EVALUATION OF PREMETASTATIC CHANGES IN LYMPH NODES(PN0) OF ORAL TONGUE TUMOUR: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY [VERSION 1; PEER REVIEW: 2 APPROVED]

Background: Tongue tumors show intra and inter-tumoral heterogenicity with high incidence, relapse and mortality rates necessitating further research.Recurrence/metastasis that occurs after surgical resection of primary cancer is often the reason for poor survival in these patients.Lymph nodes are the most common site of metastasis in tongue tumors

Resource selection is a key component in understanding the ecological processes underlying population dynamics, particularly for species such as northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), which are declining across their range in North America.There is a growing body of literature quantifying breeding season resource selection in bobwhite; however, w

The increase in energy demand, the scarcity of resources, as well as the adverse environmental impact of burning fossil fuels make it necessary to diversify the energy sources used.This also applies to the residential sector, which accounts for a significant proportion of global energy consumption.Particular attention should be paid to water heatin

The emergence of a traffic jam is considered to be a dynamical phase transition in a physics point of view; traffic flow becomes unstable and changes phase into a traffic jam when the car density exceeds a critical value.In order to verify this view, we have been performing a series of circuit experiments.In our previous work (2008 New J.Phys.10 03
