The mysterious steps in carcinogenesis

Leptospirosis: The “mysterious” mimic

Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal bacterial disease that can display a wide array of clinical presentations thus mimicking better-known illnesses. Although, leptospirosis is primarily a zoonotic disease, it frequently inflicts severe illness and death on communities around the globe. A comprehensive overview of the disease in wake of the 2006 outbreaks in India is hereby presented and discus...

The mysterious specific indefinite

When an indefinite newly introduces or reintroduces an accessible referent into the discourse, it is called specific. Thus, in (1a), it can be coreferential with a lion in the previous sentence, which indicates a particular lion in the relevant situation. By contrast, a nonspecific indefinite has no specific referent at all, as is illustrated in (1b), where a lion can be any lion. In that case,...

The Mysterious Whiteboard

This paper raises the question of why electronic whiteboards are not ubiquitous. The paper provides a design-oriented analysis of traditional as well as electronic whiteboards in the context of collaborative and individual activities. We offer a novel perspective on whiteboards for collaborative activity based on a survey of the electronic whiteboard literature, a series of interviews with user...

in Liver Carcinogenesis by Diethylnitrosamine Role of Acute Hepatic Necrosis in the Induction of Early Steps

Experiments were performed to assess the role of liver cell necrosis in the induction of early steps in liver carcinogenesis with diethylnitrosamine, as measured by the appearance of foci of resistant hepatocytes that stain for y-glutamyl transpeptidase and that are presumptive preneoplastic lesions in the rat. With the use of a necrogenic dose of diethylnitrosamine and an assay for the carcino...
