BIOCHEMISTRY: Organization RINGleader

Isolated splenic metastasis from lung cancer: ringleader of continuous fever.

The spleen is an infrequent metastatic organ of solid tumours, the prevalence of which ranges between 2.3% and 7.1% in populations with cancer as determined through autopsy. The most common sources of metastasis are breast, lung, colorectal and ovarian carcinoma and melanoma. Isolated metastasis of the spleen is rarely reported with only 93 cases from all sources having been reported up to 2007...

Editor Note – Biochemistry & Analytical Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of structures, functions and interactions of biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, etc. and their metabolisms. Advancements in biochemistry helps in the advancement of different fields like agriculture, medicine, nutrition, etc., which are directly related to it. Combination of biochemical techniques with techniques and ideas of genetics...

fact (it is alternately stated that the DSCT goes to cerebellum by its superior peduncle and its inferior peduncle); but these are usually easily recognized, and do not detract greatly from the overall value. This slender volume should be most useful to anyone who wants to know about primate spinal cord anatomy, and should be in medical school libraries, neurology, neurosurgery, physiology, psy...

Biochemistry & Medicine

Biochemistry can be defined as the science of the chemical basis of life (Gk bios “life”). The cell is the structural unit of living systems. Thus, biochemistry can also be described as the science of the chemical constituents of living cells and of the reactions and processes they undergo. By this definition, biochemistry encompasses large areas of cell biology, molecular biology, and molecula...
