S13C1 - BORDERLAND

SECTION 13

Chapter 1 (HOME)

Richard J. Reed, M.D., New Orleans, LA

You are at Section 13, Chapter 1. The conventions for moving about this section are the same as those for Sections 1-13 & 15; I would hope that the reader has familiarized himself with these conventions before reaching this section. If not, then it might be advisable to go to Section 1, Chapter 1, and review the detailed conventions. Insights into structure and navigation are also available in the section, SITE DIAGRAM. Two clusters of navigation bars are available in the MASTERBORDER to the left. The first (blue) cluster is a first level cluster providing access to the single chapter at the first level (Chapter 1 - HOME), and to all of the textual chapters at level 2. At levels 2 & 3 having arrived at at parent texual or pictorial chapter, the blue cluster will also provide access to the “children” of the respective parent textual chapter In the second (beige) clusters, those bars, that are identified with an “-X,” are parent chapters; identifying a bar addressing such a chapter and then clicking on the next bar in a downward sequence, will provide access to a relevant pictorial chapter at level 3 (a “child” of the respective parent chapter). All the chapters in the MASTERBORDER that are identified with an “-X” are parent chapters for one or more pictorial pages (chapters) at level 3. The third cluster of mauve bars at the bottom (end) of the page, provides access to the other sections on this site. The beige cluster at the end of the page is a continuation of the beige, vertically oriented cluster in the MASTERBORDER to the left. A cluster of green navigation bars provides access to web sites.

A BACK button will take the reader to the previous chapter at whatever level is in view (with the exception of level 1 which has only one chapter). In the same manner, a NEXT or SEQUENCE button will take the reader to the next chapter in a spatial sequence along the horizontal plane of the respective tier. An UP button will take the reader up one tier; either from tier 3 to a  parent chapter at tier 2, or, if at tier 2, to HOME. The BACK BUTTON of the reader’s browser also has utility in moving about this SECTION; it provides access in a temporal sequence.

A BORDERLAND

(Inflammation vs Neoplasia)

This section is dedicated to some borderline disorders in which distinctions between inflammation and neoplasia may be a problem. In some portions of the presentation, the relationship between neoplasia and inflammation in a borderland is obscure. For example, some examples of histiocytic disorders, which are included in this section, are clearly tumorous with minimal representation of a component of non-specific inflammatory cells. The inclusion of some of the problem lesions in this section may be justified as a means of defining the wide spectrum of cytologic and histologic features in some categories. An appreciation of the variable features may be an aid in the characterization of a problematic lesion. 

Perhaps, the reader will judge my efforts to be inappropriate.

The Site Diagram is repeated below. The three tiers are evident and are numbered from above to below. The first tier is HOME; there is only one chapter at HOME. The second tier is devoted to textual material. Some of the textual chapters (each emblem is representative of a chapter) are connected with pictorial chapters along the third tier; these chapters, along tier 2, are “parent” textual chapters (they are identified with an “-X.”). For example, chapter text 1-X  is the parent for 3 pictorials at level 3. For all sections, the first chapter of the second tier is an IMAGE MAP.

This diagram presents a model section; it is representative of a specific section, site diagram. Three tiers are represented. The first tier is a single chapter. The second tier consists of textual chapters. In this diagram, three chapters (text 1-x, text 2-x, and text 4-x) are parent chapters. On tier 2, an IMAGE MAP, and a SECTION MAP are represented. The last chapter on tier 2 is a reference chapter. Tier 3 consists of pictorial chapters. Three of the pictorials are “children” of parent chapter, Text 1-X;  two are “children” of chapter, Text 2-X, and four are “children” of chapter, Text 4-X. With the BACK, or NEXT buttons, below, movement along the horizontal axis of tier 3 is limited to each group of pictorials that constitute “children” of the respective parent textual chapter at level 2.
