Advances in chemotherapy have improved survival in patients with hematological malignancies, solid tumors, and have allowed for rapid progress in the field of organ transplantation. However, the frequency of opportunistic, specifically mycotic, infections has risen and provides a new challenge in the treatment of these patients. The following case report illustrates the need for early diagnosis...

HEMORRHAGIC PANCREATITIS is a more lethal disease than edematous pancreatitis [2, 5, 81. For prognostic and therapeutic purposes it would be useful to be able to distinguish between the two forms of pancreatitis, but present methods are inadequate. Levels of serum amylase, an index of the degree of ductal obstruction of the pancreas, depend on a functioning acinar cell [l]. Amylase and lipase l...

Fig 1. Papules with overlying hemorrhagic crusting located on the proximal arm (underlying bruising is caused by recent trauma to the arm and is not a result of the patient’s hemorrhagic bullous dermatosis). INTRODUCTION Hemorrhagic bullous dermatosis is a rare, generalized skin reaction with unknown pathogenesis, described in association with heparin therapy. Heparin is known to cause injectio...

Digital multipliers are most widely used component in applications such as convolution, Fourier transform, discrete cosine transforms, and digital filtering. Because outturn of these applications mainly depends on multiplier speed, therefore multipliers must be designed efficiently. In the proposed architecture, a variable-latency multiplier design with novel AHL architecture and a razor flip f...
