We report a case of a giant adrenal pseudocyst, found incidentally in a 45 year old female. Her CT scan showed a 7.5cm x 7.3cm suprarenal mass and she underwent a laparoscopic transperitoneal adrenalectomy. We report this case and review the literature regarding the diagnosis and management of adrenal pseudocysts.

By design, the operation of a large 3MW permanent magnet motor-driven pump system has the potential to improve system efficiency and reliability to lower operator costs. Subsea electrical system design and motor performance must be predictable and validated prior to deployment. Critical elements of this system include successful remote start-up and step up–step down transformers. A number of di...

Ventricular myosin (βMys) is the motor protein in cardiac muscle generating force using ATP hydrolysis free energy to translate actin. In the cardiac muscle sarcomere, myosin and actin filaments interact cyclically and undergo rapid relative translation facilitated by the low duty cycle motor. It contrasts with high duty cycle processive myosins for which persistent actin association is the pri...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stepping limb and step direction on step distance and the association of step distance and stepping laterality in step difference with walking ability and motor dysfunction. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were thirty-nine patients with chronic hemiparesis as a result of stroke, who performed the MSL (Maximum Step Length) te...

The purpose of this study was to examine longitudinal change in gait and motor function in pre-manifest Huntington's disease (HD).We examined ten pre-manifest subjects at baseline, one and five years. Quantitative gait data were collected with an electronic mat (GAITRite®). We analyzed measures related to speed (velocity, step length, cadence), asymmetry (step length difference), dynamic balanc...

The stepping behavior of single kinesin-1 motor proteins has been studied in great detail. However, in cells, these motors often do not work alone but rather function in small groups when they transport cellular cargo. Until now, the cooperative interactions between motors in such groups were poorly understood. A fundamental question is whether two or more motors that move the same cargo step i...

Defecation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is achieved by a cyclical stereotyped motor program. The first step in each cycle is contraction of a set of posterior body muscles (pBoc), followed by contraction of a set of anterior body muscles (aBoc), and finally contraction of specialized anal muscles that open the anus and expel intestinal contents (Exp). By testing existing behavioral mu...

carefully for the possibility of filarial infection giving rise to giant urticaria. Though as yet no relationship has been established between filariasis and giant urticaria, one important result of this investigation which lasted over the period 1926 to 1929 was the definite finding of the relationship of urticaria to filarial infection. During this period, we have observed several characteris...

Is the stock market boom a result of the baby boom? This paper develops an overlapping generations model in which a baby boom is modeled as a high realization of a random birth rate, and the price of capital is determined endogenously by a convex cost of adjustment. A baby boom increases national saving and investment and thus causes an increase in the price of capital. The price of capital is ...

Lipoblastoma is a rare benign tumor that occurs in infancy and early childhood, accounting to less than 1% of all childhood neoplasms. About 20 cases of mediastinal lipoblastoma have been reported in English literature. We report a rare case of mediastinal lipoblastoma in a 6-year-old boy. The tumor weighing 996 gm was successfully excised. Clinical manifestations, radiological and histopatholo...
