Pylephlebitis is defined as septic thrombophlebitis of the portal venous system. It usually occurs due to secondary infection in the region drained into the portal system. Early diagnosis and treatment decreased the mortality rate drastically, even though the mortality rate is 30-50% due to a delay in diagnosis from its atypical clinical findings and low index of suspicion. We describe a case o...

and soft tissue, and commonly metastasizes to the lungs, showing multiple nodules. The metastatic lung lesions rarely cavitate(1-5), though a angiosarcoma with cavitary metastasis can be complicated by hemopneumothorax(1-5). Metastatic lung lesions showing both cavities and pulmonary hemorrhage on high resolution CT have not, however, been reported. We describe a case of angiosarcoma of the sca...

Branching laws for the irreducible tensor representations of the general linear and orthogonal groups are well-known. Furthermore, these laws have a simple form [1]. In the case of the symplectic groups, however, the branching law becomes more complicated and is expressed in terms of a determinant. We derive this result here bybrute force applied to the Weyl character formulas, though it could ...

1. So called blockade of the reticulo-endothelial system results in a marked increase in the platelet count. 2. The count rapidly becomes very high, shows a sharp partial recoil and then a gradual diminution even though the blockade be continued. 3. The mechanism regulating the number of platelets is a complicated one. 4. Apparently phagocytosis by cells of the reticulo-endothelial system is no...

The spherically symmetric volume operator is discussed and all its eigenstates and eigenvalues are computed. Even though the operator is more complicated than its homogeneous analog, the spectra are related in the sense that the larger spherically symmetric volume spectrum adds fine structure to the homogeneous spectrum. The formulas of this paper complete the derivation of an explicit calculus...

Circumcision is a very common urological practice. Even though it is relatively safe, it is not a complication-free procedure. We describe a patient that underwent a neonatal circumcision complicated by iatrogenic complete glans amputation. Reconstructive repair of a neoglans using a modified traditional method was used. Postoperative followup to 90 days is illustrated. Despite being a simple p...

Primary angle closure glaucoma is usually a bilateral disease, though it may be asymmetrical. However, it is unusual to see advanced glaucoma in one eye and no disk damage in the other. We present a case of unilateral angle closure glaucoma complicated by an optic disk pit and iridociliary cysts. How to cite this article: Kaushik S, Ichhpujani P, Kaur S, Pandav SS. Optic Disk Pit and Iridocilia...

Pregnancies complicated by fetal haemoglobin (Hb) Bart’s disease are associated with poor perinatal outcomes, which include: early onset of hydrops fetalis, intrauterine or early neonatal death, and a higher risk of maternal pre-eclampsia.1 Even though there are case reports of survivors with or without intrauterine transfusion, postnatal regular transfusion is necessary until bone marrow trans...

INTRODUCTION Gastrointestinal lipomas, though rare are the second most common benign tumors of the colon after adenomatous polyps. The diagnosis is difficult and is often mistaken for adenomatous polyp or cancer (1). Management of incidentally detected asymptomatic large colon lipomas has not been well studied. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of asymptomatic colon lipoma that wa...

We consider the algebra isomorphism found by Frenkel and Ding between the RLL and the Drinfeld realizations of Uq(ĝl(2)). After we note that this is not a Hopf algebra isomorphism, we prove that there is a unique Hopf algebra structure for the Drinfeld realization so that this isomorphism becomes a Hopf algebra isomorphism. Though more complicated, this Hopf algebra structure is also closed, ju...
