BACKGROUND Weber-Christian disease is a controversial entity that histologically presents as a lobular panniculitis. A systemic variant of this disorder, in which visceral fat is affected, has been reported. OBJECTIVE A 29-year-old woman with Weber-Christian disease developed a rapidly enlarging abdominal mass during hospitalization for a flare of her skin condition. The mass resolved spontan...

This report describes the intracranial CT and MR findings in two cases of Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome. The findings are 1) markedly enhancing choroid plexuses, 2) severe cerebral atrophy, 3) cerebral calcifications, and 4) angiomatous leptomeningeal enhancement. The findings may resemble those seen in cases of bilateral Sturge-Weber syndrome. The two diseases should be distinguishable by t...

sturge-weber syndrome (sws) is a very rare congenital disorder that is manifested by facial capillary malformation (port wine stain) which may be associated with capillary – venous malformations affecting many parts such as the brain, eyes facial skin and mucosa and also airways. in this report we present an unusual 28 years old female case of sws that presented with signs and symptoms of sudde...

PURPOSE To assess the size of the choroid plexus in young children with unilateral and bilateral Sturge-Weber syndrome. METHODS Subjects included 15 children 4 years old or younger with Sturge-Weber syndrome. Eleven cases were unilateral and four were bilateral. Unilateral or bilateral involvement was determined by the distribution of abnormal leptomeningeal enhancement on MR images. The diam...

The lattice Boltzmann method for multi-component immiscible fluids is applied to simulations of the behaviour of a drop in a square pipe flow for various Reynolds numbers of 10<Re<500, Weber numbers of 0<We<250 and viscosity ratios of η=1/5, 1, 2 and 5. It is found that, for low Weber numbers, the drop moves straight along a stable position on the diagonal line of the pipe section, and it moves...

In [Sch03], we introduced the concept of Contraction Functions and Contraction Points to solve the point formation problem. We derived several interesting properties and showed that the Weber point is a contraction point. It is an open question, whether there are contraction points besides the Weber point. Here we modify the problem to point formation on a line. We show that in this case, the W...

Sturge-Weber Syndrome (SWS) occurs sporadically with a frequency of approximately 1 in 50,000. SWS is a mesodermal phakomatosis. Klippel-Trenaunay Weber syndrome (KTWS) is another very rare phakomatosis. Overlap between SWS & KTWS is very rarely encountered. We report a 19 months old boy with features of both SWS and KTWS. The reported case had seizures, port wine haemangioma of the right side ...

BACKGROUND Sturge-Weber syndrome is a congenital neurocutaneous disorder characterized by facial port-wine stain, leptomeningeal angioma, and neurological disorders. Sturge-Weber syndrome can coexist with other disorders in a few patients; however, muscular abnormalities have not been reported in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION A Chinese girl presented with extensive po...

This paper centers on the theoretical–methodological interconnections between Weber and the Austrian economists. First, the influence of classical Austrian economics, especially Menger and Böhm-Bawerk, on Weber is reexamined. Then we are concerned with the importance of Weber’s ideas in neoclassical Austrian economics, including Schumpeter, Mises and Hayek. Also, Weber’s legacy in modern econom...

the sociology of law is concerned with explaining the relationship between law and society and studying of the social organization of law (as an order or a system), the social interactions of legal practitioners and people in this area and the meaning that people actually give to sociolegal realities. among the founding fathers of sociology, max weber is one of the most famous thinkers that eve...
