Buschke-Loewenstein tumor (BLT) is a giant condyloma acuminatum which is very rare and commonly affects the anogenital region. The malignant transformation and localization in penis is very rare. This article aims to present a case with BLT with malignant transformation in penis. A 59-year-old male patient was referred, who has have been suffering from a cauliflower-like lesion in the penis for...

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) was discovered in the farms of the Karamay suburb, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the 1990s. Between 1992 and 1994, a house-to-house survey revealed a prevalence of 1.0-1.6% in the residents. The clinical types of skin lesions included papule, plaque, ulcer and nodular prurigo. Observations verified that, in some cases, the skin lesions healed spontaneously in ...

The role of the tropics in triggering, transmitting, and amplifying interhemispheric climate signals remains a key debate in paleoclimatology. Tropical glacier fluctuations provide important insight on regional paleoclimatic trends and forcings, but robust chronologies are scarce. Here, we report precise moraine ages from the Cordillera Vilcabamba (13 degrees 20'S) of southern Peru that indicat...

We studied a three-node quantum network that enables bidirectional communication between two nodes with a half-duplex relay node for transmitting classical messages. A decode-and-forward protocol is used to perform the communication in two phases. In the first phase, the messages of two nodes are transmitted to the relay node. The capacity of the first phase is well-known by previous works. In ...

OuR knowledge of the interior of the eye has been greatly advanced by the use of the ophthalmoscope, slit lamp, and gonioscope, but the region about and forward from the ora serrata remains invisible. Therefore the nature of any pathological process must be deduced indirectly from its effect on the lens, vitreous, and retina, or by transillumination. A new endoscope has therefore been devised w...

In this paper, we propose network coding, as an efficient and low cost option for the implementation of blockMarkov coding for cooperative communications. Cooperative communications is a strategy where users, besides transmitting their own encoded information, also relay re-encoded versions of other users’ information to a common destination. Our work is motivated by the recent information-theo...

The role of the cAMP pathway in LTP was studied in the CA1 region of hippocampus. Widely spaced trains of high frequency stimulation generated cAMP postsynaptically via NMDA receptors and calmodulin, consistent with the Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated stimulation of postsynaptic adenylyl cyclase. The early phase of LTP produced by the same pattern of high frequency stimulation was dependent on postsyn...

One of the main complications of the orthognatic surgeries of mandible and maxilla is the intraoperative bleeding due to the high blood supply of the region. Severe bleeding increases the possibility of need for blood transfusion. Transfusion increases the risk of transmitting blood-borne diseases and blood mismatch reactions. In order to decrease the incidence of blood transfusion and its comp...

When migrating, people carry their cultural and genetic history, changing both the transmitting and the receiving populations. This phenomenon changes the structure of the population of a country. The question is how to analyze the impact on the border region. A demographic and geopolitical analysis of borders requires an interdisciplinary approach. An isonymic analysis can be a useful tool. Su...

We have fabricated a bandgap-guiding hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) capable of transmitting and compressing ultrashort pulses in the green spectral region around 532 nm. When propagating subpicosecond pulses through 1 m of this fiber, we have observed soliton-effect temporal compression by up to a factor of 3 to around 100 fs. This reduces the wavelength at which soliton effects have ...
