neurological signs and symptoms are commonly associated with both hodgkin’s and non-hodgkin’s lymphoma and are mostly attributed to either direct lymphomatous involvement of the nervous system, either as a result of extension to the spinal cord or nerves, or due to infiltration by lymphoma cells and drug toxicity. guillain-barre syndrome and its variants have been reported very infrequently in ...

purpose: to report a case of lacrimal sac lymphoma presenting with nasolacrimal obstruction. patient and findings: a 35-year-old woman presented with epiphoria and swelling of the left lacrimal sac area and cervical lymphadenopathy. she had undergone dacryocystorhinostomy (dcr) 6 months before. computed tomography demonstrated a lacrimal sac mass involving the nasal cavity. histopathologic exam...

a male patient with acute renal failure (arf) due to large b-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma infiltration of kidney is presented. the diagnosis was suspected because of coincidence of arf and tumor lysis syndrome non-responsive to conservative renal therapies. a renal biopsy confirmed diagnosis and appropriate chemotherapy led to complete improvement of renal function.

mast cells play an important role in a variety of inflammatory diseases, particularly asthma and atopy. peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (pparγ) is a member of the large nuclear hormone  receptor  transcription  factor  superfamily, and  has  been  recently implicated in the anti-inflammatory response. to investigate a possible role for pparγ in human mast cells, we studied the ...

one of the emerging therapeutic strategies for targeted treatment of most cancers is the use of immunotoxins which are fusion proteins consisted of a targeting and a toxic moieties. we previously showed that the recombinant a254-gmcsf fusion protein selectively kills acute myeloblastic leukemia cells which harbor a large number of granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (gmcsf) recepto...

We analyze the potential of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to search for excited spin-12 electrons and neutrinos. Assuming a SU(2)L⊗U(1)Y invariant model, we study in detail the single production of excited electrons and neutrinos and respective backgrounds through the reactions pp → e+e−V and e±νV with V = γ, W , or Z. We show that the LHC will be able to tighten considerably the direct ...

The large rapidity interval available at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) offers an arena in which the QCD aspects of diffraction may be explored in an environment free of gap survival complications using events with multiple rapidity gaps.
