Four cases of polyarthritis concomitant with active tuberculosis is reported. In three patients pulmonary tuberculosis was confirmed by identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage specimens, and in another one tuberculous lymphadenitis was confirmed by excisional biopsy. In all patients arthritis resolved by tuberculosis treatment and did not recur ...

Renormalization factors for ∆S = 1 four-quark operators in the effective weak Hamiltonian are perturbatively evaluated in domain-wall QCD. The one-loop corrections of ∆S = 1 four-quark operators consist of two types of diagrams: one is gluon exchange between quark lines and the other is penguin diagrams containing quark loops. Combining both contributions, our results allow a lattice calculatio...

In 1977, M. Matsumoto and R. Miron [9] constructed an orthonormal frame for an n-dimensional Finsler space, called ‘Miron frame’. The present authors [1, 2, 3, 10, 11] discussed four-dimensional Finsler spaces equipped with such frame. M. Matsumoto [7, 8] proved that in a three-dimensional Berwald space, all the main scalars are h-covariant constants and the h-connection vector vanishes. He als...
