Computers in histopathology.

Computers in histopathology.

stated, " almost exclusively non-sulphated". This does not detract, however , from the important finding of intense focal sulphomucin positivity in our case. We also agree that increased sulphomucins may be found in other epithelial sites in non-cystic fibrosis inflammatory disorders. In our paper we made no attempt to attribute directly the increased viscosity and other properties of cystic fi...

Data processing in histopathology.

Bacteria as computers making computers

Various efforts to integrate biological knowledge into networks of interactions have produced a lively microbial systems biology. Putting molecular biology and computer sciences in perspective, we review another trend in systems biology, in which recursivity and information replace the usual concepts of differential equations, feedback and feedforward loops and the like. Noting that the process...

Disembedding computers: interfacing ubiquitous computers

In this paper we look at four different interpretations of the term ‘Ubiquitous Computing’ many computers; people using them much of the time; embedded computers, and ‘invisible’ systems and consider how the two more specialist interpretations are being undermined by the other two. We explain how the increased manifestation of computers in our environment alters the ways in which we should cons...

Nail histopathology.

The structure of the nail unit is complex and many dermatologists and dermatopathologists have an incomplete understanding of it. Familiarity with the anatomy and histology of this unit, however, is a key factor in improving the diagnostic yield of nail biopsy. Inflammatory or infectious conditions that affect the nail can have a marked impact on a patient's quality of life. A wide-ranging vari...
