Lipoma of the parotid gland is a rare entity. Trauma with soft tissue haematoma formation and subsequent lymphatic effusion, fat necrosis and lipoma formation have been postulated as an aetiological pathway. We report a case of a post-traumatic lipoma of the parotid gland to add to the available literature on this uncommon pathology.

My research interests focus on the geometry and topology of soft materials, in particular the effects of nonlinear elasticity on emergent structural and mechanical properties in complex systems. This encompasses a broad class of systems in several fields, from soft condensed matter physics to materials science to mechanical and biomedical engineering, with problems including programmable matter...

Partial sequencing of the γ-gliadin gene of 62 spelt and 14 soft wheat cultivars was performed. Fifty-six of the 62 spelt cultivars and 13 of the 14 soft wheat cultivars were shown to exhibit the typical spelt or soft wheat γ-gliadin sequence, respectively. Exceptions were ascribed to crossbreeding of soft wheat and spelt. Using the typical soft wheat γ-gliadin sequence, two alternative DNA-bas...

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and study new classes of soft closed sets like soft regular generalized b-closed sets in soft topological spaces (briefly soft rgb-closed set) Moreover, soft rg-closed, soft gpr-closed, soft gb-closed, soft gsp-closed, soft g$alpha$-closed, soft g$alpha$b-closed, and soft sgb-closed sets in soft topological spaces are introduced in this paper and w...

statement of problem: recent literatures show that accelerated portland cement (apc) and calcium hydroxide ca (oh) 2 may have the potential to promote the bone regeneration. however, certain clinical studies reveal consistency of ca (oh) 2, as one of the practical drawbacks of the material when used alone. to overcome such inconvenience, the combination of the ca (oh) 2 with a bone replacement ...

miRNAs are a class of endogenous non-coding RNA, which can regulate downstream target genes through binding to the 3'UTR of those genes. Numerous studies have indicated that abnormal expression of miRNAs is implicated in tumor development. Aberrant expression of miR-31 has been found in various cancers, including colorectal cancer. Here, we show t...

Purpose: of this paper is the effect of the soft annealing of initial microstructure of the 6Mn16 steel on the kinetics of the austenite formation during next intercritical annealing. Design/methodology/approach: Analytical TEM point analysis with EDAX system attached to Philips CM20 was used to evaluate the concentration of Mn, Ni and Cr in the microstructure constituents of the multiphase ste...

The small leucine-rich proteoglycan lumican was identified from a human placenta cDNA library by the expression cloning method as a gene product that interacts with membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MT1-MMP). Coexpression of MT1-MMP with lumican in HEK293T cells reduced the concentration of lumican secreted into culture medium, and this reduction was abolished by addition of the MMP inh...

The interactions between NPs and a binary system of proteins were studied through systematic set capillary electrophoresis models. results revealed precise details the soft hard protein corona formation dynamics.
