Published: January 2014

We report on ultrasonic measurements of the propagation operator in a strongly scattering mesoglass. The backscattered field is shown to display a deterministic spatial coherence due to a remarkably large memory effect induced by long recurrent trajectories. Investigation of the recurrent scattering contribution directly yields the probability for a wave to come back close to its starting spot. The decay of this quantity with time is shown to change dramatically near the Anderson localization transition. The singular value decomposition of the propagation operator reveals the dominance of very intense recurrent scattering paths near the mobility edge.

IgA vasculitis is a small vessel vasculitis and while it represents the most common form of vasculitis in pediatric populations, it is rare in adults. This manuscript describes a case of skin limited IgA vasculitis in an 84-yearold Caucasian female. The patient presented for bilateral lower extremity rash that occurred roughly one month following a viral upper respiratory illness.

Background: Conjunctival sporotrichosis is a rare fungal infection, typically presenting as granulomatous lesions. Its manifestations can be atypical, particularly in immunosuppressed patients. Here, we present a rare case of a Mooren's ulcer patient with bulbar conjunctival Sporotrichosis presenting as a salmon-pink tumor.

(background): With the highest 5-year recurrence rate among malignancies, bladder cancer is a relatively common type of cancer that typically originates from the urothelial cells lining the bladder. Additionally, bladder cancer is one of the most financially burdensome neoplasms to medical institutions in terms of management. Hence, prompt identification and accurate handling of bladder cancer are pivotal for enhancing patient prognosis.

Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance combined with renal damage is named monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance. There are few reports about IgA vasculitis in patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. Here, we report a case of monoclonal gammopathy of renal significance, who had manifestations of IgA vasculitis, including purpura, gastrointestinal bleeding and joint pain.

Article Synopsis
  • Liposarcoma is a rare malignant tumor that can occur in the mediastinum, and most existing information comes from scattered reports rather than extensive studies.
  • A 51-year-old man presented with respiratory symptoms and was found to have a large mediastinal mass that was misidentified as a teratoma; after surgery, he was diagnosed with dedifferentiated liposarcoma.
  • Despite surgical intervention and chemotherapy, the patient experienced rapid recurrence and ultimately died four months post-surgery, highlighting the need for correct diagnosis and treatment strategies for this aggressive condition.*
