orofacial granulomatosis(ofg) is a granulomatous disease of the orofacial region which appears usually as a persistent and/or recurrent labial soft tissues swelling in the orofacial region and is characterized histologically by a granulomatous inflammation. ofg may cause significant cosmetic and functional problems but can be prevented if the disease is diagnosed early and promptly treated. the...

Relevance. Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's granulomatosis) is a rare disease in which oral cavity symptoms manifest as 'strawberry' gingivitis. Description of the clinical case. The paper presents early systemic – granulomatosis manifestation gingival hyperplasia 1 patient, form so-called "strawberry gingivitis", another non-specific ulcer on mucous mem-brane soft palate. After exam...

We study the Wegner-Wilson loops in string-net model of Levin and Wen presence a string tension. The latter is responsible for phase transition from topological deconfined (weak tension) to trivial confined (strong tension). analyze behavior all both limiting cases an arbitrary input theory model. Using fluxon picture, we compute perturbatively first contributions perimeter law as function quan...

In the first part of these notes, we review some of the recent developments in the study of the spectral properties of Wigner matrices. In the second part, we present a new proof of a Wegner estimate for the eigenvalues of a large class of Wigner matrices. The Wegner estimate gives an upper bound for the probability to find an eigenvalue in an interval I, proportional to the size |I| of the int...

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is characterised by granulomatous necrotising inflammatory lesions of the upper and lower respiratory tract, often associated with pauci-immune glomerulonephritis. The diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis is made according to the classification criteria of the ACR criteria for granulomatosis with polyangiitis. We present two cases of granulomatosi...

In The illusion of conscious will, Daniel Wegner offers an exciting, informative, and potentially threatening treatise on the psychology of action. I offer several interpretations of the thesis that conscious will is an illusion. The one Wegner seems to suggest is “modular epiphenomenalism”: conscious experience of will is produced by a brain system distinct from the system that produces action...

wegener’s granulomatosis is a necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis involving small and medium sized vessels. the syndrome is classically defined as having involvement of kidney, lungs and upper respiratory tract (i.e. sinuses). wegener’s granulomatosis may be present in other autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, particulary systemic lupus erythematosis (sle), but most frequently has been associ...

INTRODUCTION Accurate evaluation of disease status is very important in treatment of Wegener's granulomatosis CASE PRESENTATION A 73-year-old Japanese man presented with chronic sinusitis and otitis media. He was admitted to our hospital because of bilateral lung nodules. Cytoplasmic antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody was negative but his rheumatoid factor was high. He was diagnosed with lim...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stroke is an uncommon sequela of Wegener's granulomatosis, resulting primarily from vasculitic infiltration of small to medium-sized vessels. We describe a young patient with Wegener's granulomatosis and basilar artery occlusion. CASE DESCRIPTION A 26-year-old man with histopathologically confirmed Wegener's granulomatosis suffered a brain stem stroke 24 hours after ope...
