BACKGROUND The sentinel lymph node is defined as the first to receive drainage from a primary tumor. Based on this concept, authors set out evaluate whether status of can accurately predict breast tumor cells have metastasized axillary lymphatic basin. METHODS Radiolabeled dextran was injected into site In operating room, portable gamma detector probe used identify exact location node(s). After identifying and excising radioactive specimens, routine dissection performed. All nodes were then...
Sentinel nodes (SNs), the nearest a primary tumor on direct lymphatic drainage path, are site of earliest metastases, and in melanoma show striking immune modulation. We evaluated SNs from breast cancer patients for evidence similar perturbation. The purpose this study was to evaluate whether with alterations histology cytology paracortical areas seen melanoma. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections 32 nonsentinel (NSNs) were evaluated. Sections stained hematoxylin eosin antibodies S-100...
Evidence link bacterial enterotoxins to apparent crypt-cell like cells (CCLCs), and Alpha Defensin 5 ( DEFA5 ) expansion in the colonic mucosa of Crohn’s colitis disease (CC) patients. These areas ectopic ileal metaplasia, positive for Paneth cell (PC) markers are consistent with diagnosis CC. Retrospectively, we: 1. Identified 21 patients indeterminate (IC) between 2000–2007 were reevaluation their final clinical 2014 after a followed-up mean 8.7±3.7 (range, 4–14) years. Their initial...
Background Solid tumors in general, and breast cancer particular, depend on angiogenesis to grow metastasize. Multiple agents have been developed order inhibit this phenomenon of tumor-induced angiogenesis. TNP-470 is one the most potent these drugs. We report here a case regression metastatic lesions from due administration anti-angiogenic drug TNP-470. Methods A 44-year-old woman with history stage 2 metastases at four sites: eye, lung, liver, bone. She had treated radiation, megace,...
The purpose of this study was to assess the utility contrast-enhanced breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in identifying lesions unidentified on craniocaudal projection. authors reviewed five patients with suspicious mammographic not imaged mammogram who were referred for MRI and underwent subsequent preoperative needle localization four cases. Five patients, ages 56 69 years, had identified mediolateral oblique (MLO) or (ML) projections only. Ultrasound did identify lesion any these...
There is a wide variety of objects that find their way into the human gastrointestinal tract, either accidentally or deliberately. In this case crack pipe was ingested in its entirety. Despite seemingly rare and random nature scenario presents, patient's care serves to reinforce what should be done successfully manage patient with an foreign body, as well important issues related cocaine abuse.

INTRODUCTION: Early medical student exposure to neurosurgery through preclinical electives has been shown improve recruitment, yet the effect on students without a home program is unknown. We conducted elective in mixed cohort of with and 1) evaluate pre- postelective perceptions, 2) discern differences between cohorts, 3) identify important factors those considering career. METHODS: A yearly was offered enrolled at Vanderbilt University School Medicine (VUSM; program) or Meharry Medical...
Background: Although the pre-clinical years are pivotal in career path commitment for medical students, this phase of education is traditionally devoid surgical exposure.Although peer-assisted learning and simulation both validated methods supplementing early exposure to specialties, their use familiarizing students with modern procedures remains minimal.We hypothesize that student-led laparoscopic will result significantly increased self-perception clerkship preparedness confidence pursuing...
Abstract Background: While breast cancer incidence is higher among whites, mortality blacks. Delays in diagnosis and treatment could contribute. Objective: Describe the time course of screening, non-Hispanic black white non-HMO Medicare beneficiaries ages > 65 years. Data Methods: We selected a 2005-2008 sub-sample beneficiaries, restricted to women years older who were: alive from at least 2005 2007; had out-patient (Part B) insurance; were not enrolled HMO's for any part observation...
