Broad ligament pregnancy is a rare event and diagnosis is often late in our setting. Two multiparous women in early thirties presented for routine antenatal care. Routine ultrasonography revealed midtrimester abdominal pregnancies. Broad ligament pregnancy was diagnosed in both cases at laparotomy and both had excision of pregnancy and salpingo-ophorectomy with satisfactory recovery. Ultrasonog...

The novel correlation method to measure shear-induced self-diffusion in concentrated suspensions of noncolloidal hard spheres which we developed recently [J. Fluid Mech. 375, 297 (1998)] has been applied in a dedicated counterrotating geometry. The counterrotating nature of the setup enables experiments over a wider range of well-controlled dimensionless time (gamma;Deltat in the range 0.03-3.5...

The ankle is a common site of sport injuries. Inversion strains at the ankle joint are a frequent occurrence producing stress on the lateral ligament. The resulting pathology may vary from a slight tear of the ligament to complete disruption of both the talo-fibular and calcaneo-fibular ligaments. Acute ruptures of the lateral ligament should be treated by primary suture (Anderson, K. J. and Le...

Terrestrial habitats surrounding isolated wetlands are a critical resource for many pond-breeding amphibian species, yet few studies have examined the terrestrial distribution of post-metamorphic juveniles and adults. We used an encircling drift fence at a breeding pond in conjunction with partial fences at 90, 172, and 332 m from the wetland to estimate the terrestrial distribution of adult ma...

We present radio interferometric observations of the Algol-type binary system V505 Sagitarii made with the ATNF Compact Array at 6 cm and 3.6 cm over one orbital cycle (1.18 days). We obtained a strong detection of the source (1.5 mJy at 6 cm and 1.4 mJy at 3.6 cm). The radio ux level shows a clear modulation with evidence of eclipses of the emission region at both conjunctions of the binary wh...

  Primary leiomyosarcoma of the broad ligament is a very rare, rapidly progressive and highly malignant gynecological tumor and only 16 cases have been reported in the literature. Here, presentation of leiomyosarcoma of the left broad ligament in a 26-years-old woman is reported. Clinical presentation and histological diagnosis is discussed. The patient has been treated surgically and remains...

background and objective: nanoscopic life forms called nanobacteria or calcifying nanoparticles (cnp) are unconventional agents. these novel organisms are very small (0.1 to 0.5 microns) and possess unusual properties such as high resistance to heat and routine antimicrobial agents. nanobacteria are 100 times smaller than bacteria and protected by a shell of apatite, so they could be as candida...
