Giant-Celled Glioma (Giant-Celled Spongioblastoma Multiforme)

Salt tolerance at single cell level in giant-celled Characeae

Characean plants provide an excellent experimental system for electrophysiology and physiology due to: (i) very large cell size, (ii) position on phylogenetic tree near the origin of land plants and (iii) continuous spectrum from very salt sensitive to very salt tolerant species. A range of experimental techniques is described, some unique to characean plants. Application of these methods provi...

A Round Celled Sarcoma

His urine was scanty. It was measured from day to day. On the first day it was found to be only 14 ounces in 21 hours. It increased a little afterwards, namely, 30 ounces in 21 hours. When the eyeball was found completely disorganised it was excised on the 24th September 1908, but it was found free from any growth. After this he began to get fever. His temperature ranged at first between" 99? F...

Heads, Tails, and Tools: Morphogenesis of a Giant Single-Celled Organism

It’s (relatively) easy to conceptualize how multicellular organisms, like plants and people, generate the specialized structures they need for everyday life: cells differentiate to take on different tasks, such as photosynthesizing and breathing. But what about one-celled organisms? How do their components segregate within a single cell to develop head-to-tail polarity and unique structures, su...

Squamous Celled Epithelioma Due to Kangri Burn

Senior Surgeon, Kashmir Mission Hospital. At the present time the causation of cancer is being so vigorously investigated that at any time a flood of light may he thrown upon the whole subject. Meanwhile, although the origin of many forms of malignant disease is involved in profound obscurity, there are certain types of cancer, which have a sharply defined causation. The kanqri cancer is a case...
