This report outlines the work-up and management of a 35-year-old man with a synovial sarcoma of the lateral border of the tongue. Synovial sarcoma of the tongue is an extremely rare tumour with variable morphological microscopic types and characters of immunohistochemical profile. There have only been 15 cases previously reported. This report aims to update the literature on this subject and ex...

We describe our linguistic rule-based tagger IceTagger, and compare its tagging accuracy to the TnT tagger, a state-of-theart statistical tagger, when tagging Icelandic, a morphologically complex language. Evaluation shows that the average tagging accuracy is 91.54% and 90.44%, obtained by IceTagger and TnT, respectively. When tag profile gaps in the lexicon, used by the TnT tagger, are filled ...

Agrobacterium strains were isolated from five different leguminous plants viz., Pisum sativum, Sesbania rostrata, Vigna mungo, V. radita and V. ungiculata. The isolated bacteria was characterized and identified as Agrobacterium rhizogenes based on their morphological, biochemical, cultural and pathogenicity tests. Antibiogram and protein profile of isolates were also studied by disc diffusion a...

Fungal infections in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) are a poor prognostic factor. We describe the first case of CGD with femoral osteomyelitis due to Cladophialophora arxii, which is a member of the dematiaceous group. The causative fungus was identified on the basis of its morphological characteristics, growth temperature profile, and nucleotide sequence on the internal tran...

We present a phase-field model to simulate the dynamics of a perturbed circular island during epitaxial growth. Surface diffusion and a far-field flux are incorporated in the model. Moreover, a modified free energy function together with a correction to the initial phase variable profile is given to efficiently capture the morphological evolution when a large deposition flux is imposed. To test...

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is the most aggressive form of thyroid cancer. It shows a wide spectrum of morphological presentations and the diagnosis could be challenging due to its high degree of dedifferentiation. Molecular and genetic features of ATC are widely heterogeneous as well and many efforts have been made to find a common profile in order to clarify its cancerogenetic process....

Background Planarian stem cells, or neoblasts, drive the almost unlimited regeneration capacities of freshwater planarians. Neoblasts are traditionally described by their morphological features and by the fact that they are the only proliferative cell type in asexual planarians. Therefore, they can be specifically eliminated by irradiation. Irradiation, however, is likely to induce transcriptom...

Whole cell imaging is a novel technique using which the time-dependent quantitative phase profiles of live unstained biological cells are analyzed numerically to learn on the cell functionally. Dynamic phase profiles of the sample are first acquired by wide-field digital interferometry (WFDI), a quantitative holographic approach, without the need for scanning or using exogenous contrast agents....

crustacean hemocyanins represent a unique case of molecular heterogeneity among oxygen-carrying proteins. two populations of gammarus lacustris and six populations of gammarus komareki were identified and isolated from aquatic habitats of ardabil (northwest of iran). the populations were nominated based on name of isolated region. principal component analysis of morphological absolute attribute...
