Abstract:

Filling defects are often observed on 99mTc sulfur colloid liver scans. Hot spots are much less frequently seen. Superior vena cava syndrome is the most frequent cause of this finding. In this report 3 patients with S.V.C and budd - Chiari syndrome with HOT SPOT on liver scan are presented. Mechanisms of scintigraphic patterns are reviewed.

Spot" on Radiocolloid Scintigraphy

The appearance of a splenic hemangioma on radiocolloid scintigraphy has been reported to be that of a focal photon deficient (esion. We report a case of a patient who presented with the opposite appearance—that of a splenic "hot spot." We postulate that this appearance results from increased local blood flow presenting a greater proportion of colloid to the reticuloendothelial cells surrounding...

Space-eecient Hot Spot Estimation Space-eecient Hot Spot Estimation

This paper is concerned with the problem of identifying names which occur frequently in an ordered list of names. Such names are called hot spots. Hot spots can be identiied easily by counting the occurrences of each name and then selecting those with large counts. However, this simple solution requires space proportional to the number of names that occur in the list. In this paper, we present ...

Biodiversity hot spot on a hot spot: novel extremophile diversity in Hawaiian fumaroles

Fumaroles (steam vents) are the most common, yet least understood, microbial habitat in terrestrial geothermal settings. Long believed too extreme for life, recent advances in sample collection and DNA extraction methods have found that fumarole deposits and subsurface waters harbor a considerable diversity of viable microbes. In this study, we applied culture-independent molecular methods to e...

A Strong Hot Spot Theorem

A real number α is said to be b-normal if every mlong string of digits appears in the base-b expansion of α with limiting frequency b−m. We prove that α is b-normal if and only if it possesses no base-b “hot spot.” In other words, α is b-normal if and only if there is no real number y such that smaller and smaller neighborhoods of y are visited by the successive shifts of the base-b expansion o...

The Canary Islands Hot Spot

The Canary archipelago comprises seven main volcanic islands and several islets that form a chain extending for ~ 500 km across the eastern Atlantic, between latitudes 27°N and 30°N, with its eastern edge only 100 km from the NW African coast (Figures 1 & 2). The Canary Islands developed in a geodynamic setting characterized by Jurassic oceanic lithosphere formed during the fi rst stage of open...
