Introduction: Keratinization may be a vulnerable aid in predicting response to therapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods: The presence or absence of keratin in biopsy specimens was correlated with tumor behavior, locoregional control, patterns of failure, and survival of patients irradiated for nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Results: Patients with keratinizing squamous-cell cancers (World Health Organization...
A small earthenware statuette was evacuated from the votive-depot of acropolis of Gortys, an ancient town in South-Crete/Greece. This ex-voto is dated approximately 7th to 6th century BC and very probably represents some symptoms of a stroke, especially the left facial palsy and the contracture of the left arm. Since the Minoan time until today, people of Crete have been offering ex-votos to gods...

This article describes a woman with hemorrhagic telangiectasia, or Osler-Weber-Rendu disease, with recurrent nosebleeds despite prior septal dermoplasty and laser treatments.

Bilateral studies are important, even when the epitaxis seems...

To investigate whether short-term improvement in metabolic control also affects ABR-responses, we compared ABR-latencies in...
