Cysticercosis is not likely to be the first diagnosis the otologist has in the head and neck area. The fact that this disease may present a diagnostic and therapeutic problem is illustrated by one case, appearing in the face of right side. The local finding of a soft nontender mass, the typical calcifications in the soft tissues visible on roentgenograms, and the histopathological findings are described and illustrated. Attention is drawn to the fact that cerebral cysticercosis, which is a very grave disease, may cause tinnitus, nystagmus, and hearing disturbances. Recently, the authors have experienced a case of cysticercosis on the face in a 24-year-old male patient. We present this case with a brief review of the literatures.

A new $MoO_3$ based microsensor with low power consumption was presented. Typical size of sensor was 5mm in width and 8mm in length. As a sensitive electrode, $MoO_3$ was successfully fabricated by IC technology on pyrex glass of $250{\mu}m$ in thickness. After annealing at $550^{\circ}C$ for 3hrs, the film was fully crystallized and demonstrated as pure $MoO_3$ structure. The grain size of $MoO_3$ was plat like and typical size was about $1{\mu}m$. Based on the results of sensitivity measurement, $MoO_3$ microsensor shows especially high selectivity to $H_2$ reducing gas atmosphere. The applied heater power was lower than 0.5 Watt.

A diabetic 73-year-old man had admitted and examined gastrofiberoscopy due to dyspagia and weight loss of 6 kg during two months. He was confirmed diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. During the esophgography, we found the dye spillage into pericardia! space from the esophagus with air collection A following chest roentgenogram revealed a typical pneumopericardium with pericardial air filling. Although intensive care was done. he expired 4 days later. We report a case of typical pnemopericardium caused secondary to esophageal cancer.

Patients transported from fire sites may exhibit various injury patterns. Major trauma, skin burn, inhalation burn, and carbon monoxide poisoning are typical injuries. However, most physicians may be unfamiliar that cyanide poisoning can frequently occur due to combustion. Cyanide poisoning is highly significant owing to high mortality and the existence of antidotes. I present a 35-year-old man who was transported from a burning building and suffered severe metabolic acidosis despite no major bleeding as well as mild carbon monoxide poisoning. I suspected cyanide poisoning and administered the antidote; subsequently, the patient showed improvement. The next day, sudden airway obstruction developed, and emergency endotracheal intubation was performed. The inhalation damage was detected only in the lower airway tract and not in the upper airway. Physicians should be aware of cyanide poisoning and inhalation burn to avoid missing treatment opportunities.

This article is a description of the case variation in Guarani Language, which is a relatively, rarely studied language, and more so about case phenomena. Guarani has two remarkable facts about case. First, it has two overt accusative case markers, which are differentiated by the semantic notion of boundedness as in Jackendoff(1990, 1991). The existence of accusative case markers in Guarani is attested by their behavior in the typical transitive verb sentences, the ability to occur in ECM constructions, and the interpretation of specificity which is parallel to Turkish accusative case marker realization reported in Enc(1991). Second, accusative case forms occur in adjunct positions as well as object positions in Guarani. To capture these peculiar case phenomena, an account based on some recent Minimalist ideas about case checking from Legate(2008), Bowers(2010) is shown to be available.

Authors experienced a case of typical carcinoid in a patient of 46 year-old female who has been suffered from hemoptysis intermittently for 13 years. Exploratory thoracotomy and middle and lower lobectomy was carried out. The tumor was located in the right intermediate bronchus. Tissue pathology shows a glandular tumor with focal proliferation of Kulchitzky cells in the bronchial epithelium by H&E stain and membrane-bounded neurosecretory granules in the cytoplasm by electron microscope. Authors report the case with a literature reviews.

This study proposes hybrid case-based reasoning and genetic algorithms model for customer classification. In this study, vertical and horizontal dimensions of the research data are reduced through integrated feature and instance selection process using genetic algorithms. We applied the proposed model to customer classification model which utilizes customers' demographic characteristics as inputs to predict their buying behavior for the specific product. Experimental results show that the proposed model may improve the classification accuracy and outperform various optimization models of typical CBR system.

This paper attempts to improve the typical DEA model that is often used as a performance evaluation method for service firms. The after-sales service system in a Korean electronic company is chosen as a sample case. The performance evaluation method currently practiced in the firm was reviewed and some critical issues of the current method were discussed. DEA model would be considered a solution for solving those Issues. However, typical DEA models has various drawbacks in determining the weights over evaluation criteria. Proposed is the priority-constrained DEA model that accommodates the strategic Importance of each evaluation criterion. The results of the proposed model are compared with those of typical DEA models. It is shown that the priority-constrained DEA model is superior to the others in terms of evaluation quality.

A pharyngeal diverticulum is a rare complication of an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). We present a case of a pharyngeal diverticulum after an ACDF, which was misdiagnosed as a typical Zenker diverticulum. A 54-year-old woman presented with dysphagia and a sense of irritation in the neck following C5 through C7 cervical fusion 3 years prior. The patient underwent open surgery to resect the diverticulum with concurrent cricopharyngeal myotomy. An ACDF-related diverticulum is difficult to distinguish from a typical Zenker diverticulum.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder histologically characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans cells. Here we present the case of a 13-year-old girl with LCH wherein CT and MRI results led us to an initially incorrect diagnosis of meningioma. The diagnosis was corrected to LCH based on pathology findings. An intracranial mass was found mainly in the dura mater, with thickening of the surrounding dura. It appeared to be growing downward from the calvaria, pressing on underlying brain tissue, and had infiltrated the inner skull, causing a bone defect. The lesion was calcified with the typical dural tail sign. The dural origin of the lesion was verified upon surgical dissection. There are no previous reports in the literature describing LCH of dural origin presenting in young patients with typical dural tail signs and meningioma-like imaging findings. The current case report underscores the need for thorough histological and immunocytochemical examinations in LCH differential diagnosis.
