Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) is a very rare clinical disorder characterized by thrombophlebitis and multiple pulmonary and/or bronchial aneurysms. Less than 40 published cases of HSS have been described in English medical literature so far. The exact etiology and pathogenesis of HSS is unknown; possible causes include infections and angiodysplasia. HSS has also been considered as a variant of B...

In this paper we overview basic known results about the varieties generated by De Morgan triples and about the problem to find equations defining the variety generated by a concrete De Morgan triple. We also provide some alternative proofs and some new results, specially for the case of Łukasiewicz De Morgan triples.

Most arthropods move by means of metachronal waves of activity passing over the paired appendages, and the resulting gaits have been studied extensively, with regard both to their locomotory effectiveness (Manton, 1953) and to co-ordination (Beth6, 1930; von Hoist, 1935). Most attention has been focused on terrestrial or benthic arthropods and the mechanism of co-ordination of insect walking es...

Background: Hughes-Stovin Syndrome (HSS) is a rare clinical disorder characterized by deep venous thrombosis and multiple pulmonary and/or bronchial aneurysms. Aneurysms in systemic circulation can also be seen. Case presentation: We report the first case of HSS with aortic aneurysm in a 55-year-old man who initially presented with deep venous thrombosis. The diagnosis of HSS revealing Beh&cce...

I am astonished at Lewis Wolpert’s claim that all the big principles in biology are understood — especially in developmental biology. If one knew all the principles then new facts would simply slot into their expected places, as they do in any well understood aspect of physics. But in all areas of biology bewildering new facts are discovered at an increasing rate. I frankly do not believe that ...

search for Dr Morgan David Enoch brings up an intriguing set of results. These range from a BBC article, ‘Spotting the Royal stalkers’, a BMJ case report on ‘Exorcism for schizophrenia’ and Ian McEwan’s Enduring Love, to Mersey Regional Health Authority’s implementation of care in the community and books, including I Want a Christian Psychiatrist and Uncommon Psychiatric Syndromes: now out of p...
