Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger disease)

Thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger disease) is an occlusive, nonatherosclerotic, inflammatory vasculitis that causes ischemia in small and medium vessels. Most commonly, Buerger disease is diagnosed in 40- to 45-year-old men with a heavy smoking history. Our case exemplifies the most common presentation, diagnosis, and treatment in a 53-year-old male smoker who presents with arm pain and dusky...

Buerger disease, smoking, and periodontitis.

Weak oral bacteria such as periodontal bacteria or Chlamydia pneumoniae have been observed in various arterial and venous lesions with epidemiological data reported prior to the discovery of bacterial invasion into vessels. Rich lymph vessels easily bring the bacteria from the mouth to the neck and the venous angle, which is directly open to the blood vessels. Periodontal bacteria travel within...

Bush, the book seeks to ground unitary executive theory with exhaustive historical evidence. Although the authors do not purport to present a history of the presidency, they do provide important and co...

Statement Julian

My mathematical research interests are in number theory and algebraic geometry. My thesis work concerns the arithmetic of a family of rational numbers known as multiple harmonic sums, which are truncated approximations of multiple zeta values. I explore new structures underlying relations involving multiple harmonic sums, p-adic L-values, Bernoulli numbers, and binomial coefficients. This is us...
