dpc: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called dpc.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• “Mitogenicity”—the latest and most hilarious episode in the slapstick comedy of melanoma management. by Weyers, Wolfgang (2012) - And those who contend that a few melanoma cells confined to the epidermis have an independent effect on prognosis are the same who aver that a wholly intraepidermal prolifera- tion of melanoma cells carries no risk at all, who even claim that there is “no biologic evidence that in situ melanoma is a malignant disease.” [4] Fif- teen years later, in order to satisfy the concept of multistep carcinogenesis, he returned to the position that melanomas resulted from transformation of melanocytic nevi in what he called “six evident lesional steps of tumor progression,” namely, “1) the common acquired melanocytic nevus; 2) a melanocytic nevus with lentiginous melanocytic hyperplasia, i.e., aberrant differentiation; 3) a melanocytic nevus with aberrant differentiation and nuclear atypia, i.e., melanocytic dysplasia; 4) the radial growth phase of primary melanoma; 5) the vertical growth phase of primary melanoma; and 6) metastatic melanoma.” Keywords: cells; comedy; figure; growth; laughter; melanoma; mitoses; new; patients; phase; rate; thickness; tumor

• Dermatopathology: an abridged compendium of words. A discussion of them and opinions about them. Part 3 by Hookerman, Bruce J. (2019) - The term “connective tissue diseases”, applied to the constellation of systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren syndrome, is accurate because those diseases are abnormalities of connective tissue, but so, too, are a host of other conditions, such as pseudo xanthoma elasticum, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Hurler syndrome; all of them are “connective tissue diseases.” CONNECTIVE TISSUE MUCIN: pertains to mucinous substances produced by connective tissue cells, in contrast to similar substances that are manufactured by epithelial cells. Carcinomas as well as sarcomas have been told to be typified by “clear cells,” which actually did not have a clear cyto- plasm but were filled with granular material.

• An abridged compendium of words. A discussion of them and opinions about them. Introduction and Part 1 by Hookerman, Bruce J. (2013) - Acantholytic cells are observed in different kinds of processes pathologic, among those being inflammatory ones, such as pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, paraneoplastic pemphigus, infection by herpes virus (herpes simplex, zoster, and varicella), and Grover’s disease; neoplastic ones, such as squamous-cell carcinoma of the solar keratotic type (so-called pseudoglandular squamous-cell car- cinoma); cystic ones, such as warty dyskeratoma; hamarto- matous ones, such as an epidermal nevus punctuated by foci of acantholytic dyskeratosis, and one that escapes categoriza- tion readily in the classification of classic pathology, namely, Darier’s disease. Moreover, acantholytic cells may be brought into being by different mechanisms, the two most common being immunologic, as in pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus, and secondary to the effects of products of neutro- phils as occurs in bullous impetigo and dermatitis herpetifor- mis.

• Yellow color upon dermatoscopy does not exclude melanoma! by Longo, Caterina; Raucci, Margherita; Piana, Simonetta; Zalaudek, Iris (2014) - Instead, yellow color has been linked to keratin or lipids, and accordingly, it is commonly seen in keratinizing tumors including seborrheic keratosis and squamous cell carcinoma or in tumors with sebaceous differentiation, but also in juve- nile xanthogranuloma or granulomatous skin diseases [1]. It is more surprising that recent dermatoscopic observa- tions report on yellow color in both melanocytic nevi and melanoma Keywords: color; melanoma; yellow

• Dermatopathology: an abridged compendium of words. A discussion of them and opinions about them. Part 2 by Hookerman, Bruce J. (2013) - The term ballooning, if unmodified, is enigmatic because ballooning refers also to the appearance of swollen cytoplasm in types of cells other than keratocytes, such as ballooned melanocytes of nevi and melanomas (balloon-cell nevus and balloon cell melanoma, respectively). Unfortunately, the term is applied to cells that look very dif- ferent from one another such as germinative cells of tricho- blastoma, and matrical cells of pilomatricoma.

• The so-called dysplastic nevus is not dysplastic at all by Madan, Raman; Chen, Sheng (2013) - However, such a benign lesion has certainly been over- treated since 1980, when the term dysplastic nevus was first introduced [4], due to the continued wrong belief that it represented an inter- mediate step between nevus and melanoma or a carcinoma in situ equivalent. If one looks for an equivalent lesion to the so-called dysplastic (carcinoma in situ) lesions of epithelial tissue in melanocytic neoplasia, melanoma in situ would be the one, not the so- called dysplastic nevus.

• Differentiation of pigmented Spitz nevi and Reed nevi by integration of dermatopathologic and dermatoscopic findings by Bär, Michael; Tschandl, Philipp; Kittler, Harald (2012) - Since its description in 1975, Reed nevus has traditionally been regarded as a particular, and probably the most common, variant within the spectrum of Spitz nevi, although from the outset, Reed distinguished between pigmented spindle cell nevus and Spitz nevus because the former possessed plenti- ful melanin and lacked the infiltrative growth pattern fre- quently found in Spitz nevi [4–7]. Dermatopathologic-dermatoscopic correlation showed that Reed nevi were character- ized by a dermatoscopic pattern of peripheral radial lines or pseudopods (fascicular growth pattern), whereas pigmented Spitz nevi were typified by a pattern consisting of clods (nested growth pattern).
