2026
This study describes a standardized surgical procedure for single-port endoscopic axillary lymph node dissection without liposuction in breast cancer. Indicated for patients with biopsy-confirmed nodal metastasis or positive sentinel lymph nodes, the technique emphasizes preservation of critical structures, particularly the intercostobrachial nerve, to reduce postoperative morbidity and optimize functional recovery.

Chemical Kinetics The reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs. The reaction rate is defined as the change in concentration of a component in the reaction with time. The speed of a reaction depends on several factors, including the concentration of reactants and the temperature at which the reaction is performed. Each reactant contributes to the speed of the reaction by a specific factor. This relationship is defined by the reaction rate law. Rate Law The rate law is an...

Source: Smaa Koraym at Johns Hopkins University, MD, USA Temperature Dependent Decomposition of Hydrogen PeroxideExpand We suggest that students work in pairs for this experiment. Equipment controls may vary. In this lab, you'll perform a decomposition reaction where a single compound breaks down into two or more simpler products. You will observe the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. This decomposition happens very slowly, so you will use iron (III) nitrate as a...
FAQs
Placement and contact determine how well the thermometer detects heat from the axillary skin. If the device is not positioned appropriately or does not maintain adequate contact, the measurement may not represent the local temperature reliably. Careful technique therefore improves the usefulness of this screening method and reduces uncertainty when clinicians interpret the result.
The armpit measurement reflects heat detected at the skin rather than a direct core-temperature measurement. Skin temperature can be affected by ambient conditions, thermometer placement, contact, and local blood flow. Consequently, an axillary value may not match a core reading, so clinicians should interpret it within the broader clinical assessment rather than treating it as an interchangeable measurement.
Several local and environmental factors can change the measured value, including the surrounding ambient conditions, the thermometer’s placement, the quality of skin contact, and blood flow in the axillary region. These influences explain why repeated or clinically unexpected readings require careful interpretation and attention to technique, especially when the measurement is being used to assess possible fever.
The thermometer is positioned at the axillary region so it can detect heat from the skin, with careful attention to placement and contact. Because the measurement is sensitive to local and environmental influences, the procedure should be performed consistently and interpreted in context. The method is intended as a practical, noninvasive screening approach rather than an automatic substitute for every other temperature site.
This approach is particularly useful for infants and children, as well as for patients who may not tolerate oral or rectal temperature measurement. Its noninvasive and practical nature supports screening when access, tolerance, or safety makes another site less suitable. Clinicians can use the result as part of an assessment while recognizing the limitations of an axillary reading.
An axillary result should be considered alongside the patient’s clinical presentation because the value may differ from core temperature and can be influenced by measurement conditions. When monitoring fever or suspected infection, careful technique and awareness of placement, contact, ambient conditions, and local blood flow are important. The reading provides screening information, but interpretation must remain clinically cautious.
