An Iranian family with cutis laxa and classic Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogenous group of inherited disorders of connective tissue characterized by fragility of the skin and blood vessels, hyperextensibility of the skin and joint hypermobility. Cutis laxa is characteized clinically by lax, pendulous skin and histologically by loss of elastic tissue in the dermis. There are some reports of coexistence of cutis laxa with ot...

On lifting of biadjoints and lax algebras

Given a pseudomonad $mathcal{T} $ on a $2$-category $mathfrak{B} $, if a right biadjoint $mathfrak{A}tomathfrak{B} $ has a lifting to the pseudoalgebras $mathfrak{A}tomathsf{Ps}textrm{-}mathcal{T}textrm{-}mathsf{Alg} $ then this lifting is also right biadjoint provided that $mathfrak{A} $ has codescent objects. In this paper, we give  general results on lifting of biadjoints. As a consequence, ...
