Thermal Field Theory and Generalized Light Front Coordinates
The dependence of thermal field theory on the surface of quantization and on
the velocity of the heat bath is investigated by working in general coordinates
that are arbitrary linear combinations of the Minkowski coordinates. In the
general coordinates the metric tensor is non-diagonal. The
Kubo, Martin, Schwinger condition requires periodicity in thermal correlation
functions when the temporal variable changes by an amount
. Light front quantization fails since
, however various related quantizations are possible.Comment: 10 page
Piroxicam induced submassive necrosis of the liver.
Several widely used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs have been reported as causing severe hepatitis. Three cases of severe acute hepatitis have been reported in association with piroxicam. A fatal submassive necrosis that occurred in a 68 year old lady who had received piroxicam for 15 months is described. A 48 year old man who developed submassive hepatic necrosis six weeks after beginning piroxicam but was successfully treated with orthotopic liver transplantation is also reported. Piroxicam may induce submassive necrosis of the liver, probably as an idiosyncratic reaction
