Re-discovered repair

Incidental gossypiboma discovered during tricuspid valve re-repair 11 years after Ebstein anomaly repair.

BACKGROUND A retained surgical sponge, an extremely rare occurrence after cardiac surgery, can trigger a granulomatous reaction and form a sizeable mass or gossypiboma. We report the incidental operative finding of a gossypiboma 11 years after repair of Ebstein anomaly. CASE REPORT A 24-year-old man, who had previously undergone tricuspid annuloplasty for Ebstein anomaly 11 years earlier at a...

QSSC RE-EXAMINED FOR THE NEWLY DISCOVERED SNe Ia

We examine the possible consistency of the quasi-steady state model with the newly discovered SNe Ia. The model assumes the existence of metallic dust ejected from the SNe explosions, which extinguishes light travelling over long distances. We find that the model shows a reasonable fit to the data, which improves if one take account of the weak gravitational lensing effect of the SNe which have...

Ligniera junci, a plasmodiophorid re-discovered in roots of Juncus in Austria.

Ligniera junci, a plasmodiophorid parasite of Juncus spp. was found at three locations in Tyrol. The morphologically similar plasmodiophorid of Poaceae Polymyxa graminis was found to co-occur at two of these locations. This is the first record of these species in Austria. Colour photographs of resting spores of Ligniera junci in roots of Juncus triglumis and Polymyxa graminis in roots of Poacea...

Prominence and plage activity in the recently discovered late - type rapid rotator , RE 1816 + 541

The rapidly-rotating, chromospherically active latetype star RE 1816+541 has shown signs of intense magnetic activity in various forms. Time-series of high resolution spectra have been obtained during three nights and several important events were detected. Observations contained several chromospheric lines, allowing us investigate simultaneously the response of the chromosphere at different he...
