TL;DR: It is shown that most present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: west European hunter-gatherers, who contributed ancestry to all Europeans but not to Near Easterners; ancient north Eurasians related to Upper Palaeolithic Siberians; and early European farmers, who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harboured west Europeanhunter-gatherer related ancestry.
Abstract: We sequenced the genomes of a ∼7,000-year-old farmer from Germany and eight ∼8,000-year-old hunter-gatherers from Luxembourg and Sweden. We analysed these and other ancient genomes with 2,345 contemporary humans to show that most present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: west European hunter-gatherers, who contributed ancestry to all Europeans but not to Near Easterners; ancient north Eurasians related to Upper Palaeolithic Siberians, who contributed to both Europeans and Near Easterners; and early European farmers, who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harboured west European hunter-gatherer related ancestry. We model these populations' deep relationships and show that early European farmers had ∼44% ancestry from a 'basal Eurasian' population that split before the diversification of other non-African lineages.

TL;DR: The World Health Organization classification of the lymphoid neoplasms updated in 2008 represents a worldwide consensus on lymphoma diagnosis and is based in two major principles: the stratification of neoplasm according to their cell lineage and their derivation of precursor or mature cells and the definition of non-overlapping distinct diseases that are clinically relevant.
Abstract: The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of the lymphoid neoplasms updated in 2008 represents a worldwide consensus on lymphoma diagnosis and is based in two major principles: the stratification of neoplasms according to their cell lineage and their derivation of precursor or mature cells and the definition of non-overlapping distinct diseases that are clinically relevant. The identification of these diseases is based on a combination of morphology, immunophenotype, genetic, molecular, and clinical features. In addition to well-defined entities, the classification addresses open issues, such as provisional entities that correspond to categories for which there were insufficient evidence to support its recognition as distinct diseases at the time of publication and borderline categories with overlapping features between large B-cell lymphomas and Burkitt or Hodgkin lymphoma.

TL;DR: Children who have iron-deficiency anemia in infancy are at risk for long-lasting developmental disadvantage as compared with their peers with better iron status.
Abstract: Background. Iron-deficiency anemia has been associated with lowered scores on tests of mental and motor development in infancy. However, the long-term developmental outcome of infants with iron deficiency is unknown, because developmental tests in infancy do not predict later intellectual functioning. Methods. This study is a follow-up evaluation of a group of Costa Rican children whose iron status and treatment were documented in infancy. Eighty-five percent (163) of the 191 children in the original group underwent comprehensive clinical, nutritional, and psychoeducational assessments at five years of age. The developmental test battery consisted of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence, the Spanish version of the Woodcock—Johnson Psycho-Educational Battery, the Beery Developmental Test of Visual—Motor Integration, the Goodenough—Harris Draw-a-Man Test, and the Bruininks—Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. Results. All the children had excellent hematologic Status and growth ...

TL;DR: In this article, a tight-binding Hamiltonian was developed to account for the electronic properties of Si-based nanostructures, namely, Si graphene-like sheets and Si nanotubes.
Abstract: We have developed a unifying tight-binding Hamiltonian that can account for the electronic properties of recently proposed Si-based nanostructures, namely, Si graphene-like sheets and Si nanotubes. We considered the $s{p}^{3}{s}^{*}$ and $s{p}^{3}$ models up to first- and second-nearest neighbors, respectively. Our results show that the Si graphene-like sheets considered here are metals or zero-gap semiconductors, and that the corresponding Si nanotubes follow the so-called Hamada's [Phys. Rev. Lett. 68, 1579 (1992)] rule. Comparison to a recent ab initio calculation is made.
