Unofficial Histories: A Vision of Anthropology from the Margins
Authors: LAMPHERE LOUISE 
Published: November 2004

AbstractInitially given as the Presidential Address at the 100th Meeting of the AAA, this article examines the contributions women and minority anthropologists who have struggled to gain a place at the center of the discipline. Despite 25 years of scholarship on women and minorities, anthropology needs to go further in terms of paying attention to their pioneering efforts and the breadth of their scholarship. The article explores four currently important areas of creativity: (1) the transformation of field research through problem‐oriented participant observation and “native anthropology,” as exemplified by George Hunt, the young Margaret Mead, Delmos Jones; (2) the evolution of more dialogical forms of ethnographic writing, as pursued by Elsie Clews Parsons, Gladys Reichard, Ella Deloria, and Zora Neale Hurston; (3) sources of critique, as embodied in the work of Ruth Benedict and Michelle Rosaldo; (4) forms of activism, engaged in by Anita McGee, Benedict, Mead, and Alfonzo Ortiz.
Primate Conservation in Vietnam: Toward a Holistic Environmental Narrative
Authors: WORKMAN CATHERINE 
Published: November 2004

ABSTRACTVietnam is home to a considerable diversity of primates: Indeed, five of the world's top 25 most endangered primate species are found within Vietnam. To understand and ultimately address Vietnam's conservation crisis, the complex interplay of history, demography, economics, international relations, and culture must be analyzed within Vietnam's specific context. Conducting a holistic analysis with the example of hunting represents how seemingly disparate factors such as the U.S. war, increased tourism and globalization, population density, and cultural traditions converge to significantly impact wildlife.

Romancing the Stones: Biases, Style and Lithics at La Riera
Authors: Clark G. A. 
Published: November 2004

This chapter discusses paradigmatic biases and style in lithic analysis, and presents a case study using a lithic data set from northern Spain. Biases are considered first, since they affect our capacity to perceive pattern in an archaeological record, determine which of a number of alternative approaches is considered to be appropriate, and affect systematics of all kinds and at all levels in a problem domain.Second, anthropological and archaeological notions of style are outlined and discussed, and an effort is made to identify modal characteristics of archaeological definitions as they bear on the analysis of stone tools and debitage.Finally, lithic and faunal data from paleolithic deposits at La Riera cave (Asturias, Spain) are examined from a number of different perspectives operationalized through the creation of multiple typologies and the monitoring of variable frequencies, first by simple indices and ratios, and subsequently by multivariate techniques. These procedures allowed for the partitioning of overall assemblage variability into a small number of overlapping but fairly discrete causal vectors. The causal vectors constitute hypothetical explanations for recurrent patterns in the La Riera sequence and at other north Spanish sites. They allow us to create a scenario for the different activities that took place repeatedly in the cave over the Tardiglacial and early Postglacial periods ‐ a scenario that can be generalized to other penecontemporaneous sites in the region.

Anthropological Research in Major Corporations: Work Products of the Industrial Domain
Authors: Baba Marietta L. 
Published: November 2004

Employment patterns in anthropology have shifted markedly over the past 25 years, with increasing numbers of professionals working full‐time in a wide range of non‐academic settings. Recent survey results show that more than one‐half (51%) of employed, newly graduating Ph.D's now work as non‐academic practitioners. As part of an overall effort to learn more about the work of practitioners, and to increase understanding and communication between the academic and practitioner arms of the discipline, the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology (NAPA) recently sponsored an invited symposium entitled “Anthropological Research in Major Corporations” (held at the 1985 Annual Meetings of the American Anthropological Association in Washington D.C.) The specific objectives of the symposium were to explore the application of anthropological methods and concepts in modern industrial research, to generate interest in business and industrial anthropology, and to demonstrate the relevance of such work to important organizational and social problems.The current volume of Central Issues in Antrhopology features four papers that initially were presented as part of the NAPA symposium. These papers reflect anthropological practice in several major industries (e.g., automobile manufacture, computer technology, health care) and represent the work of practioners across a range of subdisciplines (e.g., cultural, linguistic, and biological anthropology.) This introductory overview by the symposium organizer provides background information and a rationale for the symposium, and considers the four papers as products of contemporary anthropological research in industry. Special attention is given to several differences between academic and industrial research (i.e. differences in research objects, locus of authority, and system of peer evaluation), especially as such differences are reflected in the present collections. Differences in university and corporate environments account for much of the variance in research products emerging from these two domains, however it is concluded that anthropologists across domains share the mission of inductive discovery through unique approaches to the conceptualization of problems, the elicitation of data, and the interpretation of social phenomena.
ARTICLE
Authors: Appel Ted C. 
Published: November 2004

AbstractThe nature and delivery of native medicine was studied among the Miskito Indians of eastern Nicaragua. Two types of practitioners were interviewed: the curandero (herbalist) and the sukya (shaman). Both were found to deliver similar health care, with the major differences being that the former uses dreams to ascertain the proper herbs for treatment, whereas the latter makes use of ceremonial chants for this purpose. Several specific therapies are reviewed, and it is suggested that many constitute partially or totally effective treatment, while others which show limitations of knowledge may be detrimental. It is suggested that better communication is needed to modify the relative inadequacies of Western and native practitioners alike.

Following recent advances in breast cancer chemoprevention, much emphasis has been placed on risk assessment to evaluate whether women at increased risk for developing breast cancer should proceed with breast cancer risk reduction strategies. The currently available risk-reduction approaches include screening, chemoprevention, and preventive surgeries. Breast cancer arises from the epithelial linings of the ductal system, and it is believed that hyperplasia and atypical hyperplasia represent early changes in the breast carcinogenesis process. The ductal lavage procedure offers a minimally invasive method to obtain breast epithelial cells from the ductal system for cytopathologic analysis to provide individualized risk assessment. This paper reviews breast cancer risk factors, with an emphasis on cytological atypia and the role of ductal lavage in breast cancer risk assessment.
The Role of PET Scan in Diagnosis, Staging, and Management of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Authors: Schrevens Liesbet , Lorent Natalie , Dooms Christophe , Vansteenkiste Johan 
Published: November 2004

Abstract
Positron emission tomography (PET) is now an important cancer imaging tool, both for diagnosis and staging, as well as offering prognostic information based on response. This report attempts to comprehensively review the value of PET in the locoregional and distant staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), illustrate the potential effects on patient management, and give a short overview of newer applications. PET sets the gold standard in the evaluation of an indeterminate solitary pulmonary nodule or mass, where PET has proven to be significantly more accurate than computed tomography (CT) in the distinction between benign and malignant lesions. In the evaluation of metastatic spread to locoregional lymph nodes, PET is significantly more accurate than CT, so that invasive surgical staging may be omitted in many patients with negative mediastinal PET images. In patients with positive mediastinal PET mages, invasive surgical staging remains mandatory because of the possibility of false-positive findings due to inflammatory nodes or granulomatous disorders. In the search for metastatic spread, PET is a useful adjunct to conventional imaging. This may be due to the finding of unexpected metastatic lesions or due to exclusion of malignancy in lesions that are equivocal on standard imaging. However, at this time, PET does not replace conventional imaging. Large-scale randomized studies are currently examining whether PET staging will actually improve the appearance of lung cancer outcome.
Cancer as Metaphor
Authors: Penson Richard T. , Schapira Lidia , Daniels Kristy J. , Chabner Bruce A. , Lynch Thomas J. 
Published: November 2004

AbstractLearning ObjectivesAfter completing this course, the reader will be able to: Describe aspects of metaphor in oncology, especially the military metaphor.Explain how the humanities have framed the military metaphor in medicine.Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the use of metaphor in the patient-caregiver relationship.Access and take the CME test online and receive 1 hour of AMA PRA category 1 credit at CME.TheOncologist.comShortly before his death in 1995, Kenneth B. Schwartz, a cancer patient at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), founded The Kenneth B. Schwartz Center at MGH. The Schwartz Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and advancing compassionate health care delivery, which provides hope to the patient and support to caregivers and encourages the healing process. The center sponsors the Schwartz Center Rounds, a monthly multidisciplinary forum where caregivers reflect on important psychosocial issues faced by patients, their families, and their caregivers, and gain insight and support from fellow staff members.Metaphors illuminate complex issues and can paint a thousand words. However, fundamental to individual and collective expression, they are also capable of creating or perpetuating stereotypes, and stigma. In oncology, the military metaphor is perhaps the most prominent, with the high profile of the “War on Cancer,” and the imperative for patients to have a fighting spirit. Balancing the instinct to fight with words of healing and acceptance remains a challenge. The history of the military metaphor and how the humanities have illuminated cancer as a metaphor are reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of the use of this metaphor are discussed, as well as the use of other metaphors in the psychosocial dynamic of care.
Modeling selenium bioaccumulation through arthropod food webs in San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Authors: Schlekat Christian E , Purkerson David G , Luoma Samuel N 
Published: November 2004

Abstract
Trophic transfer is the main process by which upper trophic level wildlife are exposed to selenium. Transfers through lower levels of a predator's food web thus can be instrumental in determining the threat of selenium in an ecosystem. Little is known about Se transfer through pelagic, zooplankton-based food webs in San Francisco Bay ([SFB], CA, USA), which serve as an energy source for important predators such as striped bass. A dynamic multipathway bioaccumulation model was used to model Se transfer from phytoplankton to pelagic copepods to carnivorous mysids (Neomysis mercedis). Uptake rates of dissolved Se, depuration rates, and assimilation efficiencies (AE) for the model were determined for copepods and mysids in the laboratory. Small (73-250 μm) and large (250-500 μm) herbivorous zooplankton collected from SFB (Oithona/Limnoithona and Acartia sp.) assimilated Se with similar efficiencies (41-52%) from phytoplankton. Mysids assimilated 73% of Se from small herbivorous zooplankton; Se AE was significantly lower (61%) than larger herbivorous zooplankton. Selenium depuration rates were high for both zooplankton and mysids (12-25% d−1), especially compared to bivalves (2-3% d−1). The model predicted steady state Se concentrations in mysids similar to those observed in the field. The predicted concentration range (1.5-5.4 μg g−1) was lower than concentrations of 4.5 to 24 μg g−1 observed in bivalves from the bay. Differences in efflux between mysids and bivalves were the best explanation for the differences in uptake. The results suggest that the risk of selenium toxicity to predators feeding on N. mercedis would be less than the risk to predators feeding on bivalves. Management of selenium contamination should include food webs analyses to focus on the most important exposure pathways identified for a given watershed.
Protein Databases on the Internet
Authors: Xu Dong , Xu Ying 
Published: November 2004

AbstractProtein databases have become a crucial part of modern biology. Huge amounts of data for protein structures, functions, and particularly sequences are being generated. Searching databases is often the first step in the study of a new protein. Comparison between proteins and between protein families in databases provides information about the relationship between proteins within a genome or across different species, and hence offers much more information than can be obtained by studying only an isolated protein. In addition, secondary databases derived from experimental databases are also widely available. These databases reorganize and annotate the data or provide predictions. The use of multiple databases often helps researchers understand the structure and function of proteins. Although some protein databases are widely known, they are far from being fully utilized in the protein science community. This unit provides a starting point for readers to explore the potential of protein databases on the Internet.
Detection of Histone H2AX Phosphorylation on Ser‐139 as an Indicator of DNA Damage (DNA Double‐Strand Breaks)
Authors: Huang Xuan , Halicka H. Dorota , Darzynkiewicz Zbigniew 
Published: November 2004

AbstractThis unit describes immunocytochemical detection of phosphorylated histone H2AX for revealing the presence of DNA double‐strand breaks. Double‐strand breaks indicate DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation or by treatment with antitumor drugs such as DNA topoisomerase inhibitors. However, double‐strand breaks can also be intrinsic, occurring in healthy, nontreated cells for a variety of reasons, and are generated in the course of DNA fragmentation in apoptotic cells. The unit presents strategies to distinguish radiation‐ or drug‐induced breaks from those intrinsically formed in untreated cells or associated with apoptosis. The protocol describes the immunocytochemical detection of histone H2AX phosphorylated on Ser‐139 combined with measurement of DNA content to identify cells that have DNA double‐strand breaks and to concurrently assess their cell cycle phase. The detection is based on indirect immunofluorescence using a FITC‐labeled secondary antibody, and DNA is counterstained with propidium iodide (PI). Cellular RNA, which may be stained by PI, is removed with RNase A.
A novel syndrome resembling Desbuquois dysplasia

Published: November 2004

AbstractWe report on three Tunisian siblings with a rare assortment of clinical and radiographic abnormalities closely resembling Desbuquois dysplasia. However, the siblings have had normal facies, normal hands, and were mentally normal. There were severe musculo‐skeletal distinguishing features such as joint stiffness, severe kyphoscoliosis, and multiple large joint dislocations. Moreover, the patients had an additional remarkable radiographic feature not reported in Desbequois dysplasia—multiple carpal ossification centers. The diagnosis of Desbuquois dysplasia is more difficult in older children and adults as the characteristic facial features of early childhood may recede, and the metaphyseal growth plates obliterate. This condition of these patients represents a novel Desbuquois‐like syndrome. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
COL11A2 mutation associated with autosomal recessive Weissenbacher–Zweymuller syndrome: Molecular and clinical overlap with otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia (OSMED)

AbstractAutosomal recessive Weissenbacher–Zweymuller syndrome (WZS) is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by rhizomelic dwarfism and severe hearing loss. Mutations in the COL11A2 gene have been implicated in causing the autosomal dominant form of this syndrome as well as non‐ocular Stickler syndrome and the autosomal recessive syndrome otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia (OSMED). In a consanguineous Bedouin tribe living in Southern Israel, five individuals affected by autosomal recessive WZS were available for genetic analysis. Homozygosity of a mutation in the COL11A2 gene was found in all affected individuals. This finding lends molecular support to the clinical notion that autosomal recessive WZS and OSMED are a single entity. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Beneficial effect of erythropoietin on experimental allergic encephalomyelitis

Published: November 2004

AbstractWe have known for a long time that erythropoietin signaling plays a key role in bone marrow erythrocyte proliferation. However, recent studies have indicated that erythropoietin also may have protective effects on the nervous system. This unexpected role remains incompletely characterized. To investigate the potential neuroprotective role of erythropoietin in the central nervous system, we assessed its effects on a well‐characterized autoimmune demyelinating model of multiple sclerosis–myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein‐induced experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in the mouse. We found that erythropoietin administered intravenously for 14 days after the onset of symptoms reduced both disease severity and duration of maximum impairment at dose levels as low as 50U/kg (p < 0.001). We assessed the neuropathology of diseased spinal cords and found that erythropoietin‐treated EAE animals had reduced axonal damage, inflammatory cell infiltration and demyelination, and diminished blood–brain barrier leakage when compared with saline‐treated EAE controls. Moreover, the pronounced upregulation of spinal cord major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression found in saline‐treated EAE was significantly reduced in erythropoietin‐treated animals, a finding we replicated in vitro, using microglial cultures. The notion that short‐term erythropoietin therapy might be of clinical benefit in human autoimmune demyelinating diseases needs investigation. Ann Neurol 2004; 56: 767‒777
