Katayama fever with rare presentation

Acute schistosomiasis (Katayama fever) among British air crew.

Even brief visits abroad may bring travellers into contact with pathogens against which they have no immunity. Though returning home apparently well, the travellers may be incubating an exotic illness with which they then present to their local doctor.

Giant Palmar Lipoma: A Rare Presentation

Modified Narumi – Katayama Index

The Narumi–Katayama index of a graph G is equal to the product of the degrees of the vertices of G. In this paper we consider a new version of the Narumi– Katayama index in which each vertex degree d is multiplied d times. We characterize the graphs extremal w.r.t. this new topological index.

Neurofibroma: Report of a rare clinical presentation

Neurofibroma is a tumor composed of a complex proliferation of neuromesenchymal tissue (Schwann cells, perineural cells, fibroblast, and mast cells). We report a 45-year-old female who had a slow growing, large, soft, pedunculated mass on her left lateral neck. A skin biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of neurofibroma.
