Results Since 2006, 281 patients (1-73 year old) were included in the Wilson France database (sex ratio: 1). Mean age at diagnosis was 19 years. First symptoms were neurological for 36% of the patients, hepatic for 38%, renal, psychiatric or hematologic for 11%. Fifteen percent were diagnosed after familial screening. At time of diagnosis, Kayser-Fleischer ring was observed in 95% of patients w...

Emily S. Birkholz, MD, Thomas A. Oetting, MS, MD July 28, 2009 Chief Complaint: Referral for evaluation of Kayser-Fleischer Rings History of Present Illness: The patient was a 25 year old male who had been experiencing a right-sided subcostal tenderness and increasing fatigue for the last several months. He also had noticed dark urine, jaundice and a 60 pound weight loss. The patient was admitt...

BACKGROUND Fleischer's ring is considered to be a characteristic of keratoconus, but we have seen a ring similar to Fleischer's ring in patients with secondary keratoconus, in which the cornea becomes thinner secondarily for undetermined reasons. CASES We report 6 cases of secondary keratoconus with a corneal epithelial ring similar to the Fleischer's ring pattern. OBSERVATIONS In these 6 c...

The hyperspectral satellite EnMAP (Environmental Mapping and Analysis Program) is scheduled to launch in 2014. It is a joint project by the GFZ (Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum), the DLR (German Aerospace Center), Kayser-Threde and OHB-System. Apart from the project management, the DLR is responsible for the development of the ground segment for EnMAP. One of the key steps of the developed proce...

in this note we introduce the notion of weak mccoy rings as a generalization of mccoy rings, and investigate their properties. also we show that, if is a semi-commutative ring, then is weak mccoy if and only if is weak mccoy.

We study the online page replication problem. We present a new randomized algorithm for rings which is 2.37297-competitive, improving the best previous result of 3.16395. We also show that no randomized algorithm is better than 1.75037-competitive on the ring. This is the rst non-trivial lower bound for the problem. We initiate the study of replication in continuous metric spaces (the Nomads' P...

Abstract A rare genetical autosomal recessive disorder called Wilson disease (WD) is characterized by excess copper being deposited in numerous major organs, mainly the liver and brain causing hepatic, neurological mental symptoms. WD caused mutations gene ATP7B. Although not always present, Kayser-Fleischer (KF) ring pathognomonic indication of deposition corneas eyes. The condition worsens wi...

Purpose: To report a case of asymptomatic Wilson’s disease (WD) in which the identification of a Kayser-Fleischer (K-F) ring and its characterization by confocal biomicroscopy led to the diagnosis. Methods: Case report. Results: Confocal biomicroscopy showed clustered, highly reflective, and round foci in Descemet’s membrane, which we believed to be depositions of copper in this patient with as...
