Vlt Spectroscopy of Blue Supergiants in Ic 1613 1

We present multi-object spectroscopy of young, massive stars in the Local Group galaxy IC 1613. We provide the spectral classification and a detailed spectral catalog for 54 OBA stars in this galaxy. The majority of the photometrically selected sample is composed of Band A-type supergiants. The remaining stars include early O-type dwarfs and the only Wolf-Rayet star known in this galaxy. Among ...

Morphological asymmetry is a common feature of animal body plans, from shell coiling in snails to organ placement in humans. The signaling protein Nodal is key for determining this laterality. Many vertebrates, including humans, use cilia for breaking symmetry during embryonic development: rotating cilia produce a leftward flow of extracellular fluids that induces the asymmetric expression of N...

A pilgrim seeking diagnosis

We present the case of an unusual presentation of Dressler’s syndrome and the important role of new imaging techniques in its diagnosis. A 42-year-old man was admitted with progressive dyspnoea and pleuritic chest pain during the last two months. Physical examination showed signs of hemodynamic instability (BP 75/40, HR 120 bpm). X-Ray showed cardiomegaly and electrocardiogram was suggestive of...
