It is not just the Congress Party which has found new energy in 2018. After months of dithering, N. Chandrababu Naidu broke ranks with the NDA and aligned with the Congress. For a party formed with anti-Congressism as its primary driver, this development, although with disastrous results in Telangana, indicates the willingness of regional parties to team up with the Grand Old Party. The BJP may seek comfort that such a development cements its position as the dominant pole in politics. But such arguments will come to a naught if it becomes electorally counterproductive.

One particular freedom that has come under fire is the freedom of practising one’s own religion. Personal freedom is very often associated with secularism, which, as received from the Western canon, is the separation of church from state. Sometimes secularism is also seen as a negation of religion completely. Indeed, many religious leaders taught that secular people do not believe in gods. But in my view, even if you are a temple-going Hindu or a devout Muslim, you can still be secular.

In the last few days, the allies of the BJP, who once ate humble pie and remained in the coalition despite confessing in private that humiliation was a constant element in their relationship with the saffron party, have forced its leadership to come to the negotiating table and agree to the partners’ terms. Recent events within the ruling National Democratic Alliance indicate the changed equations within the saffron fold in comparison to 2014, when almost every party not in ideological opposition to the BJP was eager to be part of the bandwagon, and on the BJP’s terms.

“I’ll name them for you. Vilis Hazners, in Albany, New York. Hazners is alleged to be a Latvian SS man. He’s admitted it. Hazner’s is a deportation proceeding before an immigration judge. Then there’s Karlis Detlavs in Baltimore. Also a deportation proceeding. Detlavs was Latvian policeman.”

401. Again, I had volunteered and did prepare a draft Report on the entire process. I was mindful that, although we each individually seemed to have reached more or less the same views and possibly the same result in our work, I could not always hope to adequately represent the exact views or approaches, the nuances or the distinctions of each individual Panel member.

c. No member of the Human Resources Subcommittee or the Board allowed any personal knowledge of or connection to or with Mr Isaacs or any other person to compete against or overwhelm their duty to conduct an independent and impartial investigation in his or her capacity as a member of the Human Resources Subcommittee or the Board and thus no person can be found to have subordinated their duty to Equal Education to their personal interests. No conflict of interests was entertained or indulged.

In our previous studies, we reported that in vivo fusion between intestinal epithelial cells and macrophages (MФs) yields hybrid offspring retaining epithelial characteristics defined by their gene expression profile (12). On the basis of this report, and recognizing that MФs are inherently migratory, we sought to determine physiologic relevance of cell fusion to tumor heterogeneity by enhanced somatic diversity of neoplastic hybrids, through increased migratory or invasive properties, and by instilling a selective metastatic advantage. Herein, we present a systematic analysis of MФ–neoplastic cell fusion (referred to as MФ–cancer cell fusion or fusion hybrid) using ex vivo and in vivo murine cancer models to provide evidence that hybrids acquire functional MФ-associated phenotypes that enhance tumor progression. Analyses of human tumor biopsies and peripheral blood reveal a novel circulating hybrid cell (CHC) population (defined as cells harboring hematopoietic and epithelial/tumor properties), whose numbers correlate with disease stage and predict overall outcome, thereby representing a biomarker for patient stratification.

You must receive meningococcal vaccines at least 2 weeks before your first dose of SOLIRIS if you have not already had this vaccine. If your doctor decided that urgent treatment with SOLIRIS is needed, you should receive meningococcal vaccination as soon as possible. If you have not been vaccinated and SOLIRIS therapy must be initiated immediately, you should also receive 2 weeks of antibiotics with your vaccinations. If you had a meningococcal vaccine in the past, you might need additional vaccination before starting SOLIRIS. Call your doctor or get emergency medical care right away if you get any of these signs and symptoms of a meningococcal infection: headache with nausea or vomiting, headache and fever, headache with a stiff neck or stiff back, fever, fever and a rash, confusion, muscle aches with flu-like symptoms, and eyes sensitive to light.

340. I do not find that Achmat erred in formulating the Terms of Reference to the Human Resources Subcommittee or in attaching, to those Terms of Reference, the full submission made to him by Hasson which set out the details of Hasson’s concerns.

Cell fusion between immune and neoplastic cells initiating tumorigenesis and affecting progression is an untested, century-old hypothesis (9, 10) that has been only circumstantially examined (10, 12, 17, 31, 33–37). Reports of cells located in tumors containing components of both immune and neoplastic cells are increasingly frequent (1, 10–13, 16, 17, 19, 35, 38–44), although without strong evidence of etiologic mechanism or physiologic relevance. Early in vitro studies revealed that cell fusion hybrids displayed reduced cell doubling times relative to their genetic burden (45). More recently, it was suggested that tumor cell fusions gain shorter cell cycling times compared to either of their parental cells (46, 47). These divergent views add to the controversy of whether cell fusion provides a selective advantage to evolving tumors. Moreover, description of MФ gene expression in metastatic cancer cells as evidence that fusion propagates aggressive metastatic spread of cancer (31, 42) is presented without substantial proof that these cells arise from a fusion event, further diminishing enthusiasm for this mechanism. Despite this, MФ–neoplastic cell fusion does provide an intriguing mechanism for how neoplastic cells rapidly gain discrete cellular behaviors to facilitate metastases and to propagate intratumoral heterogeneity. Before this study, experimental results demonstrating in vivo tumor cell fusion with MФs or investigating a function role for cell fusion in tumor progression were undetermined. Here, we demonstrate that cell fusion occurs spontaneously in a number of systems. Cell fusion can contribute to the generation of diverse neoplastic clones with altered phenotypes, implicating it as a mechanism for gain of intratumoral heterogeneity. This finding may reveal insight into diverse tumor cell pathophysiology that underlies treatment resistance, progression, and posttreatment tumor recurrence in human cancer.

“The blood component separator helps in maximum utilisation of blood and is crucial during emergencies. It is more important for PMCH to have the facility because the hospital caters to a large number of people from Dhanbad, Giridih, Jamtara, Dumka, Gooda and Pakur,” 55-year-old Gopal Bhattacharya said.
