Validity of needle core biopsy in the histological characterisation of mammary lesions

2006

Summary Over the last few years, there has been an enormous increase in the use of needle core biopsy (CB) for the histopathological characterisation of suspect lesions of the breast. The aim of this study was to verify the diagnostic reliability of CB by comparing the histological results obtained with the use of this technique with those obtained from the whole of the surgically resected specimen. We studied 198 out of 426 patients with clinically and/or radiologically suspect breast lesions. We found correspondence between the histological examination of the whole of the excised specimen and that of the CB in 94.9% of the cases of infiltrating carcinoma and in 71.4% of those involving du…

Dynamic aphasia and the generation of language

2004

Severely reduced propositional speech in the context of intact nominal language skills (i.e., repetition, naming, comprehension, and reading) is the hallmark of dynamic aphasia (Luria, 1970). Recent evidence suggests there may be different types of dynamic aphasia as some patients do not produce any response on verbal generation tasks, whilst others are able to perform normally on verbal genera- tion tasks. For example, Robinson and colleagues (Robinson, Blair, & Cipolotti, 1998; Robinson, Shallice, & Cipolotti, 2004) reported two dynamic aphasics who failed to produce a verbal response when many verbal response options were activated by a stimulus, but not when a dominant response was avai…
