Email: [email protected] Abstract: Mesenteric panniculitis (MP, also known as sclerosing mesenteritis, mesenterial lipodystrophy, retractile mesenteritis) is a rare immune-mediated inflammatory and fibrosing condition with unknown etiology that affects the mesenteric lipocytes. MP is characterized by degeneration and necrosis of the fat tissue, chronic inflammation and the development of fibrosis within the mesenterium. The most common clinical symptoms are abdominal discomfort and pain, nausea and vomiting, palpable tumor formation in the abdomen, weight loss, fever, and symptoms of bowel obstruction. Some patients are asymptomatic and MP is detected incidentally during imaging studies for other reasons. We present a 62-years-old male patient with tumor formation in the abdomen discovered during ultrasound examination for other reasons and diagnosed on magnetic-resonance imaging as mesenteric panniculitis

Competitiveness is not just about growth or economic performance but should take into consideration the “soft factors” of competitiveness, such as the environment, quality of life, technology, knowledge, etc. This helps explain why some countries, the US, Japan, the UK, Nordic economies and small, open economies like Hong Kong, Singapore and Switzerland are able to maintain their rankings in the top league despite short‐term disruptions.

  • Reviews & Short Features
    REVIEWS OF BOOKS The Doctors Mayo. By HELEN CLAPESATTLE. (Minneapolis, The University of Minnesota Press, 1941. xiv, 822 p. Illus­ trations, maps. $3.75.) Miss Clapesattle opens her biography of the Doctors Mayo by calling attention to the " paradox of Rochester." This paradox, she beheves, lies In the fact that a " little town on the edge of nowhere'' Is " one of the world's greatest medical centers." The challenge that faced the author was to explain the paradox. It was a big challenge and meant more than writing the saga of three extraordinary men. It meant placing those men, whose lives spanned more than a century. In a setting of extraordinary sweep. For neither the paradox nor the men could be explained in any single frame of reference. Obviously, she had to understand and to make clear to her readers the changing character of medical science and practice from the 1840's, when young William Worrall Mayo migrated to America, to 1939, when William James and Charles Horace Mayo died. She had to explore the customs and assumptions of at least three genera­ tions of Americans, study the transition of the Middle West from pioneer to modern times, appraise a changing civilization as mani­ fested in an American local community, view the emergence and growth of a great institution projected from the lives of individual men, and see clearly not only her major characters but also the many figures associated with them. All this meant a prodigious amount of research, combing old newspapers, reading medical journals, interview­ ing many men and women, studying manuscripts and case histories, following clues wherever they led, assembling material from a bewilder­ ing variety of sources, and organizing it Into a narrative, not bewild­ ering, but clear and compact.
