Study of Axial Dimension of Static Head-to-Head Domain Boundary in Amorphous Glass-Coated Microwire

A new experiment allowing the study of static domain boundary dimensions in bistable microwire is proposed. In this experiment a static domain boundary is created by an inhomogeneous axial magnetic field. The changes in axial magnetic flux due to the presence of this boundary were measured along the microwire using two pick-up coils. Experimental results were compared with a simple theoretical model. For Fe_{77.5}Si_{7.5}B_{15} microwire with total diameter of 30 μm and metal nucleus diameter of 15 μm, good agreement between theoretical and experimental data was obtained for an axial dimension of the static domain boundary about 200 times larger than the diameter of the wire metallic core

Gastric metastasis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma presenting as gastrointestinal bleeding

Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) is a soft-issue sarcoma originating from fibroblast cells, characterized by a high rate of metastasis or recurrence. With only 4 cases described in the available English literature up to now, gastric metastasis of MFH is extremely rare. Among them only one case has been reported to lead to gastrointestinal bleeding. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman who underwent total gastrectomy. 14 months after resection of an MFH from the right side of retroperitoneum. The neoplasm was detected at the time of diagnostic workup for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. The resected specimen contained multiple polypoid nodular lesions which were located in the greater curvature. The clinical and pathological characteristics of gastric metastasis of MFH are presented herein with review of literature
