ОРГАНІЗАЦІЙНО - ПРАВОВІ ЗАСАДИ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ПРИВАТНИХ ДЕТЕКТИВІВ В ПОЛЬЩІ ТА УКРАЇНІ
Authors: Француз А.Й.  , Тупіченко Ю.К.
Published: February 2023

Конституційна криза, знищення антикорупційного законодавства і втрата довіри до правоохоронних органів – стимулює розвиток недержавних організацій та появу фізичних осіб, охороняють приватну власність, забезпечують особисту безпеку, захищають життя та здоров’я громадян. Серед таких: охоронні агентства, бодіґарди та приватні детективи. Відсутність правового регулювання детективної діяльності в Україні – дуже велика юридична проблема, яка відділяє нас від сучасного Європейського світу. Бажання чинної влади тримати контроль над правоохоронними органами і слабка реалізація правоохоронної та розшукової діяльності – сприяє активному розвитку злочинності на території України. Це змушує Українських науковців та правників вивчати міжнародний досвід для ефективного впровадження інституту детективної діяльності, згідно з чинним міжнародним законодавством. Діяльність приватних детективів в європейських країнах – забезпечується правом громадян цих країн захищати свої Конституційні права. Також, на території країн Євросоюзу діяльність приватних детективів легальна та чітко прописана в законодавстві. Правове регулювання сфери приватної детективної діяльності - дуже складне питання. Важко створити адекватні законодавчі умови, коли мова йде про повноваження одних людей - отримувати інформацію про третіх осіб без їх згоди та відома. Тому законодавець сучасної європейської країни має знайти тонку межу між особистою свободою, правом на приватне життя та мінімальними правами особи, яка здійснює приватну детективну діяльність. Це необхідно для того, щоб детектив міг ефективно та надійно виконувати свої обов’язки. Сьогодні в Україні не має законів, які чітко б регламентують приватну детективну діяльність. Однак послуги, які мають ознаки приватної детективної діяльності, все ж таки надаються окремими приватними особами та агенціями. Якщо звернути увагу на розділи оголошень в мережі Інтернет, можна зустріти безліч пропозицій щодо надання детективних послуг.
ЛЮДИНА, ЯК ДЖЕРЕЛО ІНФОРМАЦІЇ ДЛЯ ПРИВАТНОГО ДЕТЕКТИВА

Людина є ключовою ланкою в системі інформаційних джерел. Г. Лазутіна пропонує американську наукову традицію, де вона класифікується як «живе джерело», «і в цьому - не тільки прямий сенс: людина - суб'єкт діяльності, вона включена у природні й соціальні процеси безліччю зв'язків і тому як джерело інформації являється невичерпною». Дійсно, людина, з одного боку - свідок або учасник подій що, відбуваються навколо нас і тому виступає в якості носія інформації про ці події. З іншого боку, вона утримувач інформації про себе, про свій внутрішній, неповторний світ. І, нарешті, вона транслятор інформації, отриманої від інших. Робота приватного детектива полягає в тому, що за родом своєї діяльності деяку інформацію дізнається безпосередньо від людини. Особливість цього джерела інформації в тому, що він може відкритися або не відкритися для приватного детектива: як істота соціальна він сам програмує свою поведінку, це необхідно врахувати кожному детективу, який працює з цим джерелом інформації. Так найголовніше для детектива, це правильно працювати з джерелом інформації, особливо з таким як людина. Найголовніше це мистецтво психологічного спілкування, за допомогою якого, навіть у самих критичних ситуаціях не задівши почуттів людини можна отримати потрібну інформацію. Тому мистецтво говорити, а так само психологія спілкування дуже важливі навички у професії детектива. Знання, а головне вміння застосування цієї науки на практиці дозволяє отримати максимальну віддачу від роботи, так само придбати навички "досконалої поведінки". Психологія спілкування дає не тільки розуміння поведінки людей, але й спосіб мислення, процес спілкування людини з самим собою та іншими людьми. Психологічний аналіз професійних дій можливий при спостереженні за роботою на стадіях спілкування з партнерами.

Authors: Kovtun G.I.
Published: February 2023

The aim – to conduct a study among patients of the cardiac surgery clinics and determine their attitude towards organ donation and transplantation.Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, a study was conducted and empirical information was obtained from a representative sample of 411 patients. The study used general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization, interpretation of scientific data, as well as a systematic approach.Results. As a result of the study, the attitude of patients of the cardiac surgery clinics to organ donation and transplantation was determined. It was found that at the level of patients of the cardiac surgery clinics the cultural understanding of society in relation to organ donation and transplantation has not been formed.Conclusions. The existing cultural views of the patients in Ukraine doesn’t provide positive precedents for development of organ donation based on the system of «organ testament». The analysis of the data obtained from the survey showed that the topic of organ donation and transplantation is not sufficiently familiar to the respondents.

Published: February 2023

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a persistent maladaptive reaction provoked by the impact of traumatic event. Recently, the investigations cause-and-effect relationships of PTSD with the main risk factors, the course and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases has become more relevant. Many studies have shown that patients with PTSD have higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases in general and adverse events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure. Individual clinical factors, pathophysiological and behavioral mechanisms of these connections require further investigation. Timely diagnosis and specific treatment for PTSD are considered important not only for reducing clinical symptoms and improving quality of life, but also for improving survival of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Published: February 2023

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the main components in the treatment of the coronary artery disease (CAD) and especially its acute forms. Nevertheless, restenosis of stented coronary arteries, which significantly worsens the course of CAD, remains a significant clinical problem of this technology. Prevention of this complication requires a modern understanding of the complex pathogenetic mechanisms of restenosis. Based on the literature data, the frequency of restenosis development in stents with medical coatings is in the range from 3 to 20 %. The mechanism of restenosis is multifactorial and includes biological, mechanical, and genetic factors. The main mechanical causes are insufficient expansion of the stent or its destruction, and biological factors include local inflammation, leading to aggressive neointimal proliferation and late neoatherosclerosis. The search for genetic factors and possibilities of influence on the development of this complication is still ongoing. Intracoronary imaging is crucial for identifying mechanisms of restenosis and selecting individual therapy.

Published: February 2023

The aim – to analyze the effect of two different schemes of anesthesia on early cardiac complications in patients with coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass.Materials and methods. The study included 120 patients who underwent CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The median surgery risk according to EuroSCORE II was 3.45 % (2.15 %; 4.05 %). According to the scheme of anesthesia, all patients were divided into two groups: the first group (60 patients) – low-opioid scheme of anesthesia; the second group (60 patients) – a standard scheme of anesthesia.Results. Patients in the first group were more than twice as likely to develop postoperative atrial fibrillation compared to the second group (9 (15.0 %) vs. 19 (31.7 %), p = 0.031). In addition, patients in the first group were 2.3 times significantly less likely to have low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) compared to the second group (11.7 % vs. 26.7 %, p = 0.037). The duration of CPB (p = 0.032) and the level of interleukin-6 after CPB (p = 0.004) were reliable indicators for predicting LCOS. The final statistical model [F (4, N = 120) = 12.52, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.304] covers almost a third of all factors in the development of LCOS. Only the level of interleukin-6 after CPB (the final statistical model (F (4, N = 120) = 11.54, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.286) was a reliable indicator for predicting postoperative atrial fibrillation.Conclusions. The obtained results confirm the safety of clinical use of anesthesia schemes with low doses of opioids in cardiac surgery patients and emphasize the possibility of a more conservative use of opioids in cardiac surgery.
Variants of development and management of patients with persistent atrial fibrillation
Authors: Skybchyk Ya.V. , Mikhaliev К.О. , Zharinov O.J.
Published: February 2023

The article discusses controversial aspects of modern management of patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). The appearance of a persistent form of AF is mainly a consequence of the processes of fibrosis and electrical restructuring (remodeling) of the atrial tissue. However, the question of the causes and mechanisms of the formation of fibrosis of the atrial tissue is quite debatable. The suggestions of experts regarding the division of persistent AF depending on the features of the arrhythmological anamnesis are presented: the appearance of persistent episodes of AF as a stage of disease progression in patients who previously had a paroxysmal form of arrhythmia, or «persistent AF from the beginning». From the standpoint of predicting the course of the disease and differentiating the management of patients, there are also grounds for distinguishing «early persistent AF» in cases where the duration of the episode is more than 7 days and less than 3 months, as well as «late persistent AF» lasting from 3 to 12 months. From the point of view of evidence-based medicine, the paradigm of managing patients with persistent AF is shifting towards the fastest and most aggressive fight for sinus rhythm. Changes in favor of the rhythm control strategy have largely occurred due to the rapid development of catheter treatment technologies. Its effectiveness is generally lower than in paroxysmal AF, which is due to more pronounced structural remodeling of the atria, as well as electrophysiological changes in the myocardium against the background of a prolonged episode of arrhythmia. At the same time, research into new techniques using modification of the arrhythmia substrate is ongoing.

The article presents a case of a truly infected heart myxoma in a 25-year-old patient. His main complaint during hospitalization was a daily increase in body temperature for 8 months up to 39 °C. Resection of the tumor was performed. During the surgery, a tumor typical of cardiac myxoma detected. After the operation, the body temperature rose to 37.8 °C for 7 days, which later returned to normal. A feature of the microstructure of this cardiac myxoma was a large number of inflammatory foci in the form of leukocyte infiltrates, often with foci of necrosis and destruction in the center, characteristic of abscesses. In the areas of inflammation there were basophilic clusters of microorganisms, which might be morphologically classified as Toxoplasma gondii. According to the classification of S.G. Revankar et al., the described histological findings allow in this case to diagnose «definite infected cardiac myxoma». The described clinical case is a first confirmed case of myxoma infection in our practice. The characteristic clinical features of the disease are supplemented by the results of histopathological examination, which revealed the causes of the temperature reaction.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an underdiagnosed genetic heart disease with a prevalence of 0.2–0.5  %. Although the prognosis of HCM is relatively favorable, the annual overall mortality is about 0.7 %. The most common complication of HCM is obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). Careful diagnosis and timely identification of high-risk patients by confirming the presence and degree of obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract may reduce morbidity and mortality due to timely and correctly selected treatment. One-third of patients with HCM have echocardiographically confirmed LVOT obstruction at rest, and another third may have LVOT obstruction with provocation. Our clinical case demonstrates the presence of a small group of patients with HCM, whose LVOT obstruction is underestimated by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) neither at rest nor when using provocative tests (Valsalva tests, exercise), and its hemodynamic significance is revealed only with invasive hemodynamic catheterization of the heart. Below, we illustrate the utility of hemodynamic catheterization as an adjunctive tool to echocardiography to help establish the presence, magnitude, and location of obstruction in patients with HCM in the absence of such data on TTE. In case of a high degree of suspicion that LVOT obstruction is responsible for refractory symptoms, catheterization can establish the presence of a hemodynamically significant LVOT gradient and, accordingly, without deviating from clinical recommendations, to carry out optimal surgical treatment, in our case – septal alcohol ablation with subsequent elimination of symptoms and restoration of the patient’s endurance to physical exertion.

Przestępstwa ubezpieczeniowe w międzywojennej Polsce
Authors: Kasperski Wojciech
Published: February 2023

Artykuł stanowi próbę przedstawienia problemu oszustw ubezpieczeniowych, z jakimi borykali się ubezpieczyciele w Polsce w dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym. Autor definiuje oszustwo ubezpieczeniowe i przedstawia przyczyny powstawania tego zjawiska. Analizuje wpływ gospodarki na rynek ubezpieczeń oraz zależność pomiędzy zmianami występującymi w gospodarce, a ilością oszustw ubezpieczeniowych. W artykule autor ukazuje zmagania ubezpieczycieli z różnego rodzaju oszustwami, gdzie pierwszeństwo stanowi podpalenie mienia mające na celu wyłudzenie odszkodowania. Poza teorią, autor przedstawia wiele spraw prowadzonych przez organa śledcze i sądy powszechne, dotyczących oszustw ubezpieczeniowych. Dokładnej analizie poddano sposoby, jakimi ubezpieczyciele zabezpieczali się przed zjawiskiem wypłaty nienależnego odszkodowania, a także – w jaki sposób rekompensowali poniesione już straty. Analizie poddano również przepisy karne obowiązujące w dwudziestoleciu. Wskazano również na działalność prewencyjną ubezpieczycieli prowadzoną łącznie ze strażami ogniowymi oraz specjalnie przygotowanymi do walki z oszustwami ubezpieczeniowymi jednostkami policji. Na koniec ocenie poddano konsekwencje ekonomiczne oszustw ubezpieczeniowych i wysnuto wniosek, że z jednej strony z oszustwami asekuracyjnymi należy walczyć wszystkimi możliwymi sposobami, aby ograniczyć jego występowanie do minimum, zaś z drugiej strony, że z patologią występującą na rynku ubezpieczeniowym w całości wygrać nie można.

Green consumption and Environmental protection have been receiving increasing attention from scholars and practitioners, and they are also considered as expectations to reduce over-exploitation of natural resources, and negative impacts on the natural environment. Nevertheless, there is a big gap between increasing concerns of the environment as well as practices to protect the environment. After years of promotion , green consumptions are still below the expectations to make consumers have better green consumption behaviors. The purpose of the present study is to explore obstacles preventing consumers from practicing green consumption by employing the means-end chain theory with laddering interview to collect data. These obstacles then link to the personal values of consumers that they aim for through different consequences. There were 26 respondents interviewed by soft-laddering interview; and 93 participants in hard-laddering interviews. The research findings show that green consumption has 13 attributes (obstacles) which prevent consumers from practicing, and these 13 attributes (Ex: A1: Requirement of much knowledge and skills, A2: Inconsistent operation systems and policies, A3: a lot of space/suitable infrastructure required, etc.) lead to 6 values (Ex: V1: Insecurity, V2: Unbelief, V3: Negative emotions and spirits, etc) through 13 consequences (Ex: C1: Waste of time to learning/ remembering/ implementing, C2: Practicing improperly, C3: Useless effort, etc.). The strongest A-C-V link displayed on HVM is A5 (High initial purchase/ investment cost) – C7 (Waste of money) – V4 (Cost inefficiencies), which figures out the concern of cost issues when customers decide to involve themselves in green consumption. The study results contribute to the green consumption literature by providing knowledge of why consumers have not practiced green consumption frequently. Based on the findings, discussions and managerial implications are also presented.

Many learners these days are seeking for foreign language centers on social network sites (SNSs), advice from friends and acquaintances or celebrity endorsement. “The effects of electronic Word of Mouth (eWOM), Persuasion Knowledge and Celebrity Endorsement in advertisements upon the purchase intention of foreign language learners” is a study carried out in a foreign language center, a college, universities and a company in Ho Chi Minh City to assist managers, particularly those operating language centers, in acquiring an intensive insight of factors impacting purchase intention of learners opting for these centers. By doing so, this research partly aids managers in introducing proper advertisement policies on SNSs, specifically Facebook, thus increasing the language centers’ enrollment. 556 subjects were surveyed. The data was analyzed with SPSS 25 and AMOS 24 softwares. This research finds that Persuasion Knowledge and electronic Word of Mouth positively impact Purchase Intention. Also, Celebrity Endorsement has the same positive effect on Purchase Intention; however, one interesting point of this research’s result is that such kind of effect of independent variable (celebrity endorsement) on dependent variable (purchase intention) is mediated by two mediators namely Persuasion Knowledge and eWOM. Last but not least, Persuasion Knowledge is the strongest factor impacting Purchase Intention.

Authors: Rita Rauza Sukma , Sy Elmatris , Endrinaldi
Published: February 2023

Background: Free radicals are atoms or molecules with one or more unpaired electrons. Lead acetate has been reported to increase the presence of free radicals in the body.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effect of oral administration of jamblang (Syzygium cumini) leaf extract on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) serum levels in rats induced with lead acetate.

Methods: A total of 24 male rats were divided into three groups: the negative control, the positive control, and the treatment group. The negative control group received a standard diet, the positive control group received lead acetate at a dose of 40 mg/kg body weight, and the treatment group received lead acetate at the same dose along with jamblang leaf extract at a dose of 150 mg/kg body weight. Lead acetate and jamblang leaf extract administration was carried out for 30 days. Afterward, serum H2O2 levels were examined using the colorimetry method.

Results: Results revealed that H2O2 levels in the negative control, positive control, and treatment groups were 3.08±0.24, 4.94±0.75, and 3.44±0.65 nmol/L, respectively. Significant differences were observed between the groups, as well as between the negative control and positive control, and between the positive control and treatment group.

Conclusion: The study showed that jamblang leaf extract can reduce hydrogen peroxide levels in Wistar rats treated with lead acetate, indicating its ability to address oxidative stress.

Authors: Singh Niharika , Khan Saba , Khan Mohammad Mustufa , Ahsan Haseeb , Alam Roshan
Published: February 2023

Background: During pregnancy, the physiological production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is associated with a variety of maternal, placental, and fetal developmental functions. These functions are disrupted by excessive amounts of ROS, resulting to pregnancy complications. Different stages of pregnancy require a balance between oxidant and antioxidant production.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the status of malondialdehyde (MDA) and catalase (CAT) activity in pregnant and age matched non-pregnant women.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 74 participants were enrolled, including 37 pregnant and 37 age-matched non-pregnant women. The age range of participants was 18 to 40 years. MDA and CAT levels were measured spectrophotometrically. A p-value 0.05 was statistically significant.

Results: Compared to non-pregnant women, the mean plasma level of MDA was considerably elevated in pregnant women (p<0.0001). However, the mean level of CAT activity in pregnant women was significantly lower than in non-pregnant women (p<0.0001) In pregnant women, there is a significant strong negative correlation between MDA levels and CAT activity (p<0.01).

Conclusion: Pregnant women have high level of oxidative stress, indicating that the pregnant women are more susceptible to oxidative damage and may develop pregnancy-associated complications.

The trace element composition of bitumoids extracted from Archean crystalline basement rocks recovered by well 20009-Novoelkhovskaya has been studied. It has been established that the rocks of the Bolshecheremshanskaya series arecharacterized by a higher content of hydrocarbons compared to the Otradnenskaya series. The trace element composition was studied separately in chloroform and alcohol-benzene extracts. The rocks of the Bolshecheremshanskaya series are characterized by a higher content of organic matter. Bitumoids extracted from the rocks of the Otradnenskaya series have higher concentrations of trace elements.

Hydatid cysts are frequently located in liver (65-70%) and lungs (25%). The disease is usually asymptomatic when located in the extrahepatic regions. Sometimes, diagnosis can be established by observing germinative membrane, rockwater, or daughter vesicles during the operation.. A 41-year-old female patient applied with the complaint of intermittent left inguinal pain. Echinococcus Indirect Hemagglutination (IHA) test was positive. In the ultrasonographic examination, a hypoechoic area was observed in the posteromedial of the left femoral head.. A 56-year-old female patient, applied with the complaints of intermittent nausea, vomiting, and epigastric pain. She had a history of surgery for liver hydatid cyst 15 years ago and for lung hydatid cyst 10 years ago. IHA test of the patient was positive. The lesion involving septation and accompanied by calcifications around the cyst was reported as a hydatid cyst at dynamic CT for pancreas and upper abdominal MRI. A 22-year-old female patient applied with perianal pain complaint. Drainage was planned for the patient who had a pre-diagnosis of perianal abscess. Tissues similar to the hydatid cyst membrane were excised together with purulent fluid. The patient was diagnosed with hydatid cyst after the pathology result was reported “as compatible with hydatid cyst”. A 32-year-old female patient had a non-metabolic adrenal subcapsular cyst (hydatid cyst?) in the right adrenal gland on ultrasonography performed for abdominal pain. In abdominal tomography, a “cystic mass compatible with hydatid cyst located in the adrenal gland in the upper pole of the right kidney” was reported. IHA test of the patient was negative. Hydatid cysts located in the perianal region and muscles have been reported as atypical localizations in the literature, and some of them were diagnosed as a result of preoperative clinical evaluation and radiological imaging. Some were diagnosed as a result of pathological examination after the operation. Surgical treatment is an option in suitable cases, and the definitive diagnosis can be established by pathology. Consequently, it should be considered that cystic lesions detected in the patients living in endemic regions can be extrahepatic hydatid cyst that is localized in different anatomical regions.

Published: February 2023

Recent research has revealed that popular social media platforms are emerging as crucial digital health sources for individuals across demographics, but more so for adolescents and young adults (Lupton, 2021; McCashin & Murphy, 2022; Montag et al., 2021). ΤikTok is the latest social networking tool said to be functioning as a source of informal mental health communication and is increasingly being utilized for giving and seeking advice, sharing information and personal stories about the symptoms, effects, challenges, and coping strategies related to stress and anxiety, among other mental health issues (McCashin & Murphy, 2022). Despite the rapid growth of TikTok-based research, investigations of mental health-relevant content on this platform are still very few. The current study aims to contribute to this body of research through a content analysis of the most popular TikTok videos labelled with pertinent hashtags, namely #anxiety, #stress, and #stressrelief. The aim is to map the practices through which TikTok content creators appropriate the platform’s affordances in order to create content and generate interactions around a focal object of common concern. The analysis focuses on diverse aspects of the platform’s use as a medium for creating stress- and anxiety-related content, including the content creator identity and presentation, video format, type and purpose, audience engagement levels, as well as reported sources, symptoms, consequences, and coping techniques of stress and anxiety. The examination of TikTok user practices offers insights into the evolving patterns of consumption and production of digital content, and cultural production in a social media context.

The Semiotics of Sustainability in the Greek Media
Authors: Baltzi Thomai , Kostarella Ioanna , Skamnakis Antonis
Published: February 2023

The concept of sustainability has been recognized as a landmark of modern societies and remains the only internationally and consensually recognized global development concept (Jacobsson, 2019). It is based upon the need for a "change of course" in the social, economic, cultural and environmental policies, to bring about the necessary transformation of the existing system (Raco, 2014). At the same time, however, it is presented as an abstract concept that, instead of mapping an agenda and signalling any commitment for a structural transformation of liberal consumer capitalism, seems to be an artistic extension of its life expectancy (Swyngedoow, 2010). According to Fuchs (2017), questions about capitalism and class are largely neglected when actions are promoted that support increased sustainability in neoliberal society. Starting from this paradox, our main research question is to capture how the term "sustainability" is presented in relation to the existing neoliberal system, as well as which ideologies are expressed as neutral in the context of public information. The aim of this research is to determine the role of the Greek media in shaping the semantics of sustainable development. Specifically, after clarifying the terms and conditions through domestic and international literature, the framing analysis of four online media relevant publications is applied as a method of examination. The study aims to identify which discourses are constructed, how many and which publications refer to sustainability in relation to the frames of 'sustainable development' and 'degrowth' and which of these are presented as neutral ideological frames. The analysis reveals an interesting paradox, pointing to contradictory perceptions of problems, responsibilities and solutions in relation to sustainable development, depending on whether it relates to the private or public sector.

O câncer de mama é uma doença heterogênea associada a fatores genéticos e ambientais que acomete essencialmente mulheres, sendo o tipo de câncer mais incidente nessa população no Brasil e no mundo. Sua principal manifestação clínica da doença é nódulo (caroço) fixo na mama e/ou axila, geralmente indolor. Geralmente os aspectos avaliados para determinar o prognóstico são: anatômicos, patológicos endócrinos, fatores de crescimento tumoral e fatores de metástases específicos para os diferentes órgãos. Essa revisão narrativa tem como objetivo compreender os aspectos clínicos e fisiopatológicos do câncer mama. Em relação a epidemiologia, o câncer de mama é a primeira causa de mortalidade por câncer na população feminina no país, sendo a Região Sudeste e Sul, as áreas com maiores estimativas. Os sintomas mais frequentes nesse tipo de câncer são: dor, nódulo mamário, telorreia e tumor axilar. O tratamento do câncer de mama pode ser classificado em local (cirurgia com ou sem reconstrução mamária e radioterapia) e sistêmico (quimioterapia, hormonioterapia e terapia alvo). O método de diagnóstico por imagem mais usado é a mamografia devido ao baixo custo, acessibilidade e eficácia em detectar lesões pequenas e impalpáveis. Espera-se que esta pesquisa possa aprimorar o conhecimento técnico científico dos profissionais e gestores de saúde em aos aspectos clínicos e fisiopatológicos do câncer de mama para desse modo detectar casos precoces com bom prognóstico.
