Uterine leiomyoma with TdT positive B lymphocytes infiltrating is very rare and may simulate precursor B-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of such a lesion in English literature. A 51-year-old Chinese woman was noted a mass in her uterus in a routine physical examination. The myomectomy specimen was identified as a well-defined 8.0x...

The present guidelines review epidemiology, pathology, presentation, workup, staging, prognostic factors, and treatment options for patients with localized nodal indolent lymphoma, with an emphasis on radiation guidelines, including radiation dose, field design, and radiation techniques. Following a discussion of the current literature and available data for treatment and outcomes of patients w...

A ganglioneuroma arising in the pituitary fossa is described. The lesion behaved as an indolent but progressive neoplasm rather than a hamartoma.

BACKGROUND No standard treatment protocol exists for Kawasaki disease (KD) after spontaneous defervescence that does not use intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG). Moreover, some cases present an indolent course and later develop coronary artery lesions (CALs). We aimed herein to assess the short-term prognosis of KD after defervescence and to clarify the characteristics of indolent KD. STUDY DES...

Indolent B-cell lymphomas are heterogeneous, comprising three grades of follicular lymphoma, small lymphocytic lymphoma, Waldenstöm macroglobulinemia, marginal zone lymphoma, and most recently, possibly low proliferative mantle cell lymphoma. These lymphomas are characterized by a high responsiveness to chemotherapy or immunochemotherapy; however, in most cases, conventional therapy might not o...

Subarcminute resolution images of Cas A at 74 and 333 MHz are presented. Comparison with each other and with higher frequency observations indicates that the spectral index of its nonthermal emission flattens below 333 MHz and that the effect is confined toward the central 19 of the source and is maximum at its center. The source of the flattening is unknown, although we show that the data are ...

The problem of factorization of a nonextensive probability distribution is discussed. It is shown that the correlation energy between the correlated subsystems in the canonical composite system can not be neglected even in the thermodynamic limit. In consequence, the factorization approximation should be employed carefully according to different systems. It is also shown that the zeroth law of ...

Experimental and computational methods of infrared microspectroscopy (IRI-MSP) and infrared spectral mapping (ISM) are presented. These methods are subsequently applied to the analysis of cirrhotic liver tissue. The sensitivity of infrared spectral mapping toward spectral changes caused by disease will be demonstrated. In addition, the excellent agreement between ISM data and histopathological ...

BACKGROUND Addition of the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab to chemotherapy (R-chemo) has been shown to improve response rates and progression-free survival in patients with indolent or mantle cell lymphoma. However, the impact of R-chemo on overall survival is unclear. We performed a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the efficacy of combined immunochemotherapy...
