'\J Out of 43 ruptures of the spleen 14, or 32*5 per cent, were accompanied by injuries of other orgaus, during the 9 years I have been considering. Of these, 5 or 35'7 per cent., were complicated with ruptures of the liver; 3, or 21*4 per cent., with those of the left kidney; 1, or 7*1 per cent., with laceration of the brain ; 1, or 7*1 percent., of the stomach ; 1, or 7*1 percent., with lacer...

Hodgkin's disease (HD) in association with pregnancy is rarely reported. Thus, the data in the management of pregnancy complicated by HD is limited. We report here the management of advanced HD in pregnancy that was treated successfully with chemotherapy.

A 63-year-old woman developed conjunctival hyperemia and blurry vision. She was diagnosed with uveitis. A chest computed tomography (CT) scan detected mediastinal and hilar lymphadenopathy (Picture 1A) and the diffuse small nodules that were slightly predominant in the left lower lobe (Picture 1B). A scalene lymph node biopsy demonstrated non-caseating granulomas (Picture 2A, ×200). She was dia...

Plasmodium infection (mainly p. falciparum) is usually complicated by cerebral malaria, haemolysis, acute kidney injury and respiratory distress. Myocardial involvement is a rare complication of plasmodium infection. We have reported a case of plasmodium infection (p. vivax) complicated by myocarditis.

The article analyses the history of the Einfühlung concept. Theories of ‘feeling into’ Nature, works of art or feelings and behaviours of other persons by German philosophers of the second half of the nineteenth century Robert and Friedrich Vischer and Theodor Lipps are evoked, as well as a similar theory of understanding (Verstehen) by Wilhelm Dilthey and Friedrich Schleiermacher, to which Dil...

This paper describes the multi-document summarization system designed by the Webclopedia team from ISI for DUC 2005. In contrast to the past DUCs and previous designs, this version of our summarizer consists of a query-interpretation component that directly analyzes the given user profile and topic narrative for each document cluster before creating a corresponding summary. This system ranks 4 ...

In this review, we provide a detailed overview of studies on the elusive sex determination (SD) and gonad differentiation mechanisms of zebrafish (Danio rerio). We show that the data obtained from most studies are compatible with polygenic sex determination (PSD), where the decision is made by the allelic combinations of several loci. These loci are typically dispersed throughout the genome, bu...

Is there a measure of how ’close’ non-isomorphic mathematical structures are? Jouko Väänänen, professor of logic at the Universities of Amsterdam and Helsinki, shows how contemporary logic, in particular set theory and model theory, provides a vehicle for a meaningful discussion of this question. As the journey proceeds, we accelerate to higher and higher cardinalities, so fasten your seatbelts.
