On the Mixed Dirichlet--Farwig biharmonic problem in exterior domains
We study the properties of generalized solutions in unbounded domains and the asymptotic behavior of solutions of elliptic boundary value problems at infinity. Moreover, we study the unique solvability of the mixed Dirichlet--Farwig biharmonic problem in the exterior of a compact set under the assumption that generalized solutions of these problems has a bounded Dirichlet integral with weight . Admitting different boundary conditions, we used the variation principle and depending on the value of the parameter , we obtained uniqueness (non-uniqueness) theorems of the problem or present exact formulas for the dimension of the space of solutions

Seronegative Herpes simplex Associated Esophagogastric Ulcer after Liver Transplantation
Herpes simplex infection is characterized by acute or subacute infection, often followed by a chronic carrier state. Consecutive recurrences may flare up if immunocompromise occurs. Herpes simplex associated esophagitis or duodenal ulcer have been reported in immunocompromised patients due to neoplasm, HIV/AIDS or therapeutically induced immune deficiency. Here we report the case of an HSV-DNA seronegative patient who developed grade III dysphagia 13 days after allogeneic liver transplantation. Endoscopy revealed an esophageal-gastric ulcer, and biopsy histopathology showed a distinct fibroplastic and capillary ulcer pattern highly suspicious for viral infection. Immunohistochemistry staining revealed a distinct nuclear positive anti-HSV reaction. Antiviral therapy with acyclovir and high-dose PPI led to a complete revision of clinical symptoms within 48 h. Repeat control endoscopy after 7 days showed complete healing of the former ulcer site at the gastroesophageal junction. Although the incidence of post-transplantation Herpes simplex induced gastroesophageal disease is low, the viral HSV ulcer may be included into a differential diagnosis if dysphagia occurs after transplantation even if HSV-DNA PCR is negative
The Paf oncogene is essential for hematopoietic stem cell function and development
The Paf oncogene is highly expressed in cycling hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and is required for the development of long-term HSCs
COVID-19. Pandemic surgery guidance
Abstract – Based on high quality surgery and scientific data, scientists and surgeons are committed to protecting patients as well as healthcare staff and hereby provide this Guidance to address the special issues circumstances related to the exponential spread of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during this
pandemic. As a basis, the authors used the British Intercollegiate General Surgery Guidance as well as recommendations from the USA, Asia, and Italy. The aim is to take responsibility and to provide guidance for surgery
during the COVID-19 crisis in a simplified way addressing the practice of surgery, healthcare staff and patient
safety and care. It is the responsibility of scientists and the surgical team to specify what is needed for the protection of patients and the affiliated healthcare team. During crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the
responsibility and duty to provide the necessary resources such as filters, Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) consisting of gloves, fluid resistant (Type IIR) surgical face masks (FRSM), filtering face pieces, class
3 (FFP3 masks), face shields and gowns (plastic ponchos), is typically left up to the hospital administration
and government. Various scientists and clinicians from disparate specialties provided a Pandemic Surgery
Guidance for surgical procedures by distinct surgical disciplines such as numerous cancer surgery disciplines,
cardiothoracic surgery, ENT, eye, dermatology, emergency, endocrine surgery, general surgery, gynecology,
neurosurgery, orthopedics, pediatric surgery, reconstructive and plastic surgery, surgical critical care, transplantation surgery, trauma surgery and urology, performing different surgeries, as well as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and endoscopy. Any suggestions and corrections from colleagues will be very welcome as we are all
involved and locked in a rapidly evolving process on increasing COVID-19 knowledg
