An elderly woman is presented who developed a rapidly fatal angiosarcoma of the upper extremity and ipsilateral breast in the setting of longstanding arm lymphedema following a childhood accident.

Information Theory enables the quantification of how much information a neuronal response carries about external stimuli and is hence a natural analytic framework for studying neural coding. The main difficulty in its practical application to spike train analysis is that estimates of neuronal information from experimental data are prone to a systematic error (called "bias"). This bias is an ine...

A diagram of the taste and related olfactory, somatosensory, and visual pathways in primates is shown in Fig. 6.1. Neurophysiological studies in primates provide a foundation for understanding taste, olfactory, and flavor processing and neuroimaging in humans, for investigations of the tuning of individual neurons provide the fundamental information about how these stimuli are encoded in differ...

277 irregular or sinusoidal vessel pattern. High-grade, poorly differentiated lesions can comprise undifferentiated cells, so they are difficult to differentiate from other malignancies. These tumors can be confirmed via immunohistochemistry and are usually positive for factor-VIII-related antigen, vimentin, CD34, and CD31. Wide excision is the only known curative treatment option for the local...

The theory of pseudodifferential operators and Fourier integral operators on compact manifolds is well established and their applications in mathematical physics well known , see for example Hörmander , Duistermaat , Treves 12 . For open (non compact) manifolds this is not the case, and that’s what I would like to focus on in this paper. We are interested in the geometry of the spaces of pseudo...
