Kommerell's diverticulum (KD) is defined as a bulbous dilatation of the origin of an aberrant subclavian artery due to a remnant of the left fourth aortic arch. We report the case of an asymptomatic woman in whom progressive thrombosis of the KD extending to the prevertebral tract of an aberrant right subclavian artery was detected at multidetector computed tomography imaging for lung cancer st...

This paper describes a socket design and manufacturing technique for through-knee stumps, based on 14 years experience with 290 prostheses. The bulbous shape of the stump and its full end-bearing quality requires a socket which has very little resemblance to above-knee sockets. The requirements of the through-knee socket are listed and the manufacturing technique is described and illustrated in...

Mr. Harrison believes that a large majority of strictures excepting those caused by injuries to the urethra, are preceded by more or less chronic gonorrhoea or gleet, and that the most frequent seat of stricture corresponds with that of Sleet, namely, the subpubic or deeper portion of the urethra Medicinal applications reach these (the bulbous and membranous) parts of the urethra with difficult...

Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a condition characterized by periosteal reaction of tubular long bones and characteristic bulbous deformity of the digital tips with synovial effusion. It is usually encountered in conjunction with diseases involving the lungs, mediastinum, heart, pleura and gastrointestinal tract. The occurrence of HOA as a paraneoplastic manifestation in nasopharyngeal c...

Congenital X-linked mixed deafness is a rare anomaly that has typical features and can be diagnosed on the basis of progressive mixed hearing loss and the typical imaging findings. Recognition of these findings may alter the course of treatment and perilymph gushing can be avoided. A 10-year-old male patient presented with a history of progressive hearing loss. Computed tomography of the tempor...

A new species of copepod, Sarcotretes umitakaesp. n., of the siphonostomatoid family Pennellidae is described based on female specimens from the rattail Coelorinchus jordani Smith and Pope (Actinopterygii: Gadiformes: Macrouridae) caught in the East China Sea. This species is characterized by exhibiting the following characters: the large proboscis projects strongly; the head bears paired later...

Designing bulbous bows for ships remains a challenging task. Their impact on different design attributes as well their change in performance when operating off intended condition renders this multidimensional problem. This paper explores the application of machine learning techniques to sample in-service vessel data develop preliminary tool. The ships' was analysed together with bow generate mo...

The tricho-rhino-phalangeal syndrome (TRPS) type I is a rare genetic disorder related to the TRPS1 gene mutation in chromosome 8, characterized by craniofacial abnormalities and disturbances in formation and maturation of bone matrix. The hallmarks are sparse and brittle hair, tendency to premature baldness, bulbous nose called pear-shaped, long and flat filter and low ear implantation. The mos...
