18F-FDG PET for breast cancer : combined analysis of tumour perfusion and metabolism for tumour characterisation and neoadjuvant chemotherapy respons…

2020

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a common treatment in patients with locally advanced or large breast cancer at diagnosis. A pathological complete response (pCR) at the end of NAC is recognized as a good surrogate marker of relapse-free survival. An early identification of the pathological response has then become a key parameter to monitor new therapeutic strategies. Studies, focusing on predictive biomarkers identification, have shown that early changes in tumour metabolism, assessed by Positron Emission Tomography (PET) using 2-desoxy-2-18F-fluoro-D-glucose (18F-FDG), allow the early assessment of the pathological response at the end of treatment. However, given the diversity of breast …

From Undetectable Equals Untransmittable (U=U) to Breastfeeding: Is the Jump Short?

2022

Background: Vertical transmission of HIV infection may occur during pregnancy, at childbirth or through breastfeeding. Recommendations on the safety of breastfeeding of HIV-infected women on effective antiretroviral treatment are not univocal among international guidelines (WHO 2010, EACS 2017, DHHS 2017), leaving space for variability at the patient’s level. Methods: We collected clinical, laboratory and outcome data from 13 HIV-infected pregnant women who, between March 2017 and June 2021, elected to breastfeed their children against specific medical advice. All mothers were on antiretroviral therapy with darunavir or raltegravir plus emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil and remained HIV-RN…

Einfluß der Proliferationsrate auf den Krankheitsverlauf von nodalnegativen Mammakarzinomen

1995

In 250 patients with node-negative breast cancer and no systemic adjuvant therapy the impact on the prognosis of the variables age, histological tumour type, tumour size, histological grade, receptor status and localisation of the tumour within the breast, was studied. Patients were followed over a mean period of 60 (range 7-164) months. In a subset of 124 cases additional examination of the growth fraction rate, detected by immunohistochemical determination of antibody Ki-67 and semiquantitative measurement of the stained tumour cell nuclei was performed. In 43 cases, measurement of S-phase fraction by flow cytometry was also performed. By univariate analysis, the histological tumour type …

Olive oil intake and cancer risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis

2022

Background Research evidence has established the beneficial effects of diet in cancer prevention; various epidemiological studies have suggested that olive oil component could play a role in decreasing cancer risk. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the association between olive oil consumption, cancer risk and prognosis. Methods A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases (end-of-search: May 10, 2020). Pooled relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were estimated with random-effects (DerSimonian-Laird) models. Subgroup analyses, sensitivity analyses and meta-regression analysis were also performed. Results 45…

Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap ME516 - Universitetet i Agder 2017 Objective: To explore whether there is an association between socioeconomic status and maternal body mass index, and duration of partial breastfeeding/exclusive breastfeeding of Norwegian infants in 2016. Design: Cross-sectional design. Baseline data from a randomized controlled trial, collected by a Food Frequency Questionnaire. Setting: Recruitment was done through Facebook and child health care centres in 2016. In total 1048 infants/parents were interested in participating in the study Early Food for Future Health. Subjects: A total of 715 infant/mother- dyads completed the questionnaire when the child was between 5 and…

Fisiopatologia. — Membrane vesicles, shed from in vitro cultured human breast carcinomas cells, inhibit lymphocytes proliferation.

1994

Membrane vesicles are released by the cells of the two human breast carcinoma cell lines 8701-BC and MCF-7. Vesicles express on their surface HLA Class I molecules and tumor associated antigens and they appear to have a strong, dose dependent, inhibitory effect on thymidine incorporation by periferal lymphocytes. Inhibition is evident on both PhA stimulated or non stimulated lymphocytes. The inhibitory effect is visible after three days of culture. Vesicle addition does not cause cytotoxic effects since inhibited lymphocytes are still capable to exclude Trypan blue. No apoptoptic cells were observed.

Analysis of dietary patterns and nutritional adequacy in lactating women : a multicentre European cohort (ATLAS study)

2021

Abstract Eating habits of lactating women can influence the nutrient composition of human milk, which in turn influences nutrient intake of breastfed infants. The aim of the present study was to identify food patterns and nutritional adequacy among lactating women in Europe. Data from a multicentre European longitudinal cohort (ATLAS study) were analysed to identify dietary patterns using cluster analysis. Dietary information from 180 lactating women was obtained using 3-d food diaries over the first 4 months of lactation. Four dietary patterns were identified: ‘vege-oils’, ‘fish-poultry’, ‘confectionery-salads’ and ‘mixed dishes’. Nutrition adequacy was not significantly different between …
