Breast Biomarkers-Comparison on Whole Section and Tissue Microarray Section

Anatomic Pathology / WHOLE TISSUE SECTION

Tissue microarrays (TMAs) reduce the amount of tissue analyzed with the assumption that protein and gene expression patterns are homogeneous throughout tumors. Many tumor types, including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), are heterogeneous in many regards, including cell proliferation. We retrospectively compared Ki-67 labeling indices (LIs) determined by whole tissue section (WTS) vs TMA in a ser...

A Comparison of Plain Catgut and Vicryl in Subcutaneous Fat Tissue Closure of Cesarean Section

Wound complications such as infection, hematoma and seroma formation are major causes of delayed recovery and prolonged hospital stay after cesarean delivery. In addition to surgical technique, suture materials are implicated in these complications. Subcutaneous fat tissue is particularly susceptible to developing such problems because of its poor vascular supply. To investigate any difference ...

This paper reviews a cyclic scheduling model of repetitive manufacturing environments consisting of exible machines and multi-stage jobs. We explicitly model two system performance measures, throughput and ow time, while incorporating variability arising from uncertainty in operation processing times. We present an iterative approximation scheme to estimate the two moment behavior of our perfor...

Tutorial section Designing microarray oligonucleotide probes

INTRODUCTION DNA microarrays are one of a few technologies that enable the monitoring of thousands of gene expression levels in parallel. In general, microarrays comprise a solid planar substrate on which an ordered array of probes has been deposited. Each probe represents a gene or transcript of interest and there are essentially three main types of probe: polymerase chain reaction (PCR) produ...
