Sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) is the most common fetal and neonatal tumor.While here SCT is often associated with urological problems, the association between SCT and a urogenital sinus (UGS) anomaly is rare.A concurrent UGS anomaly may be an acquired condition due to resection of SCT because it is rarely found at birth.In our case princess polly d
Development and analysis of an efficient Jacobian-free method for systems of nonlinear equations
A multi-step derivative-free iterative technique is developed by here extending the well-known Traub-Steffensen iteration for solving the systems of nonlinear equations.Keeping in mind the computational aspects, the general idea to construct the scheme is to utilize the single inverse operator per iteration.In fact, these type of techniques are har
Impaired B Cell Function in Mice Lacking Perforin-2
Perforin-2 (P2) is a pore-forming protein with cytotoxic activity against intracellular bacterial pathogens.P2 knockout (P2KO) mice are unable to control infections and die from normally non-lethal bacterial infections.Here we show that P2KO mice as compared to WT mice show significantly higher levels of systemic inflammation, measured by inflammat
