The Amphipoda includes a large clade defined by the presence of a previously unrecognised synapomorphy, apical robust setae on the rami of uropods 1-2. We term this clade the Senticaudata subord. nov. (Latin: sentis = thorn). It includes almost all freshwater species as well as a number of marine benthic taxa, formerly part of the 'Gammaridea'. The phylog-eny of the senticaudates was determined...

A new species of Akanthepsilonema and the first-stage juvenile of Glochinema trispinatum are described. Furthermore, additional morphological information is provided for Triepsilonema tripapillata. Animals originate from a cold-water coral degradation zone in the Porcupine Seabight area (North-East Atlantic Ocean). Akanthepsilonema sinecornibus sp. n. differs from A. heUeouetae in number of bod...

An increased interest in the study of the adrenal cortex, together with the ready availability of corticotrophin (A.C.T.H.), have, in recent years, led to the development of improved methods for the assessment of adrenal cortical function. The first of such methods was devised by Thorn, Forsham, Prunty, and Hills (1948) and depended upon the fall in blood eosinop'lils after injection of a singl...

Let X(t) be the symmetric α-stable process in Rd, α ∈ (0, 2), d ≥ 2. For f : (0, 1) → (0,∞) let D(f) be the thorn {x ∈ Rd : x1 ∈ (0, 1), |(x2, . . . , xd)| < f(x1)}. We give an integral criterion in terms of f for the existence of a random time s such that X(t) remains in X(s) +D(f) for all t ∈ [s, s+ 1).

or periodic swelling in young women has been described for many years (Thorn, 1957) the episodic nature of physical signs and unfamiliarity with its variable presentation may frequently delay diagnosis. This, together with a lack of sustained clinical response to diuretics, the apparent but inappropriate symptomatic therapy, has caused considerable resentment and frustration to patient and doct...

Impatiens balsamina L. is a plant belonging to the family Balsaminaceae. In Thailand, I. balsamina has traditionally been used for the treatment of thorn or glasspuncture wounds, abscesses, ingrown nails and chronic ulcers caused by allergic reaction of detergents (Fransworth and Bunyapraphatsara, 1992). The groups of compounds commonly found in this plant are naphthoquinones, coumarins, phenol...

The diagnostic approach to a case of septic monoarthritis involves the basic principle of identifying the organism. Simple as this sounds, it is amazing how many cases become 'difficult cases' when no organism can been isolated. Penetrating trauma by a thorn resulting in reactive arthritis can mimic septic arthritis very closely. Highlighting this rare etiology and the approach to a case of mon...
