Abstract

Paget's disease of the breast is an uncommon kind of cancer of the nipple–areola complex and that is time and again connected to a fundamental in situ or persistent carcinoma. We provide an overview and evaluate the key clinicopathological and healing aspects of mammary Paget's disease. Patients suffering from the Paget disease frequently present with a constant, eczematous skin complaint on the nipple and adjoining areolar skin. Paget's disease of the breast has been acknowledged as a separate clinical unit for over one hundred and twenty years. Since the situation in itself is repeatedly harmless and restricted to ...

Dear Editor,

I am a regular reader of National Geographic magazine, and I am writing this letter to express my praise for including articles related to animal behavior. I was excited to read the article, “Why an Eagle Really Grabbed a Kid” by Rachel Becker, published on 12/7/2016. It was about a wedge tailed eagle swooping down to prey on a young boy, at the Alice Springs Desert Park in Australia’s Northern Territory. It was an interesting event and I wished the author provided a more elaborate account of the events, rather than passing around what is already known from ...

Brick and Maggie take a trip to visit Brick’s family’s plantation in Mississippi, where Big Daddy has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, a truth that is unbeknownst to him. He has been given a year to live. This movie chronicles the events of a Southern family whose wealth drives a wedge between their relationships. Brick’s brother, ...

Introduction

Pulmonary edema (PE) is characterized by the accumulation of fluid in the parenchyma and air spaces of the lungs. Most often PE is associated with respiratory failure and impaired gas exchange. Globally, PE is known to be characterized by two major factors, the first is associated with the injury of the lung parenchyma which is termed as non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. The second is associated with the failure of the left ventricle of the heart to release blood from the pulmonary circulation within the system and is termed as cardiogenic pulmonary edema (Glaus, Schellenberg , and Lang. 2010). The major cause ...

1. A hot spot is an area on the earth’s surface that has several unique characteristics. These characteristics include but are not limited to high volcanic activity, frequent and extreme heat flows, and crustal movement that stretches across several hundred miles. Hot spots around the Hawaiian island chain created the islands. This was due to the Pacific plate move on top of the hot spot. Consequently mantle plumes created the islands. 2. An accretionary wedge is, like the name, suggests is a wedge. It is made up of a group of rocks called sediment and forms by gathering ...

The origin of simple machines is indefinite. Ancient people might have used the idea of a pulley when they lifted heavy objects by throwing crude ropes or vines over tree branches, or the first levers were probably logs used to move heavy objects. Notwithstanding their antiquities, simple machines are significant sources of ease and comfort for all people living until today’s generation.

Millions of people ride a bike or motorcycle everyday and almost everyone uses a switch to turn on the lights or need a simple handle to open a door. Generally, people use levers, pulleys, inclined planes, ...

INTRODUCTION

Human beings have always had a fascination with primate species; in them, many see similar morphology, behaviors and interactions most reminiscent of humans. This has spawned years of endless dedicated study and the development of a new anthropological branch, primatology. These are people dedicated to the understanding of how primates live, how they structure their society, how they learn and how intelligent they are? The great apes, like Chimpanzees and Gorillas have recieved a great deal of attention, but they are not the only primate species of great interest to primatologists, the capuchin monkey is, as well. Capuchin monkeys got their name ...

Control valves are an important gadget in engineering and the building of structures. Virtually, there are thousands of loops that determine how machines operate. Fundamentally, a valve controls the thermodynamic flow of fluid through regulation of fluid volume and speed. In essence, material flow at every point in the loop is the control using a control valve. In the engineering, there are fluid loops that contain energy transmission fluids, as well as loops containing different materials related to the nature of the end product manufactured. As a matter of fact, besides the structural characteristics that a control valve possesses, there are numerous accessories ...

Introduction

The Great Belt Fixed Link (Storebæltforbindelsen) is the fixed link connecting the islands of Zealand and Funen across the strait of Great Belt. The link is composed of three mega structures: a road suspension bridge (known as the East Bridge), a railway between Zealand and Sprogø, and a box girder bridge (known as the West Bridge) between Sprogø and Funen (Railway-Technology, n.d.). The link was purposely designed to replace the primary means of crossing the Great Belt (Transportation Research Board, 1995). Combined purpose and aesthetic perfection, this majestic link exhibits eccentric engineering skills and craftsmanship, a true man-made wonder. Figure 1. ...

Introduction

Ecologist Stephen Pacala and Professor Robert Socolow have outlined a remarkably clear-cut method to approaching global warming known as stabilization wedges. This theory underlines the fact that global warming may be solved by implementing technologies that reduce the emission CO2 gas (Arnold 12). There is a long list of renewable energy sources including renewable energy power obtained in the form of heat, which is then converted into electricity in a power cycle. In addition, there are other sources of power derived from organized renewable energy sources. In the power obtained from renewable energy, it is possible for the heat to supplement the ...

INTRODUCTION

Background A car jack is a device that lifts vehicles off the ground so that maintenance and repair can be carried out underneath the car. Available car jacks, however, are manually operated. They require much laborious physical effort on the part of the user. Such jacks present problems for the handicapped and elderly.

Aim of the design

The aim of this study is to deliver a high an efficient car jack to the end user. This project has been motivated by the need to determine whether the introduction of automation and keen material selection in a jack saves time and improves on its performance and ...

The formulation and agitation for civil rights and liberties is meant to enhance equality among all members of society. It is important to note that any society is made up of both the majority and the minority social forces. In many cases, the majority tend to formulate most of the laws that are regarded as being the norm in any society. This means that the minority in that particular society have little to no say in some of the norms and laws that they are subjected to in their own societies. The United States is one such society. Most ...

Epic is an animated film by Blue Sky Studios that is loosely based on William Joyce’s book The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs (2013; 2001). The movie was created after a discussion between Joyce and the director, Chris Wedge, about how they should place a story in a detailed forest inhabited by something like fairies (Sarto, 2013). The movie took about eleven years to be made from the time of that discussion and involved a huge number of decisions. Because the movie was animated, the creators could control literally every detail about how movie finally looked, which is not the ...

The following report will be based on the ancient Babylonian Numeration System. It has a great deal of mathematics involved and continually relates to modern everyday life experiences. The history behind this number system goes way back to the ancient times when it first originated in 1800 BC. (Babylonian Numbers, n.d)

Babylonian mathematics developed from Mesopotamia, the country between the Euphrates and Tigris, known as Iraq today. In the late nineteenth century archaeologists began digging in the ancient city of Mesopotamia, and thousands of clay tablets were discovered in evidence of ancient civilizations. There was some recognition of the relation ...
