A 67-year-old female patient presented with multiple erythematous plaques with violaceous oedematous borders. Lesions first appeared on the trunk, then spread to the lower limbs and finally the face within 10 days (Fig. 1). Lesions showed centrifugal expansion and were very itchy. Laboratory tests showed increased eosinophils (0.08%, normal < 0.07%), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (4.43 μmol/s/l, ...

In 1978, an 11-year-old boy began to notice proximal weakness in his limbs together with facial erythema; palpebral violaceous edema; and erythematous papules on his elbows, knees, and over the metacarpophalangeal joints. A diagnosis of polymyositis/dermatomyositis was made. He was treated with oral prednisone, which caused the symptoms to disappear promptly. In 1980, proximal weakness, dysphag...

the relationship between different indices of the copper deficiency was studied in 136 slaughtered male cattle (< 2 years). copper status has been detected as marginally deficient in 57.4, 36.4, 34.6, and 28.2% of cattle based on the copper concentrations in plasma (5.5-14.5 μmol/l) and liver (19.7-189.1 mg/kgdm), plasma ceruloplasmin levels (85.4 - 178.2 mg/l) and erythrocyte superoxide dismut...

A male infant of Han descent, with a G1P1 mother and gestational age 40+4 weeks, was born via cesarean section owing to his having pregnancy complications, including premature rupture membranes, chorioamnionitis, diabetes. On the first day after birth, routine blood examination showed that total red cells count 2.32 × 1012/L, hemoglobin 77 g/L, C-reactive protein 48.99 mg/L. After receiving an ...

We study several classes of holomorphic dynamical systems associated with quadrature domains. Our main result is that real-symmetric polynomials in the principal hyperbolic component Mandelbrot set can be conformally mated a congruence subgroup of<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="normal upper P normal S L left-parenthesi...

Serum electrolytes, urea and creatinine were normal. Total protien was 59 g/L, albumin was 35 g/L, globulin was 24 g/L,...

Substitution at codon Ser315 of katG gene, a reliable marker for isoniazid (INH) resistance and proliferate in spite of the loss of cell wall is called an L- form. Unstable L- forms  can convert to normal cells but stble L-forms can not.cell wall - deffective state may be induced spontaneously or through the action of an appropriate agent such as antibiotic interfering with the synthesis of cel...

The hypoglycemic effect of feeding normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats with Sweet Potato (Ipomoea batatas)and Irish (Solanum tuberosum)flour fortified vitamin for 21 days was studied. Forty-five white albino were divided into groups five each. are Normal control, control + diet, positive negative test 1 2. Fasting blood glucose 2 hours post-prandial measured at 7 days, 14 days. It found th...

In this article, we discuss measure theoretic characterizations for weighted composition operators in some operator classes on $L^{2}(Sigma)$ such as, $n$-power normal, $n$-power quasi-normal, $k$-quasi-paranormal and quasi-class$A$. Then we show that weighted composition operators can separate these classes.
