PURPOSE To evaluate serum pepsinogen I (PG I) and gastrin-17 (G-17) levels in patients with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-associated chronic atrophic gastritis, with reference to endoscopical Kimura-Takemoto's staging, chromoendoscopical and histological features. MATERIAL AND METHODS 267 dyspeptic H. pylori-infected patients were examined by chromoendoscopy with biopsy sampling according t...

La maladie de Kimura ou lymphogranulome éosinophile est une pathologie inflammatoire chronique très rare, d'étiologie inconnue. Après avoir considéré que la maladie de Kimura appartenait au groupe des tumeurs de l'endothélium vasculaire et qu'elle pouvait, à ce titre, être assimilée avec l'hyperplasie angiolymphoïde avec éosinophilie chez des patients occidentaux , on pense aujourd'hui qu'il s'...

Kimura disease (KD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with angiolymphatic proliferation, usually affecting young men of Asian race but is rare in other races. The etiology of KD is still unknown. It is often accompanied by nephrotic syndrome. Herein, we present an atypical manifestation of Kimura disease occurring in a Caucasian man with steroid-responsive early membranous glomerulonephritis. ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE KD is a rare chronic inflammatory disorder of unknown etiology. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the CT and MR imaging findings of KD in the head and neck. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the CT (n = 21) and MR (n = 9) images obtained in 28 patients (24 males and 4 females; mean age, 32 years; age range, 10-62 years) with histologically proved...

This talk deals with a remarkable integrable discretization of the SO(3) Euler top introduced in [1] by R. Hirota and K. Kimura. A class of implicit discretizations of the Euler top sharing the integrals of motion with the continuous system has been presented and studied in [2]. The Hirota-Kimura discretization of the Euler top leads to an explicit map. Its integrability is proven by finding tw...

As a 2010 Artist in Residence in Musical Research at IRCAM, Mari Kimura used the Augmented Violin to develop new compositional approaches, and new ways of creating interactive performances [1]. She contributed her empirical and historical knowledge of violin bowing technique, working with the Real Time Musical Interactions Team at IRCAM. Thanks to this residency, her ongoing long-distance colla...

Since its inception by Kimura in 1955 [M. Kimura, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 41, 144 (1955)], the diffusion equation has become a standard technique of population genetics. The diffusion equation is however only an approximation, valid in the limit of large populations and small selection. Moreover, useful quantities such as the fixation probabilities are not easily extracted from it and nee...
