Local Control of Primary Dural Central Nervous System Lymphoma Achieved With Radiotherapy.

Primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL) are extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) confined to the brain, leptomeninges, eyes, or spinal cord. Primary leptomeningeal lymphoma (PLML), without parenchymal involvement, synchronous cerebrospinal, or systemic disease is rare. The estimated incidence of PLML is 7% of all PCNSL, which in turn accounts for about 2% of all primary brain tumors and 0.

Simultaneous Metastasis from Cervical Cancer to the Kidney and Paraspinal Muscle: A Case Report.

Metastases of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix to atypical locations may occur in approximately 12% of patients diagnosed with distant metastases, with the kidney and paraspinal muscle as one of the rarest sites of spread. A 34-year-old woman with a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix stage IIIB, treated with chemotherapy and radiation, presented 21 months after completion of therapy, with two sites of simultaneous metastases (kidney and paraspinal muscle). No other evidence of disease was noted.

Biological diversity in the patent system.

Biological diversity in the patent system is an enduring focus of controversy but empirical analysis of the presence of biodiversity in the patent system has been limited. To address this problem we text mined 11 million patent documents for 6 million Latin species names from the Global Names Index (GNI) established by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and Encyclopedia of Life (EOL). We identified 76,274 full Latin species names from 23,882 genera in 767,955 patent documents.
