New software could facilitate more consistent assessment of cancer risk
Breast tissue can range from almost entirely fatty (left) to dense (right). Since both healthy but dense breast tissue and cancerous tissue appear light on mammograms, women with dense breasts may need additional or alternative screening to detect breast cancer. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Whiterabbit.ai have developed a software that assesses breast density and can help identify women who could benefit from additional screening.

Not only does dense breast tissue increase the chance that a woman will develop breast cancer, the tissue creates white shadows on mammograms, obscuring the images and making it harder for doctors to identify potentially cancerous growths.
Sal Pizarro: San Jose Dance Theatre recovers some of its stolen costumes [Mercury News]
Jan. 23 After a truly terrible start to the year, there’s been some good news lately for San Jose Dance Theatre. You might remember that nearly 100 of the company’s handmade costumes were stolen when its storage space was broken into this month.
That amounted to thousands of dollars of work and threatened the upcoming May production of “The Sleeping Beauty,” not to mention future productions including San Jose’s longest-running version of “The Nutcracker.”
Artistic Director Linda Hurkmans says that on Jan. 19 a woman named Cynthia Trujillo-Houde saw something sparkly coming out of big black bags left in the street at Bernal Park, at Seventh and Hedding streets. Sixteen tutus were inside, and she posted the strange find on Next Door. Two people who were aware of the theft read her post and told her to contact San Jose Dance Theatre.
