“Hyperplastic” Laryngitis (Previously Shown November 7, 1924)

Wednesday, November 7, 2007

In the US alone, roughly 1.4 million patients undergo operations requiring arterial prostheses annually (1). Tissue engineering (TE) represents a potential means to construct functional small diameter vascular grafts in situations where autologous tissue is unavailable and conventional synthetic materials fail. While initial results with many of the TE vascular grafts (TEVGs) constructed to dat...

9:00 Galois Groups of Random p-adic Polynomials Benjamin Weiss The space of fixed degree polynomials with p-adic coefficients has a natural probability distribution. Each polynomial also has an associated group which is the Galois group of its splitting field. We will discuss the induced distribution on groups, and derive results for the limiting distribution as p grows. Time permitting, we wil...

Laryngitis.

How is it assessed? Laryngeal symptoms may have many causes. They are usually driven by four broad disease processes: inflammation, neoplastic and structural abnormalities, imbalance in muscle tension, and neuromuscular dysfunction. Laryngeal symptoms arise from one or a combination of these processes. A careful history and examination is crucial in determining the primary factor and helping to...

Glycoprotein abnormalities in colonic carcinomata, adenomata, and hyperplastic polyps shown by lectin peroxidase histochemistry.

A technique for lectin-peroxidase histochemistry was adapted for the study of formalin fixed paraffin embedded colonic tissue. Ten lectins with differing carbohydrate binding specificity were tested against 20 normal rectal biopsy specimens and tissue from 19 colonic carcinomata, 19 tubular or tubulovillous adenomata, and 19 hyperplastic polyps. None of the normal rectal biopsy specimens bound ...
