Spontaneous showering of tumor emboli in a patient with advanced primary lung cancer: a case report
Extension of primary lung tumors into the left atrium via pulmonary veins is a well-documented phenomenon. Peripheral arterial embolism and cerebral embolism originating from a primary lung neoplasm are rare events. We report a case of simultaneous acute bilateral lower limb ischemia, bilateral renal infarction, splenic infarction and cerebral infarction as a result of multiple emboli originating from primary lung malignancy invasion of the left atrium. An emergent embolectomy revealed pathologic features of the extracted thrombus that were identical to the pulmonary neoplasm
Numerical Studies on the Magnetism of Fe-Ni-Mn Alloys in the Invar Region
By means of self-consistent semi-empirical LCAO calculations we study the
itinerant magnetism of (Fe_{0.65}Ni_{0.35})_{1-y} Mn_y alloys for y between 0
and 0.22 at T=0 K, neglecting only the transverse spin components. We find that
the magnetic behaviour is quite complicated on a local scale. In addition to
ferromagnetic behaviour, also metastable spin-glass-like configurations are
found. In the same approach, using a direct numerical calculation by the
Kubo-Formalism without any fit parameters, we also calculate the electrical
conductance in the magnetic state and find that the -dependence observed in
the experiments is well reproduced by our calculations, except of an overall
factor of rougly 5, by which our resistivities are too large.Comment: 12 pages (Latex, to be applied 2 times) + 13 figures (eps-files

Constraining the Hadronic Contributions to the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment
The mini-proceedings of the Workshop on "Constraining the hadronic
contributions to the muon anomalous magnetic moment" which included the "13th
meeting of the Radio MonteCarLow WG" and the "Satellite meeting R-Measurements
at BES-III" held in Trento from April 10th to 12th, 2013, are presented. This
collaboration meeting aims to bring together the experimental e+e- collider
communities from BaBar, Belle, BESIII, CMD2, KLOE, and SND, with theorists
working in the fields of meson transitions form factors, hadronic contributions
to (g-2)_\mu and effective fine structure constant, and development of Monte
Carlo generator and Radiative Corrections for precision e+e- and tau physics.Comment: 45 pages, 17 contributions. Editors: P. Masjuan and G. Venanzon
Impact of Quantitative Information and a Nudge on Attitudes toward Colorectal Cancer Screening
Research in behavioral economics suggests that individuals facing complex decisions benefit from being given a “nudge” towards one option, especially in situations where making any choice, as opposed to none, is preferred. Decisions about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening are of this type, since several tests are recommended by guidelines, including colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy, and stool testing. No studies have examined the use of a nudge in the context of CRC screening. In this study, we compared the effects of two different approaches to providing quantitative information about CRC risk and benefits of screening, one with and one without a nudge towards fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) (a stool test)
The nature of iron-oxygen vacancy defect centers in PbTiO3
The iron(III) center in ferroelectric PbTiO3 together with an oxygen vacancy
forms a charged defect associate, oriented along the crystallographic c-axis.
Its microscopic structure has been analyzed in detail comparing results from a
semi-empirical Newman superposition model analysis based on finestructure data
and from calculations using density functional theory.
Both methods give evidence for a substitution of Fe3+ for Ti4+ as an acceptor
center. The position of the iron ion in the ferroelectric phase is found to be
similar to the B-site in the paraelectric phase. Partial charge compensation is
locally provided by a directly coordinated oxygen vacancy.
Using high-resolution synchrotron powder diffraction, it was verified that
lead titanate remains tetragonal down to 12 K, exhibiting a c/a-ratio of
1.0721.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures, accepted in Phys. Rev.
