Recall that a String manifold is a Spin manifold M together with a trivialization of the class usually denoted p1(M)/2; this is a characteristic class, defined only for Spin manifolds, so that twice it is the usual first Pontrjagin class. The bordism spectrum of String manifolds is called MString or MO〈8〉; it is the Thom spectrum of the map BO〈8〉 −→ BO of the 7-connected cover of BO to BO. Simi...

We will make some comment on the following recent result of J. J. Kohn. In the complex space Cn:(z1, . . . , zn) if fl, . . . , fn are holomorphic in the unit ball and have continuous boundary values on the boundary, and if on the boundary the linear combination 1fi+ + j,,f is 0, then the functions fl, . .. , f,, are identically 0. 1. We denote by D any bounded circular domain in C., by B its b...

ing lung transplantation is 71%, and 46% of trans¬ plant recipients will survive at least 5 years.1 Al¬ though infections, medication-related adverse events, and malignancies remain important compli¬ cations, prolonged survival is limited predominantly by bronchiolitis obliterans (RO), a condition that was associated with transplantation more than a decade ago.25 Data suggest that at least 50% ...

Six children who survived severe acute bronchiolitis in infancy and early childhood continued to have persistent symptoms of breathlessness, cough and wheeze resistant to bronchodilator therapy. Hyperinflation of the chest, widespread crepitations and rhonchi were persistent clinical features. Failure to thrive was a problem in most. At presentation clinical measles was diagnosed in one child a...

We report a case of bronchiolitis obliterans associated with Stevens-Johnson syndrome. A 59-year-old man presented with respiratory distress that gradually worsened over 3 months. He had been diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome 3 months before admission. He had no history of previous airway disease. On physical examination, expiratory breathing sounds were not audible, and a chest X-ray rev...

We report a 17-year-old woman with bronchiolitis obliterans-organizing pneumonia (BOOP)-like granulomatosis with polyangiitis developing severe airway obliterations. Pending age, phase and grade of autoimmune treatment, and offering ECMO treatment may be crucial for survival but occasionally preface futility. ECMO-treated patient with BOOP-like GPA has never been described before.
