adnexal tumors (ats) are primary skin tumors with benign or rarely, malignant behavior. they have been classified based on differentiation towards hair follicle, sebaceous, apocrine or eccrine gland. few large-scale studies have focused on ats. to determine the prevalence of ats and to assess clinical and histopathological trend of ats. a retrospective descriptive study of all ats diagnosed in ...

A newly reErranged 2(3.20)abeotaxane diterpenoid with a unique 6/1016 skeleton was isolated from the bark of the Chillese yew, Taxus mairei. The structure was established as being 7fi,13(M-diacetoxy-2or,5a,10fi-trihydrexy-9keto-2(3 -20)abeotaxane on the basis of 1-D and 2-D N"M data. The relative stereochemistry was defined from the results of a NOESY experiment. This is the first reported isol...

On the basis of analysis of ancient DNA from early European farmers, Haak et al. (Reports, 11 November 2005, p. 1016) argued for the Paleolithic ancestry of modern Europeans. We stress that the study is more limited in scope than the authors claim, in part because not all of the skeletal samples date to the time of the Neolithic transition in a given area of Europe.

The vibrational spectrum of Mg2.5VMoO8 obtained by quantum mechanical simulation is compared with the experimentally observed Raman spectrum. This simulation suggests that the observed band at 1016 cm(-1) is attributed to the Mo=O-Mg stretching from two-coordinate oxygen atoms that are adjacent to Mg2+ cation vacancies. Extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy supports the structur...

We investigate a modification in the action of inflaton due to noncommutativity leads to a nonstandard initial vacuum and oscillatory corrections in the initial power spectrum. We show that the presence of these oscillations causes a drop in the WMAP χ2 about ∆χ2 ∼ 8.5. As a bonus, from the parameter estimation done in this work, we show that the noncommutative parameters can be precisely bound...

In the Ticlid or Plavix Post-Stents (TOPPS) trial, 1016 patients undergoing successful coronary stent placement were randomized to receive aspirin and either ticlopidine or clopidogrel. In this trial, the dosages and regimens of ticlopidine and clopidogrel resembled more closely those used in most catheterization laboratories than did the two previous randomized trials comparing ticlopidine and...
