duplication of inferior vena cava (ivc) is a rare fi nding in radiologic studies and its coincidence with thrombosis is even rarer. here we described a rare case with duplication of ivc and symptomatic venous thrombosis of her lower extrimity.

Duodenal duplications (DD) are extremely rare and comprise less than 5% of all intestinal dupl...

Colonic duplication is a very rare congenital anomaly that is usually detected in infancy and early childhood. In the English literature, 6 cases of Y-shaped colonic duplication have been reported since 1953. We conducted a review of the reported cases, and we present a new case of a Y-shaped duplication of the sigmoid colon manifesting as long-term abdominal pain and constipation.

relative to a hereditary torsion theory $tau$ we introduce a dimension for a module $m$, called {em $tau$-rank of} $m$, which coincides with the reduced rank of $m$ whenever $tau$ is the goldie torsion theory. it is shown that the $tau$-rank of $m$ is measured by the length of certain decompositions of the $tau$-injective hull of $m$. moreover, some relations between the $tau$-rank of $m$ and c...

background :according to numerous studies, fms-like tyrosine kinase 3, internal tandem duplication, and the d835 mutation are associated with a poor prognostic clinical outcome in acute myeloid leukemia patients. detection of the fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 mutation in patients who present with normal karyotype acute myeloid leukemia helps in both the understanding of the disease and the treatme...

Gene duplication is an important mechanism of molecular evolution. It offers a fast track to modification, diversification, redundancy or rescue of gene function. However, duplication may also be neutral or (slightly) deleterious, and often ends in pseudo-geneisation. Here, we investigate the phylogenetic distribution of ultra large gene families on long and short evolutionary time scales. In p...

UNLABELLED B-cell lymphomas frequently contain genomic rearrangements that lead to oncogene activation by heterologous distal regulatory elements. We used a novel approach called "pinpointing enhancer-associated rearrangements by chromatin immunoprecipitation," or PEAR-ChIP, to simultaneously map enhancer activity and proximal rearrangements in lymphoma cell lines and patient biopsies. This met...

We present a comparative genomics approach for inferring ancestral genome organization and evolutionary scenarios, based on present-day genomes represented as ordered gene sequences with duplicates. We develop our methodology for a model of evolution restricted to duplication and loss, and then show how to extend it to other content-modifying operations, and to inversions. From a combinatorial ...
