Review of the case notes of 660 patients with a diagnosis of breast cancer during a five-year period showed that in 119 cases there had been thoracic metastases. These were recorded as pleural or extrapleural metastases (79 patients), mediastinal tumour (46 patients), lymphangitic carcinoma (41 patients), pulmonary nodules (34 patients), and solitary pulmonary nodule (nine patients). Endobronch...

Malaria causes high global mortality and morbidity annually. Plasmodium knowlesi has been recognised as the fifth human Plasmodium sp. and its infection is widely distributed in Southeast Asia. Merozoite surface protein-119 (MSP-119) appears as a potential candidate for malaria blood stage vaccine as it could induce protective immunity. In this study, codon optimized P. knowlesi MSP-119 (pkMSP-...

A spontaneous mutation affecting locomotion of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has been mapped to a new gene, unc-119. Phenotypic characterization of the mutants suggests the defect does not lie in the musculature and that the animals also have defects in feeding behavior and chemosensation. unc-119 has been physically mapped relative to a previously identified chromosomal break in linkage ...
