Um procedimento é descrito para a determinação simultânea de substâncias androgênicas, incluindo esteróides e β 2 -agonistas. O método envolve a análise de compostos anabólicos em urina hidrolisada, usando-se extração líquido-líquido com subseqüente conversão a derivados trimetilsililéteres, para análise por CG-EM. Injeção com divisão de fluxo de 1/10 dos derivados TMS a 280 °C, em uma coluna c...

BACKGROUND Relative to Western women, Korean women show several differences in breast-related characteristics, including higher rates of dense breasts and small breasts. We investigated how mammographic composition and breast size affect the glandular dose during full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in Korean women using a radiation dose management system. METHODS From June 1 to June 30, 201...

M oday, M arch 7, 2017 reduction (SPAIR) mammaplasty. This technique utilizes an inferior pedicle, circumvertical skin resection pattern, and purse-string peri-areolar closure to achieve a stable and aesthetic breast shape. Late breast distortion from seroma formation is rare complication than may occur after an initially satisfactory result. Contraction of the seroma cavity may cause the surro...

Outcome evaluation in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery of the breast is commonly performed visually or employing bi-dimensional photography. The reconstructive process in the era of anatomical implants requires excellent survey capabilities that mainly rely on surgeon experience. In this paper we present a set of parameters to unambiguously estimate the shape of natural and reconstructed bre...

Enrollment in all programs in the LAR Department has fluctuated in the past 3 years. BAE enrollment has decreased significantly since 2009-10. In this period, the enrollment was 1469, while in 2011-12 it was 473. Enrollment in CPAS has decreased slightly going from 555 in 2009-10 to 505 in 2011-12. Enrollment in the LEARN courses has decreased slightly from 1199 in 2009-10 to 1092 in 2011-12. E...

Abstract Population growth has been closely associated with agricultural production, since the first famine predicted by Malthus (1798) up to Green Revolution of past century. Today, we continue face increasing demand for food and crop production (Tilman et al., 2011). Considering combined caloric or protein content 275 major crops used directly as human foods livestock fish feeds, Tilman al. (...

The first regional topsoil sampling campaign since 2011 maps elevated background concentrations of potentially toxic elements in soils across north-west Syria following more than a decade conflict.

The Middle East has witnessed major geopolitical shifts since 2011 that range from the growing influence of Gulf states, pivot to Africa many region’s countries and new dynami...

In this paper, a level set algorithm is employed for shape reconstruction of conducting objects in two-dimensions. Minimum a priori information is required about the unknown objects, which is a main advantage of the level set method. Therefore several objects can be retrieved from one single initial guess. As a preliminary attempt, the breast shape is reconstructed using the proposed method. Th...

OBJECTIVE Selecting controls is one of the most difficult tasks in the design of case-control studies. Hospital controls may be inadequate and random controls drawn from the base population may be unavailable. The aim was to assess the use of hospital visitors as controls in a case-control study on the association of organochlorinated compounds and other risk factors for breast cancer conducted...
