This case report illustrates an incidental finding of asymptomatic Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome in a 34-year old woman undergoing laparoscopy due to spontaneous ruptured ectopic pregnancy after bilateral tubal ligation. To our knowledge, this is the first that reported atypical presentation twofold aspect: presence perihepatic adhesions associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis...

The most frequent intraabdominal complication after lost stones are abscesses, which account for 65% of complications. The main risk factors are: old age, male gender, surgical difficulty, leakage of lithiasis of more than 1.5 cm or more than 15 stones, perihepatic location and pigmented gallstones. We report the case of a 73-year-old man with a medical history of hypertension, diabetes, chroni...

Scripting languages, such as PHP, are among the most widely used and fastest growing programming languages, particularly for web applications. Static analysis is an important tool for detecting security flaws, finding bugs, and improving compilation of programs. However, static analysis of scripting languages is difficult due to features found in languages such as PHP. These features include ru...

Pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia (PHP-Ia) is characterized by multihormone resistance and an Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) phenotype. It is caused by heterozygous mutations in GNAS gene. Clinical and biochemical findings of a female PHP-Ia patient were evaluated from age of diagnosis (6.5 years) to 14.5 years of age. The patient had short stature, brachydactyly, and subcutaneous hete...

We provide a number of practical techniques and algorithms for exploiting randomness vulnerabilities in PHP applications.We focus on the predictability of password reset tokens and demonstrate how an attacker can take over user accounts in a web application via predicting or algorithmically derandomizing the PHP core randomness generators. While our techniques are designed for the PHP language,...

PURPOSE Type I pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP-I) can be subclassified into Ia and Ib, depending on the presence or absence of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy's phenotype, diminished α-subunit of the stimulatory G protein (G(s)α) activity and multihormonal resistance. Whereas PHP-Ia is mainly associated with heterozygous inactivating mutations in G(s)α-coding exons of GNAS, PHP-Ib is caused ...

Public health physicians (PHPs) are certified physicians who are serving in a public health center or subcenter in a rural village, instead of serving in the military. However, the PHP program has recently become the subject of a profound debate, over 30 years after its adoption. In this study, we attempted to ascertain physicians' perspectives on the PHP program, including: whether the PHP pol...
