We conducted our study on 1110 patients with breast masses in order to investigate different aspects of power Doppler sonography (PDS) for differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions and their prognostication. ⋯ It seems that while malignant tumors have significantly higher number of vessels in comparison to benign one, since the number of vessels overlap between benign and malignant tumors, this aspect has little clinical usefulness in distinguishing or prognostication of breast masses. In contrast RI, PI, and vascularization pattern have an ability to differentiate and predict the prognosis of breast lesions.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to infection. Sepsis, which can lead to severe sepsis, septic shock, and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, is an important cause of mortality. Pathogenesis is extremely complex. ⋯ In animal experiments, many drugs show good results. However, clinical research lacks. In future studies, the urgent need is to develop promising drugs in clinical trials.

The most common drug abuse among athletes is anabolic steroids which lead to the development of cardiovascular diseases and sudden death. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate cardiovascular outcomes of anabolic consumption in body building athletes. ⋯ Increase in SBP or DBP is a common complication of these drugs which can lead serious vascular disorders. The lower LDL cholesterol level might be due to the higher amounts of lipid consumption in these athletes.
