Eosinophilic enteritis (EOE) is a type of inflammatory bowel disease and is characterized clinically by chronic obstinate diarrhea. Three Japanese Black (JB) fattening cattle (2 males and 1 female) on different cattle farms presented with chronic episodic diarrhea without fever or dehydration. Soft reddish spherical carneous tissues (1-3 cm) were occasionally excreted within the diarrheic feces...

A broncho-pulmonary artery fistula is one of the most fatal complications of lung cancer surgery. This article discusses the case of a patient who died of massive hemoptysis after a left upper lobectomy. There were no previous signs of broncho-pleural fistula except for an obstinate dry cough and slightly elevated serum C-reactive protein levels after surgery. An autopsy revealed that a fistula...

Technology transfer has become recognised as a key factor in people’s efforts to implement information technology in diverse spheres of modern life, and particularly at the workplace. However, ‘transfer’ is a unidirectional conceptualisation of the processes of technology design and implementation. It veils the work of interpretation, mediation, and reshaping involved in the processes of ‘techn...

In the event of its being of interest to the writer, and may be to others, I send yon the following ?0tes with regard to a disease most prevalent in this district, both in children and adults, and one which is often very obstinate in lending itself to treatment.

Not a day passes without our witnessing examples of this uncertainty, in the confounding organic with functio...

The investigations on higher-order type theories and on the related notion of parametric polymorphism constitute the technical counterpart of the old foundational problem of the circularity (or impredicativity) of second and higher order logic. However, the epistemological significance of such investigations, and of their often non trivial results, has not received much attention in the contemp...

This kind of MMR is almost unbelievable and certainly unacceptable! The more developed countries have MMRs of around 10/100,000 and most countries in the region have rates of around 200/100,000!2 It is a reasonable question to ask whether an MMR as high as this is something to which the health service has actually contributed in some way. It does not seem to make evolutionary sense to have so m...
