In this paper, we build a solid framework for the use of KMS-weights on C *-algebras. We will use another definition than the one introduced by Combes in [4], but we will prove that they are equivalent. However, the subject of KMS-weights is approached from a somewhat different angle. We introduce a construction procedure for KMS-weights, prove the most important properties of them, construct t...

Aim Kaposiform hemangiondothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular tumor, commonly associated with Kasaback-Merritt phenomenon characterized by thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy. We report a case of pancreatic KHE presenting with neonatal duodenal obstruction and Kasaback-Merritt phenomenon. Case Report A full term male baby presented with bile stained vomiting on Day 3 of life. Contrast s...

BACKGROUND Tufted angioma (TA) is a rare benign vascular tumor that mostly appears during infancy or early childhood. Histologic tufts of capillaries infiltrating the whole dermis in a "cannonball" distribution pattern associated with dilated lymphatic vessels are characteristic of the disease and confirm the diagnosis. Few case series of TA have been published, and the morphologic structure an...

Some textbooks on general and neurological medicine give the impression that cerebral arteriosclerosis is an important cause of Parkinsonism (e.g., Alpers, 1945; Yater, 1949; Purves-Stewart and Worster-Drought, 1952; Wilson, 1955; Cecil and Loeb, 1959; Grinker, Bucy, and Sahs, 1959; Merritt, 1959; Baker, 1962; Brain, 1962). Whether or not this is so, it is often very difficult to distinguish cl...

It is well known that the density and anisotropy profile in the inner regions of a stellar system with positive phase-space distribution function are not fully independent. Here we study the interplay between density profile and orbital anisotropy at large radii in physically admissible (consistent) stellar systems. The analysis is carried out by using two-component (n-γ,γ1) spherical self-cons...

We report a case of infiltrating angiolipoma who presented with a large mass on the shoulder and the signs of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. She improved dramatically within one month and the mass completely disappeared after six months of interferon treatment.

The properties of the analitycal phase–space distribution function (DF) of two–component spherical self–consistent galaxy models, where one density distribution follows the Hernquist profile, and the other a γ = 0 model, with different total masses and core radii (H0 models), presented in Ciotti (1998, C98), are here summarized. A variable amount of radial Osipkov– Merritt (OM) orbital anisotro...
