Chronic atelectasis and pneumonia of the middle lobe have been described as a clinical syndrome, of which the essential pathological feature is an obstruction of the middle lobe bronchus. The cause of obstruction may be intraluminal or extraluminal, specific causes such as tumour or active tuberculosis not included. Graham, Burford, and Mayer (1948) reported 12 cases in which the syndrome resul...

UNLABELLED When thyroid tissues exhibited concentrations of therapeutic (131)I that appeared to be less than that predicted by data from the preceding diagnostic (131)I, the phenomenon was called stunning. We hypothesized that stunning arose from the early effects of the therapeutic dose of (131)I and that the initial uptake of (131)I, observed within the first day, was not impaired by the diag...

The most deliberate part of first-language teaching is the business of telling a child what each thing is called. We ordinarily speak of the name of a thing as if there were just one, but in fact, of course, every referent has many names. The dime in my pocket is not only a dime. It is also money, a metal object, a thing, and, moving to subordinates, it is a 1952 dime, in fact a particular 1952...

Array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) is a high-throughput lab technique to measure genome-wide chromosomal copy numbers. Data from aCGH experiments require extensive pre-processing, which consists of three steps: normalization, segmentation and calling. Each of these pre-processing steps yields a different data set: normalized data, segmented data, and called data. Publications using ...
