A 14-year-old boy presenting with primary myelofibrosis (MMM) was treated with alpha-interferon (IFN). After 6 months his spleen was no longer palpable and blood counts had returned to normal. A reversal of bone marrow fibrosis was histologically documented. Although improvement in symptoms and blood counts has been reported, this is only the second description of reversal of bone marrow fibros...

Principal features of method of metal magnetic memory (MMM) as compared to known magnetic NDT methods are considered. Among the basic features of the MMM method, that it is based on use of the own magnetic leakage field (SMLF), arising in ferromagnetic and paramagnetic products on accumulations of high-density dislocations. Magnetodislocation hysteresis underlying effect of metal magnetic memor...

Mucosal malignant melanoma (MMM) of the nasopharynx is extremely rare. We report a case of MMM of the nasopharynx in a 56-year-old male patient presenting with a polypoidal mass in the nasopharynx. It was increasing gradually and obstructing breathing. Computed tomography scan was suggestive of a malignant neoplasm in the nasopharynx. A biopsy of the lesion was done with a clinical suspicion of...

Designing programs and user interfaces for multi-user, multi-device and multi-application (mmm) setups demands very specific attention to problems that single user applications do not have to cope with. In this paper I discuss a few of the challenges involved in one of the major tasks of mmm programs, the modern software and project development with teams of multiple collaborators using differe...

In the context of state space planning, a mutex pair is a pair of variable-value assignments that does not occur in any reachable state. Detecting mutex pairs is a problem that has been addressed frequently in the planning literature. In this paper, we present the Missing Mass Method (MMM)—a new efficient and domain-independent method for mutex pair detection, based on sampling reachable states...

Splenic extramedullary hematopoiesis is an integral component of myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) and may be classified into 3 distinct histologic patterns of infiltration by myeloid precursors: diffuse, nodular, and a predominance of immature granulocytes. These 3 histologic patterns occurred in 121 (56.8%), 75 (35.2%), and 17 (8%), respectively, of 213 patients with MMM who underwe...
