Pathological implications of the falciform ligament are rare and internal hernias exceptional. The origin defect can be congenital or inflammatory (a satellite acute cholecystitis) even post-surgical. most often revealed by an intestinal obstruction syndrome with ischemic component. scanner provides benchmarking examination allowing us to conduct a positive diagnosis see also inherent complicat...

A character-based measure of similarity is an important component of many natural language processing systems, including approaches to transliteration, coreference, word alignment, spelling correction, and the identification of cognates in related vocabularies. We propose an alignment-based discriminative framework for string similarity. We gather features from substring pairs consistent with a...

This paper describes an algorithm for computing maximal tori of the reductive centralizer of a nilpotent element of an exceptional complex symmetric space. It illustrates also a good example of the use of Computer Algebra Systems to help answer important questions in the field of pure mathematics. Such tori play a fundamental rôle in several problems such as: classification of nilpotent orbits ...

People create counterfactual ‘if only’ alternatives that change exceptional actions to be normal (e.g., ‘if only he had placed his usual small bet he would have lost less money’). Two experiments show that this effect is reversed when an exceptional alternative leads to a better outcome. Experiment 1 demonstrated the standard effect: an exceptional action that leads to a bad outcome is changed ...

The human BPI (bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein), stored in primary azurophilic granula of neutrophil granulocytes and produced by mucosal epithelia, has been known for decades to bind LPS (lipopolysaccharide) with very high affinity and to efficiently kill Gram-negative bacteria. Thus BPI potentially represents a central component of the innate immune system to directly combat micr...

Surfaced enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanotags operating with 1280 nm excitation were constructed from reporter molecules selected from a library of 14 chalcogenopyrylium dyes containing phenyl, 2-thienyl, and 2-selenophenyl substituents and a surface of hollow gold nanoshells (HGNs). These 1280 SERS nanotags are unique as they have multiple chalcogen atoms available which allow them to ads...

A Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) is a benign pituitary cyst derived from the remnant of Rathke's pouch, and usually presents as an intrasellar lesion with varying degrees of suprasellar extension. However, to date, a description of a primary prepontine RCC with no intrasellar component has not been reported. The author describes an exceptional case of a symptomatic RCC located behind the sella turci...

This paper proposes a technique to block adult images displayed in websites. The filter is designed so as to perform even in exceptional cases such as, where face detection is not possible or improper face visibility. This is achieved by using an alternative phase to extract the MFC (Most Frequent Color) from the Human Body regions estimated using a biometric of anthropometric distances between...

An exceptional case of intracranial plasma cell granuloma, located in the right frontoparietal convexity in a 16-year-old boy is reported. Reports of these rare inflammatory lesions locate them primarily in the lungs and in other regions of the body, and only exceptionally in the nervous system; indeed, only three intracranial cases and one other arising from the spinal meninges have been repor...
