Children’s development of semantic verbal fluency during summer vacation versus during formal schooling

Purpose: Children’s results on school-related achievements tests, such as aspects of math, reading and writing, have been shown to decline following a lengthy summer vacation. Few studies have investigated whether this also applies to vocabulary skills. The purpose of this study is to investigate how lexical organization and retrieval, assessed by a semantic verbal fluency (SVF) task, develops dur

Microscopic studies of the enteric nervous system and enteric neuropathy have often been performed by immunostaining in the myenteric plexa. The aim of the present study was to examine whether pathologic changes could be identified by conventional hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and could

Artifact reduction in simultaneous tomosynthesis and mechanical imaging of the breast

Mechanical imaging (MI) uses a pressure sensor array to estimate the stiffness of lesions. Recent clinical studies have suggested that MI combined with digital mammography may reduce false positive findings and negative biopsies by over 30%. Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has been adopted progressively in cancer screening. The tomographic nature of DBT improves lesion visibility by reducing ti

Oncoplastic Breast Surgery Compared to Conventional Breast-Conserving Surgery With Regard to Oncologic Outcome

Introduction: Oncoplastic breast surgery (OBS) has been implemented with increasing frequency in the treatment of breast cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the oncologic outcome after OBS to the outcome after conventional breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with invasive breast cancer. Patients and Methods: In all, 197 patients treated with OBS were compared to 1399 patients trea
