Lesch-Nyhan syndrome: case brief of a rare disease [PDF]
Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome is a rare X- linked disease due to absence of HPRT enzyme. It leads to hyperuricemia, gout, renal failure, neurological and behavioural disorders, including compulsive self-mutilation. Management includes drugs against hyperuricemia,

Self-Cannibalism: The Man Who Eats Himself
Self-mutilation is a general term for a variety of forms of intentional self-harm without the wish to die. Although there have been many reports of self-mutilation injuries in the literature, none have reported self-cannibalism after self-mutilation ...

Chiral anomalies and rooted staggered fermions [PDF]
A popular approximation in lattice gauge theory is an extrapolation in the number of fermion species away from the four fold degeneracy natural with the staggered fermion formulation. I show that the extrapolation procedure mutilates the expected continuum holomorphic behavior in the quark masses.

Dual Quantum Electrodynamics: Dyon-Dyon and Charge-Monopole Scattering in a High-Energy Approximation [PDF]
We develop the quantum field theory of electron-point magnetic monopole interactions and more generally, dyon-dyon interactions, based on the original string-dependent ``nonlocal'' action of Dirac and Schwinger. We demonstrate that a viable nonperturbative quantum field theoretic formulation can be constructed that results in a string {\em independent}

Oral self-mutilation in Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome. Case Report.
INTRODUCTION Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is an inherited recessive X-related disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthin-guanine phosphorribosyl transferase (HPRT).

Propagation of spin channel waves [PDF]
A mutilated model is constructed to approximate the collision term of spin Boltzmann equation that incorporates newly appearing collisional invariants i.e, the total angular momentum. With recourse to degenerate perturbation theory, the dispersion relations of hydrodynamic modes are formulated, among which spin modes are responsible for spin ...

Mimimal Length Uncertainty Principle and the Transplanckian Problem of Black Hole Physics [PDF]
The minimal length uncertainty principle of Kempf, Mangano and Mann (KMM), as derived from a mutilated quantum commutator between coordinate and momentum, is applied to describe the modes and wave packets of Hawking particles evaporated from a black hole.

Polydipsia/polyuria syndrome in a Congo African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus erithacus):a case report [PDF]
Polydipsia/polyuria syndrome is not a common manifestation in birds. Hyperglycemia was found on plasma chemistry in an African Grey Parrot (Psittacus erithacus), which was presented with polyphagia and self mutilation symptoms.

Lorentz symmetry breaking as a quantum field theory regulator [PDF]
Perturbative expansions of relativistic quantum field theories typically contain ultraviolet divergences requiring regularization and renormalization. Many different regularization techniques have been developed over the years, but most regularizations require severe mutilation of the logical foundations of the theory.

The Applicability of Behaviour Change in Intervention Programmes Targeted at Ending Female Genital Mutilation in the EU:Integrating Social Cognitive and Community Level Approaches [PDF]
With increased migration, female genital mutilation (FGM) also referred to as female circumcision or female genital cutting is no longer restricted to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
