Debate about the possibility of fish pain focuses largely on the fish’s lack of the cortex considered necessary for generating pain. That view is appealing because it avoids relatively abstract debate about the nature of pain experience and subjectivity. Unfortunately, however, that debate cannot be entirely avoided. Subcortical circuits in the fish might support an immediate, raw, “pain” exper...

Alternative spaces of learning in east London: opportunities and challenges Raymonde Sneddon and Peter Martin Introduction London, and east London particularly, has been an important site for immigration over the centuries. Prior to the Second World War the major immigrants into the city were Irish, and Polish and Russian Jews (Fishman, 1997; Block, 2005). In the period following the Second Wor...

Cholesterol crystal embolisation is a frequently underdiagnosed condition. While coronary catheterisation is safe and commonly performed, the reported patient developed very painful trash feet after undergoing this routine procedure. Ulceration and gangrene occurred after catheter manipulation during cardiac angiography, which caused occlusion of the small arteries in his feet. The triad of pai...

A 66-year-old man with thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysm suffered from microembolism in the lower extremities after total arch replacement. He presented with livedo reticularis with palpable peripheral pulses, and the serum creatinine kinase level elevated up to 7,695. The abdominal aortic aneurysm, but not the thoracic aorta, was the origin of this complication. The morphological change o...

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) is a rare, chronic, recurrent dermatosis characterised by sterile pustules. It develops mainly in middle-aged or elder women, but is also rarely seen in children. The exact aetiology of the disease is unknown. In literature, cases associated with IgA gammopathy have been reported. In this article; we report a case of a five-year-old girl who was diagnosed as...

Abstract In this editorial paper, we start by surveying of the main milestones in organization, foundation, and development journal Fractional Calculus Applied Analysis ( FCAA ). The potential is its readers, authors, editors who contribute to scientific advance promote progress journal. Among editors, a special role honorary contributed significantly foundation should be highlighted. These are...

Atomic force microscopes (AFM) and nanoindenters have been used for decades to evaluate mechanical properties of thin films at the nanoscale. It is argued that elastic solutions indentation problem, which are most often associated with names Galin or Sneddon, may be extracting contact modulus bulk samples continual films, while their application between an AFM probe a polymer brush priori quest...

The pages of this journal are full of remarkable stories of scientists working with extraordinary and commonplace creatures to understand how these species survive and interact with their environment. None of these studies could have been undertaken without the contributions of the central protagonists themselves, and in the fields of biomedical research and ecotoxicology, large numbers of vert...
