Maintaining good hospital records during military conflicts can provide medical personnel and researchers with feedback to rapidly adjust treatment strategies and improve outcomes. But to convert the resulting raw data into meaningful conclusions requires clear terminology and well thought out equations, utilizing consistent numerators and denominators. Our objective was to arrive at terminolog...

the ages of 50 and 60. Sindan Kia Khan had been to Col. H. Smith of Amritsar for operation and apparently an iridectomy had been done but with no improvement. I took a photograph* of the three brothers, the three old men standing behind and two of their sons sitting in front, and told them that if any of the third generation were affected to let me know at once. This year 1 discovered that a fo...

UNLABELLED Glioblastoma is the most common neuroectodermic tumor. It is also the most malignant one. Many genetic changes are found in glioblastomas, among them, the presence of oncoproteins p53 and blc-2, as well as a high mitotic level and the presence of apoptosis. The utility of such findings through immunohistochemistry for the prognosis of patients remains uncertain. Our objectives in thi...

Consideration of a previous unrecognized twinning of the original investigated crystal of the title compound [Kia et al. (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. E65, o301] led to improved reliability factors and to a slightly higher precision for all geometric parameters. The crystal under investigation was twinned by pseudo-merohedry with [100, 00, 00] as the twin matrix and a refined twin domain fraction of 0....

In Quang Nam Province, then South Vietnam, on August 26, 1971, a convoy of United States Army armored patrol cars was returning to base at the end of the day. A rocket-propelled grenade struck one of the vehicles, and subsequently five of the soldiers were killed in action (KIA) while one was missing in action (MIA). After-action reports from eyewitnesses to the event described the MIA soldier ...

Background : Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most commonest malignant tumor of skin especially fair-skinned individuals makes up roughly 70–80% all tumors. In certainty, this malignancy had a variety many sub-types, through distinct histo-morphological appearance and biological function. Unlike other tumors, usually has an affirmative clinical course, developing slowly just locally. Antibodie...

BACKGROUND P53 expression and increased MIB-1 proliferation index have been shown to correlate with invasive behavior in pituitary adenomas. The purpose of this study was to determine whether these indices could be used to predict a higher likelihood of recurrence in clinically nonfunctional pituitary adenomas and thus guide adjuvant therapy. METHODS Fifty-one clinically nonfunctional pituita...

Objective Meningioma recurrence after resection is likely influenced by multiple surgical and histologic factors. In this study, the degree of resection and tumor immunoreactivity to MIB-1 (i.e., Ki-67 labeling index (LI)) are described in recurrent and non-recurrent meningioma cases. Methods Data regarding tumor location, the degree of resection, histologic features, and the degree of Ki-67 po...

Gliofibroma is a rare astrocytic tumor, composed of a glial component ranging from benign to high grade of malignancy and a consistently benign mesenchymal component. Its exact biological behavior is not fully known. In addition, histogenesis and prognostic factors are also still debatable. We herein present a rare case of gliofibroma in a 25-yr-old male with seizure. A computed tomographic sca...
