Tim Bartness (Fig. 1) was a friend, mentor, collaborator and leader to many scientists, younger and older, across a variety of disciplines. He died September 24, 2015 at the age of 62 after a one-year battle with multiple myeloma. Tim not only helped educate many of us, but also challenged us to think critically and to laugh heartily about both the bad and the good we experienced in life. Tim w...

We herein presented a case of sympathetic ophthalmia induced by chemical burns. A 39-year-old male was referred to our retinal clinic complaining of sharply decreased vision in his right eye, with photophobia and headache. He had suffered severe chemical burns five months ago, and his left eye underwent amniotic membrane transplantation combined with tarsorrhaphy for persistent corneal ulcerati...

We report the case of a 61-year-old man with squamous cell carcinoma of the left lung and mediastinal lymph node metastases who received nivolumab and experienced a better antitumor effect than expected but died soon afterward. A clinical analysis showed that the grades of the treatment-related events did not cause death. The immunological impact of this treatment on his body, especially at his...

Abstract This chapter explores the failure of Ricœur and Nanterre students to engage with each other through discussion. In mid-1960s, had sought an alternative higher education model break hegemony Sorbonne as a place huge lectures, distant tutors classical education. He was sympathetic students’ rebelliousness, yet his dream equality class, gender subject discipline on campus failed; experien...

POURFOUR DU PETIT iS of interest in the history of neuroanatomy for his observations and controlled experiments which led to the correction of the earlier view that the 'intercostal nerve' is of cranial origin. The so-called intercostal nerve was the name which had been given by Thomas Willis to the sympathetic chain. This, of course, is one of the two divisions of the autonomic system which in...

INTRODUCTION A non-recurrent course is a rare anatomic variation of the inferior laryngeal nerve (ILN). Bilateral extra-laryngeal bifurcation of the ILN seldom occurs before its laryngeal entry. Anastomosis between the ILN and cervical sympathetic chain is another rare anatomic feature. The prevalence of extra-laryngeal branching of the non-recurrent nerve is unknown. We present an example of t...
