Experimental Investigation for Detecting Mitotic Cells in Medical Image using an Automated Algorithm
Cancer of the breast is a malignant tumour that originates in the cells of the breast tissue. It is by far the most common kind of cancer found in females around the world, with a projected 2.3 million new cases will be discovered in the year 2020 alone. It is projected that one in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their life, despite the fact that breast cancer can also occur in men. Breast cancer is a complex condition that can arise from a diverse set of factors, express itself in a variety of ways, and can be treated in a variety of ways. Ductal carcinoma in situ, invasive ductal carcinoma, and invasive lobular carcinoma are all different subtypes. Both the available treatment options and the expected outcome of breast cancer are very variable depending on the particular subtype of the illness. Breast cancer risk factors include drinking alcohol and not getting enough exercise, as well as getting older, having a family history of the disease, having genetic mutations, being exposed to estrogens, and having a family history of the disease. There is not always a connection between having risk factors and developing breast cancer, despite the fact that there can be a link between the two. The prognosis and treatment options for breast cancer are highly dependent on the stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis. During staging, the extent to which the cancer has spread throughout the body and how far it has progressed are both measured. The TNM system, the IAFCM system, the ACM system, and the MPIG system are just few of the staging systems that are used to classify breast cancer. These staging systems consider not only the size of the tumor but also whether or not lymph nodes are involved and whether or not distant metastases are present. The severity of breast cancer symptoms can vary widely, depending not only on the subtype of the disease but also on how far along it has progressed. Alterations in the size or shape of the breast, discharge from the nipple, and alterations in the skin of the breast (such as redness or dimpling) are all common indications. On the other hand, not all cases of breast cancer present themselves in a visible manner, and mammography and other forms of routine screening may be able to detect some of these cases. Options for treating breast cancer vary depending on the patient's condition and the stage of the disease, as well as the patient's overall health and their preferences towards therapy. Common examples of medical interventions include surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy. Other examples include. In certain cases, it may be appropriate to participate in more than one form of treatment
2-Amino-N-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4,5-dimethylthiophene-3-carboxamide
In the title compound, C14H16N2O2S, the two aromatic rings make a dihedral angle of 13.9 (1)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by both inter- and intramolecular N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds
Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence in association with VACTERL association: a case report
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare complication of multiple pregnancy caused by defects in early embryogenesis. The pump twin supplies the acardiac recipient twin with blood, and although the pump twin is usually structurally normal, congenital anomalies have sometimes been reported. We report a unique case of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence with a prenatal diagnosis of VACTERL association in the surviving pump twin.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>A 24-year-old Caucasian woman presented at 11 weeks' gestation with a monochorionic, monoamniotic twin pregnancy. A reversed arterial flow was noted on a Doppler imaging study coming from the larger, apparently normal twin to the smaller, grossly abnormal twin, and a diagnosis of twin reversed arterial perfusion sequence was made. Cardiac activity was undetectable in the recipient twin by 16 weeks' gestation. Further detailed assessment at 18 weeks' gestation revealed multiple congenital anomalies of the surviving pump twin, in keeping with a diagnosis of VACTERL association. A live infant girl was delivered at 39 weeks by elective cesarean section. She underwent extensive surgery with subsequent normal development at the age of two years.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The co-existence of two rare and complex conditions in this unique case raises interesting questions about the role of early defects in embryogenesis and their subsequent effects on fetal development. This case also highlights the importance of prenatal diagnosis of major congenital anomalies to the plan treatment, reduce morbidity and aid the survival of affected children.</p
Structural properties of alkaline sodium lead fluoride borate glasses incorporated with Praseodymium ion
The effect of different alkaline and Pr ions on the density and structure of Na2O-PbO-MO-B2O3 (M represents
Ba/Ca/Sr) has been investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). The amorphous
phase has been identified based on X-ray diffraction analysis. The Praseodymium oxide plays the role as a glass-modifier
and influences on BO3 ↔BO4 conversion. The same effect is also observed in density and molar volume variation due to
non bridging oxygen’s (NBO) created when BO3 units are converted
(2E)-N-Methyl-2-[(2E)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide
The title compound, C11H13N3S, is close to being planar, with a dihedral angle of 9.64&#8197;(3)&#176; between the benzene ring and the thiosemicarbazone mean plane, maintained by the presence of &#960;-conjugation in the chain linking the the two systems. In the crystal, N&#8212;H...S hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers through a cyclic association [graph-set R22(8)]
