Hormone replacement therapy and female malignancy: what has the Million Women Study added to our knowledge?

Breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers account for about one-third of female malignancies diagnosed annually in the UK. Their incidence increases rapidly after puberty and continues to do so until the onset of the menopause, after which rates continue to rise, but not as steeply (Figure 1).1 This incidence pattern implicates prolonged endogenous female sex hormone production/exposure in their ...

Four Generations of Spec Cpu Benchmarks: What Has Changed and What Has Not

Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) CPU benchmark suite which was first released in 1989 as a collection of 10 computation-intensive benchmark programs (average size of 2.5 billion dynamic instructions per program), is now in its fourth generation and has grown to 26 programs (average size of 230 billion dynamic instructions per program). In order to keep pace with the architectu...

Nanotechnology and molecular cytogenetics: the future has not yet arrived

Quantum dots (QDs) are a novel class of inorganic fluorochromes composed of nanometer-scale crystals made of a semiconductor material. They are resistant to photo-bleaching, have narrow excitation and emission wavelengths that can be controlled by particle size and thus have the potential for multiplexing experiments. Given the remarkable optical properties that quantum dots possess, they have ...
