Death statutes in the United States list elements of loss for which a defendent must make compensatory payment. The element that economists as expert witnesses are called upon to calculate is net income, roughly deÞned as the decedent’s income minus personal expenses. The existence of joint or shared consumption goods complicates the deÞnition and calculation of net income. Net income can be in...

The expression of ABO(H) and Lewis blood group antigens on 68 colorectal carcinomas from 63 patients was studied by immunohistochemical staining of tissue specimens. The pattern of antigen expression was as follows: ABH was expressed in normal tissue only in secretors and was expressed in the proximal but not distal colon. In tumors, there was net loss of ABH expression in the proximal and net ...

INTRODUCTION Pre-temozolomide studies demonstrated that loss of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN held independent prognostic significance in GBM patients. We investigated whether loss of PTEN predicted shorter survival in the temozolomide era. The role of PTEN in the PI3K/Akt pathway is also reviewed. METHODS Patients with histologically proven newly diagnosed GBM were identified from a retrosp...

Milner, R. D. G., Fekete, M., Assan, R., and Hodge, J. S. (1972). Archives of Disease in Childhood, 47, 179. Effect of glucose on plasma glucagon, growth hormone, and insulin in exchange transfusion. Exchange transfusions were performed on term normal-for-dates, and term small-for-dates infants using blood preserved with acid citrate and glucose or acid citrate alone. The plasma concentrations ...

We find that in young and warm subducting plates, earthquakes occur just below the Moho. In older plates, earthquakes occur throughout the subducting oceanic crust, as well as the subducting mantle. We document this behavior in several subduction zones where there are independent constraints on earthquake locations and slab structure, specifically for northern and southern Japan, Alaska, and te...

Freeze-substitution and Epon embedment were quantitatively evaluated for their effectiveness in retaining water-soluble metabolites in plant tissues. Roughly 99% of the 80% (v/v) ethanol-extractable radioactivity in photosynthetically labeled soybean leaf discs and in petiole fragments containing translocated (14)C was retained during freeze-substitution in acetone or propylene oxide and embedm...

OBJECTIVES To assess the 5-year survival rates and incidences of complications of cemented and screw-retained implant reconstructions. METHODS An electronic Medline search complemented by manual searching was conducted to identify randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), and prospective and retrospective studies giving information on cemented and screw-retained single-unit and multiple-u...
