Intramuscular (infiltrating) Lipoma

Intraoral lipomas are benign and relatively rare tumors, although they occur with higher frequencies in other areas, most especially the back, abdomen and shoulders of adults. They have no gender predilection and predominantly affect the buccal mucosa. This paper describes a case of intramuscular (infiltrating) lipoma on the buccal mucosa of a 60-year old male which is relatively rare when compared to simple lipoma of buccal mucosa, and review pertinent literature

Effect of maternal nutritional status on the biochemical composition of human milk

Background: Infants normally thrive on their mother's milk. The nutrients required to sustain such a rapid growth are all supplied by breast milk alone in the first 3-4 months of life, in all infants. The composition of human milk should therefore provide a clue to the physiological needs for energy and nutrients in infants.Methods: Sixty three milk samples of lactating mothers of full term babies were assessed for the levels of lactose, protein, triglyceride and cholesterol and were compared depending on their body mass index (BMI).Results: The result of the present study showed that lactose content of the milk ranged between 4.2 gm/dl to 9.7 gm/dl, with a mean of 6.47 gm/dl. Protein content ranged from 0.6 gm/dl to 7.1 gm/dl, with a mean of 2.4 gm/dl. Cholesterol had a wide range with a minimum of 4.8 gm/dl to a maximum of 99.4 mg/dl, with a mean of 32.3 mg/dl. Triglyceride had a mean value of 8.4 gm/dl, values ranging from 1.9 to 34.1 gm/dl.Conclusions: Breast milk composition is fairly constant and is not affected by maternal nutrition, or dietary intake

The coherent interaction between matter and radiation - A tutorial on the Jaynes-Cummings model

The Jaynes-Cummings (JC) model is a milestone in the theory of coherent interaction between a two-level system and a single bosonic field mode. This tutorial aims to give a complete description of the model, analyzing the Hamiltonian of the system, its eigenvalues and eigestates, in order to characterize the dynamics of system and subsystems. The Rabi oscillations, together with the collapse and revival effects, are distinguishing features of the JC model and are important for applications in Quantum Information theory. The framework of cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) is chosen and two fundamental experiments on the coherent interaction between Rydberg atoms and a single cavity field mode are described.Comment: 22 pages, 7 figures. Tutorial. Submitted to a special issue of EPJ - ST devoted to the memory of Federico Casagrand

A Creative “Nanotown”. Framing Sustainable Development Scenarios with Local People in Calabria

During a two-year research programme from 2016 to 2018, scholars and students from diferent disciplinary backgrounds engaged with the local community of the town of Gagliato in Calabria, Italy, to co-produce future scenarios of local development. The aim was to enable a transition towards sustainability for a town afected by economic and demographic decline, like many other rural areas of southern Italy, but also be the protagonist of a promising annual summer science festival which had contributed to raising some expectations of change. The research has been designed to enable transdisciplinary knowledge production in the urban feld that could matter for the local community and would ultimately produce a real, positive impact on people’s lives. Despite its broad premises to test innovative learning practices with participating students for an ideal future academia, its concrete outcomes have been deeply ingrained in the local community, becoming part of their discussions of daily life and even informing their political agenda

West Nile Virus: Epidemiology, Classification and Molecular Basic

Virus west nile (WN) dapat menimbulkan penyakit yang ditularkan melalui nyamuk. Di Indonesia virus west nile mulaidiperhatikan karena menginfeksi 12 warga Surabaya pada tahun 2014. Pemahaman mengenai virus west nile ditinjau dariaspek epidemiologi, klasifikasi dan dasar molekuler diperlukan untuk mengenal apa dan bagaimana sifat dari virus WNdalam rangka upaya deteksi dini dan pencegahan terjadinya KLB virus WN. Tulisan ini merupakan telaah denganmengumpulkan informasi dari berbagai jurnal dan buku teks mengenai virus west nile. Secara epidemiologi virus dapattersebar melalui vektor nyamuk utamanya Culex sp., dan Aedes sp. sebagai vektor sekunder. Virus ini d jugaditemukan pada burung/unggas. Penularan virus melalui gigitan nyamuk yang terinfeksi ke hewan dan manusia. Virus westnile merupakan anggota famili Flaviviridae dari genus Flavivirus. Virus ini memiliki genom yang terdiri dari satu singlestranded(ss) RNA yang dikelilingi suatu nucleocapsid berbentuk icosahedral atau isometric. Genom virus west nilememiliki panjang 11.029 nukleotida. Upaya pencegahan terhadap infeksi virus WN dapat dilakukan dengan mengendalikanpopulasi nyamuk, mengurangi gigitan nyamuk, dan secara berkala melakukan survei pada unggas/burung utamanya yangdipelihara dalam skala besar maupun yang sedang bermigrasi
