    On the Origin of Very Wide Lyα\alpha-Absorption-Lines in Quasar Spectra

    We present a new explanation for the very wide absorption features in quasar spectra. In our model, a very wide absorption feature will originate, when the line of sight crosses a bubble wall tangentially. We demonstrate this on the quasar pair (2138-4427), (2139-4434). Both show two very wide absorption lines in their spectra at the same redshift. The bubble wall model can explain these observations in low density Friedmann-Lemaitre models with spherical metric. It contradicts models with euclidian or hyperbolic metric.Comment: Latex, 6 pages, Figures available at [email protected]

    Diagnosis of inflammatory demyelination in biopsy specimens: a practical approach

    Multiple sclerosis is the most frequent demyelinating disease in adults. It is characterized by demyelination, inflammation, gliosis and a variable loss of axons. Clinically and histologically, it shares features with other demyelinating and/or inflammatory CNS diseases. Diagnosis of an inflammatory demyelinating disease can be challenging, especially in small biopsy specimens. Here, we summarize the histological hallmarks and most important neuropathological differential diagnoses of early MS, and provide practical guidelines for the diagnosis of inflammatory demyelinating diseases
