[Breast cancer risk through assessment tool of breast cancer risk].
A predictive model of breast cancer risk is the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT), designed by scientists at the National Cancer Institute. The objective was to determine the risk of breast cancer (BC) through the BCRAT. ⋯ According to the literature, the results obtained showed that sex, age over 50 years; family history and a previous conducted breast biopsy are the most important risk factors. According to the BCRAT risk was determined by averaging 0.6 probabilities to develop BC at five years in women over 35 years.

Comparative Study[The osteomyoplastic flap, a contribution to neurosurgery].
the cosmetic deformities that appear after a pterional craniotomy are usually the result of atrophy of the temporal muscle, lesion of the frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve or occur as a consequence of the way the craniotomy was done.The objective was to compare the functional and aesthetic complications from both the classic pterional approach and the osteomyoplastic flap type approach in patients with supratentorial surgical pathology either vascular or tumoral. ⋯ the osteomyoplastic flap showed a less severe hollowing in the temple although it demands more time in order to perform it. The frequency of complications seems to be the same.
