The genetic diversity of the Derby serotype of Salmonella enterica in Spain was examined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Out of 24 identified PFGE profiles, a major clone was detected in 19% of strains from humans, 52% from food, and 62% from swine. This clone (clone 1) was isolated from pork products, suggesting swine as its source.

Distance of Lymph Nodes From the Tumor: An Important Feature in Colorectal Cancer Specimens.
Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine ; An Important Feature in Colorectal Cancer Specimens The nodal status is a major prognostic factor in colorectal carcinoma and is a part of all major staging systems.[1-3] The number of lymph nodes required for an adequate staging, however, has long been a matter of controversy; some series suggest

Density of intranodal lymphatics and VEGF-C expression in B-cell lymphoma and reactive lymph nodes
Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica ; Abstract: Lymphatic vasculature in solid tumors may serve as the pathway for metastatic spread of the cancer to the regional lymph nodes and to distant organs. Controversy still exists whether tumors metastasize through existing lymphatics or through newly formed vessels (lymphangiogenesis). The
Detection of tolomerase expression in mediastinal lymph nodes of patients with lung cancer
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine ; Mediastinal lymph nodes are the most common site of tumor spread in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We hypothesized that micrometastatic disease could be detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) in
