Abstract
The purpose of a scaling system for specific injuries is to provide a common language to facilitate the clinical decisions and the investigative basis for this decision making. This brief overview describes the evolution of the Organ Injury Scaling (OIS) system developed by the American Association...

Abstract
We continue to call Pneumocystis carinii the species found in rats. This will allow for a single international language and avoid confusion. Changing the organism's name does not preclude the use of the well-known acronym PCP because it can also be read "PneumoCystis Pneumonia." The DNA sequences an...

Abstract
In spite of the Gent consensus on perforator flap terminology, widespread confusion still exists regarding the true description of these flaps, making it hard to understand these surgical procedures in comparison with conventional flap techniques. The value of perforator flaps can be better understo...

Abstract
We have noted a distinctive histologic variant that we have termed steatohepatitic hepatocellular carcinoma (SH-HCC) with features resembling non-neoplastic steatohepatitis, including large droplet steatosis, ballooning of malignant hepatocytes, Mallory-Denk bodies, inflammation, and pericellular fi...

Abstract
Since the first reported case in 1994, a small but significant number of patients have developed major mesenteric arterial and venous thromboses after laparoscopy, usually with catastrophic outcomes. The basic science data in both animal and human models suggest that these events were due in part to...

Abstract
Our results confirm that EPONs are histologically, immunohistochemically, and molecularly distinct from papillary thyroid carcinoma and seem to be most related to follicular neoplasms....

Abstract
We investigated the morphologic, immunohistochemical, and genetic features of 36 additional tumors. Immunohistochemistry was carried out for CK7, carbonic anhydrase 9, α-methylacyl-CoA racemase, CD10, TFE-3, and desmin. Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization was carried out with centromeric...

Abstract
There are no previously published reports on fibro-osseous jaw lesions in Thailand. The aims of this study were to determine the relative frequencies and the clinicopathologic features of these lesions in Thailand, and to compare these data with information available in the literature.
A total of 12...

Abstract
We discuss two recent genome-wide RNAi screens for epigenetic regulators and explore potential applications in understanding DNA methylation and gene expression regulation in mammalian cells. We also discuss some of the key unanswered questions in the field of DNA methylation and suggest genome-wide...

Abstract
For a better understanding of the structures comprising the human body and in view of the possible need for future revision of anatomical nomenclature, Latin anatomical names of skeletal canals (including canaliculi) in Terminologia Anatomica were analyzed and classified, and compared with the corre...

Abstract
Past theories that have been proposed to account for the attacks of vertigo during the course of Meniere disease are reviewed. In the past, vascular theories and theories of perilymph and endolymph mixing due to ruptures or leakages were proposed. Recent research concerning the basic mechanisms of t...
