Persistent Singultus: Addressing Complexity With Simplicity
The hiccup reflex arc involving the brainstem, phrenic and vagus nerves, and the sympathetic chain is associated with singultus. There are many possible organic, psychogenic, idiopathic, and iatrogenic instigators. We describe a case of singultus in a 69-year-old man secondary to his CPAP mask, with resolution after he stopped using the mask. Our case establishes that CPAP may be a cause of iat...
متن کاملSpirolaterals, Complexity from Simplicity
This paper investigates spirolaterals for their beauty of form and the unexpected complexity arising from them. From a very simple generative procedure, spirolaterals can be created having great complexity and variation. Using mathematical and computer-based methods, issues of closure, variation, enumeration, and predictictability are discussed. A historical review is also included. The overrid...
متن کاملDefining miRNA targets: balancing simplicity with complexity.
M icro RNAs (miRNAs) are small RNAs that play an important role in the negative regulation of gene expression by suppressing protein translation. Animal genomes contain an abundance of small genes that produce regulatory RNAs of ≈22 nucleotides in length. The Ambros laboratory identified the first miRNAs in 1993 while characterizing a genetic locus involved in the control of developmental timin...
متن کاملComplexity, simplicity, and epidemiology.
It should be stressed that although many phenomena are complex, 15 the concept of ‘complexity’ is more specific. Complexity is the study of complex adaptive systems. These have been defined as ‘a collection of individual agents with freedom to act in ways that are not always totally predictable, and whose actions are interconnected so that one agent’s actions changes the context for other agent...
متن کاملDead space: simplicity to complexity.
CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY existed regarding the magnitude of pulmonary dead space in the immediate post-World War II era. The dead space concept was originated by Bohr (2), who viewed total ventilation as composed of two distinct, but homogeneous, components—alveolar ventilation that participated fully in gas exchange and dead space ventilation in which no respiratory exchange occurred. With kno...
