Multimodal Imaging of Target Detection Algorithm under Artificial Intelligence in the Diagnosis of Early Breast Cancer

This study aimed to analyze the diagnostic value of multimodal images based on artificial intelligence target detection algorithms for early breast cancer, so as to provide help for clinical imaging examinations of breast cancer. This article combined residual block with inception block, constructed a new target detection algorithm to detect breast lumps, used deep convolutional neural network and ultrasound imaging in diagnosing benign and malignant breast lumps, took breast density grading with mammography, compared the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm with the proposed algorithm, and then applied the proposed algorithm to the diagnosis of 120 female patients with breast lumps. According to the results, accuracy rates of breast lump detection (94.76%), benign and malignant breast lumps diagnosis (98.22%), and breast grading (93.65%) with the algorithm applied in this study were significantly higher than those (75.67%, 87.23%, and 79.54%) with CNN algorithm, and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05); among 62 patients with malignant breast lumps of the 120 patients with breast lumps, 37 were patients with invasive ductal carcinoma, 8 with lobular carcinoma in situ, 16 with intraductal carcinoma, and 4 with mucinous carcinoma; among the remaining 58 patients with benign breast lumps, 28 were patients with fibrocystic breast disease, 17 with intraductal papilloma, 4 with breast hyperplasia, and 9 with adenopathy; the differences in shape, growth direction, edge, and internal echo of multimodal ultrasound imaging of patients with benign and malignant breast lumps had statistical significance ( P < 0.05); the malignant constituent ratios of patients with breast density grades I to IV were 0%, 7.10%, 80.40%, and 100%, respectively. In short, the multimodal imaging diagnosis under the algorithm in this article was superior to CNN algorithm in all aspects; according to the judgment on benign and malignant breast lumps and breast density with multimodal imaging features, the higher the breast density, the higher the probability of breast cancer.

Effect of Anatomical and Physiological Factors on Ultrasonic Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System Score in Iraqi Women Presenting with Breast Lumps

BACKGROUND: Breast lumps are a common presentation that can be assess non-invasively using the ultrasonic examination. AIM: The study aimed to assess the effect of different anatomical and physiological factors on the outcome of ultrasonic scoring of breast lumps. METHODS: A total of 60 females presented with a breast lump on ultrasound assessment were randomly selected after their consent at the Clinic for Early Detection of Breast Cancer in Baghdad. The results were expressed according to the ultrasound breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) scoring. RESULTS: There was a statistically significant positive correlation between the BI-RADS score with breast size, age, postmenopausal state, and personal or familial history of breast disease. Most cases (46.7%) scored BI-RADS II, followed by scores of III (21.6%), 4 (16.7%), and V (15%). The upper lateral quadrant of the breast was the most commonly affected sites. Marital status, parity, and breastfeeding didn’t have statistically significant influence on the sores. CONCLUSION: Ultrasonic BI-RADS scoring of breast lumps provides an initial reliable tool for the management of breast disease. Higher scores are associated with increasing breast size, age, postmenopausal state, and personal or familial history of breast disease. Several anatomical, physiological, hereditary, and environmental aspects influence such factors.

Prevention and treatment of lactostasis and (or) mastitis in the pediatric area: practical aspects

Introduction. Incomplete breast emptying is the main cause of lactostasis, which can contribute to the development of mastitis. The article discusses the issues of prevention and treatment of lactostasis in breastfeeding mothers in the district covered by childhealth care: how to arrange breastfeeding, expression of breast milk, regime issues from the baby’s first days, as well as present-day knowledge on breast milk microbiota dysbiosis and an option of probiotic therapy. Clinical cases are presented.Clinical case 1. A breastfeeding mother found breast lumps on the one side 2 weeks after her labour. Lactostasis was diagnosed, it was caused by inappropriate breastfeeding technique. The breastfeeding mother was provided with the recommendations for proper performance of breastfeeding technique and prescribed the drug therapy: ibuprofen 400 mg once at fever ≥ 38.5 ºC and Lactobacillus fermentum CEST5716 – 1 capsule once daily. On the 3rd day, her health state significantly improved, the pain reduced, the temperature returned to normal, the breast lumps practically disappeared, on the 5th day the pain and breast lumps completely disappeared.Clinical case 2. A breastfeeding mother, first labour, 2 months have passed since her labour, exclusively breastfeeding on demand, complaints of pain in the left breast, local hyperemia 3 x 3 cm occurred, no breast lumps, local pain elicited by palpation, fever of 37.2 ºC. The breastfeeding mother was diagnosed with lactostasis, she was provided with recommendations for the arrangement of breastfeeding and expression of breast milk; not proscribed with antibacterial therapy, but the therapy with Lactobacillus fermentum CEST5716, 1 capsule once daily for 1 month. A day later, her health state improved: the pain reduced, the hyperemia disappeared, her body temperature returned to normal. The patient was recommended non-drug measures for preventing lactostasis and continuous administration of Lactobacillus fermentum CEST5716 – 1 capsule daily for 1 month.Clinical case 3. A breastfeeding mother detected daily lactostasis in her right breast 3 months after her labour. It might had been caused by chest contusion before the onset of the 1st episode of lactostasis. Medical examination revealed calcifications in her breast duct. Against the background of non-drug therapy, the patient adminstered Lactobacillus fermentum CEST5716 – 1 capsule daily, which resulted in a positive effect in a week’s time. The follow-up observation showed that lactostasis completely resolved without relapses in a 1.5-months’ time.Сonclusion. The correct breastfeeding technique is key to the prevention of lactostasis and mastitis, and the use of probiotic therapy Lactobacillus fermentum CEST5716 is an effective and safe drug treatment.

Assessment of clinical significance of serum uric acid, serum bilirubin and serum creatinine in patients with breast lump

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in females, approximately a quarter of all cancers. Several tumor markers are being studied now a days like α feto protein, carcinoembryonic antigen, and human chorionic gonadotropin but, the cost of these analytical methods is very high. This study is directed to assess prognostic value of serum uric acid, serum bilirubin and serum creatinine in breast lump cases. And to compare variation in benign and malignant breast lumps in relation to serum uric acid, serum bilirubin and serum creatinine values.Methods: Observational and prospective study conducted in Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal from November 2018-July 2020 included 100 patients. 50 patients were having benign breast lumps and other 50 patients malignant. Categorization of the patients done on the basis of histopathological examination. Autoanalyzer was used for estimation of serum uric acid, serum bilirubin and serum creatinine.Results: High serum uric acid level may anticipate poor prognosis in carcinoma breast, and it may perform a promising role in the management of the same. The level of serum bilirubin was slightly more or within normal range. The level of serum creatinine was within normal range in absence of any renal impairment by other etiology.Conclusions: The evaluation of serum uric acid and serum bilirubin may be useful for predicting prognosis in females with malignant breast lump and can provide help in making diagnosis during the initial assessment of the patient presenting with breast lump.
