PET/CT in the Staging and Treatment Response Assessment of Patients With Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (EMZL) is essentially an FDG‐avid disease. PET/CT improves the precision in the response assessment compared to contrast‐enhanced CT. ABSTRACT 18Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is the standard imaging modality in lymphoma.

Worth the Effort: Lessons for Discovery and Care From an Unusual Case of Gorlin Syndrome

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gorlin‐Goltz Syndrome (GGS) is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder encompassing a diverse range of clinical manifestations, including congenital anomalies and predisposition to cancer. Pathogenic variants in PTCH1 and SUFU account for up to 79% and 6% of cases, respectively. Currently, an estimated 15%–27% of individuals with a clinical

Structured psychosocial stress and the US obesity epidemic [PDF]

arXiv, 2003
We examine the accelerating 'obesity epidemic' in the US from the perspective of generalized language-of-thought arguments relating a cognitive hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to an embedding context of structured psychosocial stress. From a Rate Distortion perspective, the obesity epidemic is an image of ratcheting social pathology -- indexed by ...

Steroid Receptors and Vertebrate Evolution [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
Considering that life on earth evolved about 3.7 billion years ago, vertebrates are young, appearing in the fossil record during the Cambrian explosion about 542 to 515 million years ago. Results from sequence analyses of genomes from bacteria, yeast, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates indicate that receptors for adrenal steroids (aldosterone ...
