A 62-year-old woman presented with complaints of asymptomatic tortuous purplish to black swellings on the undersurface of the tongue for 8 months (Figure 1). She first noticed a few red to purple small outpouching of the veins on the undersurface of tongue. The lesion has increased progressively in due course of time.

The two different rhythms signal word order, one of the basic syntactic properties of language. We investigated the extent to which Iambic and Trochaic phrases could be auditorily and visually recognized, when visual stimul...

LIPs on Venus

Thus Venus provides an excellent opportunity to examine large-scale magmatic processes outside a plate tectonic framework. I discuss four groups of Venus’ largest tectonomagmatic provinces: v...
