Transthoracic Echocardiography : The transthoracic study was done by using Philips HD 11 XE Machine with a multifrequency S4-2 transducer. The echocardiographic examination included use of various views parasternal long axis view, parasternal short axis view, apical four chamber view, apical two chamber view and sub costal view if necessary. Thrombus, vegetation and tumor were d i a g n o s e d...

Let K denote an algebraically closed field with characteristic 0. Let V denote a vector space over K with finite positive dimension and let A,A denote a tridiagonal pair on V . We make an assumption about this pair. Let q denote a nonzero scalar in K which is not a root of unity. We assume A and A satisfy the q-Serre relations AA − [3]AAA+ [3]AAA −AA = 0, AA− [3]AAA + [3]AAA −AA = 0, where [3] ...

Penetration of surface meltwater to the bed of the Greenland Ice Sheet each summer causes an initial increase in ice speed due to elevated basal water pressure, followed by slowdown in late summer that continues into fall and winter. While this seasonal pattern is commonly explained by an evolution of the subglacial drainage system from an inefficient distributed to efficient channelized config...

The treatment of carbuncles is early administration of antibiotics and surgery. The commonest surgical approaches are saucerization, and incision and drainage (I&D). Although these two techniques are vastly different, there is a lack of evidence to determine which one produces a better outcome. Three cases of carbuncles are presented to illustrate the contrasting surgical techniques and their r...
