Primary visceral involvement by Kaposi's sarcoma in the immunocompetent adult American population is extremely rare. Six cases of primary Kaposi's sarcoma of the lung have been previously reported; all four patients in whom immune function was evaluated had abnormalities. A case of primary Kaposi's

Immunocompetence of the Iowa State University S1 White Leghorn chicken line was studied. This line was divided into eight sublines based upon erythrocyte antigen B (Ea-B) allele (B1B1 or B19B19), antibody response to glutamic acid60-alanine30-tyrosine10 (GAT) (high or low), and response to Rous

Data from 20 years of cancer registration in Harare (Zimbabwe) are used to investigate the risk of cancer in the white population of the city (of European origin), relative to that in blacks (of African origin). In the absence of information on the respective populations-at-risk, we calculated odds

Circadian variations in the frequency of mitoses and the number of nuclei labed with thymidine-H3 in sarcoma-37 of mice were investigated. It was shown that the circadian rhythm of mitotic activity was composed of diurnal variations in the frequency of labeled and unlabeled mitoses. The G2-phase of

Agaricus bisporus white button mushroom (WBM) is widely consumed in most countries for its culinary properties. Recently, its dietary intake has been shown to protect against breast cancer. Mushroom polysaccharides are known for their immunomodulating and antitumor properties; however, little is

With the increase of survival rates of pediatric cancer patients, the number of children facing potential cognitive sequelae has grown. Previous adult studies suggest that white matter (WM) microstructural changes may contribute to cognitive impairment. This study aims to investigate WM

OBJECTIVE This study examined occupational risks for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and soft-tissue sarcoma among African American and White men. METHODS Race-specific multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted using data from a large US population-based case-control

Survival, body weight, and humoral immune response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were measured in 256 chicks of the Iowa State University S1 Leghorn line. The chicks were produced from breeders selected for serological Ea-B blood type (B1 or B19), high or low humoral immune response to the amino

Silky Fowl is a natural mutant with hyperpigmentation of various internal tissues. Although the mechanism of hyperpigmentation remains unclear, recent studies have shown that the abnormal migration of melanoblast and the absence of environmental barrier molecules are responsible for the

BACKGROUND While paraneoplastic leukocytosis is a common phenomenon in solid tumors, extreme elevations of white blood counts (WBC) in the range of more than 100,000/μl are uncommon in patients with non-hematologic malignancies. Leukocytosis with mature neutrophils due to a granulocyte

In this study we confirmed that combinations of toxic or detoxified endotoxin with muramyl dipeptide (MDP) induced much more necrosis of transplanted Meth A sarcoma in mice than toxic endotoxin alone. Detoxified endotoxin and MDP alone had little antitumor effects. We investigated whether these

Soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a heterogeneous group of uncommon tumors that show a broad range of differentiation that may reflect etiologic distinction. Routine tabulations of STS are not morphology-specific. Further, the lack of inclusion of sarcomas arising in all organs in most standard
