    Summary: "You need exposure to high-yield cases to excel in the surgery clerkship and on the shelf exam. Case Files: Surgery presents 56 real-life cases that illustrate essential concepts in surgery. Each case includes a complete discussion, clinical pearls, references, definitions of key terms, and USMLE-style review questions. With this system, you'll learn in the context of real patients, rather then merely memorize facts."--Publisher's website.

    Twenty-one human intracranial tumors comprising 15 astrocytomas and 6 meningiomas and 26 ethylnitrosourea-induced rat neural tumors comprising 7 astrocytomas and 9 schwannomas were examined by indirect immunofluorescence for reactivity with a human anti-actin antibody. In cryostat sections both human and rat astrocytomas showed an increased reaction with the anti-actin antibody compared to normal astrocytes, and the reaction with astrocytomas was greater than that with meningiomas. Malignant rat schwannomas also showed prominent anti-actin staining contrasting with the negative reaction in normal Schwann cells. These in vivo observations were paralleled by concurrent studies with impression films and in vitro monolayer cultures of tumor tissue. The results, reviewed in the light pfo previous studies of anti-actin antibody reactivity with other nonneural tumors, suggest that an enhanced actin expression in vivo may be a general feature of the neoplastic state and that this increased expression may be more pronounced in malignant than in benign tumors.
