Serous ovarian carcinoma is now hypothesized to originate from fallopian tube epithelium (FTE). We investigated the FTE abnormalities in the patients with epithelial ovarian tumors. Our study included 55 cases of serous tumors (24 carcinomas, 8 borderline tumors, and 23 adenomas), 14 mucinous carcinomas, 22 endometrioid carcinomas, 5 clear cell carcinomas, and 2 malignant Brenner tumors. FTE wa...

he initials VDB are well known to collectors of the Lincoln penny, the obverse (front surface) of which reflects the longest-running design in the history of US coinage. In 1909, in its first coinage, VDB appears in embossed format at the bottom of the coin's reverse, in honor of its designer, Victor David Brenner. The initial San Francisco Mint coin, the 1909-S VDB, remains a sought-after rari...

Recently, Brenner et al. proposed a symmetric somewhat homomorphic encryption scheme and applied it to solve some practical problems, such as the Millionaires’ problem, which only need to evaluate circuits of limited depth. It is claimed that the security of their scheme is built on the hardness of integer factorization. In this paper, we use the Euclidean Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) algorith...

Brenner tumors represent 1% of all ovarian tumors. They are classified histologically as three types: benign, proliferative and malignant. Malignant less than 5% diagnosed have poor prognosis. Treatment approach for malignant is not well established but surgical resection widely accepted indications adjuvant chemotherapy controversial. Current evidence on treatment limited to few case studies s...

Can we lower medical costs by giving the neediest patients better care? BY ATUL GAWANDE I f Camden, New Jersey, becomes the first American community to lower its medical costs, it will have a murder to thank. At nine-fifty on a February night in 2001, a twenty-two-year-old black man was shot while driving his Ford Tau-rus station wagon through a neighborhood on the edge of the Rutgers Universit...
