Key words: relapsing polychondritis; myelodysplasia; Flexible laryngoscopy confirmed a bilateral vocal cord acute renal failure paresis. The arytenoids and aryoepiglottic folds were very oedematous. An emergency tracheostomy and laryngeal biopsy were performed. His condition stabilized and intravenous antibiotics and hydrocortisone were given.

The operation ofsoft-tissue release and calcaneocuboid fusion, published by Dillwyn Evans in 1961, is described in detail and a long-term review of 1 18 club feet is presented. The average age of the patients at review was nearly seventeen years. All were resistant cases and in all the Dillwyn Evans “collateral operation”, deliberately delayed by a policy of prolonged conservative treatment, ha...

Idiopathic scrotal calcinosis is a rare and benign disease of the scrotum which is described in all age groups. It was initially first defined by Lewinski in 1883. Although many mechanisms have been proposed in the pathogenesis, underlying mechanisms are still controversial at the present time. Currently, the best therapeutic approach is the surgical removal of the scrotum without disrupting it...

In this paper, we describe the dynamics of a vector-borne relapsing disease, such as tick-borne relapsing fever, using the methods of compartmental models. After some motivation and model description we provide a proof of a conjectured general form of the reproductive ratio R0, which is the average number of new infections produced by a single infected individual. A disease free equilibrium und...
