Skipping just one scheduled mammogram could result in a more advanced breast cancer diagnosis, significantly impacting a patient's chance of survival.

Key Points: 
  • Skipping just one scheduled mammogram could result in a more advanced breast cancer diagnosis, significantly impacting a patient's chance of survival.
  • Even though regular mammograms are an important factor in early breast cancer detection, there are still many barriers that restrict women from receiving this preventative care, including access and work or family obligations.
  • The researchers then tracked all of the women's participation in five or fewer most recent invitations for breast cancer screening prior to cancer diagnosis.
  • Women who attended all five screening mammograms saw a 72% reduction in the risk of dying from breast cancer compared to women who didn't participate in any screening mammograms.

Youth baseball players who have not yet reached skeletal maturity might be especially vulnerable to elbow pain and injuries.

Key Points: 
  • Youth baseball players who have not yet reached skeletal maturity might be especially vulnerable to elbow pain and injuries.
  • Most recent estimates show that 20 to 40% of youth baseball players between the ages of nine and 12 complain of elbow pain at least once during the season.
  • In this retrospective study, the researchers reviewed elbow MRI exams from 130 youth players (18 years of age and younger) being evaluated for elbow pain.
  • The researchers hope that the results of this study will help to identify elbow injuries in children who play baseball and to individualize treatment based on skeletal maturity.

Key Points: 
  • The most common primary headaches are tension-type headaches and migraines.
  • While these headaches are typically associated with stress and muscle tension, their exact origin is not fully understood.
  • "Our findings support the role of neck muscles in the pathophysiology of primary headaches," Dr. Sollmann said.
  • "Therefore, treatments that target the neck muscles could lead to a simultaneous relief of neck pain, as well as headache."

Traditional breast cancer risk assessment models use information obtained from patient questionnaires, such as medical and reproductive history, to calculate a patient's future risk of developing breast cancer.

Key Points: 
  • Traditional breast cancer risk assessment models use information obtained from patient questionnaires, such as medical and reproductive history, to calculate a patient's future risk of developing breast cancer.
  • According to the American Cancer Society, Black women demonstrate the lowest 5-year relative survival rate for breast cancer among all racial and ethnic groups.
  • A deep learning AI risk assessment model developed using mammographic images alone can outperform traditional risk assessment models in future breast cancer development while also mitigating the racial biases seen in traditional models.
  • The deep learning model consistently outperformed traditional risk models in predicting a woman's risk of developing DCIS, which is early-stage breast cancer, and invasive breast cancer, which is cancer that has potential to spread.
