Hormonal status of women with benign endometrial hyperplastic lesions

Osipova AA , Matveeva VA , Samoilova AV , Gunin AG

Retrospective randomized blinded study was carried out to find differences in hormone levels in blood between groups of patients with normal endometrium and with endometrial benign hyperplastic lesions. Hospital cases were randomly selected from journals of admittance from 1997 to 2005 years. Only patient name, age and clinical diagnosis, in which endometrial histology was reflected, could be viewed at the time of cases selection. There were to groups of cases selected, with a...

Papillary carcinoma of the thyroid and cervical teratoma: incidental association?

Alilouch Imane , Kamel Farah , Mhamdi Zineb , Rifai Kaoutar , Iraqi Hinde , Gharbi Mohamed Elhassan

Introduction: Teratomas are complex malformative tumors defined by the presence of tissues derived from the 3 embryonic layers. They can be mature or immature, depending on their degree of differentiation. They are most often found in the sacrococcygeal region and the gonads. Cervical location is exceptional (4%).Observation: We report the case of a 45-year-old patient who presented with a right cervical swelling that progressively increased in volume. T...

mTOR pathway activation in papillary thyroid carcinomas: associations and correlations

Tavares Catarina , Coelho Maria , Melo Miguel , Rocha Adriana , Pestana Ana , Batista Rui , Salgado Catarina , Eloy Catarina , Rios Elisabete , Ferreira Luciana , Sobrinho-Simoes M , Soares Paula

Background: Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a downstream effector of the PI3K/AKT pathway. It can be activated by diverse stimuli, such as growth factors, nutrients, energy, stress signals and signaling pathways such as PI3K, MAPK and AMPK, in order to control cell growth, proliferation and survival. The active form of mTOR (pmTOR) may form two distinct complexes: mTORC1 that activates S6K1 and 4EBP1 which are involved in mRNA translation; and mTORC2 that activates PKC...

Responding to reviewer comments

Ball Stephen

Preparing and submitting a paper is a lot of work: designing the study; collecting the data; analysing the results; writing the manuscript. Then, depending on your supervisor or co-workers, writing the manuscript again. The last thing anyone wants is rejection. Even when accompanied by positive comments and useful steers on how best to improve things, it can feel as though the peer review process is not fair. Put simply, the world does not understand. While this may be true, i...

1776: revolution in liverpool: Matthew Dobson discovers hyperglycaemia

Macfarlane Ian

Mattew Dobson (1735–1784) was a Liverpool physician who was recognised with FRS for his numerous and varied publications. He investigated a patient with diabetes, which at the time was considered to be a kidney disorder, associated with excessive sweet tasting urine. His experiments showed that the sweet urine, on evaporation, contained white granular material indistinguishable from sugar. However, he also made the crucial observation that the blood serum was also sweet t...
