Opium trade and the spread of HIV in the Golden Crescent
The Golden Crescent region of South Asia-comprising Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan-is a principal global site for opium production and distribution. Over the past few decades, war, terrorism, and a shifting political landscape have facilitated an active heroin trade throughout the region. Protracted conflict has exacerbated already dire socio-economic conditions and political strife within the...
متن کاملCrescent Mastopexy with Augmentation
Mastopexy associated with augmentation for small vol ume and mild ptotic breasts has historically challenged plastic surgeons’ creativity. The perfect balance between breast volume, scar, shape, and longlasting results has been the main focus of the work of many authors. Circumareolar, periareolar, and donut mastopexy are different names for a common approach to patients with a ptotic breast....
متن کاملThe temporal crescent syndrome.
Retro-chiasmal lesions almost always give rise to homonymous field defects with only one exception. The nasal visual field extends to 60% of the horizon, whereas the temporal field extends to a further 30°-40° beyond that; this part of the visual field is represented on the contralateral anterior parieto-occipital sulcus. A lesion in this area will give rise to monocular visual field defect aff...
متن کاملMechanisms of glomerular crescent formation
INTRODUCTION — The presence of crescents in glomeruli is a histologic marker of severe injury. In general, the severity of the renal failure and other clinical manifestations of glomerulonephritis (eg, hypertension, edema) correlates with the percentage of glomeruli that exhibit crescents [1-5]. In addition, the duration and potential reversibility of the underlying disease correspond with the ...
متن کاملCrescent waves in optical cavities.
We theoretically and experimentally generate stationary crescent surface solitons pinged to the boundary of a microstructured vertical cavity surface emission laser by triggering the intrinsic cavity mode as a background potential. Instead of a direct transition from linear to nonlinear cavity modes, we demonstrate the existence of symmetry-breaking crescent waves without any analogs in the lin...
