the adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol a on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. the results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

PURPOSE Granule cells pathology in dentate gyrus, have received considerable attention in terms of understanding the pathophysiology of temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis. The aim of this study was to determine the nestin (an intermediate filament protein expressed by newly formed cells), immunoreactivity (IR) in granular cells layers of hippocampal tissue extirpated during epile...

The traditional view of the external granular layer of the cerebellar cortex giving rise to interneurons has been challenged by recent studies with quail-chick chimeras. To clarify the time and site of origins of interneurons, a retrovirus carrying the beta-galactosidase gene was injected into the deep cerebellar tissue or external granular layer of postnatal day 4/5 rats to label dividing prog...

Granular cell tumors (GCT) are found in virtually any body site, including the tongue, skin, subcutaneous tissue, breast, rectum and vulva. However, they are rarely seen in the abdominal wall. We report here on a rare case of GCT in the rectus muscle of the abdominal wall. A 44-year-old woman presented with a non-tender, hard mass in the right lower abdominal wall. Upon microscopic examination,...

BACKGROUND Granular cell tumor (GCT) (granular cell "myoblastoma") is an uncommon neoplasm that may mimic carcinoma both clinically and morphologically. Fine needle aspiration diagnosis of vulvar GNT has been described on only one prior occasion. CASE A 74-year-old, black female presented with a mass in the left labia. Fine needle aspiration biopsy revealed rare intact cells; abundant, granul...

Granular computing(GrC) is a recent label, roughly speaking, jointly coined by Lin and Zadeh in 1996 to denote an emgering technolgy that is based on the computing/mathematical theory of an ancient concept of granulation. In this paper, we present the ”final” GrC model that simplify the earlier version.

SEE HOHLFELD AND SCHULZE-KOOPS DOI101093/BRAIN/AWW053 FOR A SCIENTIFIC COMMENTARY ON THIS ARTICLE: Inclusion body myositis and T cell large granular lymphocytic leukaemia are rare diseases involving pathogenic cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. After encountering four patients with both disorders, we prospectively screened 38 patients with inclusion body myositis for the presence of expanded large granula...

Epulis is a rare tumor of the newborn, also known as granular cell tumor of the newborn or Neumann's tumor. This tumor arises from the mucosa of the gingiva, most commonly from the anterior part of the maxillary alveolar ridge, and is typically seen as a mass protruding out of the newborn child's mouth, which may interfere with respiration or feeding. Epulis is seen only in the newborn and is a...

OBJECTIVE To identify criteria for the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and actinic keratosis (AK) by in vivo reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM). DESIGN Prospective RCM imaging of lesions suspected clinically and/or dermoscopically to be SCC or AK, followed by RCM assessment of the biopsy-proven SCCs and AKs. SETTING Private skin cancer clinic, Plantation, Florida. Patients A t...
