Extraosseous osteosarcoma (EOO) is a rare form of sarcoma. There have been few reports of cases and outcome from an African population.Out of 112 cases of sarcomas seen at the UCH, Ibadan between 1986-2005, 5 were EOO. All presented late on account of initial excision without histology and outcomes were poor. EOO occurs in the black population of Sub-Saharan Africa. The outlook for these patien...

Species range maps based on extents of occurrence (EOO maps) have become the basis for many analyses in broad-scale ecology and conservation. Nevertheless, EOO maps are usually highly interpolated and overestimate small-scale occurrence, which may bias research outcomes. We evaluated geographical range overestimation and its potential ecological causes for 1158 bird species by quantifying EOO m...

Obesity is a multifactorial disorder with high heritability (50-75%), which is probably higher in early-onset and severe cases. Although rare monogenic forms and several genes and regions of susceptibility, including copy number variants (CNVs), have been described, the genetic causes underlying the disease still remain largely unknown. We searched for rare CNVs (>100kb in size, altering genes ...

Extraosseous osteosarcoma (EOO) is a malignant mesenchymal neoplasm that is located in the soft tissues without direct attachment to the skeletal system and that produces osteoid, bone, or chondroid material. EOO is an extremely rare disease, accounting for only 1% of soft tissue sarcomas, and typically presents in either an extremity or the retroperitoneum. This paper presents the case of a 45...

The development of today’s complex products requires advanced integrated environments and modeling languages for modeling and simulation. Equation-based object-oriented declarative (EOO) languages are emerging as the key approach to physical system modeling and simulation. The increased ease of use, the high abstraction and the expressivity of EOO languages are very attractive properties. Howev...

OBJECTIVE Eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoO) is a clinicopathological condition defined by proton pump inhibitor-refractory oesophageal symptoms combined with oesophageal eosinophilia. The pharmacodynamic effect of mepolizumab (a humanised anti-interleukin-5 monoclonal antibody) in EoO was evaluated. METHODS Eleven adults with active EoO (>20 peak eosinophil number/high power field (hpf) and dys...

Abstract The essential oil (EO) composition of leaves Campomanesia aurea was analyzed by GC-MS. plant collected in April (EOA) and October (EOO) São Francisco de Assis/RS. oils were obtained hydrodistillation a modified Clevenger apparatus. yields 4.44% April, 6.15%, October. Thirty-one compounds identified EOA, accounting for 96.87% the total, twenty-eight EOO, 99.46% total. For major monoterp...

Turinyphia cavernicola Wunderlich, 2008 is one of the two endemic cavernicolous spiders known from the Azorean archipelago (Portugal). In spite of relatively intensive searches, this species is known from only three caves, but with a single sustainable subpopulation restricted to the Algar do Carvão show cave. With an observed extent of occurrence (EOO) of 2 km2 and an area of occupancy (AOO) a...
