We investigate the Mordell constant of certain families of lattices, in particular, of lattices arising from totally real fields. We define the almost sure value κμ of the Mordell constant with respect to certain homogeneous measures on the space of lattices, and establish a strict inequality κμ1 < κμ2 when the μi are finite and supp(μ1) supp(μ2). In combination with known results regarding the...

Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a rare lethal autosomal recessive condition which was first described by Johann Friedrich Meckel in 1822 and GB Gruber in 1934. More than 200 cases have been reported worldwide with an incidence ranging from 1:13,250 to 1:140,000 live births. A 21-year-old female with G3 A2 L0, presented with twin pregnancy with history of previous two anencephalic pregnancies. The pre...

conclusions cpaa provided not only better functional results than scaa, but also improved quality of life, thus may be the better choice. background the tendency towards sphincter preserving for low rectal cancers with low anterior resection, has led to the technique of straight coloanal anastomosis (scaa) or colonic j-pouch anal anastomosis (cpaa). objectives the aim of our study was to compar...

Introduction: Esophageal cancer is a common gastro intestinal malignancy. One of the most common techniques of surgery in esophageal cancer is transhiatal esophagectomy with esophagogastric anastomosis in the neck. This technique is accompanied by complications like chronic gastero-esophegeal reflux and late stenosis. This study was designed to compare the risk of complications after two surgic...

background in this study, given the importance of gastrointestinal anastomosis in surgical procedures, attempts have been made to compare the results of employing magnetic compression anastomosis and magnetic coils in intestinal anastomosis of rats. materials and methods this study was an experimental trial on 60 rats which had been randomly divided into two experiment (30) and control (30) gro...

A firma entre Áustria e Itália do Acordo “De Gasperi – Gruber”, em 1946, teve por objetivo regulamentar a anexação de territórios antigo Tirol austríaco pela 1919 sem, contudo, prever um plebiscito para população. Mesmo assim, houve concessão uma gama significativa direitos às instituições aos cidadãos dos anexados. O presente estudo, com base na técnica pesquisa documental bibliográfica, utili...

Meckel Gruber syndrome was originally described by Meckel in 1822, later by Gruber and more recently by Opitz and Howe.1 It is a lethal autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the triad of encephalocele, polycystic kidneys and polydactyly. Prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis of this condition has been reported extensively during the second and third trimeter. In the low risk population th...
