In mathematics, a recurrent point for function f is a point that is in the limit set of the iterated function f. Any neighborhood containing the recurrent point will also contain (a countable number of) iterates of it as well.
Recurrent rotation refers to a group of songs still frequently aired on a contemporary hit radio station even several months after the initial debut. It is also used to describe core songs in other radio formats as well.
Recurrent Brief Depression (RBD) defines a mental disorder characterized by intermittent depressive episodes, in women not related to menstrual cycles, occurring at least once a month over at least one year or more fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for major depressive episodes (DSM-IV and ICD-10) except for duration which in RBD is less than 14 days, typically 2–4 days. Despite the short duration of the depressive episodes, such episodes are severe and suicidal ideation and impaired function is rather common.
Chronic recurrent erysipelas is a cutaneous condition with several predisposing factors including alcoholism, diabetes, and tinea pedis.
Recurrent Airway Obstruction, also known as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder or broken wind is a respiratory disease in horses. Also known as heaves.
Equine Recurrent (Periodic) Uveitis, ("Moon Blindness", Recurrent Iridocyclitis) is an acute, non-granulomatous inflammation of the uveal tract of the eye, occurring commonly in horses of all breeds, worldwide. The causative factor is not known, but several pathogeneses have been suggested.
Recurrent palmoplantar hidradenitis (also known as "Idiopathic plantar hidradenitis") is primarily a disorder of healthy children and young adults, characterized by lesions that are primarily painful, subcutaneous nodules on the plantar surface, resembling erythema nodosum.James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005).
Disseminate and recurrent infundibulofolliculitis presents with irregularly shaped papules pierced by hair, mildly pruritic at times, and is chronic with recurrent exacerbations.James, William; Berger, Timothy; Elston, Dirk (2005).
Heubner's artery (also known as the recurrent artery of Heubner), named after the German paediatrician Otto Heubner is a branch from the anterior cerebral artery, typically from the distal A1 segment or proximal A2 segment. Its vascular territory is the anteromedial section of the caudate nucleus and the anterioinferior section of the internal capsule.
Abstract: Children with a history of recurrent intermittent airway obstruction can present with a constellation of signs and symptoms labeled by their primary care physician as "recurrent croup." Recurrent croup, however, is not a diagnosis and should alert the clinician to the potential for intrinsic or extrinsic laryngotracheal pathology. This study was undertaken to evaluate referral patterns, diagnostic algorithms, and diagnoses for children with a history of recurrent intermittent airway obstruction initially characterized as "recurrent croup." We performed a retrospective analysis of office and op...
Abstract: A case of a 50-year-old male who developed left recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy due to a bronchogenic cyst is presented. The bronchogenic cyst recurred following incomplete excision and multiple attempts at percutaneous aspiration. Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy is an unusual complication of bronchogenic cysts. This case highlights the need for complete excision of these cysts and the lack of efficacy of cyst aspiration.
Abstract: Proliferative potentials of meningiomas from 127 patients were examined immunohistochemically using the anti-Ki-67 monoclonal antibody, MIB-1, on paraffin sections, and the correlation among MIB-1 staining index (SI), histopathological finding, and clinical course of the disease was analyzed retrospectively. The mean MIB-1 SI of 50 male patients with meningioma was 5.5%, whereas that of 77 female patients was 2.7%. Higher MIB-1 SI were observed for younger patients. These age- and sex-related differences in MIB-1 SI were statistically significant. The patients were assigned to one of three gro...
Abstract: Recurrent urticaria and recurrent angioedema are frequent adverse reactions in non-atopic patients who do not tolerate aspirin. Of 1,632 infants and children who visited our allergy department for the first time, nine children (0.55%), five males and four females, presented recurrent urticaria or recurrent angioedema after taking aspirin. No evidence of atopy was disclosed either by clinical history (personal and family), skin testing, eosinophil levels or total IgE. Aspirin intolerance was established by oral challenge. Only three of the nine patients reported aspirin intolerance in their his...
Abstract: Wild type p53 protein has been shown by recent investigations to be involved in the negative regulation of cell proliferation, whereas aberrant p53 protein has lost this negative regulation of cell growth. Wild type p53 protein, which has a very short half-life, has generally been considered to be undetectable using immunohistochemical methods; however, according to a recent report, wild type p53 protein may accumulate in the nuclei because of a defective ubiquitin pathway. Aberrant p53 protein has a longer half-life, and thus is visible using immunohistochemical methods. In this study, both t...
Abstract: AIM: To evaluate patterns of disease and identify factors predicting outcome in patients presenting with recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma following primary surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of the imaging and clinical data in 86 patients (median age 66 years, range 42-88 years) presenting with recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma following primary surgery. RESULTS: Following primary surgery recurrent disease occurred within 2 years in 64% and within 3 years in 87%. Relapse was seen within lymph nodes in 41 (46%), the vagina in 36 (42%) the peritoneum in 2...
Abstract: We investigated the prevalence of recurrent aphthous ulcerations (RAU) and recurrent herpes labialis (RHL) in a young adult population. The study group consisted of 20,689 soldiers (aged 18-21 years, mean 19.8 +/- 1 years). There were 14,991 men and 5,698 women. Every patient was asked to complete a self-report health questionnaire which requested information about the occurrence of either RAU or RHL. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, and the odds ratio was also determined. The prevalence of RAU and RHL was 6.2% and 5.4%, respectively. The prevalence among women was significantly h...
