OBJECTIVES: To analyze the occurrence and types of neoplasias that have developed in patients submitted to orthotopic heart transplantation in the Cardiac Transplantation Program of the Paulista School of Medicine, Federal University of São Paulo.
METHODS: The present study presents an observational analysis of 106 patients submitted to orthotopic heart transplantation from November 1986 to September 2002, who survived for more than 30 days after the procedure. The immunosuppressive regimen consisted of triple therapy with cyclosporin A, azathioprine and corticosteroid. Only two patients received, in addition to triple therapy, the addition of orthoclone OKT-3. The mean follow-up period was 61.4 months. (variation from two months to 192 months).
RESULTS: Twenty-three patients (21.3%) developed neoplasias, of which 56.5% had skin neoplasms, 30.1% had solid tumors and 13.4% had post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD). The mean interval between transplantation and the diagnosis of neoplasia was: skin - 54.9 months, solid tumors - 24.8 months and DLPT - 70.3 months.
CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of malignant neoplasms was relatively common in the analyzed population. Skin cancer prevailed in relation to other neoplasms and solid tumors were more diagnosed than lymphoproliferative diseases in this series of patients.

Explanation:
Plagiarism is the act of using someone else’s ideas and pasting them off as their own. Even though someone like Karen may have forgotten to add citations, reading her essay would make it very clear that she is adding in her own ideas; she just forgot to add in the sources of which she tried to find information from. Alan didn’t do any work and tried to pass off the whole essay as his own. He did so on purpose too.

Explanation:
Preparing a speech outline does not necessarily mean one can forgo the 'normal' ways or patterns of speeches. This means that even though it is a preparation of a speech outline, a person must use complete sentences rather than phrases.
Using complete sentences in the preparation of the outlines of a speech will help the person judge and see if there is coherence in the prepared speech. It presents the speaker to find the mistakes and correct whatever is necessary. This will also make sure that the intended speech does not have any issues before it is given in front of an audience.
Thus, the correct answer is false.

leaves is the plural noun
