THE VANISHING EMPYEMA

A Case of Empyema necessitans: An uncommon presentation of Empyema

ABSTRACTIntroductionEmpyema is an accumulation of pus in the pleural space. Empyema necessitans occurs when pus extends through the parietal pleura into the surrounding tissues.Case ReportWe present here a 4 month old babywith severe respiratory distress and anassociated huge boggy swelling over the left side of his chest and back. Evaluation revealed pus accumulated in the pleural space which ...

Vanishing Vanishing Cycles

If A• is a bounded, constructible complex of sheaves on a complex analytic space X, and f : X → C and g : X → C are complex analytic functions, then the iterated vanishing cycles φg[−1](φf [−1]A •) are important for a number of reasons. We give a formula for the stalk cohomology H∗(φg[−1]φf [−1]A •)x in terms of relative polar curves, algebra, and the normal Morse data and micro-support of A•.

ON THE VANISHING OF DERIVED LOCAL HOMOLOGY MODULES

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $fa$ anideal of $R$ and $mathcal{D}(R)$ denote the derived category of$R$-modules. For any homologically bounded complex $X$, we conjecture that$sup {bf L}Lambda^{fa}(X)leq$ mag$_RX$. We prove thisin several cases. This generalize the main result of Hatamkhani and Divaani-Aazar cite{HD} for complexes.

Massive Empyema

A 22-year-old man presented to a rural Ugandan clinic with three months of progressive dyspnea. He described a non-productive cough and subjective fevers and chills. He appears mildly dyspneic but is in no acute distress. His has a temperature of 37.7°C, pulse of 112 beats per minute, respiratory rate of 22 breaths per minute, blood pressure of 105/50 mmHg and an oxygen saturation of 93% on roo...
