OBJECTIVE To conduct an analysis of the frequency of oral lesions in biopsies over a 14-year period in the Oral Medicine, Oral Surgery and Implantology Unit. MATERIAL AND METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of biopsies removed from 1995-2009, recording data regarding age, sex, location of the lesions, biopsy types, anatomical and pathological diagnosis and definitive diagnosis. RESUL...

BACKGROUND Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6), a naturally occurring polyphosphorylated carbohydrate, has been reported to have significant in vivo and in vitro anticancer activity against numerous tumors. However, the molecular mechanism of the anticancer effect of IP6 has not been fully elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using K-562 human leukemia cells we analysed the induction of the erythroi...

The expected rates for charm-tagged jet photoproduction are evaluated for a number of tagging procedures, and some of the physics potential is discussed. Charm in jets is tagged using D’s, μ’s, or tracks from secondary vertices which might be identified in a microvertex detector. We find high expected event rates, leading to the possibility of placing strong constraints on the kinematics of cha...

Hitherto, chronic kidney disease (CKD) was almost always the diagnosis made by most clinicians when patients present with elevated serum creatinine in clinical settings Ghana. The majority of studies Ghana have therefore focused on CKD. There is anecdotal evidence that acute injury (AKI) mostly underdiagnosed settings. proportion reporting AKI currently unknown hospital admissions according to ...

BACKGROUND An enhanced meningitis surveillance network was established across the meningitis belt of sub-Saharan Africa in 2003 to rapidly collect, disseminate, and use district weekly data on meningitis incidence. Following 10 years' experience with enhanced surveillance that included the introduction of a group A meningococcal conjugate vaccine, PsA-TT (MenAfriVac), in 2010, we analyzed the d...
