Significant cellular sensitivity to peripheral nerve antigens was found by MIF assay in 36% of patients with lung cancer (P<0·005) as compared with 62% of patients with peripheral neuropathy without neoplasia. No sensitivity was found in controls or the cancer sub-group without neuromuscular abnormality. The significance of these findings for an immune mechanism is discussed.

Our purpose was to use functional MR (fMR) imaging to elucidate the brain regions engaged by multiplication. METHODS Eighteen adults underwent fMR imaging while performing matching, multiplication, and control tasks. For each task, three or four singl...
