A rare case of Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pelvis is reported. A 76-years-old man presented with a low abdominal pain, acute urine retention and constipation. Imaging studies (US, CT MR) showed an 17 x 10 x 9 ovoid mass in the pelvis, dislocating bladder and rectum. Finally, trans-rectal needle biopsy suggested the diagnosis of SFT. En bloc excision of tumor and rectum (because of stron...

Background. Skinfold thickness (SFT) measurements are a reliable and feasible method for assessing body fat in children but their use and interpretation is hindered by the scarcity of reference values in representative populations of children. The objective of the present study was to develop age- and sex-specific percentile curves for five SFT measures (biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac...

Solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) is a rare neoplasia. Now classified as SFT, it was first described in 1942 as "hemangiopericytoma" (HPC), and its origin was supposed to be the pericytes. The location outside the pleura is considered uncommon and the tumor situation on the thigh is much more unusual. In this article, we present a case of a SFT located in the hip. Even if the limb situation of the S...

We study Markov multi-maps of the interval from point view topological dynamics. Specifically, we define forward trajectory system a multi-map, and investigate whether it has properties such as transitivity, mixing, density periodic points, specification. To each multi-map associate shift finite type (SFT), our main results relate SFT with those system. Under general coding condition, establish...

We consider commuting operators obtained by quantization of Hamiltonians of the Hopf (aka dispersionless KdV) hierarchy. Such operators naturally arise in the setting of Symplectic Field Theory (SFT). A complete set of common eigenvectors of these operators is given by Schur polynomials. We use this result for computing the SFT potential of a disk.

It is well known that if G admits a f.g. subgroup H with a weakly aperiodic SFT (resp. an undecidable domino problem), then G itself has a weakly aperiodic SFT (resp. an undecidable domino problem). We prove that we can replace the property “H is a subgroup of G” by “H acts translation-like on G”, provided H is finitely presented. In particular: • If G1 and G2 are f.g. infinite groups, then G1 ...

PURPOSE To explore the value of triazines in solitary fibrous tumor (SFT). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We retrospectively reviewed 8 cases of patients with SFT treated with dacarbazine (1,200 mg/m(2) every 3 weeks) as from January 2012. Then, we studied a dedifferentiated-SFT subcutaneously xenotransplanted into severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. Dacarbazine, temozolomide, sunitinib, bevaci...

Background: There is an interest in noninvasive measurement of body fat in newborns and infants. Measurement of skinfold thickness (SFT) is a simple clinical method. Objective: We correlated fat mass (FM) values of neonates and infants predicted from SFT measurements and compared them with FM values measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), a validated in vivo method for determining b...

We report a case of solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of greater omentum in a young woman. SFT arising from the greater omentum can mimic a gynecologic neoplasm. SFTs are generally benign but some of them are malignant and have uncertain prognosis. An adequate follow-up is essential in these patients.

An artificial neural network (ANN) approach was used to develop a new predictive model for the calculation of static formation temperature (SFT) in geothermal wells. A three-layer ANN architecture was successfully trained using a geothermal borehole database, which contains ‘‘statistically normalised’’ SFT estimates. These estimates were inferred from seven analytical methods commonly used in g...
