One interesting study is called, The histopathological diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma v. pulmonary adenocarcinoma: reproducibility of the histopathological diagnosis by B.G. Skov1,3,A.F. Lauritzen, F. Hirsch, H.W. Nielsen Histopathology - Volume 24, Issue 6, pages 553557, June 1994. Here is an excerpt: In a randomized design we examined the interobserver variation in the histopathological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the lung and malignant mesothelioma. In three rounds, three pathologists assessed slides from 42 tumours originally diagnosed as adenocarcinomas, malignant mesotheliomas or benign lesions in the pleura. In the first round the assessments were made on haematoxylin and eosin (H & E) stained sections; in the second, on H & E sections plus sections stained with histochemical mucin stains; and in the final round, the diagnoses were made on H & E sections and sections stained with a panel of antibodies against various antigens (cytokeratin, EMA, CEA, Ber-EP4, B72.3, Leu-M1, vimentin and S-100 protein) said to be of value in the differential diagnosis. The overall interobserver agreements for the three rounds were 0.659, 0.802 and 0.817; the kappa values were 0.461,...more

I mentioned in the first video that I have been using Respen-A therapy for just about one year now in my practice. I am recording this particular video in October of 2010 and I plan on continuing to use Respen-A because I have found that it is quite helpful for children with Autism. And while no treatment is a panacea, a cure or a magic bullet, Respen-A is helpful for many children with Autism. I have seen positive gains for about 70% - 80% of my patients using it.With Respen-A I have certainly had some children who did not respond at all and others who responded negatively. But the negative reaction was nothing serious, usually it entailed irritability, sometimes becoming more emotional, or hyperactivity. And often times these reactions can be expected with any new treatment. In general, biomedical treatments like diet, B-12, supplements, Respen-A, etc., are very safe, non toxic and not dangerous. They are very well tolerated by most of the children that try them, but of course nothing is 100% free of side effects.I would like to set the record straight just a bit about why I am doing these videos on Respen-A and other things. As a physician with over a decade's worth of...more
