Feeling hurt, let down, betrayed, disappointed, or wronged by another human being is a universal experience. In the face of such injury, negative feelings (e.g., anger, resentment, disappointment) are common. Motivation to avoid the source of the harm, or even a desire to retaliate or seek revenge, is also typical. Indeed, revenge occurs across species (Aureli, Cozzolino, Cordischi, & Scucchi, ...

The Oxford English Dictionary defines research as “searching again or repeatedly.” In practice, the repeat component of research has become a fundamental part of highquality experimental science. Despite this standard, the published scientific record has recently come under fire for significant numbers of reports that, in whole or in part, are not reproducible. The scientific community must act...

Body The same kind of incongruity described in the Title-Abstract relationship above can also occur between the abstract and the body of the paper wherein words and distinctions drawn in the abstract do not seem to appear in the body of the paper. Another lack of unity that can also exist between the abstract and the paper is the order of ideas presented in the abstract does not correspond with...

Pancreatic tuberculosis is a rare disease. It can be easily confused with malignancy or pancreatitis on imaging. This could result in unnecessary surgery. As this is a treatable disease it is imperative to diagnose this condition pre-operatively. We report three cases of pancreatic tuberculosis that were diagnosed by endoscopic ultrasound. In conclusion, endoscopic ultrasound is the diagnostic ...

Recurrence of cardiac myxoma is a rare condition, observed in about 3% of patients in sporadic cases, although it is more frequent in familial ones. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain such recurrence, and the importance of increased vascularization as a facilitating feature is the subject of debate. The authors report the case of a non-familial right atrial myxoma, unusual for bot...

Hyperammonaemia is a potentially life-threatening condition that is often neglected diagnostically. It presents with non-specific symptoms, such as encephalopathy. Delayed recognition leads to potentially irreversible neurological damage. We report 3 patients who on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain demonstrated a rare pattern of cortical signal change, which spared the perirolandic cor...

The phenomenon of chimerism is reviewed against an understanding of adaptive immunity in vertebrates. It is shown that chimerism can be regarded as a ubiquitous condition and this suggests that monophylesis has played little part in evolution. It is suggested that the adaptive immune response has a special role in facilitating the development of chimerism and that the consensus view of adaptive...

Edentulism of a long standing nature leading to severe alveolar ridge atrophy with a resultant thin ridge often pose a great challenge to the clinicians for rendering implant supported prosthesis in that region. The ideal treatment in such a scenario will be the ridge expansion procedure for achieving an increase in the available bone volume at the implantation site. The space thus created betw...
