or periodic swelling in young women has been described for many years (Thorn, 1957) the episodic nature of physical signs and unfamiliarity with its variable presentation may frequently delay diagnosis. This, together with a lack of sustained clinical response to diuretics, the apparent but inappropriate symptomatic therapy, has caused considerable resentment and frustration to patient and doct...

Impatiens balsamina L. is a plant belonging to the family Balsaminaceae. In Thailand, I. balsamina has traditionally been used for the treatment of thorn or glasspuncture wounds, abscesses, ingrown nails and chronic ulcers caused by allergic reaction of detergents (Fransworth and Bunyapraphatsara, 1992). The groups of compounds commonly found in this plant are naphthoquinones, coumarins, phenol...

The diagnostic approach to a case of septic monoarthritis involves the basic principle of identifying the organism. Simple as this sounds, it is amazing how many cases become 'difficult cases' when no organism can been isolated. Penetrating trauma by a thorn resulting in reactive arthritis can mimic septic arthritis very closely. Highlighting this rare etiology and the approach to a case of mon...

The oribatid mite genus Epidamaeus Bulanova-Zachvatkina, 1957 from China is reviewed, and a list and key to all known species from China are provided. A new species, Epidamaeus conjungenussp. n. is identified, and its morphological descriptions and illustrations are also given. The distinct characteristics of Epidamaeus conjungenussp. n. is the coterminous ridge connected to the base of the not...

A series of measurements has been performed on a THORN EMI 9351 phototube in order to investigate its response to a low light intensity. Precise procedures to determine the intensity of the incident photon #ux have been developed and compared. The data show that the various approaches give consistent and reliable results, thus allowing the precise calibration of the device for applications of p...

Three cases of bone changes caused by foreign bodies that appeared to be tumoral lesions or pseudotumors, were observed in young male patients who presented with pain, localized inflammation, and radiographic and bone scan findings suggestive of tumoral or pseudotumoral lesions. Accurate diagnosis was made at surgery when the foreign body was retrieved. Following removal of the foreign body, po...
