The overwhelming majority of primary lung malignancies are secondary to smoke inhalation and occur in the older adult population in the presence of symptoms that are usually suspicious for an underlying malignancy. A chest radiograph is the initial imaging modality of choice to diagnose a lung cancer. However, a small percentage of lung cancer occurs despite a lack of smoking history whatsoever...

The placenta is a key organ for pregnancy evolution and fetal growth. Placental anatomic abnormalities may affect the placental functions, interfering in turn with maternal and or fetal wellbeing. This chapter describes the placental development, the macroscopic aspect and the histological characteristics through the gestation. The aim of this chapter is to provide updated information to help c...

INTRODUCTION The study objective is to evaluate critical points in the process of pre-analytical histology in an Anatomic Pathology laboratory. Errors are an integral part of human systems, including the complex system of Anatomic Pathology. Previous studies focused on errors committed in diagnosis and did not consider the issues related to the histology preparation of routine processes. METH...

In this article the author proposes an episodic theory of spoken word representation, perception, and production. By most theories, idiosyncratic aspects of speech (voice details, ambient noise, etc.) are considered noise and are filtered in perception. However, episodic theories suggest that perceptual details are stored in memory and are integral to later perception. In this research the auth...

In this brief note, it is shown that the random hyperbolicity of a random linear cocycle is equivalent to having the Lipschitz shadowing property.

The Atlas of Descriptive Histology is an extremely comprehensive and well-organized atlas including 612 illustrations covering everything from basic tissue to full organ histology. In a clear, systematic fashion, the authors move from simple tissue structures to complex organ systems, including micrographs of the adult tongue, lip, teeth, eye, ear, and developing teeth. Each chapter is designed...

This is a really admirable specimen of a students' textbook. Written in concise and clear language, arranged in simple and scientific sequences, and abounding in illustrations of the very highest excellence, it is undoubtedly, bulk for bulk, the best work on the subject in the English language. Some ten reproductions of histological micro-photographs by Mr. Andrew Pringle are given. We fear tha...
