Resumo: Objetivo: Determinar a associação entre reconstrução mamária imediata após mastectomia radical com a recuperação da amplitude de movimento (ADM) do ombro. Sujeitos e Métodos: Estudo prospectivo do qual participaram 89 mulheres submetidas à mastectomia radical modificada (MRM), 42 destas com reconstrução mamária imediata (MRM+RI). Foram realizadas avaliações pósoperatórias semanais da amplitude de movimento do ombro no transcurso da fisioterapia (4 semanas). Os resultados da amplitude de abdução e flexão do ombro, em graus, do membro superior ipsilateral à cirurgia foram comparados nos grupos em função das variáveis independentes e de controle. Foi aplicado modelo de regressão logística para comparação das características clínicas e epidemiológicas das mulheres nos dois grupos. Foram então calculados médias e desvios-padrão dos valores de flexão e abdução do ombro em função das características clínicas e epidemiológicas. As médias destes valores foram comparadas em modelo multivariado de análise de co-variância. Foram produzidos gráficos de interação levando em consideração o grupo (com ou sem reconstrução) e os valores médios da variação em graus de flexão e abdução nas quatro avaliações. Foi então realizada análise multivariada de variância para medidas repetidas para avaliação dos efeitos do grupo (com ou sem reconstrução) e do tempo na recuperação da ADM de abdução e flexão. Resultados: A maior parte (78%) das reconstruções foi realizada com a técnica de transposição do músculo grande dorsal com inserção de prótese siliconada. A realização de reconstrução mamária imediata não esteve relacionada com maior déficit de flexão ou abdução em qualquer dos momentos estudados. Tabagismo e presença um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares apresentaram maiores déficits de flexão ao final da série de avaliações (p=0,01, p=0,03, respectivamente). Mulheres com um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares apresentaram maior déficit de abdução no final da seqüência de avaliações (p=0,03). Houve relação significativamente positiva entre o tempo de pós-operatório e a recuperação da ADM de abdução (p<0,01) e flexão (p<0,01). Mulheres submetidas ou não à reconstrução imediata não diferiram em relação ao tempo e à recuperação da abdução (p=0,85) e flexão (p=0,74). Conclusões: A reconstrução mamária imediata não esteve relacionada com o tempo e com a recuperação da ADM de flexão ou abdução do ombro. Tabagismo e presença de um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares estiveram negativamente relacionados com o processo de recuperação da flexão ou da abdução do ombro ipsilateral à cirurgia.
Abstract: Objective: To assess the implications of immediate breast reconstruction following radical mastectomy on shoulder range of motion (ROM). Subjects and methods: This was a prospective study on 89 women that underwent modified radical mastectomy (RM), 42 of whom with immediate breast reconstruction (RM+IBR). Postoperative weekly assessments of shoulder ROM were performed for 4 weeks. Flexion and abduction ranges of motion of the shoulder ipsilateral to the affected breast were compared between the study groups. A multivariate logistic regression model was fit to compare the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the women between the study groups. A multivariate co-variance model was produced to evaluate whether the flexion and abduction capacities were related to the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the women. Interaction graphics were produced in order to graphically assess whether the recovery of the flexion and abduction capacities was different between the study groups. Finally, a multivariate analysis of variance for repeated measurements was performed in order to assess the group (with or without IBR) and time effects on the recovery of shoulder ROM. Results: Most (78%) of the reconstructive procedures were performed according to the Latissimus Dorsi Flap technique with silicone-gel implant. IBR was not related to the deficit in flexion or abduction of the shoulder at any of the study weekly assessments. Smoking behavior and presence of painful axillary cords were related to a higher deficit in shoulder abduction and flexion (P<0.01). IBR was not related to the time and intensity of the recovery of shoulder abduction (p=0.85) and flexion (p=0.74). Conclusions: IBR was not related to the flexion or abduction capacity of the shoulder. Smoking and the presence of painful axillary cords were negatively associated with the recovery of shoulder ROM after mastectomy.

Повний текст джерелаINTRODUCTION: The breast cancer treatment is always linked with the morbidity of the upper limb with complications that will have an enormous impact in the quality of life of the patients submitted to breast cancer treatment. Objective : the objective of this study was to develop a physiotherapy protocol in order to prevent morbidities after breast cancer treatment METHODS: This study evaluated 132 patients submitted to physiotherapy sessions in two different moments: 1 st day post surgery and at the 10-15 th day . Follow-ups were made on months 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and after a year. RESULTS: The earlier group showed a faster recovery of arm range of motion and had less arm morbidity. CONCLUSÃO: O RESULTS: G1 showed a faster flexion and abduction ROM recovery and had less morbidity as compared to the other group. The arm circumferences in the early intervention group had lower values as compared to the late intervention group. CONCLUSION: The physiotherapy protocol used in the study showed its efficacy. The upper arm ROM was recovered and both groups had less arm morbidity.

Resumo: Objetivo: Avaliar prospectivamente a recuperação da amplitude de movimento do ombro (ADM), a frequência das complicações pós-operatórias e a qualidade de vida (QV) de mulheres mastectomizadas(M) submetidas ou não à reconstrução mamária imediata (RI). Sujeitos e métodos: Foram incluídas mulheres operadas no Hospital da Mulher Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti (CAISM/UNICAMP) entre setembro de 2007 a junho de 2009. A parte destinada à avaliação da ADM e das complicações, foi formada de 104 mulheres mastectomizadas, 47 delas com reconstrução por meio do músculo grande dorsal (M+RI). A ADM foi avaliada através de goniometria. As complicações (aderência tecidual, deiscência, web síndrome e dor) foram avaliadas por inspeção, palpação e Escala Análoga Visual. As avaliações foram realizadas na internação, antes da cirurgia, e repetidas após 1,3,6 e 12 meses. A estatística foi realizada através do programa R, com níveis de significância de 5%. Análise de covariância (ANCOVA) foi utilizada para a comparação dos valores médios das ADMs do ombro (em graus, dicotomizada em flexão e abdução) entre os grupos (M+RI ou M). Análise de variância multivariada (MANOVA), para medidas repetidas, foi utilizada para a avaliação da recuperação da ADM ao longo do pós-operatório, em até 12 meses. Testes qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher foram utilizados para avaliar a frequência das complicações. Na parte do estudo destinada à QV, foram selecionadas 76 mulheres mastectomizadas (41 delas submetidas a qualquer tipo de reconstrução mamária imediata), que responderam ao questionário WHOQOL-100 na internação e após 1 e 6 meses de cirurgia. A análise foi realizada conforme roteiro da OMS, escrito em sintaxe para o programa estatístico SPSS. Para análise comparativa entre grupos foram utilizados os testes t de student, exato de Fisher, qui-quadrado e Mann-Whitney quando os dados eram paramétricos. Para análise de medidas repetidas (ao longo do tempo) foi utilizado ANOVA e em caso de dados não paramétricos, ANOVA de Friedman. Resultados: Realizar reconstrução com GD não esteve relacionado com restrição nas ADMs de flexão (p=0,24) ou abdução (p=0,08). Após 12 meses, mulheres reconstruídas apresentam melhores ADMs de flexão (169º no grupo M+RI versus 158º no grupo M; p<0,.01) e abdução (172º no grupo M+RI versus 160º no grupo M; p=0,01). Ao longo do tempo, ambos os grupos obtiveram melhora da ADM de forma significativa (p<0,01). Deiscência e aderência foram significativamente menos frequentes no grupo M+RI (51,8% vs 22,2%; p=0,009; 25,0% versus 5,0%; p=0,032, respectivamente). Com relação à QV, o grupo reconstruído apresentou melhor pontuação no domínio psicológico (p=0,0401); em ambos os grupos houve redução significativa do nível de independência no primeiro mês pós-operatório (p=0,0004), com recuperação significativa após 6 meses (p=0,0218). Conclusões: RI pelo GD não restringe a recuperação da ADM e está associado com menor frequência de aderência e deiscência cicatricial. Mulheres reconstruídas são mais favorecidas nos aspectos psicológicos da QV
Abstract: Objective: To prospectively evaluate the recovery of shoulder range of motion (ROM), the frequency of postoperative complications and quality of life (QOL) of women who underwent mastectomy (M) or not immediate breast reconstruction (IR). Subjects and Methods: We included women operated in the Women's Hospital Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti (CAISM / UNICAMP) between September 2007 and June 2009. The part of the study devoted to the assessment of ADM and complications, was formed of 104 women who underwent mastectomy, 47 of them with reconstruction by latissimus dorsi muscle (M + IR). ADM was assessed by goniometry. Complications (tissue adherence, dehiscence, web syndrome and pain) were assessed by inspection, palpation and Visual Analogue Scale. Evaluations were performed on admission, before surgery, and again after 1,3,6 and 12 months. Statistical analysis was performed using the R program, with significance levels of 5%. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to compare mean values of shoulder ROM (in degrees dichotomized into flexion and abduction) between the groups (M+RI or M). Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) for repeated measures was used to assess the recovery of ROM during the postoperative period, within 12 months. Chi-square and Fisher's exact test were used to evaluate the frequency of complications. In the part of the study aimed at evaluating QOL, we selected 76 women who underwent mastectomy (41 of them underwent any kind of immediate breast reconstruction), who responded to the questionnaire WHOQOL-100 on admission and after 1 and 6 months after surgery. The analysis was performed according to the WHO script, written in the syntax for SPSS. For comparison between groups we used the Student t test, Fisher exact test, chi-square and Mann-Whitney. For analysis of repeated measures (over time) ANOVA was used and in case of non-parametric data, Friedman ANOVA. Results: Performing reconstruction with GD was not related to restriction on flexion (p = 0.24) or abduction (p = 0.08). After 12 months, women who underwent reconstruction showed better flexion (169 in group M + RI versus 158 in group M, p <0.01) and abduction (172 in group M + RI versus 160 ° in group M, p = 0.01). Over time, both groups showed significant improvement of shoulder ROM (p <0.01). Dehiscence and adherence were significantly less frequent in the group M + RI (51.8% vs 22.2%, p = 0.009, 25.0% versus 5.0%, p = 0.032, respectively). Regarding QOL, the reconstructed group showed better scores in the psychological domain (p = 0.0401); in both groups there has been a significant reduction in the level of independence in the first month postoperatively (p = 0.0004), with significant recovery after 6 months (p = 0.0218). Conclusions: IR with LDF does not restrict the recovery of ROM and is associated with a lower frequency of adhesion and scar dehiscence. Women who undergo IR are favored on the psychological aspects of QOL

Повний текст джерелаThis understudy work deals with the concept of freedom in Bertolt Brecht's and Aimé Césaire's theatres. The first part looks into the discourses of conflictual centres. It collects the discursive registers that structure and fix the antagonisms in social and ideological positions. This approach tends to show the duality underlying the works of the two playwrights. The linguistic techniques subscribe for an aesthetic leading to throw light on the protagonists' situations. The second part studies the characters. The first chapter takes an interest in the hero and in his social dimension and the second part deals with the links existing between of heroism in brecht's work lies in tight relation with the people's conditions of living. The hero's action dissolves in the masses in order to create a collective heroism. In Césaire's work, the hero is inspired by his historical reality and mobilizes his people to action in order to found the present again. In each of these two writers, the dominating power is characterizedby its violence and a tendency to hegemony. The Brecht people pose as dynamic actor to a real social and ideological upheaval. In Césaire's work, the people stand at the crossroads and have gradually access to the historical approach of their condition. The third part develops spatial and temporal configurations. It pays particular attention to show the representation of the space and the time in the antagonisms as well as their aesthetic dimension in the theatrical level into a global process leading to freedom. The space and the time participate in a structuration of a prison atmosphere. The social times and spaces show the different aspects of conflictual relations. The incompatibility between the present and the aspirations to freedom motivate the quest of a true control of their destiny by the characters

Повний текст джерелаThe sea level rise induced by global warming is not uniform along the coastlines due to regional variability of sea level and especially due to vertical land motion which may represents a dominant factor. Therefore, the sea level evolution must be known relative to the land to provide adapted knowledges towards a most efficient coastal management. Information about relative sea level are currently provided directly by tide gauges which measured simultaneously sea level and vertical land variations. However, two important issues are associated with the use of tide gauges. First, supplemental information provided by permanent GPS stations is required to separate vertical land motion from ocean climate signals in tide gauge records, and hence to understand the causes of future coastal sea level changes and their relative importance. Second, vertical land motion can show local spatial patterns, which limits the spatial validity of the point-wise information provide by tide gauges. Using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and high-precision GPS data, the above-mentioned limitations were addressed in the case study of Brest (France). This study shows that, over the past decades, Brest and its surroundings are overall stable except for the embankment areas of the commercial and military harbours. The GPS-calibrated InSAR results were then further combined with radar altimetry data to obtain relative sea level trends along the Brest coastline with an unprecedented high-spatial resolution. The approach developed in this thesis is applicable beyond the case study of Brest, especially in coastal areas where tide gauge data are not available

Повний текст джерелаStudying the grotesque in the theatre of the young B. Brecht provides the opportunity to consider one aspect that the former studies has left aside privileging the comparison with the epic and didactic theatre. Since the eighteenth century, the grotesque category has been associated with theatre and was immediately rejected by the founders of the national theatre. It resurrects at the beginning of the twentieth century and becomes an expression of a revolt against a normative and rigid artistic system. Brecht is involved in this movement, but also imprints his own mark on it. He means the grotesque as a form of materialism inherited from Wedekind, with minor arts and popular culture. He uses the grotesque against the traditional drama and challenges its values. This debate with the tradition is not only done through the development of a teeming style that radically questions the text-based theatre. It is also the result of the major role played by the human body, associated with law comedy and theatricality as opposed to heroism, pathos and tragedy. The formal and conceptual multiplicity of the texts under study, most of them unpublished, shows that during these years an experimental drama was emerging

Повний текст джерелаReferring to the reasons for the conclusion of a contract, contractual motives are classically viewed in a negative way in French law : they are indifferent in principle, except in matters of control of the legality of the act, for which it is traditionally taught that motives of the parties are admitted without limitation. The essential aspect of motives in the contractual phenomenon does not fit well with this rejection of principle. A comparative analysis of the concrete solutions adopted in French, English and German laws not only makes it possible to challenge the principle of indifference of motives but, in addition, reveals substantial lines of convergence in the treatment of the question of contractual motives. Indeed, French, English and German laws meet, both in terms of legal policy at the basis of taking motives into account, and of the regime of this consideration. Also, the issue of motives is, first, inevitable with regard to the unitary requirement of a justification of engagement, which consists of a minimum interest in an onerous contract. Technically, the integration of a counterparty is thus necessary, and the laws studied include institutions making it possible to ensure the sufficiency of the interest that it represents. Beyond this necessary integration of a minimal motive, every law studied makes the fate of the contract dependent on the possibility of satisfying the utility which it pursues, as defined by all the motives tacitly or expressly integrated into it. The impossibility of motives at the formation of the contract or its execution is thus likely to lead to its contestation, provided that it does not constitute a risk to be supported by the one whose expectations are disappointed. The study of contractual motives in French, English and German comparative law leads to overcoming the traditional dogmatic oppositions - in particular centered on debates around the notion of cause - and offers a whole new perspective on the rules adopted in national law

Повний текст джерелаThe drama is one of the most beautiful realizations of the ancient dream of perpetual peace found in the works of poets and philosophes from Ovid to Kant, symbolized by Hector's efforts to close the gates of war forever. This work is a bitter attack on the poets who glorify war, personified by Demokos, whose ideology it denounces like that of The Last days of mankind by Karl Kraus. The antagonism between the illusions of Hector and the pessimism of Cassandra is also to be found in the drama of Karl Kraus. The drama of Giraudoux attacks a long tradition of the glorification of honor in the heroic death, evident since antiquity and exemplified in works from Homer to Shakespeare and Schopenhauer. There are many allusions to Briand and Poincaré. Hector seems to be an incarnation of Briand. Hector seems to be afraid of Poincaré's demands for reparation. He therefore tries to deny every damage, falsely denying that Helen ever committed adultery. Therefore no reason for a war of revenge exists after the restitution. But nemesis balks the efforts of the men of good will: war breaks out. The burlesque of adultery as a reason for a war lasting for ten years is at the same time a bitter attack of a vast literature which glorified it

Thesis, université Paris-Saclay, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020UPASS116.
Повний текст джерелаIncreasing evidence support the idea that proteins involved in RNA metabolism such as RNA binding proteins (RBPs) and RNA helicases are directly implicated in the DNA damage response (DDR). This activity is generally achieved through their interaction with DNA repair factors.BRCA2 is a tumor suppressor protein that plays an important role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by homologous recombination (HR) as well as protecting stalled replication forks from unscheduled degradation; therefore, it is essential to maintain genome integrity. Interestingly, BRCA2 deficient cells accumulate DNA-RNA hybrids or R-loops, a known source of DNA damage and genome instability, providing evidence for its role in either R-loop prevention or processing. However, the specific role of BRCA2 on these structures remains poorly understood.A mass spectrometry screen to identify partners of BRCA2 performed in our laboratory revealed an enrichment of proteins involved in RNA metabolism such as RNA helicases. These findings led us to investigate whether BRCA2 could cooperate with these candidate interacting RNA helicases in processing DNA-RNA structures. First, we confirmed the interaction of BRCA2 and the DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX5, which we found is enhanced in cells exposed to -irradiation. Then, we narrowed down the interaction to the first 250 aa of BRCA2 (BRCA2T1) and found that it is direct using purified proteins. In collaboration with A. Aguilera lab (Cabimer, SP), we could show that depletion of DDX5 leads to a genome-wide accumulation of DNA-RNA hybrids that is particularly enriched at DNA damage sites. DDX5 associates with DNA-RNA hybrids that form in the vicinity of DSBs. Interestingly, we found that BRCA2 is important for the retention of DDX5 at laser irradiation-induced DNA damage. Notably, in vitro R-loop unwinding assays using purified DDX5 and BRCA2 proteins revealed that BRCA2 stimulates the R-loop helicase activity of DDX5.A breast cancer variant of unknown clinical significance (VUS) located in BRCA2T1 (T207A) reduced the interaction between BRCA2 and DDX5 and led to the accumulation of DNA-RNA hybrids. Cells stably expressing BRCA2-T207A also showed a decreased association of DDX5 with DNA-RNA hybrids, especially upon irradiation. Notably, monitoring RAD51 foci to evaluate HR-mediated DSBs repair efficiency in either DDX5-depleted cells or in BRCA2-T207A cells resulted in a delayed kinetics of appearance of RAD51 foci upon irradiation suggesting an active role of BRCA2-DDX5 interaction in ensuring timely HR repair. In agreement with this, overexpression of the RNAseH1 ribonuclease, that specifically degrades the RNA moiety in DNA-RNA structures, partially restored RAD51 kinetics phenotype of BRCA2-T207A cells. Moreover, cells bearing BRCA2-T207A variant also showed a reduced number of RPA foci compared to BRCA2 WT expressing cells, a step that precedes RAD51 loading at DSBs.Taken together, our results are consistent with DNA-RNA hybrids being an impediment for the repair of DSBs by HR and reveal BRCA2 and DDX5 as active players in their removal

Повний текст джерелаStudies about female characters in Stendhal’s and Mérimée’s works are in no doubt numerous. However, the aim of our work is to highlight the relationship between these authors and the theories that prevailed from the eighteenth century onwards. We refer in particular to both the four temperaments theory and the climate the theory and their influence on the creation of female characters, protagonists in the stories we chose for our corpus: the Chroniques italiennes of Stendhal and the shorts stories La Vénus d’Ille, Colomba and Carmen of Mérimée. Our purpose is to unveil a new aspect of the female problematic by analysing Southern Europe woman human type observed from the perspective of the influence of the above-mentioned theories. We also linked the form chosen by the two writers (short story, little novel) with the themes they address and the effect they want to produce on the reader. To which extent is the short story type contributing to the effect of violence supposed to be produced by the depiction of the South? Short stories serve the efficiency of a purpose at the same time aesthetic, ethnological and ethical. This study consists of three parts. First of all, we examine the the evolution of both four temperaments theory and climate theory, as well as the eighteenth, beginning of the nineteenth century historical and cultural background which also influences Stendhal and Mérimée literary creation. Secondly, we reflect upon Stendhal’s and Mérimée’s poetics in relation to short stories. Finally, we analyse the female characters in relation to the preliminary studies previously mentioned
Gli studi sui personaggi femminili di Stendhal e Mérimée sono sicuramenti numerosi. Ciò nonostante, il nostro lavoro prevede un nuovo approccio che ha come obiettivo di mettere in evidenza l’influenza che le correnti di pensiero, che predominano a partire dal diciottesimo secolo, hanno sulla produzione letterario di Stendhal e Mérimée. In particolare, ci riferiamo alla teoria dei quattro temperamenti e alla teoria dei climi rispetto alla creazione dei personaggi femminili, protagonisti delle storie che costituiscono il corpus delle Cronache italiane e delle novelle di Mérimée, ossia La Venere d’Ille, Colomba et Carmen. Il nostro scopo è quello di mettere in luce un nuovo aspetto della problematica femminile, analizzando il tipo umano della donna meridionale studiato sotto la prospettiva delle teorie sopra menzionate. Abbiamo anche messo in relazione la forma letteraria adottata dai due scrittori (la novella, il piccolo romanzo) con l’argomento che trattano e l’effetto che vogliono produrre sul lettore. Concretamente, in che modo la forma breve che scelgono contribuisce all’effetto di violenza che la rappresentazione del Sud è presupposta produrre? La novella serve a rendere efficace un pensiero estetico, etnologico et etico. Lo studio si divide in tre parti. In un primo momento, ci interessiamo all’evoluzione della teoria dei temperamenti e alla teoria dei climi, in seguito, al contesto storico-culturale del periodo a cavallo tra diciottesimo e diciannovesimo secolo che influenza anche la creazione letteraria di Stendhal et Mérimée. In un secondo momento, ci occupiamo della poetica di Stendhal et Mérimée rispetto alla novella. Infine, analizziamo i personaggi femminili in rapporto agli studi preliminari effettuati nelle parti precedenti della nostra tesi

Breast cancer is one of the top ten cause of death among women in the world. Breast density is positively correlated with breast cancer. In recent years, Magnetic Resonance Imaging has gradually taken the place of traditional X-ray and ultrasound detection as a tool for breast cancer screening. Using the MR image not only has no radiation problems, but also has excellent image resolution. Therefore, we developed a method for classifying breast tissue using IVIM MR images. MR images such as T1, T2, and PD were used as inputs for glandular detection. In order to closely examine the location of the glandular, we used constrained energy minimization (CEM) method to detect glandular and fat and used them as correct positions. After getting the positions of glandular and fat, we use them to map on the IVIM MR images, and then analyzing the five parameters (D, D*, ADC, PF, and slope). Parameters is including Apparent Diffusion Coefficient, different b values weighted on different signal attenuation, perfusion-related diffusion and perfusion fraction. The accumulation of parameter statistics will define the critical values of glandular and fat. Finally, when we only input MR IVIM MR images, breast tissues can be classified without using T1, T2 or PD images.

Breast cancer is an important cause of death and disease for women in the world. It is required for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer research. In recent years, MRI is gradually replacing the traditional X-ray photography and ultrasound to detect breast cancer as an inspection tool. MRI is not only no radiation problem but also more excellent on the image resolution and contrast. However, when MRI use on breast examination, it must be injected the contrast agent. The contrast agent is toxicity, so some patients may have an allergy to contrast agents. Therefore, thesis presents breast tissue analysis of IVIM-MRI in recent evolvement. In this research, many algorithms will be used. Automatic target generation process (ATGP) and spectral angle mapper (SAM) with kernel-constrained energy minimization (K-CEM) applied to detect lesions range for quantitative analysis. The research use the decision tree to apply on the entire image for IVIM parameters to classify respectively. The main purpose of the suspicious lesion using histogram analysis identify preferred parameters as the main basis. As a result, not only can improve the detection accuracy of lesion location, but also observe whether there are trends in the spread of experimental results. In addition, the histogram analysis has also been applied to distinguish various types of lesions.

In this thesis we have used a contrast enhancement method by using adaptive inverse hyperbolic tangent (AIHT) algorithm in the intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).The AIHT technology for accomplishing contrast enhancement have been developed an automatic tumor detection method. The AIHT algorithm is capable of enhancing the global contrast of the original image adaptively while making the image features stand out simultaneously. Hence, the AIHT algorithm is used in IVIM-MRI which not only no need to use contrast agents that lead allergic reactions happen when breast cancer patients are sensitive to a specific substance but also makes the tumor stand out more clearly from breast. This study proposes an automatic target generation process (ATGP) and spectral angle mapper (SAM) with kernel-constrained energy minimization (K-CEM) for target detection. Two types of kernel functions were used for the experiment and distinguish between Gaussian function and polynomial function in breast lesion detection was also discuss in this study. The objective of this thesis is reduce of image noise, makes the tumor features stand out more clearly and find a suitable kernel function that can be correctly detected.

Abstract Background Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among women in Taiwan. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a sensitive imaging technique to assess breast cancer but its effectiveness still remains to be improved. Objectives Our study aim was to assess MRI diagnostic accuracy for breast lesions by comparing quantitative parameters derived from 1) diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), 2) diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI), 3) intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) and 4) dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and to explore an optimal model for breast tumor differentiation. Methods This was a prospective study performed on patients with suspicious breast lesions found on breast sonography prior to biopsy. All MR experiments were conducted on a 3-T MRI scanner. Quantitative parameters from DWI (apparent diffusion coefficient, ADC; fractional anisotropy, FA), DKI (mean diffusivity, D; mean kurtosis, K), IVIM (pseudo-diffusion coefficient, D*; perfusion fraction, f) and DCE-MRI (Ktrans, kep, ve and vp) were derived and compared between malignant and benign lesions. These parameters in benign and malignant lesions were compared by GEE. (Generalized estimating equations). Area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) analysis was used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy among parameters. Results and Discussion Total 61 suspicious breast lesions from 57 patients were evaluated in this prospective study. The quantitative parameters, including kep and ve from DCE-MRI, ADC, D, DSTD, DMINIMUM, K, KSTD and KMINIMUM from DKI between benign and malignant lesions were significantly different (p<0.05). DMINIMUM derived from DKI demonstrated the largest AUC (0.93) and had the highest specificity (95.45%). The Ktrans from DCE-MRI and those parameters derived from IVIM were shown to be not significantly different between benign and malignant lesions. Conclusion In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of differentiating malignant breast tumors from benign ones by using a DKI-IVIM approach. The quantitative parameters derived from DKI and IVIM have been proved to be more accurate than perfusion parameters derived from DCE-MRI and conventional ADC. Key Words: MRI, breast tumors, breast cancer, DCE, DKI, IVIM, diffusion, kurtosis, intravoxel incoherent motion

This study is about how to build a simple and economical system to detect breath in a real time fashion using a normal webcam or a Microsoft Kinect. By using the optical flow method, a novel method is proposed to detect the peak of the inspiratory phase of a breath from images so as to define a proper timing for trigging X-ray shooting. The issue of using images for breath detection is that the motion of features on the chest is very small when a breath occurs. Therefore, the Lucas- Kanade algorithm, which is originally proposed to detect heartbeat, is considered to track possible small motions on the chest. Image processing techniques such as the corner detection algorithm are developed to obtained useful features for the Lucas- Kanade algorithm. From the experimental conducts, with the proposed approach, the detection of the inspiratory-expiratory phase is significant enough. In other words, the breath motion can easily be observed. Different environments (lighting and dim lighting) and different distances are also tested in our implementation. It can be found that the features are quite robust and stable. For X-ray shooting, it is required to predict the deepest inhaling. In our experiments, the predictive error of the peak time is about 0.366 second, which roughly accounts for 7.32% of the averaging breath cycle. In fact, in our study, two methods (averaging of many previous cycles of breath and one previous cycle of breath) are used to predict the peak time of inhaling. For the short time and normal breath, the averaging method is very efficient to reduce the errors between predicted and actual peak time. However, this method may result in worse prediction if the time considered is long because the amplitudes and cycles of breath may vary over time. From our study, it can be concluded that the proposed approach can be effectively used to define a proper timing for trigging X-ray shooting.

This work is to build a monitoring system for rehabilitation of Frailty Syndrome with the use of Kinect. There are two parts in the monitoring system developed: motion monitoring and breath rate monitoring. For motion monitoring, a depth calibration process is proposed to calibrate the distortion effects on depth readings caused by the depress angle of Kinect. With the calibration process, the detected angle of monitored joints can have a much higher accuracy than that of the original readings. In addition, re-locating processes are proposed to resolve the unstable situations of the skeleton detection from the Kinect system when occlusion occurs. When unstable skeleton points occur, according to biological features of unstable joints, the skin color detection, contour detection, random circle detection (RCD), and defect points detection are employed to locate possible correct positions of the joints. From our experiments, it can be found that with the proposed motion monitoring system, the motion detected is stably and reliably. For breath monitoring, a non-contact method of detecting the breath rate of patient during rehabilitation is considered. In the proposed method employed, the movement of chest caused by breath is tracked through the images obtained. Useful features in images are defined by Harris corner detector in the ROI. The Lucas-Kanade algorithm is applied for tracking tiny movements of those features. However, the tracking signal is a mixing signal including breath, motion, and noise. In order to acquire the breath signal, the tracking signal is filtered by a band-pass filter of an interval from 0.167 HZ to 0.417 HZ. From our experiments, the breath signal is successfully obtained. In conclusion, by employing the proposed system, it can help doctors to monitor the motions and breath rates of patients reliably and stably.

Among all the indicators of health state in humans, heart rate and breath rate are two of the most significant indicators. Conventional contact-type measurement instruments may lead to subjects suffering from the risk of skin irritation and allergic contact reactions. Consequently, recent years have seen increased attention being given to image based remote and contactless physiological signal measuring technique. The main concern of this technique is the potential unreliable result due to the arbitrary motion. As a result, the contribution of this paper is to conquer the motion noise in the following scenario: head motion, body motion, running, driving, etc. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm achieves real time performance up to 30 fps via webcam. So as to prove the effectiveness of proposed algorithm, the ground truth certificated for diagnosis has been utilized. In order to estimate heart rate with motion, several improvement techniques including Face Detection, Peak Chosen, and Protection Algorithm are proposed. The face detection algorithm has been enhanced and stabilized via Face Landmark, position low pass filter and rotation compensation. Peak chosen algorithm in frequency domain is utilized to reduce the noise caused by movement. Lastly, with protection mechanism and Kalman filter, the reliability of heart rate estimation is promising. For estimating the breath rate, SURF feature points detector and matcher are proposed to capture the chest position of subjects. With optical flow calculation and peak chosen algorithm in time domain, breath rate is successfully estimated.

Breath-hold technique in radiotherapy provides accurate motion control of liver tumor with respiration. Spirometric Motion Management System (SDX system) is the newest device in Asia that comprises pneumotachograph spirometer, video goggles, and the limited breath-hold range for the voluntary breath hold. The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation of breath-hold level (BHL) and different image-guided alignment markers (bone or stent/Lipiodol) associated with position error of patients with liver tumor for their fractionated radiotherapy using SDX system. SDX system was used in 37 patients from May, 2014 to January, 2016. The BHL and range were instructed in simulation. In each fraction of radiotherapy, two types of BHL variations were defined. One was the average of the offset with each BHL (mean variation), and the other was the ratio of offset to each BHL (variation ratio). We used kV-orthogonal images to analyze the position shifts in anterior-posterior (AP), cranial-caudal (CC), and right-left (RL) directions, and cone-beam computed tomography images to compare the accuracy by two different image-guided alignment markers. The results showed patients with BHL>1.7L had significantly larger position error in AP and RL axes. Patients with mean variation<0.03L had significantly larger position error in CC axis. Patients with the variation ratio<2.1% had significantly larger position error in CC and AP axes. By kV-orthogonal guidance, position errors were different between bone and stent/Lipiodol alignment in CC and RL axes. The use of stent/Lipiodol for alignment was more accurate. In conclusion, liver radiotherapy with SDX system is a voluntary breath-hold method that reduces tumor motion effectively and accurately. The larger BHL was associated with more position shifts. The smaller variation between each breath-hold exercise was associated with larger position shifts, especially in CC direction. The correct alignment methods in image-guided radiation therapy can improve the targeting accuracy to tumor and reduce radiation dose to surrounding normal tissues.
