Functional effects of preserving the intercostobrachial nerve and the lateral thoracic vein during axillary dissection in breast cancer conservative surgery by Ivanović Nebojša, Granić Miroslav, Ranđelović Tomislav, Bilanović Dragoljub, Đukanović Blagoje, Ristić Nataša, Babić Darko

“…Although we did not prove that the preservation of LTV prevents breast edema after conservative surgery for breast cancer, we think that more complex analysis, including parameters such as the extent of resection of breast tissue, the dimension and constitutional characteristics of the breast, tumor location, obesity, and further developments in surgical technique, would reveal at least discrete improvements in the functional results of this surgical approach.…”

Understanding Informal Settlement Transformation through Google’s 2.5D Dataset and Street View based Validation by S. G. Veeravalli, S. G. Veeravalli, J. Haas, J. Friesen, S. Georganos

“…Monitoring change in informal settlements remains a critical challenge, particularly in data-scarce contexts across the Global South. While satellite remote sensing provides strong temporal coverage, conventional approaches for mapping the built environment often rely on very high-resolution imagery or LiDAR, which lack consistent temporal availability and are costly to scale especially for capturing vertical growth. …”
