RAPID PROGRESSION OF A LOW-GRADE FOLLICULAR LYMPHOMA WITH FOCI OF HIGH PROLIFERATION INDEX AND BCL6 REARRANGEMENT INTO A DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA: A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Rapid progression of a low-grade follicular lymphoma with foci of high proliferation index and BCL6 rearrangement into a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma: A case report and review of the literature

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is a common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, characterized by the translocation t(14;18) IGH/BCL2 that usually runs an indolent course.It has been known to transform into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).While the exact mechanism of this transformation is unknown, several contributing genetic changes have been identified.

Diversity of parasites in wild Astronotus ocellatus (Perciformes, Cichlidae), an ornamental and food fish in Brazil

ABSTRACT The community composition of parasites was characterized in Astronotus ocellatus from a tributary of the Amazon River, northern Brazil.The prevalence was 87.9%, and a total of 526,052 parasites were collected, with a mean of 15,941 parasites per host.Nine taxa of ecto- and endo-parasites were identified, but Ichthyophthirius multifiliis wa

Measuring Communication in Parallel Communicating Finite Automata

Systems of deterministic finite automata communicating by sending their states upon request are investigated, when the amount of communication is restricted.The computational power and decidability properties are studied for the case of returning centralized systems, when the number of necessary communications during the Tatami Cushion computations
