Plasma sublimation for the treatment of xanthelasma palpebrarum

2020

Introduction Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is a common xanthomatous lesion of the eyelid and periorbital skin. Several methods of treatment have been reported in the literature, each having its own indications and risks. We present a new treatment method for removing XP using a plasma exeresis device (Plexr®, GMV, Italy). Methods Fifteen patients with a total of 27 treated XPs were assessed and clinically identified by the treating dermatologist. Patients were photographed and assessed by a dermatologist prior to and immediately after treatment. A patient survey was conducted 12 months after the procedure, which assessed the outcome of the procedure (redness, pigmentation disorders, and scar…

Is Food Self-Sufficiency Conducive to Long-Term Growth? An Assessment of Malthus (1803) on the International Corn Trade.

2017

In this article, we have reconstructed Malthus’s views on growth and international corn trade in the second edition of his An Essay on the Principle of Population (1803) and shown their theoretical consistency with Malthus’s food self-sufficiency policy proposal advanced in Grounds of an Opinion on the Policy of Restricting the Importation of Foreign Corn ([1815] 1986b), the protectionist pamphlet that elicited Ricardo’s vehement reaction in “Essay on Profits.” Malthus’s (1803) main thesis was that the contemporary British unbalanced growth pattern was not viable. In order to avoid premature stagnation, he thought that Great Britain should both follow a pattern of balanced growth and pursue…

"...egy tömegmészárlásról mi értelmes dolgot lehetne elmondani?" : az ábrázolásmód mint történelemkoncepció a holokauszt-irodalomban

2006

Traumaattisista historiallisista tapahtumista kertovissa kaunokirjallisissa teoksissa voidaan nähdä implisiittistä historian kuvausta. Tamás Kisantal lähestyy väitöksessään kaunokirjallisia tekstejä historiallis-filosofisesta näkökulmasta ja soveltaa narratiivisen historianfilosofian metodeja esimerkiksi holokaustiin liittyvän kirjallisuuden tarkastelemiseen. Kisantalin mukaan holokaustin kuvaukseen liittyy eettinen ulottuvuus, joka on yksi tärkeimmistä seikoista historiankuvauksessa. Hän toteaa, että menneisyyttä voi tutkia ainoastaan huomioimalla tämän ulottuvuuden.Kisantal analysoi kaunokirjallisia tekstejä, jotka kuvaavat traumaattisia historiallisia tapahtumia narratiivisen historianfi…

Large two-dimensional electronic systems: Self-consistent energies and densities at low cost

2013

We derive a self-consistent local variant of the Thomas-Fermi approximation for (quasi-) two-dimensional (2D) systems by localizing the Hartree term. The scheme results in an explicit orbital-free representation of the electron density and energy in terms of the external potential, the number of electrons, and the chemical potential determined upon normalization. We test the method over a variety 2D nanostructures by comparing to the Kohn-Sham 2D local-density approximation (LDA) calculations up to 600 electrons. Accurate results are obtained in view of the negligible computational cost. We also assess a local upper bound for the Hartree energy. Peer reviewed

Kościół dla wybranych? O specyfice indyjskich chrześcijan knānāya

2015

Nazwą knānāya (także „południowcy”) określa się jedno z ramion indyjskiego chrześcijaństwa, którego członkowie doszukują się swojej genezy w starożytnej emigracji perskich chrześcijan, przybyłych do Indii pod przewodnictwem kupca Tomasza z Kany. Charakterystyczną cechą tej grupy jest silne przywiązanie do tradycji i bezwarunkowa ochrona tożsamości łączącej współczesnych „południowców” z ich przodkami. Sam fakt głębokiego przywiązania do tradycji i w konsekwencji jej silna ochrona nie powinien dziwić, wszak jest to jedno z podstawowych praw każdej wspólnoty i każdego człowieka. Jednakże knanaici, chcąc zachować „czystość krwi”, zupełnie nie dopuszczają do siebie niczego i nikogo z zewnątrz. …

Der pikareske Roman als Katalysator in geschichtlichen Abläufen : erzählerische Kommunikationsmodelle in Das Leben des Lazarillo von Tormes, bei Thom…

2005

Anna-Riitta Tunturi tutki väitöskirjassaan pikareski- eli veijariromaanin eri ilmenemismuotoja historiallisena läpileikkauksena, sosiologisena ilmiönä ja romaanitaiteen osa-alueena. Sana ”pícaro” tulee kastiliankielen verbistä ”picar”, joka tarkoittaa alempiarvoisten ammattien harjoittamista, kuten picador de toros, pikadori härkätaistelussa, toreadorin avustaja. Saksaksi sana on Schelm, joten oma sanamme kelmi on saksalaista lainaa. Lisäksi suomen kielessä on veijari, huijari, heittiö tai hulttio, ja lisääkin varmasti löytyy. This dissertation in comparative literature examines several Finnish picaresque novels of 20th century in relation to some classical continental European novels such …

Solitary polypoid laryngeal xanthoma.

2013

We report the case of a 51-year-old male smoker with diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia and a long history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection treated with various antiretroviral regimes, who was referred to the otolaryngology department with progressive dysphonia. Fibre-optic laryngoscopy showed a solitary, yellowish-white pedunculated polyp on the anterior third of the left cord, with no other abnormality. Pathological analysis revealed a polypoid laryngeal xanthoma that was immunoreactive against CD68, perilipin, and adipophilin. This unusual laryngeal lesion in the clinical context of our patient suggests a possible role of antiretroviral treatment…
