Abstract:
Assessment of breast masses in young women is challenging due to normal glandular variance. Our purpose is to define the outcomes of specialized physical exam, selective breast sonography (BUS), and biopsy in women younger than 30. Five hundred forty-two patients younger than 30 referred with a palpable breast mass were studied. Patients’ mean age was 24.8. Surgeon's physical exam confirmed a dominant mass in 44 per cent of cases. Thirty-seven per cent had normal clinical exams. Median tumor size was 2.2 cm. On multivariate analysis, a mass on surgeon's clinical exam ( P < 0.0001), and BUS ( P = 0.0001) predicted the presence of a true mass. Fifty-three per cent of self-detected abnormalities were true masses compared to 18 per cent when detected by the primary care provider (PCP) ( P < 0.001). Most common diagnoses were fibroadenoma (72%), breast cysts (4%), or fibrocystic changes (3%). Malignancy occurred in 1 per cent. In summary, breast mass is a common reason for surgical consultation. Normal glandular nodularity is often mistaken for a mass. However, a judicious approach of physical exam by a surgeon using selective BUS and image guided core biopsy provides an efficient and safe approach for diagnosis. Breast malignancy is a rare but serious cause of breast mass in young women.

Abstract:
1543 Background: Breast cancer survival is improved by early diagnosis. The role of self-exam as an adjunct to screening mammography has been questioned as some studies suggest that self-examinations lead to unnecessary diagnostic procedures without improving survival. Methods: Patients who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and who were attending a university-based cancer clinic were interviewed, using a structured questionnaire, to determine the way in which their breast cancers were first identified. Inference was conducted using exact methods (Clopper-Pearson intervals for proportions and Fisher’s test for odds ratios). Results: Breast cancers were first identified by mammogram in 16% of women, by provider in 9%, by the spouse in 2%. Seventy-five percent (95% CI=61% to 85%) of patients first identified their tumors by self exam. Self-identifiers occurred in all demographic groups. These women included those with all types of insurance: private insurance (68%), Medicare (60%), Medicaid (100%), or no insurance (85%); all levels of education: 77% with college education and 75% with high school; all income levels: for example, among 79% with annual incomes of <$10K and 73% with incomes >$50K; and among both black (91%) and white (66%) women. Of the women who reported both regular mammograms and regular self-examination (N=35), 77% (95% CI=60 to 90%) were self-identifiers. However, cancers found by mammography were more likely to be Stage I than were those identified by self-examination (odds ratio=3.9, 95% CI .9 to 17.5, p=.047). Conclusions: Most breast cancers (75%) were found by self-examination, even among women who had regular mammography. We did not find any demographic factor that predicted mammography as the primary method of tumor identification. These findings suggest that self-examination remains an important method of breast cancer identification. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract:
AbstractBreast cancer is one of the most common cancer types among women, accountable for approximately 2.2 million new cases and 684,996 deaths globally in 2020. There are various screening methods to detect cancer early, and experts suggest that women should perform breast self-examination (BSE) once a month. Unfortunately, most women fail to do so even if they are aware of the risks and the importance of screening methods. The aim of this paper is to understand women's current behavior and experience with BSE and mobile BSE apps and to suggest several design dimensions for positive mobile BSE app experience by benefiting from positive technology. With this aim, three selected mobile BSE apps were used by a total of 24 participants for four weeks. A three-phase study was carried out to uncover women’s pre- during-, and post-usage experiences of BSE apps. The analysis revealed six headings under two themes: strategies, limitations, and emotions under BSE theme; and the needs, limitations, and benefits under Mobile Apps theme. Consequently, based on the findings, suggestions for design dimensions for BSE apps to better meet women’s needs by benefiting from levels of positive technology are made.

Abstract:
Background: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in Haiti yet the country does not provide sufficient screening. Working class women in Haiti are less likely to receive cancer screening or education than the poorest quartile of women. This is an untouched demographic not necessarily because of financial burdens but because most women work 6 days weekly and lack the time to seek healthcare and appropriate screening. Innovating Health International (IHI) and Share Hope recently implemented a cancer screening program using vaginal HPV self-swabs and clinical breast exams for working class women in Port-au-Prince. Aim: To not only bring much needed cervical cancer education, screening and treatment to an unreached demographic but also to assess the plausibility and acceptance by female factory workers to receive routine screening and treatment in clinics that reside within the workplace. Methods: The project began in September 2017 and will run for 12 months with plans to screen 4000 women with vaginal HPV swabs (QIAGEN careHPV) and clinical breast exams. Nurses perform clinical breast exam, teach self-breast exam, and instruct patients how to perform vaginal self-swab in the factory infirmary. Inclusion criteria for women include age 30 to 50 years. Women who screen positive for HPV will then be followed with visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA) and thermocoagulation. Those who have suspicious masses in their breast have a breast ultrasound performed at the factory clinic. A smaller percentage of women with advanced disease will be referred to outside gynecology clinics. Results: Data collection is half-way completed and we´ll present full data in October. Over 3122 women have participated and received education on women's health issues during their lunch hour at the factories. Of all those sensitized, 2691 or 86.1% chose to have clinical breast exam. Of those who are eligible for HPV screening, 1948 or 93.8% of those eligible accepted testing. Of those tested, 344 or 16% were HPV-positive and all but a 5 completed VIA. For women who are HPV-positive, 69 or 20% were also VIA positive. All HPV-positive women received thermocoagulation except for 2, who were referred for colposcopy and loop electrocautery excisional procedure. There were 141 women who had a positive clinical breast exam and underwent breast ultrasound with only 2 requiring a biopsy. Conclusion: We seek to expand access to cervical cancer screening for the rural and working poor through using mobile health technologies coupled with community-based education and screening. HPV-positive women can undergo treatment by a traveling nurse with portable thermocoagulation therapy where they live or work, without the need to travel or leave work. With no doctor, no electricity, no pelvic exam for most women, and no stable infrastructure, we can screen women in rural areas and the working poor at their place of employment.

Abstract:
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior<br>Objetivos: comparar os achados do auto-exame das mamas com o seu exame clÃnico no rastreamento de anormalidades mamÃrias. Verificar a freqÃÃncia dos conhecimentos e prÃticas relacionadas com o auto-exame das mamas. Estimar a sensibilidade e especificidade do auto-exame das mamas em relaÃÃo ao seu exame clÃnico. Averiguar se a sensibilidade à influenciada pelas variÃveis antropomÃtricas e sociodemogrÃficas ou pelos conhecimentos e prÃticas do auto-exame. Metodologia: estudo transversal de validaÃÃo de teste diagnÃstico, envolvendo 505 funcionÃrias de um hospital universitÃrio. Foi aplicado um questionÃrio sobre conhecimentos e prÃticas relacionadas com o auto-exame das mamas e ministrada instruÃÃo sobre o auto-exame a todas as participantes que posteriormente realizaram o auto-exame e foram submetidas a exame clÃnico por Ãnico examinador. Os intervalos de confianÃa de 95% foram calculados pelo mÃtodo de aproximaÃÃo pela distribuiÃÃo normal. ProporÃÃes foram comparadas por meio do teste do qui-quadrado e foram consideradas significativamente diferentes (teste bicaudado) quando a probabilidade de estas serem semelhantes foi menor ou igual a 0,05. Resultados: 94,06% tinham recebido informaÃÃo sobre o auto-exame, 29,90% pelo mÃdico. 32,28% realizavam o auto-exame mensalmente, 55,95% apÃs a menstruaÃÃo e o procedimento mais realizado era a palpaÃÃo durante o banho. A sensibilidade para qualquer achado foi de 37,21 % com IC 95% de 32,77%-41,82%. A sensibilidade, excluindo-se a assimetria, foi de 44,85% com IC 95% de 39,59-50,26%. A sensibilidade exclusiva para nÃdulo e espessamento (massa) foi de 52,07% com IC 95% de 43, 17%-60,87%. A especificidade para qualquer achado foi de 71,64% com IC 95% de 60,00%Â81,44%. A especificidade, excluindo-se a assimetria, foi de 80,57% com IC 95% de 74,20%-85,93%. A especificidade exclusiva para massa foi de 90,10% com IC 95% de 86,81 %-92,79%. A sensibilidade nÃo mostrou diferenÃa estatisticamente significativa quando estratificada por mama, conhecimentos e prÃticas relacionadas ao exame feito pela prÃpria e variÃveis antropomÃtricas e sociodemogrÃficas. ConclusÃo: o auto-exame à bastante conhecido por essa populaÃÃo, apresenta em relaÃÃo ao exame clÃnico uma baixa sensibilidade e especificidade, que se eleva quando analisadas exclusivamente as massas, aproximando-se da sensibilidade e especificidade da mamografia em mulheres abaixo dos 40 anos de idade

Abstract:
FundaÃÃo de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do CearÃ<br>O cÃncer de mama à uma patologia de incidÃncia crescente, tanto nos paÃses desenvolvidos quanto nos paÃses em desenvolvimento, parecendo estarem suas causas relacionadas ao estilo de vida moderna, de difÃcil controle. Neste contexto, os esforÃos sÃo dirigidos à prevenÃÃo secundÃria, no sentido de diagnosticar cada vez precocemente os tumores, com vistas a evitar maiores mutilaÃÃes e assegurar longa sobrevida e qualidade de vida para as mulheres acometidas por este tipo de neoplasia. Entre os mÃtodos de detecÃÃo precoce que vinham sendo recomendados pelo Instituto Nacional do CÃncer, atà o lanÃamento do Consenso para Controle do CÃncer de Mama, em abril de 2004, o auto-exame das mamas â AEM ocupava lugar de destaque, ao lado do exame mÃdico e da mamografia. Contudo, as pesquisas indicam a dificuldade de adesÃo das mulheres a este tipo de exame, apesar de ser uma tÃcnica indolor, rÃpida e gratuita. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender os aspectos psicossociais envolvidos na prÃtica do auto-exame das mamas, no intuito de oferecer subsÃdios para as prÃticas preventivas em cÃncer de mama. Para a realizaÃÃo deste estudo, utilizamos a Epistemologia Qualitativa, Gonzalez Rey (2002), a qual se embasa no MÃtodo DialÃtico e compreende ser a quantidade e a qualidade dos fatos inseparÃveis e interdependentes. Nesta perspectiva, nosso estudo contemplou tanto a realidade estruturada por meio dos nÃmeros quanto os aspectos qualitativos. Desenvolvemos um estudo transversal, de base populacional, com 561 mulheres no municÃpio de Sobral-CE, como tambÃm entrevistamos treze mulheres, consideradas informantes-chave para o estudo, e realizamos uma reuniÃo de grupo com mulheres mastectomizadas. O processo de construÃÃo de informaÃÃes permitiu a identificaÃÃo de seis focos temÃticos: 1. Conhecimento e freqÃÃncia da prÃtica do auto-exame das mamas e variÃveis correlacionadas; 2. Significados atribuÃdos e sentidos produzidos sobre o AEM; 3. MotivaÃÃo para a prÃtica do AEM; 4. Entendendo a resistÃncia para a prÃtica do AEM; 5. Discursos e sentidos presentes nas aÃÃes educativas; 6. Repensando as prÃticas preventivas em cÃncer de mama. A articulaÃÃo destes focos temÃticos permitiu- nos tecer reflexÃes acerca da representaÃÃo social do cÃncer de mama em nossa sociedade, que influencia sobremaneira a aceitaÃÃo do auto-exame de mamas. Isto porque referida tÃcnica vinha sendo trabalhada como forma de identificar alteraÃÃo nas mamas, associada ao cÃncer de mama, exacerbando o temor da existÃncia deste nas mulheres. ConcluÃmos que o auto-exame das mamas, ao contrÃrio do postulado por muitos, nÃo à uma tÃcnica simples de ser realizada, pressupondo capacidade de enfrentamento, pois, ao fazer o auto-exame, a mulher depara-se com uma situaÃÃo, na qual, de forma solitÃria, pode encontrar algo que ela considera ser maligno. Esta expectativa da mulher à fruto das prÃticas discursivas dominantes sobre o auto-exame e sobre o cÃncer de mama. ConcluÃmos, ainda, existir conhecimento suficiente sobre a etiologia do cÃncer de mama capaz de orientar aÃÃes no sentido da prevenÃÃo primÃria desta patologia, se compreendermos ser o adoecimento um processo complexo a envolver aspectos fÃsicos, psicolÃgicos, sociais e ambientais.<br>The breast cancer is a pathology that has crescent incidence, in the countries of higher degree of development like in the countries in development. There are evidences that its causes seem to have relation to modern life style, of difficult control. In this context, the efforts are direct to secondary prevention, in order to make an early diagnosis of tumors, trying to avoid a great number of mutilations and ensure higher survival and a better quality of life for women with this type of neoplasy. Among of the methods of precocious detection that had been recommended by Cancer National Institute, until the launch of Consensus to the Control of Breast Cancer, in April 2004, the breast self-examinations had prominence of place, beside medical exam and mammography. However, researches show the women are difficult of breast self- examination adhesion, although this is a painless, fast and free technique. The aim of this study was the comprehension of the psicossociais aspects involved in breast self-examination, in order to offer subsidy to prevention practices in breast of cancer. To realization this study, we based on the Qualitative Epistemology, Gonzalez Rey (2002). It is based on Dialectic Method and shows that the quality and quantity of facts are inseparable and interpedent. In this direction, our study pondered either the structure reality through the numbers as the qualitatives aspects. We accomplished a transversal study, of population base, with 561 women in the Sobral city, state of CearÃ, Brazil. 13 women were interviewed. They were considered key â informers for survey. It was made still a group meeting with women who had the breast cancer. The process of the construction of information allowed the identification of six themes: 1. knowledge and frequency of breast self-examination and variable correlated; 2. Imputed meaning and produced sense about breast self-examination; 3. Motivation of the practice breast self-examination; 4. Resistance to practice of the breast self-examination; 5. Talks and insight sense in the education actions; 6. Re-think the preventive practices in breast cancer. Based on the process of information construction, we understand the cancer social representation, which influences the acceptation of breast self-examination. The breast self-examination is associated with breast cancer and this fact increases the fear of women. We conclude that the breast self-examination isnât a simple technique to make. It needs support to find any alteration in breast. We also conclude that there is sufficient knowledge to make primary prevention in breast cancer. It is necessary to understand that the illness process is complex and involves subjective, physics, social and environmental aspects.

Without assuming prior legal knowledge, books in the Directions series introduce and guide readers through key points of law and legal debate. Questions, discussion points, and thinking points help readers to engage fully with each subject and check their understanding as they progress and knowledge can be tested by self-test questions and exam questions at the chapter end. This chapter focuses on the European Convention on Human Rights, which the UK signed in 1950, and on its impact in the UK prior to the Human Rights Act coming into force in October 2000. The UK’s signing of the Convention entailed the country’s acceptance of the obligation to ‘secure for everyone within [its] jurisdiction the rights and freedoms in Section 1 of this Convention’. The Convention is not applied directly by the UK courts. The Convention remains part of international law, which is not directly enforceable in UK courts. The chapter also considers the development of fundamental common law rights which have developed in parallel to the Convention. There is a section on ‘Brexit’ and its impact on the protection of human rights in the UK.

"women services, preventive services and mental health services, than any other type of center" (Weisman et al., 1995 p. 108). They offered programs including menopause counseling, hormone replacement therapy and diagnosis and treatment of menstrual problems. Repro-ductive health centers provided for more gynecological exams, preg-nancy tests and contraceptive services. Compared to primary centers, reproductive health centers provided less general exams and offered fewer preventive services like blood pressure monitoring and immu-nizations. Along with the emergence of hospital sponsored programs of the 1980's came the creation of breast centers. Some diagnostic type breast centers offered only screenings and imaging services while others were comprehensive centers providing for screening along with diagnosis and treatment. Breast centers were found to offer more breast care services than other types of women's centers but again the range of services offered from one center to another was vastly differ-ent; 95% of breast centers offered diagnostic mammography, and 93% also provided self-breast exam instruction. Also 71% provided for biopsies and ultrasound and 37% provided for breast cancer treatment. Other women centers were found to be a mix of models; some education, some referral services, some independent support groups and some that also provided minimal clinical services. Many offered inpatient units for obstetrics and gynecology and outpatient services for breast screening. Education and information services were found to be an important component of the women's centers offerings. Many provided support groups as well as community agency referrals. Childbirth education classes, baby and you classes and exercise and diet classes usually were provided for an extra fee. Implications to Marketing The survey found many hospitals marketed their services to women because they perceived them as major consumers of health care and as referral sources for their families' health. Hence, a primary purpose was to increase hospital use and, therefore, revenue. Hospitals were and still are being innovative in their use of space. These hospital owned women's centers tended to be considerably market-oriented. They offered the opportunity to provide both a therapeutic milieu tailored to women and access to the resources of the larger institution. They appear to be a viable option for women and for the hospital." In Family Systems/Family Therapy. Routledge, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203725184-4.

ABSTRACT Background: Breast Cancer can be disturbed for health and psychologically. Breast cancer has reached the second deadly disease. Causative factors include age, marital status, use of hormonal contraception, history of breastfeeding, family history, family support, self-acceptance, stress levels and knowledge of breast self-exam. This study aimed to investigate the factors predisposing and reinforcing the incidence of breast cancer in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. Subject and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. A total of 216 samples by using accidental sampling were selected for this study. The dependent variable was incidence of breast cancer. The independent variables were education, marital status, use of hormonal contraception, history of breastfeeding, family history, family support, self-acceptance, stress levels and knowledge of breast self-exam. The data were collected by questionnaire via google form. Data analysis used Chi Square test. Results: The significant risk factors of breast cancer were education, marital status, hormonal contraception, history of breastfeeding, stress conditions, and self-acceptance. family history and family support, and breast self-exam knowledge were insignificantly associate with the risk of breast cancer. Conclusion: The significant risk factors of breast cancer are education, marital status, hormonal contraception, history of breastfeeding, stress conditions, and self-acceptance. Family history and family support, and breast self-exam knowledge are insignificantly associate with the risk of breast cancer. Keywords: Breast cancer, predisposing, reinforcing.

Abstract:
Most engineering educators face complex, dynamic, pedagogical/cultural issues while teaching students. These issues include student motivation for the subject and self-direction, retention of information, integration of knowledge and adaptive expertise, and performance in projects and evaluations. They can be addressed by introducing modern learning strategies, expanding both the disciplinary breadth and the range of problems and problem-solving techniques to which engineering students are exposed, incorporating research experiences in the classroom, and effectively integrating the powerful software tools used in engineering practice. However, class time is limited and is usually overfilled with theory and fundamentals. This paper describes finite element analysis (FEA) computer-based instruction, which requires a limited amount of class time, that is currently providing an ideal context for learning and building student confidence. It consists of an integrated website with links to FEA software tutorials, FEA study cases and research projects, supplemental lecture notes, homework assignments and solutions, and sample exams and exam solutions. The FEA software tutorials include instruction on Algor and Visual Nastran. Furthermore, a cross-linked taxonomy of the course content and computer-based instruction is presented along with delivery examples.
