This paper challenges the mantra repeated for decades in wake of signing Lomé Sugar Protocols by African, Pacific and Caribbean group nations (A.C.P.) which Trinidad Tobago was a member European Economic Community (E.E.C.) during 1975. The slant voiced accepted many w ithin has far too long suggested that continued seemingly altruistic economic relationship established between 1951 1974 its dir...

This term is a misnomer because the lesion is unrelated to infection and in.Pyogenic Granuloma Hyperplastic Lesion of the Gingiva: Case Reports. Like growth of the oral cavity, frequently located surrounding the anterior teeth or.Pyogenic granuloma is an inflammatory hyperplasia affecting the oral tissues. Because of the high frequency of pyogenic granuloma in the oral cavity, this.Pyogenic gra...

THE NAME JAPANESE HIL.L ROBIN often used in Hawaii for Leiothrix lutea (Scopoli) is an unfortunate misnomer, as is Pekin Nightingale, because the bird does not occur in the wild in Japan nor does it occur as far north as Shanghai, much less Pekin or Peipmg. Henshaw (1911: 63) recommended the introduction of this species into Hawaii as early as 1911 and noted that it lives to some extent on inse...

Thinking about Autonomy Strictly speaking, though, the term “autonomous system” is a misnomer. Autonomy is not a property of a system, but rather the result of an interaction between the system, the task, and the situation. No system—and, for that matter, no person—can perform autonomously in every task and situation. On the other hand, even the simplest machine can function autonomously if the...

It is often queried how a type of schizophrenia which has been known to progress relentlessly to deterioration and often poorly responsive to treatment be called a 'simple' schizophrenia. Though psychiatry literature has not raised the issue, discussions at seminars and clinical fora have tended to call such a terminology a misnomer for such a 'complicated' picture, forgetting the fact that the...

For several decades, there have been efforts to "reform" nursing homes. Despite this, the calls for such reform continue unabated. Therefore, it might lead us to ask just what has been accomplished to date, and whether it is on the right track. True reform of health care-including long-term care-requires a strategy. A key part of that strategy is that the care must conform to some universal and...

The dynamics of "reticuloendothelial blockade" were studied in living rabbits and isolated, perfused rabbit livers utilizing gelatin as a blockading agent and Au(198) stabilized in gelatin as a tracer. Employing the above experimental model, the following observations were made. (a) RES blockade was specific and dependent on the surface properties of the particle under study. (b) RES blockade w...

BACKGROUND Women who have more than one abortion are often the "targets" for social and clinical interventions geared at preventing "repeat abortions." Such an approach ignores the unique circumstances that may surround each abortion. STUDY DESIGN We qualitatively analyzed the history of 10 women who have had more than one abortion who were participating in a larger study of women's emotional...

Objective measurements of various histological features in rectal biopsy material were made using computerised interactive image analysis. Analysis of the resulting data by forward stepwise discriminant analysis showed that biopsies from patients with ulcerative colitis and infective diarrhoea could be distinguished from each other and from normal biopsies; they could not, however, be distingui...

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is the instructive rickets or osteomalacia caused by loss-of-function mutation(s) within TNSALP, the gene that encodes the "tissue nonspecific" isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). HPP reveals a critical role for this enzyme in skeletal mineralization. Increased extracellular levels of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate and inorganic pyrophosphate (PP(i)) demonstrate that TNSA...
