Background: Complete colonic duplication is a very rare congenital anomaly that may have different presentations according to its location and size. Complete colonic duplication can occur in 15% of gastrointestinal duplication. We report two cases of complete colonic duplications, and their characteristics. Case Presentation: We present two patients with complete colonic duplication with differ...

Caudal duplication (dipygus) is an uncommon pathologic of conjoined twinning. The conjoined malformation is classified according to the nature and site of the union. We report the presence of this malformation in a female crossbreed puppy. The puppy was delivered by caesarean section following a prolonged period of dystocia. External findings showed a single head (monocephalus) and a normal cra...

Caudal duplication is an abnormality which usually affects the digestive, urogenital and even respiratory systems. It forms a graded series from slight duplication to near separation of two fetuses caudocranially. In some conjoined twins, duplication process may cranially proceed up to the head region. This kind of developed conjoined monocephalus twin has been reported in many domestic species...

The quantitative determination of columbium based on reduction by amalgamated zin c and reox idation with potassium permanganate has, in general, produced results that lack both accuracy and precision. A study of t he various factors involved indicates that essential conditions requ ire adequate duration of reduction in t he presence of an excess of zinc and a proper concentration of both acid ...

We introduce the notion of amalgamation geometry manifolds. We show that the limit set of any surface group of amalgamated geometry is locally connected, thus giving a partial answer to a question (conjecture) raised by Cannon and Thurston, special cases of which have been obtained by Cannon and Thurston, Minsky, Klarreich and the author. The notion of amalgamated geometry includes, in a sense,...

We examine the question of when the ∗–homomorphism λ : A ∗D B → Ã ∗ D̃ B̃ of full amalgamated free product C∗–algebras, arising from compatible inclusions of C∗–algebras A ⊆ Ã, B ⊆ B̃ and D ⊆ D̃, is an embedding. Results giving sufficient conditions for λ to be injective, as well of classes of examples where λ fails to be injective, are obtained. As an application, we give necessary and sufficient ...

In this work, a novel approach for the detection of mercury vapor in air is presented using differential heat dissipation measurements. Therefore, the temperature difference between an amalgamated and a non-exposed gold film is recorded, while heating both films with identical electrical power. As the amalgam layer lowers the heat dissipation, the amalgamated gold film reaches higher temperatur...
