A Little Effort

So much effort, so little progress?

In colorectal cancer (CRC), the treatment guidelines differ for Union International Contrè Cancer (UICC) stage II and III colon cancer patients. In patients with stage II colon cancer without risk factors such as T4 tumor, tumor perforation, emergency surgical procedure, or less than 12 removed lymph nodes, the low risk of recurrence is justifying no role of adjuvant chemotherapy. It would be c...

Actin Motility: Staying on Track Takes a Little More Effort

The pigment cells of amphibians and fish have provided excellent models for understanding how actin and microtubule motors move organelles along the complex trailway of filaments in the cytoplasm. Recent work provides more evidence that these motors are engaged in a continuous tug-of-war.

Very Fast YACC-Compatible Parsers (For Very Little Effort)

We have developed a yacc-compatible parser generator that creates parsers that are 2.5 to 6.5 times faster than those generated by yacc or bison. Our tool, mule, creates directly-executable, hard-coded parsers in ANSI C; yacc produces interpreted, table-driven parsers. Hard-coding LR parsers for speed is not a new idea. Two attributes distinguish mule from other parser generators that create ha...

Modeling of Cylinder Heat Transfer - Large Effort, Little Effect?

Visceral urate deposition in a little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus)

Visceral urate deposition (visceral gout) is a common finding during post-mortem examination of poultry. Rare cases of visceral gout may occur in wild birds. A rare case of visceral urate deposition in a little bittern (Ixobrychus minutus) is reported here. In May 2013, carcass of a little bittern was submitted for necropsy to the Clinic of Poultry Diseases (Faculty of Veterinary Medic...
