Examination revealed dry skin with round erythematous plaque with yellowish oozing and crusting over the right anterior tibial region. A clinical diagnosis of nummular (coin shaped) or discoid eczem...

Dyshidrotic Eczema

Dyshidrotic eczema, also known as dyshidrotic dermatitis or pompholyx, is characterized by pruritic, tense, deep-seated vesicles mainly on the palms and lateral surfaces of the fingers. In the chronic phase, scaling, desquamation, fissuring, and, sometimes, lichenification may be seen. The peak age of onset is between 20 and 30 years of age. The sex incidence is approximately equal. Most cases ...

Simply Presented Tag Modules

A tag module is a generalization, in any abelian category, of a torsion abelian group. The theory of such modules is developed, it is shown that countably generated tag modules are simply presented, and that Ulm's theorem holds for simply presented tag modules. Zippin's theorem is stated and proved for countably generated tag modules. 1. TAG-modules In the theory of torsion abelian groups, a di...

Auxin: simply complicated.

Auxin is a plant hormone involved in an extraordinarily broad variety of biological mechanisms. These range from basic cellular processes, such as endocytosis, cell polarity, and cell cycle control over localized responses such as cell elongation and differential growth, to macroscopic phenomena such as embryogenesis, tissue patterning, and de novo formation of organs. Even though the history o...
