Comparable effectiveness from organised and opportunistic mammography screening in Switzerland

Effectiveness of organised (service) and opportunistic mammography screening in Switzerland was evaluated for thefirst time, based on internationally recognised prognostic indicators. Effectiveness by screening type (organised vs opportunistic screening) and detection modality (screened / unscreened women) was examined for 3 cantons (Vaud, Valais, Geneva) with organised programmes. Comparisons of prognostic profile were drawn with 2 regions (St-Gall/Appenzell and Ticino) uncovered by service screening, of low and high prevalence of opportunistic screening, respectively. Opportunistic and organised screening yielded little difference in breast cancerprognostic profile. Both screening types led to substantial stage shifting.Breast cancer prognostic indicators were systematically more favourable in cantons covered by a programme. In regions without a screening programme, the higher the prevalence of opportunistic screening, the better the prognostic profile. Organised screening appeared as effectiveas opportunistic screening in Switzerland. The favourable influence of mammography screening on stage distribution augurs a screen-attributable decline ofbreast cancer mortality. Extension of organised mammography screening to the whole of Switzerland can be expected to further improve breast cancer prognosis in a cost-effective way.

Study and modeling of the desintegration kinetics of coated paper

The disintegration of recovered paper is the first operation in the preparation of recycled pulp. It is known that the defibering process follows a first order kinetics from which it is possible to obtain the disintegration kinetic constant (KD) by means of different ways. The disintegration constant can be obtained from the Somerville index results (%lsv and from the dissipated energy per volume unit (Ss). The %slv is related to the quantity of non-defibrated paper, as a measure of the non-disintegrated fiber residual (percentage of flakes), which is expressed in disintegration time units. In this work, disintegration kinetics from recycled coated paper has been evaluated, working at 20 revise rotor speed and for different fiber consistency (6, 8, 10, 12 and 14%). The results showed that the values of experimental disintegration kinetic constant, Ko, through the analysis of Somerville index, as function of time. Increased, the disintegration time was drastically reduced. The calculation of the disintegration kinetic constant (modelled Ko), extracted from the Rayleigh’s dissipation function, showed a good correlation with the experimental values using the evolution of the Somerville index or with the dissipated energy
