Acute Pericarditis Occurring Three Days after Intravesical Instillation of Mitomycin C after Transurethral Bladder Tumor Resection in a 64-Year-Old Woman by Vineet Meghrajani, Arsalan Hashmi, Shuo Cheng Lin, Zvi Plawes, Shelly Brejt

“…During her angiogram, it was found that she had multiple stenotic coronary artery lesions, with no acute total coronary occlusions, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was done with placement of a single drug-eluting stent for a 95% stenotic lesion in the left anterior descending artery. The patient was discharged after an uneventful hospitalization on dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and prasugrel, and colchicine for pericarditis. …”

Comparison of Cardiac Wall Thicknesses and Coronary Artery Obstructions Between Deaths Resulting From Acute Myocardial Infarction and Deaths From Other Causes by Ismail ALTIN, Mucahit ORUC, Osman CELBIS, Emine TURKMEN SAMDANCI

“…The groups were compared in terms of the left and right ventricular wall thicknesses and the degree of obstruction of the right, left, anterior descending, and circumflex coronary arteries. Results: The mean left ventricular wall thickness was 1.461+-0.2767 cm in the acute MI group and 1.386+-0.2460 cm in the control group, with no statistically significant difference found between the two groups (p=0.289). …”

Game-Theoretic Camera Selection Using Inference Tree Method for a Wireless Visual Sensor Network by Yeong-Jae Choi, Go-Wun Jeong, Yong-Ho Seo, Hyun S. Yang

“…In this game, based on the serial dictatorial rule, camera sensors cooperatively attempt to raise the overall sensing accuracy by sequentially deciding their own mode between “sleep” and “active” in descending order of their bargaining power. Simulated results demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms other alternatives, resulting in reduced resource overhead and improved network lifetime and sensing accuracy.…”

Life-Threatening Postpneumonectomy Syndrome Complicated with Right Aortic Arch after Left Pneumonectomy by Takahiro Karasaki, Makoto Tanaka

“…Computed tomography showed an excessive mediastinal shift with an extremely narrowed bronchus intermedius and right lower bronchus compressed between the right pulmonary artery and the right descending aorta. Soon after the nearly obstructed bronchus intermedius was observed by bronchoscopy, he began to exhibit frequent hypoxic attacks, perhaps due to mucosal edema. …”

Transcriptome analysis provides insights into the role of TLP16 in Musa acuminata Resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense wilt by Yi-le Huo, Si-wen Liu, Huo-qing Huang, Zai-yuan Li, Mudassar Ahmad, Meng-xia Zhuo, Wen-juan Chen, Chun-yu Li, Bo Liu, Ya-dong Li

“…Results This study identified 49 TLP genes in banana, predominantly localized in the extracellular space, and distributed across 11 chromosomes. The ancestor–descendant relationship was explained, six genes remained remarkably conserved across species could represent the ancestral genes of the TLP gene family. …”

Breaking the Frame: Arabesque and Metric Complexity in the Sunrise Scene from Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé (1912) by Gurminder Kaur Bhogal

“…This paper examines how in the Sunrise Scene from Ravel’s ballet, Daphnis et Chloé (1912), he conceived of this ornament as an ostinato motif whose short rhythmic values trace the “S-curve” of contemporaneous visual arabesque through a periodic descending and ascending melodic contour. This undulating figure’s initial characterization as an inconsequential decoration betrays its growing significance as a metric, formal, and narrative catalyst. …”

Noetherian and Artinian ordered groupoids—semigroups by Niovi Kehayopulu, Michael Tsingelis

“…From this idea, we are led in a natural way to consider a number of results relevant to ordered groupoids with descending chain condition for ideals. We moreover prove that an ordered groupoid is Noetherian if and only if it satisfies the maximum condition for ideals and it is Artinian if and only if it satisfies the minimum condition for ideals. …”
