Abstract B15: Assessing the feasibility of an online cognitive health education program to address cognitive changes among breast cancer survivors
Conclusions: Results demonstrated that dissemination of a web-based TW was feasible and may have a global impact. To improve awareness of the TW website, future dissemination methods include distribution of business cards at professional/community events and engaging existing partners to disseminate via social media. Further TW website enhancements include a cognitive health blog and links to healthy living mobile applications and cognitive training platforms.Acknowledgement: Think Well is supported by a grant from the North Central Alabama Affiliate of Susan G.

Conflict and famine in South Sudan have led to an exodus of refugees into Uganda. Credit: JAMES OATWAY/UNICEFBy Roshni MajumdarUNITED NATIONS, Aug 8 2017 (IPS)The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has released new findings on the economic gains—besides the obvious health benefits—of breastfeeding. Hailing the practice as an investment that ought to be supported by governments, the UN estimates that 4.70 dollars can push up rates of breastfeeding to 50 ...

Whole body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) and brain MRI baseline surveillance in TP53 germline mutation carriers: experience from the Li-Fraumeni Syndrome Education and Early Detection (LEAD) clinic
The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic performance of whole body MRI (WB-MRI) and dedicated brain MRI screening as part of a comprehensive screening clinic called Li-Fraumeni Education and Early Detection (LEAD) at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Adult ( ≥21 year old) and pediatric (<21 year old) patients were referred to the LEAD clinic by healthcare providers or self-referred and screened at 6 month intervals. During the study period, 63 LFS individuals were seen in the LEAD clinic including 49 adults (11 male, 38 female) and 14 children (7 male, 7 female). Fifty-three of 63 p otentially eligible...

Infantile neuroblastoma and maternal occupational exposure to medical agents
CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrated, for the first time, a potential association between maternal occupational exposure and the occurrence of neuroblastoma in offspring. Further studies involving the large pediatric cancer registries are needed to confirm these preliminary results.IMPACT: Healthcare workers are often exposed to hazardous agents and are at risk for adverse health consequences that affect not only themselves but also their infants. This study examined the association between such occupational exposure and offspring's cancers that developed until the age of 1 year. Maternal exposure to ionizing radiat...

Medical guidelines for Li-Fraumeni syndrome 2019, version 1.1
Int J Clin Oncol. 2021 Oct 11. doi: 10.1007/s10147-021-02011-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLi-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a hereditary tumor that exhibits autosomal dominant inheritance. LFS develops in individuals with a pathogenic germline variant of the cancer-suppressor gene, TP53 (individuals with TP53 pathogenic variant). The number of individuals with TP53 pathogenic variant among the general population is said to be 1 in 500 to 20,000. Meanwhile, it is found in 1.6% (median value, range of 0-6.7%) of patients with pediatric cancer and 0.2% of adult patients with cancer. LFS is diagnosed by the presence of germlin...

Design and Development of a Medical Image Databank for Assisting Studies in Radiomics
J Digit Imaging. 2022 Feb 15. doi: 10.1007/s10278-021-00576-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCompreHensive Digital ArchiVe of Cancer Imaging - Radiation Oncology (CHAVI-RO) is a multi-tier WEB-based medical image databank. It supports archiving de-identified radiological and clinical datasets in a relational database. A semantic relational database model is designed to accommodate imaging and treatment data of cancer patients. It aims to provide key datasets to investigate and model the use of radiological imaging data in response to radiation. This domain of research area addresses the modeling and analysis of complete tr...

Patient-specific radiological protection precautions following Cs collagen embedded Cs-131 implantation in the brain
CONCLUSIONS: Radiological protection precautions were developed based on patient-specific emissions and accounted for multiple implantations of Cs-131, to maintain exposure to staff and the public in accordance with relevant regulatory dose constraints.PMID:36109179 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.13776

Super-resolution of brain tumor MRI images based on deep learning
CONCLUSIONS: MRBT-SR-GAN exhibited great potential in the early detection and accurate evaluation of the recurrence and prognosis of brain tumors, which could be employed in brain tumor surgery planning and navigation. In addition, this technique renders precise radiotherapy possible. The design paradigm of the MRBT-SR-GAN neural network may be applied for medical image super-resolution in other diseases with different modalities as well.PMID:36107021 | DOI:10.1002/acm2.13758
