Verrucous Papillary Lesions: Dilemmas in Diagnosis and Terminology by Thomas George Kallarakkal, Anand Ramanathan, Rosnah Binti Zain

“…Clinically and histologically oral verrucous hyperplasia, a potentially malignant disorder, resembles oral verrucous carcinoma and may be indistinguishable from one another. The most reliable way to separate these entities on routine haematoxylin-eosin stained tissue sections is to recognize the exophytic growth patterns of oral verrucous hyperplasia from the combined exophytic and endophytic growth patterns associated with verrucous carcinoma. …”

CHANGES IN THE DYNAMICS AND DEMOGRAPHIC STRUCTURES OF THE ROMANIAN URBAN POPULATION. AN OVERVIEW OF THE POST-COMMUNIST PERIOD by BIANCA MITRICĂ

“…Thus, the industrial town – the representative type of urban settlement, has largely been replaced by the polyfunctional and services type, a trend that met the country’s major economic and social-political targets, set early in the Third Millennium, in line with Romania’s integration into the European urban system. Another trend, this time in rural-urban evolution, was to raise communes, viewed as local polarisation cores, to town status. …”
