Five advanced high-strength transformation-induced plasticity(TRIP) steels with different chemical compositions were studied to correlate the retained austenite and nonmetallic inclusion content with their physical properties and the characteristics of the resistance spot welding nuggets. Electrical and thermal properties and equilibrium phases of TRIP steels were predicted using the JmatPro? software. Retained austenite and nonmetallic inclusions were quantified by X-ray diffraction and saturation magnetization techniques. The nonmetallic inclusions were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results show that the contents of Si, C, Al, and mn in TRIP steels increase both the retained austenite and the nonmetallic inclusion contents. We found that nonmetallic inclusions affect the thermal and electrical properties of the TRIP steels and that the differences between these properties tend to result in different cooling rates during the welding process. The results are discussed in terms of the electrical and thermal properties determined from the chemical composition and their impact on the resistance spot welding nuggets.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common histologic subtype of the non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) accounting for about 40% of all NHLs. This is a case report about the endoscopic appearance of a DLBCL with infiltration to the stomach in a 39-year-old female. She had a 6-mo history of lumbar and left upper quadrant pain with intermittent episodes of melena. A computer tomograghy (CT) scan showed mural thickening of the gastric antrum. Endoscopic examination revealed multiple gastric ulcers. Definite diagnosis could be made by endoscopic biopsies and the patient had a good response to chemotherapy. This response correlated well with a further endoscopic follow-up. A follow-up endoscopic examination could be considered to evaluate a good response to chemotherapy in DLBCL patients with secondary gastric dissemination.

The so-called "metabolic syndrome"(mS),constitutes a cluster of metabolic and cardiovascular abnormalities,including fasting glucose,blood pressure,triglycerides,high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),and waist circumference that arise from insulin resistance. Obstructive sleep apnea(OSA) syndrome is characterized by recurrent episodes of partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway,involving cessation or significant decreased airflow,with intermittent hypoxemia,frequent arousals from sleep and recurrent oxyhemoglobin desaturations that interfere with normal sleep patterns generating difficulty falling asleep,unrefreshing sleep and loud snoring. The relation between these two entities is known as "Syndrome Z",and there is no question about the impact of these risk factors on health and disease. This clinical condition presents a growing epidemic Worldwide,affecting approximately 60% of the general population with both mS and OSA due to the constant increase of body mass index in humans. This article presents evidence-based data that focuses on the direct relationship between mS and OSA.
