Arterial Calcification Disappearance in Breast Imaging: A Key Indicator for Transition to Invasive Ductal Carcinoma
Diagnostics (Basel). 2024 Mar 29;14(7):727. doi: 10.3390/diagnostics14070727.ABSTRACTA woman in her 70s, initially suspected of having fibroadenoma due to a well-defined mass in her breast, underwent regular mammography and ultrasound screenings. Over several years, no appreciable alterations in the mass were observed, maintaining the fibroadenoma diagnosis. However, in the fourth year, an ultrasound indicated slight enlargement and peripheral irregularities in the mass, even though the mammography images at that time showed no alterations. Interestingly, mammography images over time showed the gradual disappearance of pre...

Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy and Adequate Margins for Patients With Ductal Carcinoma In Situ
DISCUSSION: No specific margin status was found to correlate with recurrence for patients with DCIS or DCIS + MI undergoing NSM, with an altogether low recurrence risk. Overall, this suggests that recommended DCIS margins in BCS doesn't necessarily apply in NSM, where margins of <2 mm may be acceptable.PMID:38605446 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241246179 (Source: The American Surgeon)

Expression of immune-related genes and breast cancer recurrence in women with ductal carcinoma in situ
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-obligate precursor of invasive breast cancer with highly variable clinical behavior, but risk stratification is still challenging. We sought to identify immune-related gene expression signatures of pure DCIS associated with different risks of breast cancer recurrence. (Source: European Journal of Cancer)

Periodontitis increases the risk of gastrointestinal dysfunction: an update on the plausible pathogenic molecuar mechanisms
Crit Rev Microbiol. 2024 Apr 11:1-31. doi: 10.1080/1040841X.2024.2339260. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeriodontitis is an immuno-inflammatory disease of the soft tissues surrounding the teeth. Periodontitis is linked to many communicable and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancers. The oral-systemic link between periodontal disease and systemic diseases is attributed to the spread of inflammation, microbial products and microbes to distant organ systems. Oral bacteria reach the gut via swallowed saliva, whereby they induce gut dysbiosis and gastrointestinal dy...
