Abstract

Sentinel biopsy technique was performed in Europe in 1996.It was a great improvement in the surgical treatment of breast cancer, it decreased the number of patients suffering from early and late morbidity following axillary lymph node dissection (ALND). In our paper we demonstrate the evolution of sentinel biopsy technique (SLNB), as well as the changes in our policy on axillary treatment in line with the European trends. The authors of this article give an overview and analyse the relevant literature concerning sentinel lymph node biopsy and data of patients on whom sentinel lymph node biopsy was performed from 01/01/2001 to 31/12/2012. Between 2001 and 2013 we performed 3756 breast operations, 2742 of those were done for malignant disease. Altogether we performed 744 sentinel lymph node biopsies in the Uzsoki teaching Hospital. The proportion of SLNB patients is increasing, it was 24.6% between 2001-2006 and 29.2% between 2007-2012, respectively. The indication of SLNB is widening, there might be justification of the technique even by multifocal or multilocular disease, in male patients, after former breats surgery or even in pregnant patients. Histological examination of sentinel lymph node and its effect on complex treatmen...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
