Cancer of the Thyroid
2021
Thyroid cancers are the most frequent endocrine neoplasms whose incidence is globally increasing. Thyroid carcinomas basically derived from follicular (papillary, follicular, anaplastic and poorly differentiated) or parafollicular cells (medullary). The diagnostic evaluation of thyroid cancers is mainly based on neck ultrasonography along with fine needle aspiration. First initial risk evaluation should be carried out postoperatively, while a dynamic risk stratification should be continually assessed to personalize treatment. Whereas combination of surgery, adjuvant radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation, and hormone therapy enables high rates of cure in differentiated tumors (DTC), surgical res…
Prognostic markers in low-grade papillary urothelial neoplasms of the urinary bladder: an update
2009
Abstract Papillary urothelial neoplasms of the urinary bladder comprise a heterogeneous spectrum of ‘continuous' lesions in which the assessment of an accurate histological grade and tumour stage is mandatory for the clinical management of patients. The 1998 World Health Organization/International Society of Urologic Pathologists (WHO/ISUP) consensus classification and the 1999 WHO classification proposed new malignancy grading schemes, mainly based on morphometric studies for the replacement of the 1973 WHO grading system. In accordance with these novel grading systems, two major categories of papillary urothelial neoplasms were distinguished: low-grade and high-grade papillary urothelial …
Prognostic markers in low-grade papillary urothelial neoplasms of the urinary bladder
2005
Summary Papillary urothelial neoplasms (PUNs) of the urinary bladder comprise a heterogeneous spectrum of ‘continuous' lesions in which the assessment of an accurate histological grade and tumor stage is necessary for an adequate clinical management of patients. Recently, the 1998 World Health Organization/International Society of Urologic Pathologists (WHO/ISUP) Consensus Classification and the 1999 WHO classification proposed a new malignancy grading scheme based mainly on morphometric studies. In accordance with these grading systems, two major categories of PUNs were distinguished: low-grade and high-grade. Concerning the specific subgroup of low-grade tumors two other entities were def…
Fertility sparing treatments in endometrial cancer patients: the potential role of the new molecular classification
2021
Endometrial cancer is the most frequent gynecological malignancy, and, although epidemiologically it mainly affects advanced age women, it can also affect young patients who want children and who have not yet completed their procreative project. Fertility sparing treatments are the subject of many studies and research in continuous evolution, and represent a light of hope for young cancer patients who find themselves having to face an oncological path before fulfilling their desire for motherhood. The advances in molecular biology and the more precise clinical and prognostic classification of endometrial cancer based on the 2013 The Cancer Genome Atlas classification allow for the selection…
Application of MOOSY32 eNose to Assess the Effects of Some Post Harvest Treatments on the Quality of ‘Salustiana’ Orange Juice
2015
A new prototype of Electronic Nose instrument, Multisensory Odor Olfactory System MOOSY32, with a processing method based on a multivariate classification analysis was used to assess different postharvest and storage treatments effects to Salustiana oranges. The analysis method is based on the measurement of the volatile compounds produced under different environmental and operational conditions. The Electronic Nose system revealed that orange juice flavor changes even when juices are analyzed right after each treatment and fruits are stored under refrigerated conditions. The instrument was able to detect even small changes in the aromatic pattern of the juices, confirming that the packing …
Classification of Gingival Recession
2018
Gingival recession is a common finding in many patients and is clinically manifested by an apical displacement of the gingival margin in relation to the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). Various classification systems have been proposed to classify gingival recession defects and to predict final root coverage outcomes. Among them, the Miller classification is still the most commonly used among dental practitioners and researchers. This chapter reviews the different classification systems available for gingival recession defects and explores the strengths and limitations of them.
Search for High-energy Neutrinos from Gravitational Wave Event GW151226 and Candidate LVT151012 with ANTARES and IceCube
2017
[EN] The Advanced LIGO observatories detected gravitational waves from two binary black hole mergers during their first observation run (O1). We present a high-energy neutrino follow-up search for the second gravitational wave event, GW151226, as well as for gravitational wave candidate LVT151012. We find two and four neutrino candidates detected by IceCube, and one and zero detected by ANTARES, within +/- 500 s around the respective gravitational wave signals, consistent with the expected background rate. None of these neutrino candidates are found to be directionally coincident with GW151226 or LVT151012. We use nondetection to constrain isotropic-equivalent high-energy neutrino emission …
Collapse structures in the Permian of the Saar-Nahe area, Southwest Germany
1971
Volcanic breccias near an intrusive rhyolite dome in the Permian Saar-Nahe trough of southwest Germany have been identified as complex pipe-like subsidence-structures occupying the site and immediate neighbourhood of “explosive” volcanoes.
Rb-Sr geochronology in favour of polymetamorphism in the Pan African Damara belt of Namibia (South West Africa)
1978
New Rb-Sr whole rock age data are reported from two metasedimentary sequences of the Damara Supergroup in the central Pan African Damara belt of Namibia (South West Africa).
Multilabel segmentation of cancer cell culture on vascular structures with deep neural networks
2020
New increasingly complex in vitro cancer cell models are being developed. These new models seem to represent the cell behavior in vivo more accurately and have better physiological relevance than prior models. An efficient testing method for selecting the most optimal drug treatment does not exist to date. One proposed solution to the problem involves isolation of cancer cells from the patients' cancer tissue, after which they are exposed to potential drugs alone or in combinations to find the most optimal medication. To achieve this goal, methods that can efficiently quantify and analyze changes in tested cell are needed. Our study aimed to detect and segment cells and structures from canc…
