Background: Pigmented tumour of the skin is one of the common tumour in human including the benign pigmented tumours (more common) called Nevi tumours and the malignant one called melanoma which was less frequent but the most poor in prognosis. In addition, the others not belonging to these group had the same clinical appearance, so the application of histopathology and immunohistochemistry for the definitive diagnosis was indespensible. Objectives: 1. To describe the macroscopic features of the pigmented tumoral-like lesions; 2. To classify the histopathologic types of the pigmented cell tumours and the other pigmented tumours of the skin. Materials and Method: Cross-sectional research on 55 patients diagnosed as pigmented tumoral lesions by clinician, then all definitively diagnosed by histopathology combining the immunohistochemistry in difficult cases. Results: There was no difference in gender, the disease was discovered most common in adult, especially with the age over 51 years old (58.1%). the most region located was in the face accounting for 60%, following the trunk and limbs (14.6%, 12.8% respectively). All 3 malignant melanomas happened in foot. The most common color of the lesions was black (65.4%), the other ones were rose, grey and blue. Histopathology and immunohisthochemistry showed that the true pigmented cell tumours were 52.6% encompassing benign ones (Nevi tumour) (41.8%), melanoma (5.4%) and lentigo (5.4%). 47.4% was not the true pigmented cell tumour including pigmented basocellular carcinoma (36.4%) and the others less common as histiofibromas, acanthoma and papilloma. Conclusion: the pigmented tumoral-like lesions of the skin could be the true pigmented cell tumours and the others, so the application of the histopathology and the immunohistochemistry after the clinical discovery helps to determine and classify the disease definitely and for the best orientation of treatment as well. Key words: skin tumour, benign pigmented tumour (Nevi), malignant pigmented tumour (melanoma), pigmented basocellular carcinoma

Aims: To study outcomes of septoplasty and partial inferior turbinectomy (PIT) method, expecting leastsurgical equipment, good result, price rationalization. Methods: Prospective, cross-sectional study. Including 40 patients treated by septoplasty and PIT method. Assessment had been made after 3 months post-op. Results: The common symptoms were nasal obstruction (100%), headache (40%). The deformities of nasal septalwere deviation (42.5%), crest (30%). There were 67.5% of patients with severe bilateral hypertrophic inferior turbinate, mostly over grade II, enlargement both soft and bone parts (60%). After 3 months, the nasal obstruction and headache presented good or great results in 90% of patients, 93.7% of patients had straight nasal septaland 90% hadsmall inferior turbinate.VAS: patients’s contentment was 100%. Conclusions: The study showed that septoplasty and partial inferior turbinectomy presented good results with 87.5% after surgery and 90% after 3 months. Key words: septal deformity, hypertrophy inferior turbinate, septoplasty, partial inferior turbinectomy

The face of neurology in clinical practice is changing. Neurology is no longer primarily a diagnostic specialty. As more therapeutic treatments become available in all fields from epilepsy to multiple sclerosis, early and accurate diagnosis is increasingly required so that patients can benefit from early treatment aiming to reduce the lifelong burden of neuro­logical disease. Diagnosis of neurological disorders is often considered by junior doc­tors to be highly complex and, as such, is responsible for a great deal of anxiety. One of the most difficult challenges can be determining the loca­tion of the lesion. A helpful approach to this is by analysis of the patterns that each lesion produces. Table 8.1 describes some of the common patterns seen in clinical practice, and the questions in this chapter will attempt to highlight some of the other specific presentations needed in assessing the neurology patient.

THE STEADY EXPANSION OF THE FUNCTIONS OF GOVERNMENT and its increasingly interventionist role in the economy has for much of the twentieth century seemed an inexorable and irreversible trend. The jurist, Dicey, already saw it as such at the beginning of the century. In a famous series of lectures, he traced the retreat of Benthamite individualist liberalism in the face of what he called ‘collectivism’. The common theme in all the developments he considered — the protection given to trade unions on the one hand, compulsory education and municipal trading on the other — was their limitation of the freedom of contract, the limitation of — the buzz-word of British politics in the late 1980s — ‘choice’.

Moving beyond simplistic assumptions of a pro-cuts to defence spending ILP (and their allies) and a jingoistic, verging on pro-war Labour right, Morris invites us to reconsider how the common goal of peace could be pursued through seemingly divergent means. On the one side stood those who viewed military spending as inevitably leading to war – why improve one’s military, after all, not to use it – but on the other emerged a ‘patriotic Labour’ who urged Britain not to remain defenceless in the face of German aggression

Summary The article examines a parallel between Emmanuel Lévinas’s and Czesław Miłosz’s philosophical reflection about the duties of literature. The common ground can be found in Lévinas’s well-known idea of encountering the Other through the Face. This form of communication, which is by no means easy, is given extra depth by liminal experiences of transience and death. As the examples from the second part of this article show these experiences seem to mark the greatest achievements of twentieth-century literature. Finally, the question is asked about the two writers’ views on the place of philosophy and reflection on transcendence. Even though they do not see eye to eye on these points, the plurality of values and judgments expressed by them should not compel us to classify their work as completely disparate and incomparable.

The Face ◽  

In the County of Herts., gravel is worked for road metal in many places, and in 1915, when staying at Harpenden, I was able to give some attention to a spot not far from that place, already known to me from descriptions in Evans' “Stone Implements,” and Worthington Smith's “Primeval Man,” viz., No Man's Common.This common extends over the face of a shallow valley, now dry, which as Sir J. Evans (“Ancient Stone Implements,” p. 602) remarks, was formerly the course of a stream, either the Lea itself or one of its branches. Two sections have been opened at this spot, one superficial, the other deep and extensive. It is from the latter—from which an immense amount of gravel has been removed—that I obtained the implements described in this paper. The common lies about a mile south of Wheathampstead.

This article aims to reflect on the challenges and potential of heritage education in the context of the Federal District from a sociomuseological perspective. Considering that memory is the foundation for the construction of social identity and that this process is permanently redefined in the dialogical relationship with the other, heritage and museums are important instruments to reestablish these dialogues of diversity. In the face of museums and cultural spaces that reiterate the consecrated discourse about the construction of Brasilia, privileging specific names and facts, how to effectively enforce the relationship between heritage, identity and citizenship? I seek through experience as an educator in a cultural space to reflect on perceptions, potentialities and approaches that aim to overcome the unique history including other voices in this relationship in view of an education for autonomy and cultural democratization. Key Words: Heritage. Heritage Education. Cultural Diversity. Brasília. Federal District.


The principle of the instrument here described is the unequal expansion of different metals by heat. A bar of zinc, alloyed with four or five per cent, of copper, and one of tin, about an inch in breadth, one quarter of an inch thick, and two feet long, is firmly and closely riveted along its face to the face of a similar bar of steel of about one third in thickness. The product of the rigidity and strength should be nearly the same, so that the texture of each may pretty equally resist the strains of flexure. Twelve such compound bars are united in pairs by a hinge joint at each of their ends; having the zinc or alloy bars fronting one another. At ordinary temperatures these bars will be parallel, and nearly in contact; but when heated, they bend outwards, receding from each other at their middle parts, like two bows tied together at their ends. When a more considerable expansion is wanted, a series of such bars is laid one over the other. The movement thus resulting is applied by the author in various ways to regulate the opening of dampers, letting in either cold air or cold water, or closing the draught of a fireplace, as the case may be. He proposes its employment to regulate the safety valves of steam boilers, as working with more certainty than the common expedients.

The yeast Metschnikowia reukaufii is a natural contaminant of nectar and is vectored to the flowers of the field milkweed Asclepias syriaca by insects, some of which are pollinators of the plants. In its natural habitat, the yeast inhibits the germination of the milkweed's pollen, which normally uses nectar in the stigmatic cavity for germination. This inhibition is irreversible after about 8 h of exposure to the yeasts. Two selected strains of the yeast were isolated and investigated for their effects on pollen germination in vitro. The two strains, and their mixture, affected pollen germination adversely by reducing its amount and vigour and causing any pollen tubes that were produced to burst: One strain was more virulent than the other, and the mixture seemed to have an additive effect. The strains may be more efficacious than the natural assemblage of microbes in disrupting fertilization of milkweed flowers because they cause the immediate death (bursting) of the growing microgametophyte (pollen and tube). Key words: yeasts, pollen germination, milkweed, Metschnikowia reukaufii, Asclepias syriaca.

In this article, Sá explores “ethnological” storytelling as a way of linking the human-nature-animal relations into a continuum where one does not make sense without the other. Borrowing from the often times cited notion of perspectivism —popularized by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro’s but originally part of Amazonian indigenous sense-making— according to which the common denominator among living things is not animality but gentitude (peopleness), Sá’s article exhibits the inner mechanisms by which the ethics and aesthetics of Amazonian storytelling produces plant-animal-human relations at the same time erasing the distinctions between them. According to her, stories of plant domestication and inter-tribal marriage are explained together in historias that have a community-making ethos both as ritualistic practice and as entertainment, merging humor and literary potency. These are stories that tell of how communities come about and how they mutate, resist, adapt and turn anew in the face of diverse challenges. In that sense, Amazonian storytelling is a community-making practice that resists the urge to make landscape into something singular and concrete, a place that is possible to turn into property.
