  There are perspectives to cure breast cancer, and the main strategy in that way is the exact estimation of tumor dissemination at diagnosis. It is well proved that disseminated tumor cells in the bone marrow are the most important prognostic factor in operable breast cancer [1]. Its prognostic role become visible at late periods after surgery (sometimes, 25 years). Taking in mind that women with breast cancer are around 60-year-old, one may see that the relapses arises usually after 80. It appears in brain, lung and other distant organs as hematologic metastases, and unfortunately, nothing is possible to do in the most of those cases, so the main reasons of deaths in breast cancer are distant metastases. Hematological dissemination of breast cancer takes place at very early stages of the diseases, sometimes even at carcinoma in situ [2]. The main reservoir of tumor cells in the organism is bone marrow [3,4]. Those cells survive for a long time and then wake up and come to some ...

Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a silent disease with not much of symptoms until fractures occur. It is characterized by low bone mineral density (BMD) and changes in bone microarchitecture that reduces bone strength and there is increase in risk of fractures [1]. After menopause, estrogen deficiency is the major contributing factor. Because of this there is an increase in RANK-ligand (RANKL) and a decrease in osteoprotegerin (OPG) secretion from osteoblasts. This imbalance induces fast bone loss, and thus there is increase in risk of fractures. WHO has identified osteoporosis as a major public health concern [2]. Osteoporosis is widely recognized as an important public health problem because of the significant morbidity, mortality and costs associated with its complications-namely fractures of the hip, spine, forearm and other skeletal sites [3]. The incidence of fragility fractures is highest among elderly white women, with one in every two women suffering an osteoporosis related frac...

By Carugno Jose* in Investigations in Gynecology Research & Womens Health Permanent sterilization is the second most common contraceptive method used by women in the United States [1]. In 2002, a hysteroscopic permanent sterilization option was made available: The Essure® System. It consists of a set of 2 coil designated to induce fallopian tube fibrosis and subsequent tubal occlusion. Three months after placement, the tubal occlusion is confirmed with a hysterosalpingogram which will then ensuretubal blockage [2]. The coils could be inserted in an office setting with no anesthesia or only minor sedation, providing a safe alternative avoiding the need for surgical intervention.
