OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The molecular basis of increased risk of triple negative breast cancer in non-Hispanic Black women represents a critical knowledge gap that this research is designed to address; successful completion of this work could lead to better prevention, earlier stage diagnoses, and possible discovery of novel therapeutic strategies for th
Abstract Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare destructive lung disease characterized by multiple thin-walled pulmonary cysts.The currently proposed diagnostic algorithm emphasizes the characteristic cystic appearance on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) so uncommon HRCT appearances present challenges to establishing the proper LAM diag
Recently, metal on metal hip prostheses have been revived following excellent clinical results.However, the risk of wear diseases has not been removed yet.Fluid film formation is necessary for long term reliability of a total hip prosthesis because solid BAKING CUPS LARGE contact of the prosthesis induces serious wear.However, the fluid film can be
The assimilation of data from Earth observation satellites into numerical models is considered to be the path forward to estimate snow cover distribution in mountain catchments, providing accurate information on the mountainous snow water equivalent (SWE).The land surface temperature (LST) can be observed from space, but its potential to improve SW
