		Research article Immunohistochemical and other prognostic factors in B cell non Hodgkin lymphoma patients, Kampala, Uganda Lynnette K Tumwine, Claudio Agostinelli, Cristina Campidelli, Emmanuel Othieno, Henry Wabinga, Simona Righi, Brunangelo Falini, Pier Piccaluga, Wilson Byarugaba, Stefano A Pileri BMC Clinical Pathology 2009, 9:11 (16 December 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Immunohistochemical subtyping of patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the resource-limited country Uganda showed that most have the clinically aggressive Burkitt lymphoma, and in these patients receiving chemotherapy is associated with good prognosis.
		Research article Ex-vivo changes in amino acid concentrations from blood stored at room temperature or on ice: implications for arginine and taurine measurements Joshua S Davis, Christabelle J Darcy, Kim Piera, Yvette R McNeil, Tonia Woodberry, Nicholas M Anstey BMC Clinical Pathology 2009, 9:10 (27 November 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Arginine in whole blood samples at room temperature is rapidly degraded while taurine increases both at room temperature and on ice, so blood for amino acid analyses needs to be placed on ice or processed quickly after collection.
		Research article CD 9 and vimentin distinguish clear cell from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma Ariel A Williams, John PT Higgins, Hongjuan Zhao, Börje Ljungberg, James D Brooks BMC Clinical Pathology 2009, 9:9 (18 November 2009) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed
