Comparison of the biomarkers for targeted therapies in primary extra-mammary and mammary Paget's disease.
( Wiley Open Access , 2020 , Article)Primary Extra-mammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a very rare cutaneous adenocarcinoma affecting anogenital or axillary regions. It is characterized by a prolonged course with recurrences and eventually distant metastatic ... -
A comparison of the direct and indirect methods of estimating skeletal height from tibial fragments in black South Africans.
( E Schweizerbart Science Publishers , 2020 , Article)The estimation of maximum bone length from its fragments is important in forensic anthropology as these length estimates can be used to estimate the total skeletal height (TSH), and thereby stature, of unknown skeletal ... -
