INTRODUCTION Progressive hemifacial atrophy, known as Parry-Romberg syndrome (PRS), was first described by Parry in 1825. There is a progressive atrophy of facial tissues including skin, bones and muscles. Ophthalmic disorders are common and include keratitis, uveitis, cataract, ipsilateral enophthalmos, optic neuritis, retinal vasculitis and scleral melting. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a p...

[59] Milman Parry’s work attempted to demonstrate the traditional character of Homeric poetry. Despite a later shift in focus from the concept of “traditional” to “oral” (Finnegan 1991: 120), with at least the implication of a relatively open system as opposed to a relatively closed one, Parry’s early emphasis on tradition was so strong that his theory tended to be read as one discounting, if n...

Introduction: this is a case of a patient with the rare entity of Parry-romberg syndrome (Prs) which discuss the etiological association with preceding head trauma as well as the possible therapeutic role of vitamin b12, with a brief review of literature. case report: A 22-year-old female presented with a history of head injury preceding the progressive onset of right-sided facial pain and atro...

A simple Parry number is a real number β > 1 such that the Rényi expansion of 1 is finite, of the form dβ(1) = t1 · · · tm. We study the palindromic structure of infinite aperiodic words uβ that are the fixed point of a substitution associated with a simple Parry number β. It is shown that the word uβ contains infinitely many palindromes if and only if t1 = t2 = · · · = tm−1 ≥ tm. Numbers β sat...

A six-year-old girl presented with skin lesions on the left cheek at 5 years of age. On examination diffuse sclerosis on the left cheek was noted, hypoplasia of left half of the face and deviation of mouth and lips to left side were noted. Investigations show normal blood counts and rheumatoid factor and antinuclear antibody were negative. CT scan of brain was normal. Fundus examination reveale...

I discuss various mathematical constructions that combine together to provide a natural setting for discrete and continuum geometric models of defective crystals. In particular I provide a quite general list of ‘plastic strain variables’, which quantifies inelastic behaviour, and exhibit rigorous connections between discrete and continuous mathematical structures associated with crystalline mat...

The Cambrian fossil Amiskwia sagittiformis has puzzled palaeontologists for more than a century, but recent re-investigation of its morphology suggested close relationship with the bilaterian clade Gnathifera, comprising Rotifera, Gnathostomulida and Micrognathozoa. Since already been considered closely related to Chaetognatha, this new interpretation supports molecular developmental studies fi...

The factor complexity of the infinite word uβ canonically associated to a non-simple Parry number β is studied. Our approach is based on the notion of special factors introduced by Berstel and Cassaigne. At first, we give a handy method for determining infinite left special branches; this method is applicable to a broad class of infinite words which are fixed points of a primitive substitution....
