He had a swelling on the nape of his neck, which he said he had noticed for the first time about three weeks previously; it was then much smaller.

Guest Editors’ Column Reading Sideways: Middlebrow into Modernism

Editors note

EDITOR’S NOTE Geopersia is published biannually by the College of Science, University of Tehran, Iran. The College of Science published “Journal of Science”, which covered all fields of basic science, from 1968 to 2010. It was then decided that the College’s journals should be more specialized, and hence publication of Geopersia was launched. Geopersia aims to publish peer-reviewed original...

Multiple rapidly growing desmoid tumors that were difficult to distinguish from recurrence of rectal cancer

BACKGROUND Intra-abdominal desmoid tumors are usually slow growing and solitary, but multifocal desmoid tumors develop on rare occasions. Diagnosing desmoid tumors before histological examination of a surgical biopsy is often difficult. In particular, if a patient has a prior history of malignancy, it may be difficult to differentiate between these lesions and disease recurrence or metastasis. ...

When Supermassive Black Holes were growing: Clues from Deep X–ray Surveys

Merging the Chandra and XMM–Newton deep surveys with the previously identified ROSAT surveys a unique sample of almost 1000 AGN–1 covering five orders of magnitude in 0.5–2 keV flux limit and six orders of magnitude in survey solid angle with ∼ 95% completeness has been constructed. The luminosity–redshift diagram is almost homogeneously filled. AGN–1 are by far the largest contributors to the ...
