Context: Developed in conjunction with molecular and progression data, the sequence classification schema for endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN)/benign hyperplasia (BH) provides an easy to adopt and reproducible method for classification of endometrial biopsies.

Objective: To review current data supporting the use of BH/EIN to classify endometrial biopsies, and to discuss the hormone-driven endometrial sequence from anovulation/disordered proliferative endometrium through BH and EIN and their diagnostic difficulty.

Data Sources: A comprehensive review of EIN literature based on literature indexed by PubMed (National Library of Medicine) and Google Scholar.

Introduction: Critical values are reported to clinicians when laboratory values are life threatening and require immediate attention. To date no definitive critical value limit recommendations have been produced regarding therapeutic drug monitoring. Some laboratories choose to publish critical value lists online.

Background: Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) influences myeloid cell function. In this study we examined the role of myeloid cell HIF-1alpha on wound healing in vivo using a cell-specific knockout (KO) mouse model.

Materials And Methods: HIF-1alpha KO mice and wild-type (WT) controls received 8 mm full thickness dorsal dermal wounds.

In this paper we present the development of a magnetic moment reference material for low moment magnetic samples. We first conducted an inter-laboratory comparison to determine the most useful sample dimensions and magnetic properties for common instruments such as vibrating sample magnetometers (VSM), SQUIDs, and alternating gradient field magnetometers. The samples were fabricated and then measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer.
