In this study ten pairs of superior gland of third eyelid of 10 adult male camels free of apparent ocular disease were examined to compare the normal anatomical and histological properties of these glands. After dissecting, all of the glands were characterized and measured (length and width) on both the left and right side. In the camels, the superior gland of the third eyelid was oval shaped a...

Superior canal dehiscence syndrome, or Minor’s syndrome, is a recently described disease that results from the absence of bone over the superior semicircular canal which results in the communication between the perilymphatic space of the canal and the intra-cranial space. It is characterized by a wide range of symptoms involving imbalance, hearing loss or both. Symptoms may include strange perc...

The patient is a 59-year-old formerly smoking male with a history of T2N0M0, stage I colon cancer. He underwent a left hemicolectomy five years prior to presentation and was referred for an enlarging 7 mm pulmonary nodule noted on surveillance imaging. His past medical history was significant for coronary artery disease and hypertension. Given the deep location of the pulmonary nodule and the p...

Consciousness is a multidisciplinary subject of inquiry. The extent of clinical contributions to the field of consciousness studies has yet to be investigated. The goal of this study was to assess the degree of clinically related articles in the literature of consciousness studies through a systematic evaluation. Three journals systematically identified (Consciousness and Cognition, Journal of ...

We study statistics of records in a sequence of random variables. These identical and independently distributed variables are drawn from the parent distribution ρ. The running record equals the maximum of all elements in the sequence up to a given point. We define a superior sequence as one where all running records are above the average record expected for the parent distribution ρ. We find th...

A 29-year-old woman presented with postprandial nausea, a weight loss of 5 kg in 6 months and vomiting for the previous 10 years. At the age of 24 years old, she was first suspected to have anorexia nervosa. Medication was given with little or no improvement in clinical symptoms. At the age of 27 years old, she visited another medical facility. Upper gastrointestinal examination (Fig. 1) reveal...

Bodil Branner and John Hubbard produced the first extensive study of iterated complex maps for cubic polynomials in Picard orbit [Acta Math., 160(3-4):1988, 143-206]. Since then few researchers worked on Julia sets for cubic polynomials. In 2004, Rani and Kumar [J. Korea Soc. Math. Educ. Ser. D; Research in Math. Educ., 8(4):2004, 261-277] studied cubic polynomials in superior orbit and gave im...

Studies were performed on anesthetized saline-loaded dogs to delineate the afferent and efferent mechanisms involved in the antinatriuretic response to acute constriction of the thoracic vena cava. The kidneys of the animals were denervated prior to study, and renal perfusion pressure was controlled throughout the experiment. To differentiate between the potential afferent stimuli, increased he...

Mesenteric artery embolism is a rare and an acute abdominal emergency with a very high mortality rate which requires a high index of suspicion for its diagnosis. We hereby report a 55 years old male with rheumatic heart disease in atrial fibrillation with thromboembolic superior mesenteric artery occlusion with a fatal outcome.

Superior mirages of simple appearance are occasionally observed over distances exceeding 70 km. These mirages cannot be explained in terms of standard textbook models; rather, they are shown to arise from fairly complex atmospheres. Two observations of different types, observed at Resolute Bay, Canada, are presented. The first is the basic three-image mirage in which one inverted and one erect ...
