The authors report a case of epidermoid tumor of the lateral ventricle. Epidermoid tumors are relatively uncommon intracranial lesions and the one situated in the lateral ventricle has not been reported in this country. A 42 year old house wife was admitted to Asahi Central Hospital on February 14,
Acalculia is defined as the inability to mentally manipulate numbers for simple calculations. It may occur in dementia, central nervous system (CNS) neoplasm, and stroke (Bermejo-Velasco and Castillo-Moreno, 2006). Lesions of the left parietal cortex are the principal cause. When acalculia occurs in

Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) is the protein component of telomerase complex. Evidence has accumulated showing that the nontelomeric functions of TERT are independent of telomere elongation. However, the mechanisms governing the interaction between TERT and its target genes are not clearly
