we present observation of polar coronal hole plumes with foot point jets that shows evidence of longitudinal acceleration. the series of event, occurring in the north coronal hole on 10 july 2010, was observed by the aia telescopes of the solar dynamic observatory (sdo mission) in the euv lines, with unprecedented details. the structures along the plume show a propagating outward velocity of ab...

Introduction Germline mutations in SLC29A3 result in a range of clinically related, recessive syndromes: H syndrome, pigmented hypertrichosis with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (PHID) syndrome, Faisalabad histiocytosis (FHC), and sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SHML). Main symptoms of these diseases are hyperpigmentation with hypertrichosis, sensorineural deafness, diabe...

A 54-year-old female presented with apparent isolated hypothalamic histiocytosis X associated with diabetes insipidus and Korsakoff's syndrome. Computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a single hypothalamic mass. A craniotomy for biopsy found granulation tissue of unknown cause. Further investigation discovered genital bleeding before admission. Biopsy of the cervix uter...

Eruptive pseudoangiomatosis (EPA) is a rare, benign, spontaneously regressing childhood exanthem. The term was recently coined by Prose et al.1 to describe a dermatosis characterized by the sudden onset of a few to several bright red angioma-like papules with a different histopathology from the true angiomas. We describe three patients with the typical lesions of EPA but with some peculiar feat...

Progressive mucinous histiocytosis is a very rare, benign, non-Langerhans' cell histiocytosis limited to the skin. In total ten patients (all women) in four families and three sporadic cases have been reported. We report here the first published case of a male patient with progressive mucinous histiocytosis. The multiple red papules on the scalp and forearms were asymptomatic and had slowly inc...

Intracranial involvement with histiocytosis is usually limited to the hypothalamus and associated with extensive extracranial disease. We report the CT and MR findings in a patient with biopsy-proved histiocytosis presenting as multifocal intracranial involvement without any systemic disease. While extrahypothalamic CNS involvement by histiocytosis is well recognized (1-9], infiltrative brain i...

Langerhans cell neoplasms, which include histiocytosis and sarcoma, are tumors that originate from dendritic cells. sarcoma is defined as a high-grade neoplasm with overtly malignant cytological features the cell-like phenotype, generally has poorer prognosis more aggressive phenotype than histiocytosis. Insulin-like growth factor 2 messenger RNA-binding protein 3 (IGF2BP3 or IMP3) an oncofetal...

We have investigated the secretory function of cell suspensions from bone eosinophilic granulomas surgically collected in two patients with histiocytosis X. Unseparated cell preparations spontaneously produced interleukin 1 (IL-1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). In order to ascertain that this secretion was due to the characteristic Langerhans cell-like histiocytosis X cells predominantly found in...
