Giant cell tumor of bone.

The role of enhanced fluorodeoxyglucose F 18 uptake of giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) should be mentioned in an overview such as that reported by van der Heijden et al., with regard not only to the response to denosumab treatment for unresectable GCTB but also to the clinical implications for the diagnosis of this disease.

Bone marrow cell transplantation improves cardiac, autonomic, and functional indexes in acute anterior myocardial infarction patients (Cardiac Study).

Aims: Bone marrow (BM) stem cells improve cardiac function and outcome after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI). In this randomized controlled trial, the effects of intracoronary transfer of autologous BM cells on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and volumes (2D-echo and resting SPECT), stroke volume [impedance cardiography (ICG)], autonomic control [heart rate variability (HRV)], baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), and exercise tolerance (cardiopulmonary exercise test) were assessed in post-MI patients. Exercise stress SPECT was also performed.

Using biographies to illustrate the intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics of science.

We describe using biographies in teaching a course about the intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics of science, with an emphasis on the professional and personal experiences of women in science. In our course, Life of a Psychologist: Experiences of Women in Science, students examine biographies and scientific research written by female psychologists across the main research areas of psychology. Biographies by these female psychologists and research on the experiences of women scientists are used to highlight the intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics of science.
