We have investigated a technique for quantifying QP/QS in left-to-right cardiac shunts. In this method, the gamma variate, which is fitted to the first-pass portion of the lung curve, is used to generate a curve, which simulates the response of a normal lung curve with systemic recirculation. The difference between this curve and the observed lung curve is then used to calculate QP/QS. This met...

Angiosarcoma is a malignant endothelial tumor that can form in any part of the body, including the skin. It is known as hemangiosarcoma or lymphangiosarcoma, depending on whether it derives from the endothelium of the blood vessels or the lymph vessels, respectively. It was first described in 1948 by Stewart and Treves in a series of 6 cases of lymphangiosarcoma after chronic postmastectomy lym...

We define a class of generic CR submanifolds of C n of real codi-mension d, 1 ≤ d ≤ n − 1, called the Bloom-Graham model graphs, whose graphing functions are partially decoupled in their dependence on the variables in the real directions. We prove a global version of the Baouendi-Treves CR approximation theorem, for Bloom-Graham model graphs with a polynomial growth assumption on their graphing...

This essay is a fairly complete and almost self-contained account of that part of the theory of operators on Hilbert spaces that’s needed in the theory of automorphic forms. My principal reference is the admirable manual [Reed-Simon:1972], particularly Chapters VI and VIII. I have also used [Treves:1967]. Much of this essay is copied from one or the other of these, but neither should be blamed ...

We present a case of chronic lymphoedema that progressed to Stewart-Treves syndrome in a 63-year-old woman with a previous modified radical mastectomy, associated lymph node dissection, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. While producing stabilisation of most cutaneous lesions initially, chemotherapeutic treatment of the angiosarcoma did not prevent subsequent metastasis and patient death. We urge v...

This paper studies microlocal regularity properties of the distributions f on a strongly noncharacteristic submanifold E of a hypoanalytic manifold M that arise as the boundary values of solutions on wedges in M with edge E. The hypo-analytic wave-front set of f in the sense of Baouendi-Chang-Treves is constrained as a consequence of the fact that f extends as a solution to a wedge.
