AIM To assess the consistency in the histological reporting of anal intraepithelial neoplasia (AIN) among experienced histopathologists. METHOD One hundred anal biopsy specimens were retrieved from archival material at St Mark's Hospital, London and graded by five histopathologists according to criteria outlined by Fenger (six point scale, ranging from normal to invasive carcinoma). RESULTS...

We provide the first two-party protocol allowing Alice and Bob to evaluate privately even against active adversaries any completely positive, tracepreserving map F ∈ L(Ain ⊗ Bin) → L(Aout ⊗ Bout), given as a quantum circuit, upon their joint quantum input state ρin ∈ D(Ain ⊗ Bin). Our protocol leaks no more to any active adversary than an ideal functionality for F provided Alice and Bob have th...

A 76-year-old woman with a history of lumbar fracture and marked proteinuria, bilateral pitting edema, malaise and pruritus was referred for an evaluation of an impaired renal function. A renal biopsy led to a tentative diagnosis of acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) with minimal change disease caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Following the discontinuation of oral NSAIDs...

let $a$ be an arbitrary banach algebra and $varphi$ a homomorphism from $a$ onto $bbb c$. our first purpose in this paper is to give some equivalent conditions under which guarantees a $varphi$-mean of norm one. then we find some conditions under which there exists a $varphi$-mean in the weak$^*$ cluster of ${ain a; |a|=varphi(a)=1}$ in $a^{**}$.
