The objective: to study the incidence of gynecological diseases, clinical and hormonal parameters of the menstrual cycle in patients with benign hyper-plastic processes of breasts. Patients and methods. 65 women with various forms of mastitis were investigated. The following investigations were conducted: mammologistic and gynecological investigation, mommologistic X-ray investigation, ultrasound of breasts and of the pelvic organs, endometrial aspiration biopsy that was followed by cytology; when it was necessary the diagnostic laparoscopy, colposcopy, hysteroscope with curettage and morphological investigation of the endometrium, hormone research and rectal temperature measurements were conducted. Results. The frequency of the benign breast diseases was set: fibrocystic disease of breast – 32 women (49.2±6.20%), fibrous of breast – 16 women (24.6±5.34%), nodular of breasts – 8 women (12.3±4.07%), fibroadenoma – 6 women (9.2±3.59%), nodular disease of breasts on the background of fibroid changes – 3 women (4.6±2.60%). All in all, 96.9±2.14% of the patients had any gynecological diseases. Thus, the average age of the ‘debut’ of mastitis was 31.4±1.09 years; the hyper-plastic processes in the uterus was 35.2±1.17 years. Anovulation was detected in 17 (47.2±8.3%) patients, the lack of the luteal phase (NLF) was detected in 11 (30.6±7.6) patients. Conclusions. Identified hormonal changes are typical for patients with the hyper-plastic processes of the reproductive organs with different localization (breasts, uterus, ovaries). Due to the commonality of the hormone changes in most cases mastitis is combined with the various gynecological diseases (96.9±2.14%). Key words: gynecological pathology, hormonal changes, breast, factors of risk.

BACKGROUND:  X-ray and sonomammography constitute a significant option in the early detection and management of breast diseases in the developed world. Unfortunately these modalities became available in Nigeria, only in the past few decades.AIM: The aim of this audit is therefore to document the imaging findings, in the past three years in a developing facility in Nigeria relating them with the demograghic features.METHODS: We prospectively studied the x-ray and sonomammography in all patients, presenting over a three year period, for breast evaluation with the hope of discerning the epidemiologic pattern of breast lesions in this environment.RESULTS: One hundred and forty-five females and four males. Median was 38 years (IQR=30-48). The commonest reason for evaluation was screening. Patients that were below 38 years showed no significant difference in frequency and type of lesion compared with patients over 38 years. The commonest breast pattern was fatty replaced. The upper outer quadrant was the commonest site.CONCLUSION: Patients presenting for breast evaluation in Calabar do so for screening mainly. Patients below 38 are nearly equally affected by malignant breast disease as their older counterparts. The commonest breast pattern was fatty replaced. Digital mammography should be available in all tertiary institutions.

Objective. To study the state of the breasts in women who undergo assisted reproductive technologies treatment, using modern methods of radiation imaging. Patients and methods. Pre- and prospective examination and analysis of the data of radiation imaging of the breasts of 220 women, having tubal factor infertility in combination with benign mammary dysplasia, who have successful or unsuccessful experience of participation in assisted reproductive technology programmes. The average age of patients was 42.5 years. Assessment points were: breast tissue density according to the findings of ultrasound, mammography and tomosynthesis, presence of clustered microcalcifications, presence of benign dysplastic processes and fibroadenomas of the breasts. Results. In the group of 35–39-year old patients, the most common pathological processes were fibrocystic mastopathy and fibroadenomas. The main diagnostic methods were ultrasound visualization and US-controlled core-needle vacuum-assisted biopsy. In the group of 40–44-year old women, the predominant pathological process was microcalcification clusters alongside high mammographic density. The main diagnostic methods were digital x-ray tomosynthesis and X-ray-guided core-needle vacuum-assisted biopsy. In the group of 45–49-year old women, cases of breast cancer were diagnosed. 12 women in this group had breast implants. Conclusion. Hormonal medication used in assisted reproductive technologies under the protocols of in-vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmatic sperm injection influence the state of the breasts, increasing a risk of developing diffuse benign mammary dysplasias and, quite possible, a risk of developing breast cancer later in life.

The goal. To show the variety of manifestations of non-palpable breast cancer, which create difficulties in diagnostics and the choice of treatment tactics, to focus on the need to accelerate the introduction of the latest organ-saving treatment and diagnostic technologies and prevention into the system of mammary cancer screening. The main provisions. The epidemiology of cancer, risk factors, positive trends in mammary cancer screening in Russia are presented. A description is given of the diversity of X-ray sonographic and molecular biological manifestations of non-palpable breast cancer based on the results of the analysis of a complex clinical X-ray sonographic pathomorphological and molecular genetic examination of 1,212 patients with clinically latent breast diseases, including 708 patients with non-palpable cancer of various molecular subtypes, manifested by a variety of options – a nodular growth (40.1%), an accumulation of microcalcifications (17.5%), a site of local heavy rearrangement of the structure (31.2%), cancer accompanied by pathological secretion (6.6%), X-ray negative cancer (4.6%). When distributed by stages, 70.3% had T1N0M0, 25% had TisN0M0 and microinvasive cancer. For differential diagnosis, high-tech radiological techniques were used – 3D X-ray and ultrasound tomosynthesis. Effective preoperative diagnostics allowed for adequate organ-saving treatment, including oncoplastic surgery, high-power radiation therapy and modern targeted drug treatment, timely rehabilitation and prevention. Conclusion. Non-palpable breast cancer has many faces. Knowledge of the variants of its manifestations and the use of modern diagnostic methods are necessary for mammary cancer screening, which creates the preconditions for adequate timely organ-saving treatment that preserves the life of patients and its quality.

AbstractUsing a new ID hybrid model of the electron bombardment in flare loops, we study not only the evolution of densities, plasma velocities and temperatures in the loop, but also the temporal and spatial evolution of hard X-ray emission. In the present paper a continuous bombardment by electrons isotropically accelerated at the top of flare loop with a power-law injection distribution function is considered. The computations include the effects of the return-current that reduces significantly the depth of the chromospheric layer which is evaporated. The present modelling is made with superthermal electron parameters corresponding to the classical resistivity regime for an input energy flux of superthermal electrons of 109erg cm−2s−1. It was found that due to the electron bombardment the two chromospheric evaporation waves are generated at both feet of the loop and they propagate up to the top, where they collide and cause temporary density and hard X-ray enhancements.

The development of the physics of the solar atmosphere during the last 50 years has been greatly influenced by the increasing capability of observations made from space. Access to images and spectra of the hotter plasma in the UV, XUV and X-ray regions provided a major advance over the few coronal forbidden lines seen in the visible and enabled the cooler chromospheric and photospheric plasma to be seen in its proper perspective, as part of a total system. In this way space observations have stimulated new and important advances, not only in space but also in ground-based observations and theoretical modelling, so that today we find a well-balanced harmony between the three techniques.

AbstractOver the last twenty years, orbiting coronagraphs have vastly increased the amount of observational material for the whitelight corona. Spanning almost two solar cycles, and augmented by ground-based K-coronameter, emission-line, and eclipse observations, these data allow us to assess,inter alia: the typical and atypical behavior of the corona; how the corona evolves on time scales from minutes to a decade; and (in some respects) the relation between photospheric, coronal, and interplanetary features. This talk will review recent results on these three topics. A remark or two will attempt to relate the whitelight corona between 1.5 and 6 R⊙to the corona seen at lower altitudes in soft X-rays (e.g., with Yohkoh). The whitelight emission depends only on integrated electron density independent of temperature, whereas the soft X-ray emission depends upon the integral of electron density squared times a temperature function. The properties of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) will be reviewed briefly and their relationships to other solar and interplanetary phenomena will be noted.
