Hodgkin's disease is recognized as part of the spectrum of post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD), although it is still an uncommon de novo malignancy in this population. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been linked to both post-transplant non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and Hodgkin's disease. We report a case of recurrent Hodgkin's disease in a patient who received a renal transplant in...

BACKGROUND Chronic Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection in an immunocompetent host has been described however it is not a common entity. It has been linked to many lymphoproliferative disorders and achieves such via many molecular mechanisms, some of which are poorly understood. In addition to infectious mononucleosis, the EBV is linked to various other hematological pathologies and autoimmune di...

The term ‘hypothesis’ is part of the Linked Science Core Vocabulary (LSC) as one of the core elements for making scientific assets explicit and linked in the web of data. Hypotheses are generally understood as propositions for explaining observed phenomena, but eliciting and linking hypotheses can be a challenge. In this paper, we elaborate on a semantic view on hypotheses and their linkage, by...

To optimize the subindex for functional longevity in Austrian Fleckvieh, an approximate multivariate approach was analyzed. Genetic parameters for functional longevity and five type traits were estimated multivariately based on yield deviations. Genetic parameters differed slightly from the ones used in the routine evaluation. Indices and reliabilities computed in a full multivariate approach w...
