fecaloma is a mass of hardened feces being impacted mostly in rectum and sigmoid. the most common sites of the fecaloma is the sigmoid colon and the rectum. there are several causes of fecaloma and have been described in association with hirschsprung’s disease, psychiatric patients, chagas disease, both inflammatory and neoplastic, and in patients suffering with chronic constipation. up to now ...

Invent. Math. 109, 405-444 (1992). Richard E. Borcherds, Department of pure mathematics and mathematical statistics, 16 Mill Lane, Cambridge CB2 1SB, England. We prove Conway and Norton’s moonshine conjectures for the infinite dimensional representation of the monster simple group constructed by Frenkel, Lepowsky and Meurman. To do this we use the no-ghost theorem from string theory to construc...

Giant warts are infrequent dermatological viral infections caused by Papillomavirus (HPV) in immune-compromised patients. Treatment may often be difficult and unsatisfactory, either by surgery or cytotoxic agents, because of poor immune control of viral activity in such hosts. Here we report on the case of a patient with advanced and persistent immune suppression caused by HIV disease, who deve...

Previously, renal artery pseudoaneurysms were thought to be extremely uncommon. However, these lesions are now being detected more frequently as incidental findings on computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and the extensive use of angiography. The incidence of ruptured renal artery pseudoaneurysms is very low. We report a case of a giant renal artery pseudoaneurysm (9.4-cm diameter) ...

A hepatic lymphangioma is a rare benign neoplasm that is usually associated with systemic lymphangiomatosis. A solitary hepatic lymphangioma is extremely rare. Therefore, we present a rare case of a female patient who underwent right hepatectomy for solitary giant hepatic lymphangioma. A 42-year-old female presented to the emergency department with complaint of severe abdominal pain of the righ...

The authors present the case of a 49-year-old female patient with complex regional pain syndrome-Type I (CRPSI) who was suffering from nonhealing wounds and giant bullae, which dramatically improved after spinal cord stimulation (SCS). The scientific literature concerning severe cutaneous manifestations of CRPS-I and their treatment is reviewed. Nonhealing wounds and bullae are rare manifestati...

In 1939 Rademacher demonstrated how to express Klein’s modular invariant as a sum over elements of the modular group. In this article we generalize Rademacher’s approach so as to construct bases for the spaces of automorphic integrals of arbitrary even integer weight, for an arbitrary group commensurable with the modular group. Our methods provide explicit expressions for the Fourier expansions...
