canarium/neoplasms

The relationship between pet bird keeping and lung cancer according to exposure to tobacco smoking was investigated in a case-control study in hospitals of New York City and Washington, DC, USA. Newly diagnosed lung cancer cases (n = 887) aged 40-79 years were compared with 1350 controls with

A 1-year-old male canary (Serinus canaria, Jibber breed), with a protuberance on the left tibia was referred to the clinic. The bird was not able to use the affected foot to stand on its perch. Results of radiographs revealed a radio-opaque hard tissue mass. The canary was euthanatized and submitted

A 1-year-old, male canary (Serinus canaria) with a history of an enlarged abdomen of several days duration died acutely and was submitted for necropsy. Results revealed a yellow to tan hard mass, 2 cm in diameter, adherent to the cloacal wall. Histologically, the mass was composed of interlacing

Osteoma is an uncommon bone tumor in avian species and other animals. A 2-year-old male canary (Serinus canaria) with a history of an oval mass in the left wing for several months was examined. Radiographs showed a radio-opaque mass. Upon the bird's owner request, the canary was euthanatized and

We present the case of a left tibia with an outgrowth at its distal metaphyseal/epiphyseal end, composed of cancellous bone, surrounding a destructive process that, on radiological examination, reaches the tibiotalar joint surface. The cancellous bone of the outgrowth is well preserved and is in

Synthetic biomaterials implanted in the body induce a foreign body reaction characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. In this issue of Cancer Research, Oakes and colleagues used biomaterial implants and their associated immunologic activity to develop a "metastasis sensor"

Schizogyne sericea (Asteraceae) is a halophytic shrub endemic to the Canary Islands and traditionally employed as analgesic, astringent, anti-inflammatory, and vulnerary. A comprehensive phytochemical investigation was conducted on the flowering aerial parts by analyzing both essential oil

Methanolic extracts of eight subspecies of genus Argyranthemum were evaluated against brine shrimps, human cancer cell lines, malarial parasites and microorganisms under in vitro conditions. In the shrimp assay, samples of A. adauctum ssp. adauctum, A. adauctum ssp. erythrocarpon and A. frutetescens

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is that of describing the death rate attributable to tobacco on the Canary Islands throughout the 1975-1994 period. METHODS Deaths by age, sex and cause from 1975 to 1994 were obtained from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics (Natural Movement of

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in Spain. The main objective of screening programs is the early detection, or even prevention of the development, of colon cancer, as well as the mortality that results from it. If caught early, it is easy to treat and the chances of cure

Vascular tumors and disorders, like angiomatosis, are rarely described in cetacean species. A retrospective histological study was carried out on lung samples from 35 common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) stranded in the Canary Islands coasts looking for morphological vascular changes and likely

BACKGROUND The route of administration and extent of helper T-cell activation are factors that are likely to be important for the development of effective cancer vaccines. In order to optimize CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses, the immunologic effects of direct lymph node (LN) injections

Aerial parts of Tanacetum oshanahanii collected at "Jardín Canario Viera y Clavijo", Tanacetum ptarmiciflorum collected at Los Moriscos (Tejeda), and Tanacetum ferulaceum var. latipinnum collected at Anden Verde (Agaete) in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, afforded three sesquiterpenes related to

BACKGROUND Breast cancer mortality and incidence rates in the Canary Islands, and particularly in Gran Canaria, are higher than those in the rest of Spain. OBJECTIVE A case-control study was designed to assess the role of differential fatty acid intakes and olive oil consumption on breast cancer
