The concept of a Sheffer operation known for Boolean algebras and orthomodular lattices is extended to arbitrary directed relational systems with involution. It is proved that to every such relational system, there can be assigned a Sheffer groupoid and also, conversely, every Sheffer groupoid induces a directed relational system with involution. H...
Postpartum breast cancer (PPBC) - which according to new data, can extend to 5-10 years after the birth - are estimated to represent 35-55% of all cases of breast cancer in women younger than 45 years. Increasing clinical evidence indicates that PPBC represents a high-risk form of breast cancer in young women with an approximately 2-fold increased ...

BACKGROUND: In young women, a breast cancer diagnosis after childbirth increases the risk for metastasis and death. Studies in rodents suggest that post-weaning mammary gland involution contributes to the poor prognosis of postpartum breast cancers. However, this association has not been investigated in humans, mainly because of missing information...

The mammary gland is a highly dynamic tissue that changes throughout reproductive life, including growth during puberty and repetitive cycles of pregnancy and involution. Mammary gland tumors represent the most common cancer diagnosed in women worldwide. Studying the regulatory mechanisms of mammary gland development is essential for understanding ...

The ability of a mother to produce a nutritionally complete neonatal food source has provided a powerful evolutionary advantage to mammals. Milk production by mammary epithelial cells is adaptive, its release is exquisitely timed, and its own glandular stagnation with the permanent cessation of suckling triggers the cell death and tissue remodeling...

Infantile hemangiomas are the most common vascular tumors of infancy, affecting up to 12% of infants by the first year of life. To familiarize physicians with the natural history, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of infantile hemangiomas. A Pubmed search was conducted in November 2019 in Clinical Queries using the key term "infant...

To assess outcomes of unilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCDK) managed at an Australasian centre over a 15 year period. To assess if MCDK involution could be predicted based on change noted between first two postnatal ultrasound scans 6 months apart. A retrospective study was performed. One-hundred-and-six cases of unilateral MCDK were studi...

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling and control of local bioavailability of free IGF by the IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) are important regulators of both mammary development and breast cancer. A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified small nucleotide polymorphisms that reduce the expression of IGFBP-5 as a risk factor of deve...
