Introduction: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an HIV associated skin lesion. Kaposi sarcoma is rare in HIV negative patients and is associated with HHV-8 infection. Clinically it presents as a pink nodular mass, single or multiple which can mimic pyogenic granuloma and bacillary angiomatosis. The etiology associated with HHV-8. Treatment options modalities can vary between from electrocuatery to surgica...

awareness of the plight of this unique habitat. The Swiss photographer, Thomas Marent, has spent his adult life seeking out the spectacular beauty of the most striking plants and creatures. Tackling everything from poor light to predatory animals, biting insects, invisible diseases and intense humidity, Marent has ventured through rainforests from Costa Rica and Peru to Borneo, Sulawesi and Aus...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2013-201319 DESCRIPTION An 18-year-old woman presented with a 1 day history of a rash that began centrally, over the abdomen, that progressed to cover the entirety of her body, most strikingly on her face. Five days prior to this presentation she suffered from fever, d...

Background Breast milk can turn pink with Serratia marcescens colonization, this bacterium has been associated with several diseases and even death. It is seen most commonly in the intensive care settings. Discoloration of the breast milk can lead to premature termination of nursing. We describe two cases of pink-colored breast milk in which S. marsescens was isolated from both the expressed br...

background: freezing is a common way and one of the best methods of seafood preservation for long periods of time; however, the freeze thawing process may influence the quality of food. objectives: oxidation and denaturation of proteins, sublimation and recrystallization of ice crystals can cause changes in the quality of the frozen products. this study was aimed to evaluate the effect of three...

In this paper we give some examples of 1/f processes and show the (nearly) 1/f behavior of sea-wave noise data. Wavelet-based method is used as a tool to analyze the power-law relationship that is observed in the wavelet coefficients’ variance progression.

We consider the functions 1/f and h/f , and study some properties of the successive derivatives of these functions. We also study certain integer sequences connected with these successive derivatives.

The interaction of temporal phenotypic heterogeneity with a population level fitness function was explored through the use of a simple model. The model, based upon experimental data, assumes that the exploitation of pollinators, and seed-set within plant populations are dependent upon the frequency of a pink flower morph in populations composed of pink and white morphs. An increase in pink freq...
