lomaxx: Teratomas are tumors derived from the 3 germ cell layers which would give you the bone,, hair teeth. Whether the teratoma is in the ovary, lungs, liver, or in the midline, you will have the same features. It doesn't mean there was a fertlization and subsequent implantation like a normal embryo.
Okay, I understand better. I also gave a small glance on the internet.
I will change the topic to "Embryonic Tumour Discovered In A Woman's Brain". Is that okay?
One website got the same news with the headline: Teratomas: the tumours that can transform into ‘evil twins’
The topic has changed to that of the other website. "Teratomas: the tumours that can transform into ‘evil twins’"
But what of the part of the news that stated that the the tumor to be an embryonic twin with bone, hair and teeth?
Karanam said she was shocked when she woke up after the surgery and Dr. Hrayr Shahinian’s team revealed the tumor to be an embryonic twin with bone, hair and teeth.
lomaxx: The topic is misleading. It rather paints the picture of a twin ectopic pregnancy in the brain.
The patient had a teratoma removed from her skull. Teratoma can either be one of embryonic or germinal tissue. This patient had an embryonic teratoma which divided into "twin" embryonic tissues.
Topics should be made to reflect the content abeg.
I reread the news again I think the topic given by the website where I picked the news is appropriate.
Los Angeles surgeons working to remove a tumor from an Indiana woman’s brain said the growth turned out to be the patient’s embryonic twin. UPI reports:
Yamini Karanam, 26, a Ph.D. student at Indiana University, said she underwent surgery at the Skull Base Institute after problems she started having with reading and listening comprehension last September were determined to be the result of a tumor in her brain. Karanam said she was shocked when she woke up after the surgery and Dr. Hrayr Shahinian’s team revealed the tumor to be an embryonic twin with bone, hair and teeth. Shahinian said such a tumor, or “teratoma,” is rare to find in modern medicine. “This is my second one, and I’ve probably taken out 7,000 or 8,000 brain tumors,” Shahiniantold NBC Los Angeles.
IzonOwei: i have said it that one day no one would go out to vote,rather we mob our leaders and strangle each of them right at their homes...its going to dawn on us pretty soon...this is a nation that has so much but has decided to pitch its tent solely on oil and its proceeds...desperate times calls for desperate measures...we would have no choice but to divest and explore other means of generating revenue for the country other than oil...I think at some point true federalism would be agreed by all for all of us to move forward and not starve to death...
You are right.
I think I also stated here on this forum about four years ago that considering the way the useless nigerian "leaders" dey govern a time would come when they would not have money to run their government anymore. That time is today.
In the world today oil is gradually changing into water. Water that everybody has.
The situation is turning to the point where almost everybody has oil. So there is less people to sell oil to. But nigeria refuse to grow up and develop other areas.
sweetgala: It's the unfortunate intermittent situations we have also had which has done catastrophic damage, Nigeria went to shit the day some stupid officers betrayed their colleagues , superiors and the nation January 15 ,1966 destroying the young energy of our infant nation, and murdering great men unmatched since
The fallout from it which included the civil war was rescued by Jack Gowon, Young Murtala and OBJ re-energized the effort when Gowon slowed down and provided our second republic.
The greed and excesses of that incursion into democracy was checked by GMB who was wickedly expelled by the worst presidents in our history IBB and Abacha.
OBJ second coming brought renewed hope; with it political impunity and GEJ third only to Abacha and IBB
You agree with me that nigeria is presently a destroyed country.
Second coming of obasanjo was a disaster. He is an insincere man. Jonathan performed better than him.
sweetgala: You never appreciated the ones you had, those men listed are men of honor you may not be able to compare to. They are men we can be proud of in societies outside ours
You make me laughed.
If they are men of honour we suppose not to have this kind of failed country.
