چکیده
many other oral lesions and rarely is tuberculosis at the top of the list of differential diagnoses.2 In the older texts, when tuberculosis was more common, the ulcers were described as being painless and found mainly on the tongue and occasionally on the gingivae. Patients seem to be taking longer to seek advice for such lesions and the pain is probably related to further infection of the ulcer with normal oral commensals. Finally, I would stress that, although this case was reported from Nigeria, such cases are still to be seen in Britain in both natives and immigrants, and the incidence may be even higher than is thought, as oral lesions are rarely sought in patients with active tuberculosis. Such patients with covert tuberculosis and dental pain may well be given a general anaesthetic during treatment and investigation, with the resulting danger of infecting the anaesthetic apparatus.

Selective adaptation to noxious foods
feeding by herbivorous insects. Some of these noxious compounds are both unpalatable and toxic, while others are merely unpalatable or toxic (Bernays and Chapman, 1987; Chapman and Sword, 1994; Glendinning, 1996; Harley and Thorsteinson, 1967). Because many plants concentrate noxious compounds in their most nutritious tissues (McKey, 1979), herbivores would benefit from an ability to adapt to f...
متن کاملState transitions in a model of intermittent seizure dynamics
We present a neural mass model of intermittent transitions into electroencephalographic (EEG) seizure rhythms in epilepsy. The route to intermittent dynamics is identified as Type 1 and state transition statistics are explored. It is demonstrated that a single framework can give rise to different distributions for seizure and non-seizure lengths in line with variability observed clinically. Fur...

متن کاملThe Non-smooth Pitchfork Bifurcation
The bifurcations of strange nonchaotic attractors in quasi-periodically forced systems are poorly understood. A simple two-parameter example is introduced which unifies previous observations of the non-smooth pitchfork bifurcation. There are two types of generalized pitchfork bifurcation which occur in this example, and the corresponding bifurcation curves can be calculated analytically. The ex...
