The Systemic Amyloidoses

Falk, Rodney H., Comenzo, Raymond L., Skinner, Martha·1997·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Amyloidosis is not a single disease but a term for diseases that share a common feature: the extracellular deposition of pathologic insoluble fibrillar proteins in organs and tissues. In the mid-19th century, Virchow adopted the botanical term “amyloid,” meaning starch or cellulose, to describe abnormal extracellular material seen in the liver at autopsy.1 Subsequently, amyloid was found to stain with Congo red, appearing red microscopically in normal light but apple green when viewed in polarized light.2,3 Almost a century after Virchow's observations, the fibrillar nature of amyloid was described with the use of electron microscopy and the characteristic beta-pleated–sheet . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
