The use of paraffin slides and tissue microarrays (TMA) is indispensable for translational research. However, storage of paraffin slides over time has a substantial detrimental effect on the quality and reliability of immunohistochemistry stains. Particularly affected by this issue may be any collaborative efforts where paraffin slides or TMAs are shipped to central laboratories and then 'bioba...

The LATEX 2ε class slides used special fonts whose readability was exceptional. However, despite being part of the TEX system, they were not particularly efficient where mathematics was concerned. Since the time the LATEX3 Team abandoned slides, they have almost disappeared. This article describes the modifications and enhancements made to revive these historical fonts, and explains the package...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to compare the utility of Thin-Prep (TP) cytologic preparation with that of Cell Block (CB) preparation in the diagnosis of thyroid lesions, mainly follicular epithelial lesions, by fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). Feasibility of using the TP slides for immunocytochemical stains is also discussed. METHODS A total of 126 consecutive cases of thyr...

Nowadays the main learning resources are traditional board, slides and video podcasts. Each of them with their own strengths and weaknesses. Analysing the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional board and slides we have created, with the advantages of both resources, a new concept that we have named “minimalist slides”. Using the minimalist slides we have introduced a new type of video ...

In this paper, we investigate a very challenging task of automatically generating presentation slides for academic papers. The generated presentation slides can be used as drafts to help the presenters prepare their formal slides in a quicker way. A novel system called PPSGen is proposed to address this task. It first employs regression methods to learn the importance of the sentences in an aca...
