Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent seizures that are not controlled by anticonvulsant medications but remits after administration of pyridoxine. We report on a 30 day-old girl who presented with seizures during the first day of life, initially responsive to anticonvulsant therapy, which remitted within two weeks. Seizures were charact...

The primary goal of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is to detect structural anomalies before they reach a critical level. Because of the potential life-safety and economic benefits, SHM has been widely studied over the past two decades. In recent years there has been an effort to provide solid mathematical and physical underpinnings for these methods; however, most focus on systems that beha...

Takayasu's arteritis (TA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects large vessels, predominantly the aorta and its main branches, leading to vessel wall thickening, fibrosis and stenosis. Cardiac and vascular symptoms are also commonly present at disease onset. In TA with thoracic or abdominal involvement, although murmur can be present at physical examination, the pulse difference may be ...

The present paper studies the in ltration of an incompressible liquid in an initially dry (or partially dry), deformable spongeous material made of an incompressible constituent in the slugow approximation having in mind the application to some industrial processes involving ow through spongeous materials and, in particular, some composite materials manufacturing processes. The resulting initia...

The study of velocity fluctuations in the sedimentation of spheres is complicated by the time evolution of the underlying particle distribution, both at the microscale and in the bulk. We perform a series of experiments and simulations to isolate the effect of an initial, stable stratification in the particle concentration. The directly observed dependence of velocity fluctuations on stratifica...

A 23-year-old third gravida reported to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Govt. Medical College, Calicut, Kerala, as a referred case of suspected partial mole. She was at 34 weeks of gestation and had regular antenatal checkups from a private hospital. She had no previous medical/surgical problems. Her previous deliveries were normal, but the second baby died on the 15th postnatal da...

Joe, 66 years of age, was referred with a 2-week history of a right upper eyelid abnormality. He complained of associated diplopia initially, but this subjectively improved after a few days as the eye became more difficult to open. He had a mild, intermittent headache for 4 weeks, relieved with oral paracetamol. There were no other neurological symptoms. He had no other symptoms of giant cell a...
