Histopathologic Features

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood, and 75% of such cases in the United States are reviewed at the Pathology Center for the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study Group (IRSG). The first four generations of IRSG therapeutic trials (IRS I–IV) and supportive pathologic studies have generated a new International Classification of Rhabdomyosarcoma (ICR) that offers new morphologic concepts to the practicing pathologist. The objective of this report is to clearly define emerging histopathologic categories of RMS as defined by the ICR, and to emphasize correlative immunohistochemical or molecular studies. Emerging ICR variants of RMS place the patient in widely divergent prognostic categories (superior, botryoid or spindle cell variants; poor, solid alveolar or diffusely anaplastic variants). The cardinal histopathologic features of the ICR combined with results of studies of fusion genes seen with t(1;13) and t(2;13) will help delineate therapeutic subgroups of RMS for the fifth generation (IRS V) of IRSG studies. Consequently, it is imperative for the practicing pathologist to be familiar with the practical workup and diagnosis of RMS in childhood.

This article explores the role of Japanese merchants within American art and collecting circles and analyzes the ways in which the construction of “Asianness” and, in particular, “Japaneseness” became intertwined with the classification of Asian art. In order to reconstitute the market for high art and to create their own positionalities as legitimate cultural intermediaries, Asian art dealers such as Bunkio Matsuki (1867–1940) and Sadajiro Yamanaka (1866–1936) used their connections to Japan as cultural capital. Ultimately, their experiences illuminate the complexities of the reconceptualization of ethnic–racial identities through the lens of aesthetic discourses.

Significant Difference

Observable harm has been inflicted upon business by unethical decisions and misconduct. Much of this phenomenon can be traced to impoverished ethical attitudes. Among the various reasons for this problem is that of a manager's culture, which has a distinct influence on attitudes and behaviors. The purpose of this chapter was to determine, through empirical data, whether differences rooted in culture significantly contribute to differences in ethical attitudes. Management scholar Geert Hofstede's classification of cultural elements for understanding and explaining aspects of national culture was correlated with the ethical attitudes of business managers in the two national cultures of the United States and Mexico. Results indicated a significant positive relationship between national culture and ethical attitudes and the dultural dimensions of uncertainty avoidance, masculinity, and long-term orientation. A significant difference in ethical attitudes between managers from the United States and Mexico was also found.

Western Influences

Ichikawa Ennosuke II was a kabuki actor in the Meiji, Taishō, and Shōwa eras who collaborated with artists in the modern drama movement and was instrumental in the Shin Buyō [New Dance] movement. He is regarded as a progressive, even radical artist who reinvigorated kabuki through innovation, and modern and Western influences. Born Kinoshi Masayasu, the son of Ichikawa Danshirō II, he began performing child roles in kabuki at an early age, debuting at the Kabuki-za in Tokyo in 1892 under the name Ichikawa Danko I. He spent the next two decades performing traditional kabuki. He also joined Ichikawa Sadanji II and Osanai Kaoru’s Jiyū Gekijō [Free Theater], in 1909, participating in the early development of shingeki. In 1910 he took the name Ichikawa Ennosuke II and performed in plays by modern and shin-kabuki playwright Okamoto Kidō. In 1919 Ichikawa travelled to the United States and Europe to experience Western theater and dance. The productions he encountered profoundly shaped his understanding of performance and fired his imagination. Upon his return to Japan he began experimenting with fusions of modern and traditional forms. In September 1919 he premiered an adaptation of the play Sumidagawa [The Sumida River] influenced by Russian ballet. In 1920 he joined other modernist artists to form Shunjūza, a study group and artists’ collective including Osanai Kaoru, Ichikawa Sadanji II, Bandō Jusaburō III, Ichikawa Sumizō VI, and Ichikawa Shōchō II, the last three all kabuki actors, to present plays by Tanizaki Jun’ichiro, Kikuchi Kan, and Okamoto Kidō.

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate whether two different syringes yield different results in the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) flow test to evaluate liquid consistency. Methods: two 10-mL syringes (Bencton and Dickinson, manufactured in the United States, and Saldanha Rodrigues, manufactured in Brazil) were compared. Flow rate of water added with food thickener (maltodextrin, xanthan gum and potassium chloride) at three concentrations, and of barium sulfate at three concentrations was measured immediately after preparation and at 8 hours and 24 hours thereafter. Results: flow rate of both water and barium sulfate was higher with the Bencton and Dickinson syringe, with discrepancies between the two syringes in the classification of fluid consistency according to the IDDI framework. Conclusion: in the evaluation of the consistency of liquids by the IDDSI flow test, a Bencton and Dickinson syringe should be used, following the recommendations of the IDDSI group.
