    Optimizing irradiation through molecular assessment of lymph node (OPTIMAL): a randomized clinical trial

    In breast cancer (BC) patients, the involvement of four or more lymph nodes (LN) is an indication of regional irradiation. The optimal treatment strategy remains unclear when fewer nodes are involved and lymphadenectomy is not performed. We designed a clinical trial to show the non-inferiority of Incidental (INC) compared to intentional (INT) irradiation of axillary nodes in patients with early-stage BC and low burden LN involvement. BC patients, cN0 (n = 487) undergoing breast conservation surgery and sentinel node biopsy, with total tumor load assessed by OSNA (One-Step Nucleic Acid Amplification) of 250-15,000 copies mRNA CK19/µL in sentinel LN were randomized to receive INC or INT nodal irradiation. The primary endpoint was 5-year disease-free survival (DFS). Secondary endpoints were locoregional recurrence (LRR), distant recurrence (DR), and acute and chronic toxicity (CT). Five-years DFS were 93.7% (INC) and 93.8% (INT) (difference 0.1% [one-sided 95% CI  Intentional does not outperform incidental irradiation by more than 5.7% in terms of 5-year DFS, 4.8% for LRR, and 6% for DR.

    Los textos presentados reflejan el espíritu del encuentro que los reunió. Juntos expresan un ejercicio de interdisciplinariedad, pluralidad, debate de ideas, y difusión de diferentes puntos de vista, sobre temas relacionados con la cultura de paz, la violencia, el desarrollo y la democracia. Y contribuyen a la comprensión sobre los límites, heterogeneidades y lagunas del proceso de instauración y consolidación de las instituciones democráticas de los países de América Latina. También analizan la marginación, la desigualdad, la inequidad, la violencia, la inseguridad cotidiana y otros asuntos relacionados con la falta de recursos y opciones para los habitates de la región

    Maatalouden vesiensuojelua edistetään monin tavoin. Ravinteita ja eroosioainesta sisältäviä valumavesiä pyritään puhdistamaan erilaisissa kosteikoissa. Tämä opas on kirjoitettu avuksi pienimuotoisten kosteikkojen perustamiseen. Oppaassa esitetään käytännönläheisesti kosteikon toteuttamisen eri vaiheet paikan valinnasta suunnitteluun ja rakentamiseen. Vuonna 2010 julkaistun painoksen tiedot on saatettu ajantasalle. Julkaisu on toteutettu osana Tehoa maatalouden vesiensuojeluun (TEHO) -hanketta ja päivitetty TEHO Plus -hankkeen toimesta. Oppaan toivotaan lisäävän kiinnostusta kosteikkojen suunnitteluun ja edelleen niiden rakentamiseen
