Background: Here we report a rare case of concomitant pulmonary chondroid hamartoma and follicular non Hodgkin lymphoma in a 65-year-old woman with a history of 4-month nonspecifi c symptoms like fever, sweating and weight loss. Methods: Chest CT scan revealed a 12-mm nodule with relatively regular margins in the right middle lung fi eld, adhering to the chest wall, with no involvement of hilar...

We carry out a large program to classify newly discovered star clusters from Froebrich et al. (2006) in the inner Galaxy. Here, we present a first analysis of a new high-priority globular cluster candidate, FSR 1735 at l=339.1879; b = −1.8534, based on new deep near infrared observations from Sofi at the NTT. A significant peak in the K-band luminosity function is found, which is interpreted as...

Most OECD countries experience high unemployment rates and declining growth in higher educational attainment. An often suggested government policy is therefore to allocate resources towards formal schooling for adults. However, returns on such investments are uncertain and the foregone earnings are potentially large. We use Swedish population register data from 1982 to 2011 to estimate average ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence and significance of hand deformities during the first 10 years of RA. METHODS One hundred and eighty-three early RA patients were included in the study during 1985-89. Mean +/- S.D. of age at onset was 51.4 +/- 12.4 years, and mean duration of symptoms before inclusion 12 +/- 7 months; 64% were women. The patients were followe...

We report here the discovery of a 30 ′′-chain of embedded Herbig-Haro (HH) objects in the ρ Ophiuchi dark cloud. These HH objects were first detected during a deep KS-band observation (completeness magnitude for point source∼19) made with NTT/SOFI. We confirm their nature with follow-up observations made with H2 v=1–0 S(1) narrow-band filter. We argue that they belong to two different jets eman...
