All cell block specimens from pancreatic fineneedle aspirations (FNAs) obtained between January 1, 2002, and June 30, 2003, were reviewed for foamy gland adenocarcinoma (FGA). All smears from these cases were reviewed for cytologic features, including those previously noted in conventional pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Fifty-two cell block specimens showed adenocarcinoma. Of these, 12 (23%) showed...

The article discusses the author's views on providing assistance in dangerous situations (drowning, suffocation and poisoning). Secondary drowning can also be accompanied by chest pain or exacerbation, shortness of breath, bruising skin mucous membranes development pulmonary edema, appearance ringing excessive foamy sputum, wheezing entire surface lungs, bronchospasm.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play regulatory roles in diverse processes in both eukaryotic hosts and their viruses, yet fundamental questions remain about which viruses code for miRNAs and the functions that they serve. Simian foamy viruses (SFVs) of Old World monkeys and apes can zoonotically infect humans and, by ill-defined mechanisms, take up lifelong infections in their hosts. Here, we report that S...

UNLABELLED While numerous viral microRNAs (miRNAs) expressed by DNA viruses, especially herpesvirus family members, have been reported, there have been very few reports of miRNAs derived from RNA viruses. Here we describe three miRNAs expressed by bovine foamy virus (BFV), a member of the spumavirus subfamily of retroviruses, in both BFV-infected cultured cells and BFV-infected cattle. All thre...

This model is motivated by the need to explain anomalous features associated with production from reservoirs of so-called foamy oils. These oils are described by some of their properties of response to pressure declines; it is noted that they nucleate dispersed gas bubbles and display obvious foaminess in well head samples produced by solution gas drive in which oil and gas is produced by the d...
