The incidence of phylloides breast tumors is less than 1% in the population affected by breast cancers. The age at higher risk is between 35 and 45 years. These neoplasms are characterized by a proliferation of mesenchimal and epithelial cells. We present a rare case of giant malignant phylloides tumor (28 x 21 x 15 cm) with a complet substitution of the gland. The clinical presentation of phyl...

Leaf resistance for water vapor (total diffusion resistance minus boundary layer resistance), transpiration, and leaf temperature were measured in attached leaves of greenhouse-grown Xanthium strumarium L. plants that had been pretreated for 72 hours with high (40 C day, 35 C night), or low (10 C day, 5 C night) air temperatures. Measurements were made in a wind tunnel at light intensity of 1.1...

CM: Problem Management is a detailed problem management process model to be utilised within corrective maintenance. It has been developed at ABB and evaluated for its industrial relevance within 17 non-ABB organisations. In this paper, we present the evaluation results of CM: Problem Management. Our primary goal is to confirm its industrial relevance. Our secondary goal is to establish current ...

We report that protease nexin-1 (PN-1), a serine protease inhibitor known to have neurite-promoting effects, is made by Schwann cells in tissue culture. Three modalities have been used to demonstrate the presence of PN-1 in Schwann cell cultures. Immunostaining of the cultures with anti-PN-1 antibody gives positive staining over cells and matrix. Western blots of Schwann cell conditioned medium...

The present investigation on the effect of plant spacing and foliar nutrition growth physiological parameters tuberose (Polianthes L.) cultivar Prajwal was carried out in Department Floriculture Landscape Architecture, HC&RI, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Nadu. experiment designed following principle factorial randomized block design with four spacings (S1-25 x 25, S2- 15 20,S...

The first case of cutaneous clear cell perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) with negative HMB-45 marker is presented. The tumor was a nodule 3x2 cm in size, located on the right foot in a 60-year-old man. The lesion consisted of large irregularly shaped cells with clear cytoplasm, negative for S-100 protein, HMB-45, Melan-A, pancytokeratin, epithelial membrane antigen and CAM5.2. Multif...

The study was commenced in a compulsion toaccomplish successful approach developing commercially viable polyploidy variety Jasminum sambac. Rooted cuttings of J. sambac cv. Ramanathapuram Gundumalli were treated with different concentrations colchicine (0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.20% and 0.25%) for 48 hours. survival sprouting rates the treatments determined after 45 days treatment phenotypic stoma...

Carcinomas arising from thyroglossal duct remnant cysts (TGDCs) are rare, without well-defined management and staging criteria. All TGDCs (n = 685) diagnosed between 2005 and 2015 were retrospectively reviewed, with 22 carcinomas identified (3.2 % incidence). Twenty-two patients (17 females, 5 males), aged 12-64 years (mean 39.9 years; median 39 years) were identified. An anterior, superior mid...
