A 5-year-old girl was referred to our unit with an incidental finding of a lesion on the right hemithorax situated within the right atrial shadow. Computed tomography thorax showed a well-defined soft tissue lesion felt to be consistent with a bronchogenic cyst. The lesion was located in the posterior mediastinum, adherent to the diaphragm and inferior vena cava, but did not extend within the w...

THE ELONGATION OF THE CERVIX DURING LABOUR. In a communication to this Society, entitled (< A Study of Two Mesial Vertical Sections of the Female Pelvis,"1 it was pointed out by Dr A. R. Simpson and myself that, during labour, the pubic triangle?i.e., all in front, and inclusive of the anterior vaginal wall?is drawn up. The proof known then for this was given fully in that paper, and need not b...

Synovial sarcoma is a primitive mesenchymal tumor which occurs most frequently in soft tissues. Some unusual locations of synovial sarcoma could lead to diagnostic challenges. In this study, we reported a case of primary synovial sarcoma arose in the posterior pharyngeal wall. X-ray examination showed a space-occupying lesion in the post-pharyngeal wall. Frozen section and conventional histopat...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Although scarring is recognized as contributing to limited shoulder movements, compromised tissue gliding in a wider range of fascial and connective tissue structures is under-recognized. AIM To report on soft tissue patterns in patients with upper limb dysfunction after modified radical mastectomy. METHODS Tissue gliding was ...

Malignant Lymphoma is uncommon in female genital tract. A rare presentation of Malignant Lymphoma of the vagina has been reported here. A 61 years old woman presented with postmenopausal bleeding of 10 days duration. On examination per vaginum, the patient had firm nodular infiltrative growth involving entire posterior vaginal wall and full thickness of recto-vaginal septum. Bleeding ulcer was ...

It is difficult to distinguish between restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis on the basis of clinical findings and simple investigation. Cardiac catheterisation has been the reference standard for diagnosis but even this does not always permit an accurate distinction. A Summagraphics digitiser and Prime 750 computer system were used to digitise the echocardiograms of 15 patie...

M-mode indices of left ventricular dimension and posterior wall thickness were derived from echocardiograms of children presenting with dilated cardiomyopathy/myocarditis and were related to outcome. Echocardiograms from 16 of 18 children were manually digitized to obtain changes of left ventricular dimension and posterior wall thickness throughout the cardiac cycle. Indices of ventricular func...

PURPOSE To determine whether variations in aortic wall motion exist in mammalian species other than humans and to consider the potential implications of such variations. METHODS M-mode ultrasound was used to measure abdominal aortic wall motion in 4 animal species [mice (n=10), rats (n=8), rabbits (n=7), and pigs (n=5)], and humans (n=6). Anterior wall displacement, posterior wall displacemen...

We present a solution of the five-dimensional gravity-dilaton-tachyon equations of motion with a pure AdS5 metric and a quadratic dilaton and linear tachyon in conformal coordinates. This leads to an infrared soft wall model where the dilaton profile gives rise to linear Regge trajectories for the four-dimensional mass spectrum of the dual gauge theory. Even though our approach is phenomenologi...
