Abstract

We report a case of large renal hemangioma that completely filled the collecting system in a 43-year-old man. Most of the renal hemangiomas are small in size and this situation is extremely rare. The diagnosis and treatment of the case is discussed.

Astrophysics of the Soft Gamma Repeaters and Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars

“…In a steady state, the heated electrons cool primarily by Compton upscattering O-mode photons (which maintain a Wien distribution and have a large scattering cross-section ∼ σ T in an ultra-strong magnetic field). The net result is an anti-correlation between hardness and luminosity which is qualitatively similar to that observed in the short bursts (Gögüş et al 2001).…”

“…Similarly, one infers that the injection was fast enough to reach LTE in the main, bright component of the 29 August burst. Nonetheless, the question remains open as to whether an LTE fireball actually forms in the much more common short SGR bursts, which have a characteristic ∼ 0.1-s duration much shorter than the 3.5-s duration of the 29 August burst (Gögüş et al 2001). In a steady state, the heated electrons cool primarily by Compton upscattering O-mode photons (which maintain a Wien distribution and have a large scattering cross-section ∼ σ T in an ultra-strong magnetic field).…”

Multiwavelength Observations of the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1900+14 during Its 2001 April Activation

“…When active, SGRs emit bunches of up to hundreds of very short, low-energy bursts. The bursts vary in duration and temporal structure from simple, single pulses lasting less than 10 ms, to longer, and more complex events of ∼ 100 ms; occasionally highly complex events have been recorded, that comprise over 40 very short subpulses each lasting tens of ms ( (Gögüş et al 2001)).…”

Intravesical foreign body causing a cystolith in a gelding

“…The human medical literature contains multiple case reports of intravesical foreign bodies (Göğüs et al, 2002; Junceda Avello et al, 1977; Mannan et al, 2011; Nishiyama et al, 2002; Rajaie Esfahani & Abdar, 2007; Woods & Wise Jr., 1980; Yalçin et al, 1998). Most of these are iatrogenically or self‐introduced into the bladder but perforation and migration from adjacent organs (Baumgartner et al, 1990; Mannan et al, 2011; Van Ophoven & DeKernion, 2000) have also been described.…”
