A universal Riemannian foliated space

It is proved that the isometry classes of pointed connected complete Riemannian $n$-manifolds form a Polish space, $\mathcal{M}_*^\infty(n)$, with the topology described by the $C^\infty$ convergence of manifolds. This space has a canonical partition into sets defined by varying the distinguished point into each manifold. The locally non-periodic manifolds define an open dense subspace $\mathcal{M}_{*,\text{lnp}}^\infty(n)\subset\mathcal{M}_*^\infty(n)$, which becomes a $C^\infty$ foliated space with the restriction of the canonical partition. Its leaves without holonomy form the subspace $\mathcal{M}_{*,\text{np}}^\infty(n)\subset\mathcal{M}_{*,\text{lnp}}^\infty(n)$ defined by the non-periodic manifolds. Moreover the leaves have a natural Riemannian structure so that $\mathcal{M}_{*,\text{lnp}}^\infty(n)$ becomes a Riemannian foliated space, which is universal among all sequential Riemannian foliated spaces satisfying certain property called covering-continuity. $\mathcal{M}_{*,\text{lnp}}^\infty(n)$ is used to characterize the realization of complete connected Riemannian manifolds as dense leaves of covering-continuous compact sequential Riemannian foliated spaces.Comment: 32 pages.

Preliminary Water Assessment Reports of The Test Basins of The Watch Project

This report presents the initial plans of the case studies how they link to rest of the Watch project and on which water resources they will focus. This report will function as the basis for further discussions on how to improve the integration of the case studies within the project and to develop a more general protocol for each of the case studies. Currently 5 catchments are used within the Watch project, they differ in climatic and hydro-geological features and expected climate changes: the Glomma River basin (Eastern Norway), the upper Guadiana basin (Central Spanish Plateau), the Nitra River basin (central Slovakia), the Upper-Elbe basin (part of the Elbe River) and the island of Crete. Also the water resources issues vary over these cases. Agricultural (and domestic) water use is under pressure in the Mediterranean catchments probably aggravating with the expected increase in drought frequency under future climate. The Norwegian catchment provides hydropower services under threat of precipitation increase rather than decrease. The central European catchments are threatened mainly by increased variability, i.e. increased frequencies of extremes in a densely populated environment, and river flow may need additional buffers (reservoirs) to reduce floodrisk and store water for dry period

Luxación congénita irreductible de rodilla: Caso clínico

La luxación congénita de rodilla es una patología muy poco habitual, estimándose una incidencia de 0.017 por mil nacidos vivos, o aproximadamente un 1 por ciente de la incidencia de la displasia de desarrollo de la cadera (DDC). Debido a su baja incidencia existe controversia respecto al tratamiento definitivo. Presentamos el caso de una luxación congénita de rodilla tratada satisfactoriamente mediante tratamiento ortopédico.The congenital dislocation of the knee is a rare infrequent pathology, to be precise the incidence is around 0.017 per thousand live births, or approximately 1% over the incidence of congenital hip dysplasia. Due to such a low incidence, there exist controversial approaches the absolute treatment. This paper presents the particular case of a congenital dislocation of the knee, which has been successfully treated by means of orthopaedic treatment

Fibrohistiocitoma maligno óseo tras degeneración de enfermedad de Paget Caso clínico y revisión de la literatura

El fibrohistiocitoma maligno óseo es un tumor de estirpe mesenquimal poco frecuente, pero de alta agresividad. Se suele presentar de forma primaria, aunque a veces lo hace sobre lesiones previas en el hueso. Puede ser difícil de diferenciar histológicamente de otros tumores, pero es una entidad propia desde el punto de vista anatomopatológico. Presentamos un paciente con enfermedad de Paget que desarrolló un fibrohistiocitoma maligno óseo en el fémur sobre el hueso pagético. Fue tratado mediante desarticulación de cadera. No se usó quimioterapia como tratamiento coadyuvante debido a su avanzada edad y situación basal. A los 18 meses se encuentra asintomático y sin signos de recurrencia. Se hace una revisión de la literatura acerca de este tumor.Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone is a rare but highly agressive mesenchimal tumor. It usually arises as a primary tumor but sometimes it can be associated with pre-existing bone abnormalities. Histologically it can be missdiagnosed with other tumors. We report a case of malignant fibrous histiocytoma of bone in the femur in a patient with Paget's disease treated by hip desarticulation. We didn't use chemotherapy because his elderly status. At 18 months follow up, the patient is symptom-free and neither local recurrence nor metastasis have been found. A review of the literature has been carried out

Pseudoaneurisma de la arteria geniculada superior lateral secundaria a artroplastia de rodilla: Aportación de un caso

El pseudoaneurisma es una complicación infrecuente en la cirugía ortopédica de rodilla. Los pocos casos descritos generalmente están en relación con cirugía artroscópica. Presentamos un caso de pseudoaneurisma de la arteria geniculada superolateral secundario a artroplastia de rodilla en un varón de 69 años. El diagnóstico se realizó mediante arteriografía. Se trató con éxito mediante hemostasia y resección química.Pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication in knee orthopaedic surgery. There are few cases reported an most of them are secondary to arthroscopic techniques. We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the superolateral genicular artery after knee arthroplasty in a 69-year-old-man. The diagnosis was made with arteriographay, and treatment was a successful hemostasia and surgical resection
