Gardner syndrome is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by the presence of colonic polyposis, osteomas and soft tissue tumors. We present a case of a man who was admitted for a relapse of adenocarcinoma of the rectum. CT-staging showed multiple locations of desmoid tumors and osteomas, with final diagnosis of Gardner syndrome. The follow-up CT, after surgery and chemotherapy, showed a r...

This commentary challenges a recently published perception that Dr. Le Roy Upson Gardner had not actually discovered in 1942 that inhaled chrysotile fibers could induce malignant neoplasia in mice. The handwritten laboratory notes and some of Dr. Gardner's slides have recently been found. They verify that the tumors he saw in the mice included truly malignant neoplasms. Gardner had by then also...

Dietrich, 1976): however, background staining is high and variable. Alcian Blue with 0.05 M-MgCI, provided effective labelling of all cartilage glycosaminoglycans, including trace amounts of hyaluronate. The hyaluronate did not form a complex with Alcian Blue either in the absence of MgCI, or at molarities greater than 0.1. In the described scheme, hyaluronate was resolved from chondroitin and ...

The first recorded use ofpneumatic compression as a method to maintain blood pressure in hypovolaemic and hypotensive surgical patients was described by Crile in 1903. He used a pressurized rubber suit with good effect but acknowledged that the suits were prone to perish and leak. In 1909 he described its use in a patient with a cut throat and an unrecordable blood pressure where application of...

There is no universally accepted de nition for intelligence among educators and psychologists. One (early) viewpoint regards intelligence as a unitary trait which can be measured by a single IQ test score (such as Binet & Simon, 1905; Terman, 1925). This view has now largely been replaced by the multiple-intelligence conceptions (such as Guilford, 1967; Renzulli, 1986; Gardner, 1983). We have c...

Neuroblastoma, a disease of early childhood, may be present at birth (Wells, 1940; Potter and Parrish, 1942; Bodian, 1959; Gross, Farber and Martin, 1959; King, Storaasli and Bolande, 1961; Dargeon, 1962; Voorhess and Gardner 1962a). Such cases are more likely to undergo remission than those occurring later in life (Bodian, 1959). Since Isaacs, Medalie and Politzer (1959) first noted an increas...

Robby Gardner, one of the organizers of this Summer Research Institute, passed away on May 5, 19981. Robby led an extremely active mathematical life producing more than fifty papers, three books, eighteen masters students and thirteen Ph.D students. He seemed to spend a sizeable fraction of every year traveling to conferences and meetings around the world. I was continually amazed by the number...

The concept of the muscular dystrophies as primary degenerative diseases of muscle has been increasingly challenged in recent years (Fenichel et al., 1967; Gardner-Medwin et al., 1967; Munsat et al., 1972; Gallup and Dubowitz, 1973). Considerable support for the neurogenic hypothesis in muscular dystrophy has come from the results obtained using an electrophysiological technique for the estimat...
