Duodenal duplications in adults are exceedingly rare and their diagnosis remains difficult as symptoms are largely nonspecific.Clinical presentations include pancreatitis, biliary obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding from ectopic gastric mucosa, and malignancy.A case of duodenal duplication in a 59-year-old Dabber female is presented, and her tre
Multiplicity of solutions for discrete problems with double-well potentials
This article presents some multiplicity results for a general class of nonlinear discrete problems with double-well potentials.Variational techniques are used to obtain the existence of saddle-point Sports type critical points.In addition to simple discrete boundary-value problems, partial difference equations as Dabber well as problems involving d
Comparative Transcriptome Profiles of Near-Isogenic Hexaploid Wheat Lines Differing for Effective Alleles at the 2DL FHB Resistance QTL
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, represents one of the major wheat diseases worldwide, determining severe yield losses and reduction of grain quality due to the accumulation of mycotoxins.The molecular response associated with the wheat 2DL FHB License plate resistance QTL was mined through a comprehensive tran
Reducing the contamination of beef carcasses by specified risk materials during slaughter
According to the European Community Regulation 1139/2003, a sampling plan based on an appropriate tests to detect the presence of central nervous system (CNS) tissue on the surface of the head muscles had to be implemented in each member state starting from 2003.In previous studies, we showed a medium CNS contamination in head meat from Italian sla
