2 citations
,
June 1953 in “Journal of the American Medical Association” This article explores the correlation between alopecia leprotica and Buddhist customs, presenting evidence that leprosy is contracted during infancy or childhood rather than in maturity; it reports no new clinical findings.
2 citations
,
March 2003 in “DigitalResearch@Fordham (Fordham University)” This essay discusses the relationship between communication and a sense of self through the metaphor of material, drawing on a children's story to explore the material basis of storytelling and creation, without providing new research results.
