Breast cancer in patients after augmentation with implants

Relevance. Currently, there is no definite answer to the question of the cause of breast cancer, since it is a systemic and multifactorial disease. Given that the number of aesthetic operations on the mammary glands using endoprostheses only increases every year, new cases of detection of malignant diseases do not decrease. Some researchers are beginning to speak out about the possible connection of augmentation mammoplasty in the anamnesis with the subsequent occurrence of breast cancer due to inadequate clinical and instrumental examination and ignoring some of its components (for example, the mammographic examination). Introduction. Taking into account the analysis of the literature and the presented clinical examples, the possible reasons for the connection of augmentation mammoplasty in the anamnesis with the subsequent detection of a malignant neoplasm are analyzed. Materials and methods. We analyzed domestic and foreign literature and described two clinical examples with authentic documentation based on the results of the examination and treatment. The article describes in detail the schemes of drug treatment and descriptions of the results of morphological examination of the surgical material. The types and results of surgical treatment with reliable photos are also presented. Results. Given the complexity of the diagnostic stage in patients with breast endoprosthesis in the described clinical examples, family history collected in sufficient detail, cytogenetic studies conducted, we should talk about the likely underdiagnosis during preventive examinations. Conclusion. The multifactorial and systematic nature of such a disease as breast cancer suggests that perhaps an intensive increase in the detectability of the above-mentioned against the background of previously performed aesthetic surgery would be the simplest solution to the problem. In this category of patients, anamnesis should be collected in more detail and carefully, and the entire complex of clinical and instrumental examinations, including mammography, magnetic resonance and ultrasound examinations, should be performed in order to fully diagnose and develop further patient management tactics.

Maqasid Al Syari'ah; Cara Islam Menghadapi Pandemi Covid 19

Hundreds of times human life has been visited by epidemics. It is also caused by disease outbreaks that a people have perished and been swallowed up by history. However, the same thing is always repeated, epidemics always come from carelessness caused by human actions themselves. As if not taking the existing lesson, humans naturally have a dichotomous character, apart from having a strong instinct to defend their life, on the other hand, humans have a tendency to do things that lead to their own destruction. Islam as a rational religion is required to provide certainty for problems related to the plague that is shaking the established order of life of Muslims. Islam must be a solution in providing a more definite answer to the direction of Muslim civilization in the covid-19 pandemic season should be built to lead to a new normal era. One answer is to use the perspective of maqasid al-shari'ah in exploring the sources of sharia law to find solutions for Muslims during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Logic

This chapter considers whether mereology should rightly be thought of as a first-order theory with parthood as a binary predicate. It considers extensions of classical mereology aimed at overcoming the expressive limits of standard first-order languages, focusing on second-order and plural formulations. Relatedly, Lewis’s megethology and applications to the philosophy of mathematics are discussed. Then, several ways of modifying the framework to make room for mereological considerations involving time and modality are presented, such as the possibility that an object may have different parts at different times, or that it could have had different parts from the ones it actually has. Finally, a number of theories are expounded that can be developed in order to deal with the phenomenon of mereological indeterminacy, i.e., the fact that in some cases the very question of whether something is part of something else does not appear to have a definite answer.

Stability of Schwarzschild (Anti)de Sitter black holes in conformal gravity

We study the thermodynamics of spherically symmetric, neutral and non-rotating black holes in conformal (Weyl) gravity. To this end, we apply different methods: (i) the evaluation of the specific heat; (ii) the study of the entropy concavity; (iii) the geometrical approach to thermodynamics known as thermodynamic geometry; (iv) the Poincaré method that relates equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium thermodynamics. We show that the thermodynamic geometry approach can be applied to conformal gravity too, because all the key thermodynamic variables are insensitive to Weyl scaling. The first two methods, (i) and (ii), indicate that the entropy of a de Sitter black hole is always in the interval $$2/3\le S\le 1$$ 2 / 3 ≤ S ≤ 1 , whereas thermodynamic geometry suggests that, at $$S=1$$ S = 1 , there is a second order phase transition to an Anti de Sitter black hole. On the other hand, we obtain from the Poincaré method (iv) that black holes whose entropy is $$S < 4/3$$ S < 4 / 3 are stable or in a saddle-point, whereas when $$S>4/3$$ S > 4 / 3 they are always unstable, hence there is no definite answer on whether such transition occurs. Since thermodynamics geometry takes the view that the entropy is an extensive quantity, while the Poincaré method does not require extensiveness, it is valuable to present here the analysis based on both approaches, and so we do.

COMPARISON OF LINEAR AND VECTOR DATA NORMALIZATION TECHNIQUES IN DECISION MAKING FOR LEARNING QUOTA ASSISTANCE

Data normalization is essential for all kinds of decision-making problems, and a lot of effort has been spent on the development of normalization models in multi-criteria decision making (MCDM), but despite all this, there is no definite answer to the question: Which is the most appropriate technique?. This paper compares the popular normalization techniques: Linear Normalization (LN) and Vector Normalization (VN) using VIšekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) Method. The beneficiaries dataset of learning quota was collected of 399 students sample through observation (drive-test measurements and online questionnaires) to obtain information on criteria data including attributes in online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. The ranking results for vector vs linear normalization show how ranking is affected. The difference in the selection of the best alternative (rank) shows that there are differences in vector and linear assessments that are influenced by the max-min criterion value which has an impact on the rank- sum results (benefit/cost). This test clearly shows how important it is to use an appropriate (normalized) representation of the model because there will often be a criterion where "the higher the better" while for others (cost) "the lower the better".

Has Financial Integration of ASEAN and APEC Contributed to Economic Growth?

As globalization prevails, financial integration has been ongoing. The movement of globalization has occurred from the 1980s and a lot of attention has been paid to occurred issues from of aspects. This study focuses on whether financial integration in ASEAN and APEC promotes economic growth or not. These areas have attempted to tackle integration and cooperation and to achieve growth. Also, a global financial crisis occurred in the 1990s, and the 2000s made policy makers and business persons aware of potential contagion. Globalization sometimes has caused a contagion of financial crises. On the other hand, cooperation promoted recovery from the damaged economy in some areas. So the pros and cons have been examined, however, a definite answer whether financial integration is correct or not remains unknown. Using available data, empirical analyses are conducted in this study to examine the relationship between financial integration and economic growth. The empirical results show that financial integration has contributed to economic growth in ASEAN, however, this result cannot be applied clearly to APEC. The variety of participating countries in APEC may have affected the result. Moreover, there are some problems to be solved for sound economic growth for these areas.

Causal inference with observational data: the need for triangulation of evidence

The goal of much observational research is to identify risk factors that have a causal effect on health and social outcomes. However, observational data are subject to biases from confounding, selection and measurement, which can result in an underestimate or overestimate of the effect of interest. Various advanced statistical approaches exist that offer certain advantages in terms of addressing these potential biases. However, although these statistical approaches have different underlying statistical assumptions, in practice they cannot always completely remove key sources of bias; therefore, using design-based approaches to improve causal inference is also important. Here it is the design of the study that addresses the problem of potential bias – either by ensuring it is not present (under certain assumptions) or by comparing results across methods with different sources and direction of potential bias. The distinction between statistical and design-based approaches is not an absolute one, but it provides a framework for triangulation – the thoughtful application of multiple approaches (e.g. statistical and design based), each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and in particular sources and directions of bias. It is unlikely that any single method can provide a definite answer to a causal question, but the triangulation of evidence provided by different approaches can provide a stronger basis for causal inference. Triangulation can be considered part of wider efforts to improve the transparency and robustness of scientific research, and the wider scientific infrastructure and system of incentives.

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) manifestation in CNS: a regular or chance occurrence?

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)-associated involvement of the peripheral nervous system is widely reported in the literature. At the same time, involvement of central nervous system (CNS) occurs far less frequently. Analysing the reported cases, almost all the authors pose the question whether there is a relationship between CNS involvement and MGUS, and at what stage it is necessary to begin therapy of haematological disorders. The limited number of reported cases precludes us from getting a definite answer to these questions, thus making further accumulation of clinical data highly relevant. In this article, we present two cases of CNS involvement in patients with MGUS, which, in our opinion, may suggest the existence of a causal relationship between MGUS and CNS involvement. Currently, the above hypothesis cannot be taken as proved due to the lack of a sufficient number of clinical observations and scientific studies. Therefore, the issue of MGUS-associated CNS involvement requires further research.
