Senior Surgeon, Kashmir Mission Hospital. At the present time the causation of cancer is being so vigorously investigated that at any time a flood of light may he thrown upon the whole subject. Meanwhile, although the origin of many forms of malignant disease is involved in profound obscurity, there are certain types of cancer, which have a sharply defined causation. The kanqri cancer is a case...

Cutaneous melanoma is a capricious neoplasm characterized by a clinical behavior that can be considered archetypical of malignancy. The obscurity of its causes, the often unpredictable pattern of lymphatic and hematogenous metastases, the inscrutable differences between potentially curable and incurable lesions, and the often relentless progression of disease despite apparently adequate treatme...

Radio frequency identification (RFID), The real-time location of objects and ability to track motion provide a wide range of useful applications in areas such as safety, security and supply chain. In recent years, radio frequency identification technology has moved from obscurity into mainstream applications that help speed the handling of manufactured goods and materials. RFID enables identifi...

Delirium is an important neuropsychiatric syndrome in the elderly that is associated with an increase in mortality, impaired physical and cognitive recovery, and increased healthcare costs. Two important gaps in daily practice with delirium are the pathophysiological obscurity and the low recognition rates. Genetics offers the possibility to contribute knowledge to both of these gaps with its u...

The practice now known as “dabbing” appears to be quickly proliferating as a fashionable way to use marijuana in the United States.1 Dabbing is the inhalation of a concentrated tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) product created through butane extraction. The use of butane hash oil (BHO) products and the modification of cannabis more generally are not new phenomena, but dabbing has recently moved from r...

Sudden death, during or just after labour, has only too often been attributed to " obstetric shock." Out of this aetiological obscurity, in 1941 and 1942, Steiner and Lushbaugh extracted one recognizable cause of death, the finding in the maternal blood vessels of amniotic material. Recognition of other cases has followed rapidly (see review by Sluder and Lock, 1952), but thus far only three re...

With the integration of security-critical services into Building Automation Systems (BAS), the demands on the underlying network technologies increase rapidly. Relying on physically isolated networks and on “Security by Obscurity”, as it is still common today, is by no means an adequate solution. To be reliable and robust against malicious manipulations, the used communication services must sup...

as H. J. S. Smith, and Vandiver's numerous contributions to the same end. Last there is the recent work of Dickson, which bids fair to be epoch making, on Algebras and their Arithmetics,* where the classic theory of algebraic numbers finds a simple and profound generalization. With the books of Landau and Dickson, the report of Hubert and that of the present authors now available, it is to be h...

Chelation therapy, spending several decades in obscurity, has emerged as a potential intervention to benefit patients with prior myocardial infarctions, and especially in those with diabetes. While many questions remain unanswered, the TACT1 trial presents strong evidence in support of the benefits of IV EDTA and OMVM on reducing total mortality and recurrent cardiac events, with the most drama...
