A rare case of microscopically sized thymoma is described in a 56 year old man suffering from myasthenia gravis. Histological examination of the surgically removed thymus showed the presence of several epithelial thymoma-like islands. As controls, 100 thymuses obtained from consecutive necropsies were sampled: 4% of these cases showed epithelial islands. This case is further proof that "microsc...

BACKGROUND Malaria transmission is an extremely complex condition that is manifested differently in different parts of the world. In Pakistan, malaria is still endemic in many areas. Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum are identified to be the most prevalent species of malaria in-Pakistan. A great deal of work regarding malarial transmission is available at regional level in Pakistan but...

which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Microscopic colitis (MC) is characterized by chronic watery diarrhea. MC comprises two entities: collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC), which are separated by typical histopathological characteristics. The colonic mucosa appears endoscopicall...

Pre-neutron fragment-yield distributions are calculated for the U(n, f) and Pu(n, f) reactions using a time-dependent fully microscopic approach. These yields are calculated as a function of incident neutron energy from thermal to 5 MeV. We show that our calculations are in good agreement with experimental results, and competitive in accuracy with more phenomenological approaches. Further impro...
