INTRODUCTION  Acoustic nerve tumors have been recognized as a clinico-pathologic entity for at least 200 years, and they represent 90% of cerebellopontine angle diseases. Histologically, the tumors are derived from Schwann cells of the myelin sheath, with smaller tumors consisting of elongated palisade cells, while in large tumors, cystic degeneration can be found in the central areas, possibly...

drug for the prevention of bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis attacks. DSCG inhibits the release of chemical mediators, including histamine and tumor necrosis factor, from mast cells. While DSCG is known to induce intracellular signaling events associated with physiological and pathological processes, the molecular mechanisms of DSCGinduced signaling have remained unclear. Recent evidence, ...

Several years ago the distributions of the ridge-counts on all ten fingers were given for a small sample of unrelated persons (Holt, 1949). A more detailed analysis has recently been made of the digital counts of a population sample of 1650 persons, 825 males and 825 females, and the results are given here. Included in the sample are the 100 males and 100 females whose counts were used previous...
