Hedgehog Hives

Hedgehog hives.

BACKGROUND Hedgehogs are increasingly popular pets in the United States and Europe. A number of infections may be acquired from these animals, and hedgehogs are possible hosts of parasites. However, to our knowledge there arc no previous reports of urticarial reactions to hedgehogs. OBSERVATIONS We describe 3 patients who developed an acute, transient, urticarial reaction after contact with t...

Propolis from Chilean matorral hives.

Viscidone (0.5%), vanillin, 3',4'-(methylendioxy)acetophenone, 3-ethoxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, cinnamic acid, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxymethyl ester were isolated from propolis of hives from Cuncumen. This is the first report on propolis composition of an arid and a Mediterranean type climate area.

Hives and the Fibres of the Convolution Morphism

By the geometric Satake correspondence, the number of components of certain fibres of the affine Grassmannian convolution morphism equals the tensor product multiplicity for representations of the Langlands dual group. On the other hand, in the case of GLn, combinatorial objects called hives also count tensor product multiplicities. The purpose of this paper is to give a simple bijection betwee...

Somatic Chromosomes of Long-Eared Desert Hedgehog Hemiechinus auritus

Hedgehog signaling.

The Hedgehog (Hh) proteins belong to one of a small number of families of secreted signals that play a central role in the development of most metazoans. hh itself was originally identified as a mutation that causes a “segment polarity” phenotype in Drosophila—as were most of the core components of the Hh signal transduction pathway (Ingham et al. 2011). These components have been highly conser...
