Tools like narrow band imaging (Olympus, Center Valley, Pennsylvania, United States), confocal laser microscopy (Mauna Kea Technologies, Paris, France), and chromoendoscopy (sometimes with magnification) have been used to successfully predict the pathology of diminutive colon polyps [1,2] as well as the presence of dysplasia in Barrett’s esophagus [3–8]. Despite numerous publications demonstrat...

Inconspicous penis refers to a constellation of conditions that make the penis look diminutive and small. This could be secondary to short penile shaft often termed as micropenis. But more commonly, this inconspicuous appearance is secondary to other causes ranging from congenital conditions such as penoscrotal webbing or megaprepuce, developmental conditions like prepubic adiposity that overha...

Tumor-initiating cells are a diminutive subpopulation of stem cells that have ability of long term self-renewal and generation of varied traits of tumor cell population. Understanding the concept of tumor-initiating cells may have a great implicative intimation for our comprehension of cancer pathobiology and for the delineation of new therapies directed towards these stem cells. The present re...
