Migration of metallic acupuncture threads from the breast to the right ventricle: a case report
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2024RC1280
ABSTRACT This case report discusses the migration of a foreign body from the breast to the mediastinum, which is rarely reported, and highlights complications associated with Okibari acupuncture. This technique involves the insertion of metal fragments into the skin. A 53-year-old woman underwent mammography showing acupuncture-related metallic fragments in the breast. Cardiac evaluation revealed the presence of metallic fragments in the right ventricle and myocardium. Despite the fragments‘ location in the mediastinum, the patient remained asymptomatic, leading us to take […]

FAST breast magnetic resonance imaging: a new approach for breast cancer screening?
DOI: 10.31744/einstein_journal/2022AO0073
ABSTRACT Objective To develop an abbreviated breast magnetic resonance imaging protocol (FAST) and to compare it with the complete protocol (FULL) to determine its diagnostic accuracy for detecting malignant or suspicious lesions (BI-RADS 4, 5 and 6) and the time required for image interpretation using BI-RADS categorization. Methods Retrospective study with 100 consecutive women who underwent breast magnetic resonance imaging between January and February 2014. All patients were submitted to a complete breast magnetic resonance imaging protocol, which was then […]

Temperatura de referência das mamas: proposta de uma equação
DOI: 10.1590/S1679-45082015AO3392
RESUMO Objetivo Desenvolver uma equação de estimativa da temperatura de referência das mamas, de acordo com a variação das temperaturas ambiente e central. Métodos Foram avaliadas quatro mulheres assintomáticas durante três ciclos menstruais consecutivos. Mensuraram-se, por termografia, as temperaturas das mamas e ocular, como referência indireta das temperaturas central e ambiente. Para análise do comportamento térmico durante o ciclo as temperaturas das mamas, foram normalizadas com a temperatura central e ambiente por meio de uma equação matemática. Resultados Foram realizadas […]
