De incorruptione exanimis corporis Beatissimae Virginis Mariae

Spectrophotometric behavior of CU Virginis

The spectrophotometric variability of the magnetic CP star CU Vir in the spectral region from 1150 Å to 7850 Å is investigated. This study is based on the archival IUE and published visual spectrophotometric data obtained at different phases of the rotational cycle. The light variations in the wavelength region longer than λ 2000 Å are generally in antiphase to the variations in the shorter wav...

Neonatal tinea corporis.

Clinical images Day 5: widespread indurated truncal plaques due to Trichophyton rubrum superficial dermatophyte infection (A and B) Following chorioamnionitis, a male infant from a remote Indigenous community was born by vaginal breech delivery at 26 weeks’ gestation. On Day 5, indurated, vesicular and erythematous lesions were noted on extensive areas of the back (Box, A and B). Blue light (45...

Observations of radio pulses from CU Virginis

The magnetic chemically peculiar star CU Virginis is a unique astrophysical laboratory for stellar magnetospheres and coherent emission processes. It is the only known main sequence star to emit a radio pulse every rotation period. Here we report on new observations of the CU Virginis pulse profile in the 13 and 20 cm radio bands. The profile is known to be characterised by two peaks of 100% ci...

Pediculosis corporis: an ancient itch.

Lice are obligatory parasites surviving on blood meals obtained from the host, with their mouthparts modified to enable piercing and sucking. The infestation with body lice, also known as pediculosis corporis, is a common worldwide problem that affects people of all races. Body lice are preferentially seen in cold climates, under conditions of poor sanitation and crowding. Pediculosis corporis ...
