ABSTRACT
Deterministic and probabilistic tools from nonlinear dynamics are used to assess enduring near-surface Lagrangian aspects of the Malvinas Current. The deterministic tools are applied to a multiyear record of velocities derived from satellite altimetry data, revealing a resilient cross-stream transport barrier. This is composed of shearless-parabolic Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs), which, extracted over sliding time windows along the multiyear altimetry-derived velocity record, lie in near-coincidental position. The probabilistic tools are applied on a large collection of historical satellite-tracked drifter trajectories, revealing weakly communicating flow regions as basins of attraction for long-time asymptotic almost-invariant sets on either side of the altimetry-derived barrier. Shearless-parabolic LCSs are detected for the first time from altimetry data, and their significance is supported on satellite-derived ocean color data, which reveal shapes that quite closely resemble the peculiar V shapes, dubbed "chevrons," that have recently confirmed the presence of similar LCSs in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Finally, using available in situ velocity and hydrographic data, sufficient and necessary conditions for nonlinear symmetric stability are found to be satisfied, suggesting a duality between Lagrangian and Eulerian stability for the Malvinas Current.
ABSTRACT
Se comunican cinco pacientes con mastocitosis cutánea, en la forma clínica de "telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans" (TMEP), con hallazgos clínicos asociados. En la mayoría de los pacientes, la enfermedad se presenta en adultos con manifestaciones clínicas limitadas a la piel, con buen pronóstico. Destacamos la importancia de su conocimiento por el dermatólogo, la necesidad de su estudio y seguimiento multidisciplinario.
Five patients with cutaneous mastocytosis are presented with the clinical variant of "macularis eruptive telangiectasia perstans" (METP), with associated clinical findings. In most cases the disease occurs in adults with clinical manifestations limited to the skin with a good prognosis. We emphasize the importance of studying by a dermatologist and the necessity of interdisciplinary consideration and a proper follow-up.
ABSTRACT
El liquen escleroso (LE) es una enfermedad inflamatoria, crónica y benigna. De etiología desconocida, se ha vinculado con diversos factores autoinmunológicos, genéticos, hormonales, infecciosos y traumáticos. Hay dos variedades clínicas de esta enfermedad: genital y extra-genital. La localización más frecuente en ambos sexos es la genital. Se presenta un caso clínico de LE extra-genital, con lesiones cutáneas poco frecuentes, ampollares y hemorrágicas, que coexistían con placas atróficas de larga evolución, no diagnosticadas previamente.
Lichen sclerosus is an inflammatory disease, benign, chronic, of unknown aetiology. It has been linked with many factors such as autoimmune, genetic, hormonal and infectious diseases, as well as trauma. There are two clinical types of this disease: genital and extra-genital. The most frequent in both sexes is the genital form. We present a rare case of extra-genital localization with bullous and haemorrhagic manifestations that co-existed with late atrophic plaques, previously undiagnosed.
ABSTRACT
Small bowel bacterial growth was studied in patients with strongyloidiasis, and the results were compared to controls. We concluded that in strongyloidiasis there is small bowel bacterial overgrowth, and so it should be considered in the pathogenesis of some of the gastrointestinal manifestations and complications of strongyloidiasis.
