Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma comprising of greater than 30% of adult non-Hodgkin Lymphomas. DLBCL represents a diverse set of lymphomas, defined as diffuse proliferation of large B lymphoid cells. Numerous cytogenetic studies including karyotypes and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), as well as morphological, biological, clinical,...

Scholarship on early Chinese theories of " language " regularly treats the term ming 名 (name) as the equivalent of " word. " But there is a significant difference between a " word " and a " name. " 1 Moreover, while a " word " is often understood to mean a unit of language that is identifiable in its sameness across speech and writing, there is reason to believe that a ming was mainly used to m...

BACKGROUND Some patients receiving mechanical ventilation experience an intensified need to communicate while their ability to do so is compromised as the endotracheal tube prevents speech. Although the use of a communication board to enhance communication with such patients has been suggested, few descriptive or empirical studies have addressed the content and format of these devices or of pat...

More than 4,300 human diseases caused by gene mutation have been reported. The responsible genes for these diseases including hereditary disorders and cancers are being investigated as one of the most important aspects of the human genome project. To date, approximately 1,100 diseases have been mapped to particular chromosomal regions and their responsible genes have been identied for over 500 ...

More than 4,200 human diseases including hereditary disorders and cancers have been reported to be caused by gene mutation. The genes responsible for these diseases are being investigated as one of the most important aspects of the human genome project. To date, approximately 1,100 diseases have been mapped to particular chromosomal regions and their responsible genes have been identi ed for ov...

We present a statistical model of Japanese unknown words consisting of a set of length and spelling models classified by the character types that constitute a word. The point is quite simple: different character sets should be treated differently and the changes between character types are very important because Japanese script has both ideograms like Chinese (kanji) and phonograms like English...

As Professor Ghalioungui has intimated,' my studies of the dental pathology revealed in collections of ancient Egyptian dry skulls have caused me to reject the current belief that an organized dental profession existed in the time of the Old Kingdom. The arguments I have adduced to support my contention have been set out in a series of articles published during the past few years.2 However, sin...

Software AG of Far East (SAGFE) has established various system environments peculiar to Japanese use since Japanese Kanji was supported on ADABAS for the first time in 1978. The supporting of Japanese language, which started by putting the character strings on a special Kanji printer, has recently been improving with the development of terminal equipment and controllers. This paper describes th...

In producing diagrams for a variety of contexts, people use a small set of schematic figures to convey certain context specific concepts, where the forms themselves suggest meanings. These same schematic figures are interpreted appropriately in context. Three examples will support these conclusions: lines, crosses, and blobs in sketch maps; bars and lines in graphs; and arrows in diagrams of co...
