In this work, we revisit some well-known results in the theory of initial and progressive enlargement of a reference filtration F with a random time τ , providing, under an equivalence assumption slightly stronger than the absolute continuity assumption of Jacod, alternative proofs to the already existing ones. We also characterize martingales in the enlarged filtrations in terms of martingales...

Gingival enlargement is an abnormal growth of the periodontal tissue. Several causes of gingival enlargement are known, and the most recognized is drug-induced (iatrogenic) gingival enlargement (GE) . Antiepileptic (Phenytoin PNT), Immunosuppressant (Cyclosporin A), Calcium channel blockers ( Nifedipine) are implicated. GE is the most common ADR in the young adults and children receiving PNT as...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014204670 DESCRIPTION Gingival overgrowth occurs as a side effect of some systemic medications. It is now well established that phenytoin is one such agent. It has multiple therapeutic indications ranging from convulsive disorders and neuralgias to cardiac arrhythmia. The incidence rat...

different changes in shape of the urethra are full}7 given. Several good plates are here figured. The various theories of the cause of the enlargement are discussed. The author holds the view that senility has little or nothing to do with it; he decides that the analogy with uterine fihromyomata cannot be accepted; also against the view that enlargement of the prostate is one of the events that...

In fractal coding technique, an image is encoded by making use of its self-similarity property. The image can be reconstructed with some well-defined contractive mappings based on this property and hence, in theory, the reconstructed image can be of any desirable size by using an initial image of appropriate size during the decoding process. However, in practice, the enlarged image is always de...

The subject of this work is such an important one that we welcome this second edition as evidence of the steady advance of surgery in the treatment of a very distressing form of disease. The "further improvements" foretold by the author, in the preface of the first edition, have been made in discarding operations which experience has shown to be of doubtful utility. The keynote to a correct und...

The prostate gland is about the size and shape of a walnut and weighs in at around one ounce. Women seem to know more about this little gland than men do. About 11% of men don't know that they have this gland in their body. Only 15% of men have ever heard of the term prostatitis. Of the men who do know about prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate), about 16% of them think that this condition...

Vascular enlargement is a characteristic feature of angiopoietin-1 (Ang1)-induced changes in adult blood vessels. However, it is unknown whether tissues having Ang1-mediated vascular enlargement have more blood flow or whether the enlargement is reversible. We have recently created a soluble, stable and potent Ang1 variant, COMP-Ang1. In the present study, we investigated the effects of varied ...
