Morgagni's hernias represent between 2 and 4% of the whole of nontraumatic diaphragmatic hernias in the adult, and the treatment (even with minimal symptoms) is always with surgery. We present the case of a 50-year-old woman with an oppressive, postprandial discomfort in the right side of her thorax and with increased pain when supine. The x-ray examination indicated a large portion of transverse colon inside the thoracic cavity. Once the diagnosis of Morgagni's hernia had been obtained, she was scheduled for laparoscopic surgery to reduce the hernia and to reconstruct the defect of the diaphragm using a polypropylene mesh.
Búsqueda activa de casos de leishmaniasis visceral zoonótica en población infantil indígena y canina colombiana 944 Rev. salud pública. 11 (6): 944-951ABSTRACT Objectives Carrying out an active search for cases of canine and human zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis (LVZ) by determining IgG antibodies against Leishmania infantum by indirect immunofluorescence (IFAT) and assessing the risk factors associated with the disease occurring in a Colombian endemic area. Methods 580 indigenous children aged less than five and 270 cross-bred dogs from 5 rural areas near the town of Coyaima (Tolima) were evaluated by determining their antibodies using the Colombian Leishmania infantum (infantum) MOHOM/ COL/CLO44B strain as antigen. 527 households in the area were sur-veyed to assess the risk factors and protective measures being taken. Results No sero reactivity to Leishmania infantum antigens by IFAT test was observed in the child population. Leishmania infantum antibodies were observed in 68.5 % of the dogs (185/270). The survey found deficiencies in the housing's sanitary conditions. The use of in-secticide-impregnated bed-nets was evident in 48 % (130/270) of the dwellings, as were poor knowledge of the disease and a low demand for traditional medical services (41.5 %). Conclusions Control measures must be strengthened for interrupting the reservoir-vector-human transmission chain, evaluating health authorities' strategies for promoting protective habits and improving living conditions and the susceptible population's envi-ronment.
We present COOL J1323+0343, an early-type galaxy at z = 1.0153 ± 0.0006, strongly lensed by a cluster of galaxies at z = 0.353 ± 0.001. This object was originally imaged by DECaLS and noted as a gravitational lens by COOL-LAMPS, a collaboration initiated to find strong-lensing systems in recent public optical imaging data, and confirmed with follow-up data. With ground-based grzH imaging and optical spectroscopy from the Las Campanas Observatory and the Nordic Optical Telescope, we derive a stellar mass, metallicity, and starformation history from stellar-population synthesis modeling. The lens modeling implies a total magnification of µ ∼113. The median remnant stellar mass in the source plane is M * ∼ 10.63 M and the median starformation rate in the source plane is SFR ∼ 1.55 × 10 −3 M yr −1 (log sSFR = -13.4 yr −1 ) in the youngest two age bins (0-100 Myr), closest to the epoch of observation. Our measurements place COOL J1323+0343 below the characteristic mass of the stellar mass function, making it an especially compelling target that could help clarify how intermediate mass quiescent galaxies evolve. We reconstruct COOL J1323+0343 in the source plane and fit its light profile. This object is below the expected size-evolution of early-type galaxy at this mass with an effective radius r e ∼ 0.5 kpc. This extraordinarily magnified and bright lensed early-type galaxy offers an exciting opportunity to study the morphology and star formation history of an intermediate mass early-type galaxy in detail at z ∼1 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
