By H. BRAUNSTEINER, K. FELLINGER AND F. PAKESCH D URING the last years, electron microscopic studies of leukemic tissues in chicken and mice have revealed the presence of intraand extracellularly located virus-like bodies.14 The bodies are very similar to those found in solid tumors of animals, such as Rous’ sarcomas or breast carcinomas.2’3 Some particles were also found in animals without evi...

Small bodies, comparable in their morphology with that of the early developmental stages of mammalian embryos, are observed uncommonly in certain testicular teratomata (Melicow, 1940; Dixon and Moore, 1953; Evans, 1956); and although an enormous number of these embryolike structures may be scattered haphazardly throughout a teratomatous growth, it is only rarely that such bodies (Figs. 2, 5) mi...

A new classification scheme is introduced for comet-like bodies in the Solar system. It covers the traditional comets as well as the Centaurs and Edgeworth–Kuiper belt objects. At low inclinations, close encounters with planets often result in near-constant perihelion or aphelion distances, or in perihelion–aphelion interchanges, so the minor bodies can be labelled according to the planets pred...

Background: Endobronchial foreign bodies (EFBs) are rare in children over the age of three. Case presentation: Two school-age had EFBs due to accidental inhalation metal-containing mouth. In case 1, CT showed a needle-like body at entrance right upper lobe bronchus, and 2, it was found posterior basal segment lower lobe. The EFB 1 successfully removed by rigid bronchoscopy. not accessible via f...

As long ago as 1876 Key and Retzius suggested that the canal of Schlemm was like a dural venous sinus, and Rochon-Duvigneaud (1892) was insistent on this point. Also, Wegefarth (1914), in experiments on the cerebro-spinal fluid, which ran parallel with those ofWeed (1914), showed that Pacchionianlike bodies occurred in Schlemm's canal in cats, dogs, rabbits, and monkeys. Since, however, this wa...

We present a complete analytic parametrization of constant width bodies in dimension 3 based on the median surface: more precisely, we define a bijection between some space of functions and constant width bodies. We compute simple geometrical quantities like the volume and the surface area in terms of those functions. As a corollary we give a new algebraic proof of Blaschke’s formula. Finally, ...

Background: Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) such as air gun pellet is a rare finding in wild animals like Rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta). The purpose of the present scientific report is to describe the surgical retrieval of IOFB secondary to ballistic wound in a wild Rhesus macaque. Case description: A juvenile female wild Rhesus macaque was brought with the history of swollen and inflamed ...
