Hydatid disease is prevalent in most sheep-raising countries in Asia , Australia , East, and Southern Europe. Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is often manifested by a slow growing cyst mass. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost every parts of the body. However the lungs and liver are the most involved locations. Due to the vital cycle of the parasite the thyroid gland is an un...

When renin is administered intramuscularly to the rat, massive proteinuria occurs without a significant elevation of mean arterial blood pressure. The intravenous administration of renin to normal rats results in a great increase in urinary protein excretion. This response to renin is abolished by bilateral adrenalectomy. While the adrenalectomized rat fails to respond to intravenous renin with...

BACKGROUND This is a follow-up study to our previously reported data on local recurrence rates in patients whose lumpectomy margins were evaluated by intraoperative imprint cytology (IIC(M)). The purpose of this study was to compare local recurrence rates for patients whose lumpectomy margins were evaluated with IIC(M) with local recurrence rates of those not evaluated by IIC(M). METHODS A to...

(usually 2 to 4 specimens depending on their size) excisional specimens from anatomic sites of similar consistency on the same patient may be sectioned together and mounted on one glass slide by the single section method. The single section method saves time by omitting the division each specimen into smaller sections, which reduces the number of specimens that must be cut, stained, and cover s...

Intradural disc herniation is found in only 0.3% of cases of disc herniation. The majority of these (>95%) are found in the lumbar region, with fewer than 5% occurring in the thoracic region [1,2]. While imaging occasionally raises suspicion of an intradural component to a herniated disc, the majority of cases are diagnosed intraoperatively [1-6]. We describe a case of an intradural thoracic di...

Compose an “Annotated Outline” for your Conference Paper. The Outline must be 900 words (minimum) in length, including your Abstract and Key Words, but NOT INCLUDING your Sources, Additional Sources, or Acknowledgments. Note that this is NOT A TRADITIONAL OUTLINE; your Annotated Outline is NOT a list of topics and subtopics. Your Outline must provide a detailed “plan of action” for your eventua...

The energy dependence of a given process teaches us about the dynamics of this process. If the energy dependence can be described by a Reggetype approach a la Donnachie and Landshoff [1] we call the process soft. The total hadron-proton cross sections dependence on center-of-mass energy exemplifies the behaviour of soft processes.. If the energy dependence can be described by perturbative QCD (...

During the years 1994–97, the emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS of 27 GeV average neutrino energy. In total about 100, 000 charged-current neutrino interactions with at least one identified muon were located in the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed, using newly developed automatic scanning systems. Charmed particles w...

We show that for d/2 ≤ k ≤ d, the relative interior of every k-face of a d-simplex ∆d can be intersected by a 2(d−k)-dimensional affine flat. Bezdek, Bisztriczky, and Connelly’s results [2] show that the condition k ≥ d/2 above cannot be dropped and hence raise the question of determining, for all 0 ≤ k, j < d, an upper bound on the function c(j,k;d), defined as the smallest number of j-flats, ...
