Mixed stromal and smooth muscle uterine tumours, defined as those containing at least 30% of each component as seen by routine light microscopy, are rare. This report describes the morphological features of two such tumours diagnosed in 44-year-old and 50-year-old females complaining from recurrent uterine bleeding that was unresponsive to medical treatment. Morphological and immunohistochemica...

This test was sent to 245 participants. Each sample set contained a bolt cutter (Item 1) and two padlocks containing questioned toolmarks (Items 2 and 3). Participants were requested to examine these items and report their findings. Data were returned from 202 participants (82% response rate) and are compiled into the following tables: Page 2 Manufacturer's Information 3 Summary Comments 4 Tabl...

PCR Conditions: The PCR reaction is carried out in a total volume of 50 /*1 containing approximately 250 ng DNA, 2 units Taq DNA polymerase, 50 pmol of each primer, 200 /M dNTP's, 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.3, 50 mM KC1, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 0.001% gelatin. The amplification is performed for 30 cycles with an annealing temperature of 60°C. The amplified product is digested with TaqI and the DNA fragments are...

In grade school, students learn a standard set of Euclidean triangles. Among this set, the usual 45–45–90 and 30–60–90 triangles are the only right triangles with rational angles and side lengths each containing at most one square root. Are there any other such right triangles? We answer this question completely and present an elegant complement called Ailles’ rectangle that deserves to be in e...

The present study examined the relationship between emotional reactivity (self-report and physiological reactivity) to pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral emotion-eliciting stimuli and experiential avoidance (EA). Sixty-two participants were separated into high and low experiential avoiders. Results indicated that high EA participants reported greater emotional experience to both unpleasant and p...

Since the introduction of the EA process and subsequent development of EA methodologies and legislative provisions, the analysis of alternatives has been one of the main tenets of EA policy and procedures. Indeed, a thorough, unbiased and transparent assessment of investment alternatives from an environmental and social perspective (as well as a technical and economic standpoint) is one of the ...

Drinking alcohol-containing beverages is a common habit in Western countries. In most Western societies, at least 90% of people consume alcohol at some time during their lives, and 30% or more of drinkers develop alcohol-related life problems. Severe alcohol-related life impairment, alcohol dependence, is observed at some time during their lives in 10% of men and 3–5% of women, with an addition...

a profuse diarrhoea; the large stool containing much slime and being tinged with blood. The patient was sponged when the temperature passed 10i?. From this moment, however, rapid recovery ensued. The same evening the temperature was 102?; next morning 101? and next evening 100 30. The diarrhoea drew my attention to the condition of congestion and haemorrhage into the gut. I discontinued medicat...
