1%).\n\nCONCLUSION: Cervical length and the estriol to estradiol ratio represent good predictive indicators of the response to the induction of labor in postterm pregnancies.”
“Limbs ischaemia represents a rare event during the neonatal period. The present paper reports an unusual case of precocious arm ischemia that occurred immediately after birth and successfully treated with a peripheral nerve blockade.\n\nPeripheral nerve blockade resulted in an effective and safe therapeutic approach able to allow the salvaging of the limbs.”
“Background: Controversy continues about screening mammography, in part
because of the risk of false-negative and false-positive mammograms. Pre-test breast cancer risk factors may improve the positive and negative predictive value of screening.\n\nPurpose: To create a model that estimates the potential impact Quisinostat inhibitor of pre-test risk prediction using clinical and genomic information on the reclassification of women with abnormal mammograms (BI-RADS3 and BI-RADS4 [Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System]) above and below the threshold for breast biopsy.\n\nMethods: The current study modeled 1-year breast cancer risk in women with abnormal screening mammograms using existing data on breast cancer risk factors, 12 validated breast cancer single-nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs), and probability of cancer given the BI-RADS category. Examination was made AG-881 of reclassification of women above and below biopsy thresholds of 1%, 2%, and 3% risk. The Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium data were collected from 1996 to 2002. Data analysis
was conducted in 2010 and 2011.\n\nResults: Using a biopsy risk threshold of 2% and the standard risk factor model, selleckchem 5% of women with a BI-RADS3 mammogram had a risk above the threshold, and 3% of women with BI-RADS4A mammograms had a risk below the threshold. The addition of 12 SNPs in the model resulted in 8% of women with a BI-RADS3 mammogram above the threshold for biopsy and 7% of women with BI-RADS4A mammograms below the threshold.\n\nConclusions: The incorporation of pre-test breast cancer risk factors could change biopsy decisions for a small proportion of women with abnormal mammograms. The greatest impact comes from standard breast cancer risk factors. (Am J Prev Med 2013;44(1):15-22) (C) 2013 American Journal of Preventive Medicine”
“Introduction: The inability to experience pleasure, anhedonia, is recognized as al hallmark symptom of depression. A 14-item, self-report scale developed for the assessment of hedonic capacity: the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) has proved to be a reliable and valid psychometric instrument.\n\nObjective: Because there are no versions of the scale in other languages, our objective in this study was to translate the instrument into spanish and to determine if the new version maintained the validity and reliability of its original english version.
