Mastalgia Assesment and Hormonal Correlations in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by Emel Kıyak Çağlayan, Levent Seçkin, Ayşe Yeşim Göçmen, Aylin Okur, Ergin Arslan, Halil İbrahim Serin, Kasım Çağlayan, Yaprak Engin Üstün

“…RESULTS: Frequency of mastalgia was found as 24.4% in PCOS group and 33.3% in control group and there is no statistical difference (p>0.05). It is apparent that the PCOS group, when compared with the control group, is characterized by higher LH levels and higher Testosterone, DHEAS and TSH levels (p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.019, p=0.04) CONCLUSION: Although there were different LH and Testosterone levels, we couldn't find statistical difference for the frequency of mastalgia between PCOS and the control group. …”

Dynamic recrystallization and mechanical behavior of Mg alloy AZ31: Constraints from tensile tests with in-situ EBSD analysis by Boissonneau, Gaëtan, Tommasi, Andréa, Barou, Fabrice, Lopez-Sanchez, Marco Antonio, Montagnat, Maurine

“…The intensity of this softening has to steadily increase with strain to explain the decrease in hardening rate between 15% and 60% strain. The apparent discrepancy between the kinetics of the microstructural evolution and the mechanical behavior implies, however, that the bulk softening does not depend solely on the DRX volume fraction, but also on its spatial organization.…”
