Published: April 2023

The world global warming requires a strong transition commitment to a decarbonized energy system. This means more efficiency in power utilization, recycling and reuse of materials, increase of renewable power generation and development of technologies able to reduce the carbon footprint.

In particular, Companies and Contractors of the energy sector are nowadays forced to reassess their knowledges and capabilities in order to face the challenges posed by such new scenario.

The repurposing of offshore oil & gas aged assets for carbon capture is an important part of it. Additionally, the findings of this work will surely impact the future design of the new greener facilities. To cope with the above-mentioned contents, the technologies for Carbon Capture from flue gas in an operating facility and Direct Capture from air have been evaluated through an engineering R&D activity performed during 2021 and 2022, with the purpose of assessing their maturity and the opportunity of their deployment in the offshore environment.

Following the State of Art, Market Investigation and Technology Assessment for the two mentioned ways of capture, the Conceptual Designs of Carbon Capture from flue gas and directly from air have been performed. The design activity includes the comprehensive steps necessary to obtain a CO2-rich stream adequate for the export (i.e., compression, oxygen removal and dehydration).

Safety aspects have a remarkable importance: the capture modules were designed in compliance with international codes and standards, particularly for the provisions and designs of safety and loss prevention systems. Some highlights from the safety and regulatory framework investigations are therefore provided.

The work is then complemented by the state of art for a safe and permanent offshore carbon storage and a preliminary CO2 re-use/valorization overview from the point of view of hypothetical offshore applications.

The work presented in the paper set the basis for the offshore deployment of technologies initially conceived for onshore applications, able to guarantee the carbon neutrality of existing and future installations in marine environment or even helping the world to become carbon negative by exploiting existing offshore facilities.
Subsea CO2 Injection Systems for CCS Applications – Themes, Challenges and Opportunities
Authors: Tucker Julian Paul , Randhawa Kamaldip
Published: April 2023

This paper presents a discussion around themes, challenges and opportunities relating to subsea system design for CO2 injection in CCS applications. The scope includes field development considerations, system operation and control, intervention, monitoring, and explores challenges with barrier testing.

A global review of existing and planned CCS developments is conducted, with key drivers and variables identified. These observations are used to present common system characteristics and core functional requirements. Applicable technologies are discussed as well as key challenges, risks and opportunities. A transient flow assurance analysis is also performed to inform potential methodologies for testing of barrier valves, as a common challenge in these applications.

Economics of CCS developments are different to hydrocarbon production, and lowest cost per tonne of stored CO2 is key. Uptime is essential, meaning that highly available systems must be developed with reliable equipment and constrained budgets. There is a need for simplicity and fit-for-purpose design, whilst ensuring CO2 is stored in a safe manner.

Some system aspects are project specific (for example the infield architecture driven by well placement), however common themes and characteristics drive operation and functionality. These include formation type (saline aquifer vs depleted reservoir), offset distance, CO2 transportation method, the upstream process (or collection network) and fluid composition. Challenges with managing flowrate variability, and constraints to ensure CO2 is transported in a dense phase also drive operational philosophies, as well as material selection and corrosion management.

Ensuring captured CO2 is stored permanently and safely is also paramount, through monitoring programs for CO2 plume imaging and leak detection for example. Life of field intervention and maintenance requirements may include well washing to maintain injectivity, intelligent pigging, and periodic testing of barrier valves. Venting fluid from the wellbore is identified as a method to achieve differential pressures for testing of the downhole safety valve. A transient flow assurance analysis demonstrated the feasibility and limitations of this approach.

This paper brings together topics around CO2 transportation, injection and storage across multiple disciplines, to provide holistic guidance and commentary specifically for subsea system design as it relates to CO2 injection for CCS applications.
Overview of Geological and Geotechnical Conditions of Northern Gulf of Mexico with Emphasis on the Clastic Shelf - An Offshore Wind Energy Development Perspective
Authors: Santra Manasij , Trandafir Aurelian C. , John Morgan D. , Fisher James E.
Published: April 2023

We present a geological and geotechnical assessment of the outer continental shelf (OCS) of northern Gulf of Mexico, relevant to prospective offshore wind energy developers for identifying geohazards and developing a reconnaissance level understanding of foundation zone geotechnical conditions. The information provided in this paper is considered helpful in designing appropriate geophysical and geotechnical site investigation campaigns, and in preliminary evaluations of suitability of various foundation concepts for offshore wind infrastructure during the planning stage of lease area development.

The generalized assessment of site conditions was conducted using an integrated approach that involved review of various published geological and geomorphological studies on shallow sediment distribution and shallow stratigraphy along with relevant published geotechnical information and in-house experience with geotechnical conditions in Gulf of Mexico. Published geological maps showing distribution of seafloor sediments with different characteristics, as well as maps and digital data on geohazards and geomorphic features associated with various depositional or erosional processes have been evaluated. Relevant stratigraphic information was synthesized in relation to geotechnical characteristics of various soil layers encountered at geotechnical investigation locations. This process culminated in the development of a map showing distribution of potential geohazards in the study area, as well as a map illustrating various soil provinces which represent areas of likely similar geotechnical conditions within the foundation zone.

In addition to a regional overview, special emphasis is placed in this paper on the geological and geotechnical assessment of site conditions for the clastic shelf portion of the northern Gulf of Mexico. The assessment revealed that the entire clastic shelf west and east of Mississippi Delta is favorable for offshore wind energy development. The shelf within the present-day Mississippi Delta appears as less favorable. Geotechnical assessment of foundation zone conditions within the clastic shelf of Northern Gulf of Mexico culminated into three soil provinces characterized by distinct generalized soil profiles displaying the variation in thickness of individual soil units within each soil province. Representative ranges of geotechnical parameters for each soil unit are also presented and discussed.
SIIBED: Development of Numerical Models for Ice Loads on a Subsea Pipeline

Published: April 2023

When designing subsea pipelines, flowlines or cables to traverse shallow offshore regions with icebergs, iceberg keel interactions may be of concern. Given sufficiently low contact rates, the possibility of laying the pipe or cable on the seabed without burial may be an option. Consideration is then needed regarding possible denting, buckling, or lateral forces which can result in high axial tensions. In previous analyses of keel interactions, the ice keels have been treated as rigid, under the assumption that the ice strength is significantly higher than the soil strength. Recent studies have shown that under rapid loading, soil resistance can be significantly higher than previously considered, while conservatisms in estimates of ice strength have been reduced over time. As a result, ice-pipe-soil interactions are being reassessed as part of a study "SIIBED: Subsea Ice Interaction Barriers to Energy Development" (Ralph et al., 2023). This paper discusses background and progress on one component of that study, the development of improved ice strength inputs for an overall ice-pipe-soil finite element model (Barrett et al., 2023). The paper includes a review of relevant literature and describes the use of different finite-element (FEA) techniques to better understand relevant ice failure processes. Calibration of the models is largely based on the results of a medium-scale test program using a novel test frame, RHITA (Rapid-High-capacity-Impact-Testing-Apparatus), which was designed and built especially for the project.

Authors: Nikulin Viacheslav Valentinovich
Published: April 2023

В работах автора 2013-2018 гг. были классифицированы вырождения и решетки Пикара кэлеровых K3-поверхностей с конечными симплектическими группами автоморфизмов высокого порядка. Для оставшихся групп малого порядка $D_6$, $C_4$, $(C_2)^2$, $C_3$, $C_2$ и $C_1$ данная классификация полностью не рассматривалась, так как каждый из этих случаев требует очень долгих и трудных рассмотрений и вычислений. Случаи $D_6$ и $C_4$ были недавно полностью рассмотрены. Здесь рассматривается аналогичная полная классификация для группы $(C_2)^2$ порядка $4$. Исследуются ее вырождения коразмерности ${\le } 5$. Данная группа также имеет вырождения коразмерностей $6$ и $7$, классификация которых будет рассмотрена в последующих работах.
Формальный коцикл Ботта-Тeрстона и часть формальной теоремы Римана-Роха
Authors: Osipov Denis Vasilievich
Published: April 2023

Коцикл Ботта-Тeрстона - это $2$-коцикл на группе сохраняющих ориентацию диффеоморфизмов окружности. Вводится и изучается формальный аналог коцикла Ботта-Тeрстона. Формальный коцикл Ботта-Тeрстона - это $2$-коцикл на группе непрерывных $A$-автоморфизмов алгебры $A((t))$ рядов Лорана над коммутативным кольцом $A$ со значениями в группе $A^*$ обратимых элементов кольца $A$. Доказывается, что центральное расширение, заданное формальным коциклом Ботта-Тeрстона, эквивалентно 12-кратной сумме Бэра детерминантного центрального расширения, если $A$ является $\mathbb Q$-алгеброй. В качестве следствия этого результата доказывается часть новой формальной теоремы Римана-Роха. Эта теорема Римана-Роха применяется к окольцованному пространству на отделимой схеме $S$ над полем $\mathbb Q$, где структурный пучок окольцованного пространства локально на схеме $S$ изоморфен пучку $\mathcal O_S((t))$ и склеивающие автоморфизмы непрерывны. Локально на схеме $S$ это окольцованное пространство соответствует проколотой формальной окрестности сечения гладкого морфизма в $U$ относительной размерности $1$, где $U \subset S$ - открытое подмножество.

Published: April 2023

Ферромагнитные диссипативные системы, описывающиеся изотропным уравнением Ландау-Лифшица-Гильберта, изучаются с точки зрения их пространственно локализованных динамических возбуждений. В частности, строятся диссипативные солитонные решения нелокального нелинейного уравнения Шредингера, в которое преобразуется уравнение Ландау-Лифшица-Гильберта. Для доказательства существования этих решений при достаточно малом рассеянии используется теория Мельникова. Для проверки достоверности полученных аналитических результатов применяются псевдоспектральные численные методы и физически-информированные нейронные сети в схеме машинного обучения. Такие локализованные структуры были обнаружены экспериментально в магнитных системах и наблюдались в наноосцилляторах, а магнитные капли, описывающиеся диссипативными солитонами, были исследованы теоретически и наблюдались в эксперименте.
Существование решений системы двух обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений с нелинейностью модульно-кубического типа
Authors: Tischenko Bogdan Viktorovich
Published: April 2023

Для исследования существования решений одномерной нелинейной системы обыкновенных дифференциальных уравнений с разными степенями малого параметра при старших производных применен асимптотический анализ. Особенностью задачи является наличие разрыва первого рода в правой части уравнения $\varepsilon^4u-f(u,v,x,\varepsilon)$ по неизвестной переменной $u$ на уровне $u=0$, в то время как правая часть второго уравнения $\varepsilon^2v-g(u,v,x,\varepsilon)$ считается гладкой по всем переменным. Сформулировано определение обобщенного решения задачи в терминах дифференциальных включений. Предложены условия, при которых обобщенные решения превращаются в сильные, а также исследована возможность того, что $u$-компонента решения только один раз пересекает ноль. Для доказательства теорем существования используется асимптотический метод дифференциальных неравенств.

Artemisinin drug resistance is one of the major reasons for malaria treatment failures in the sub-Saharan African countries where artemisinin-based  combination therapy (ACT) is the first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria. The occurrence of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is found to  correlate with antimalarial drug resistance. With artemisinin, the SNPs occurs at the Kelch 13-propeller gene locus on chromosome 13. The artemisinin  drug resistance surveillance strategy involves continuous monitoring of Kelch 13-propeller biomarker to detect emergence of mutations which could  herald drug resistance in the region. In this narrative review paper, we examined existing literature to bridge the knowledge gap and accentuate the  importance of routine surveillance for artemisinin resistance in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted our search on PubMed database and Google Scholar to  identify peer-reviewed articles, reports, and abstracts on artemisinin drug resistance using the following keywords; ‘artemisinin drug resistance’,  ‘antimalarial drug resistance’, ‘artemisinin-based combination therapy’, ‘Kelch 13-propeller’, ‘K13- propeller gene’, and ‘K13 molecular marker’. The review  provided pertinent information on artemisinin derivatives, artemisinin-based combination therapy, molecular action of artemisinin, definition of  artemisinin resistance, genetic basis of artemisinin drug resistance and discovery of Kelch 13, and the importance of artemisinin resistance surveillance.  Molecular surveillance can provide healthcare policy makers a forecast of impending threats to malaria treatment. This is more so when drugs are in  combination therapy, for instance, molecular surveillance can give a hint that one drug is failing despite the fact that in combination, it is still apparently  clinically effective.

Published: April 2023

Background: Much controversies have been associated with the pathogenicity of Mycoplasma hominis but little has been done to unravel the mystery  behind the different views. This study aimed at investigating the genetic variants abounding within M. hominis and the distribution of the virulent genes among the variants.

Methodology: Twenty (20) M. hominis isolates from high vaginal swabs of women (11 from pregnant women and 9 from women presenting with  infertility) attending the Obstetrics and Gynaecology clinics of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Nnewi, Nigeria, were sequenced  using 16S rRNA universal gene target for the purpose of phylogenetic analysis and epidemiological typing. The isolates were also screened for the  presence of M. hominis variable adherence antigen (vaa) and p120 virulent genes using primer constructs from the respective genes in a conventional  PCR protocol.

Results: Of the 20 M. hominis vaginal isolates, 4 phylogenetic strains were detected; strain MHS43 constituted 10/20 (50.0%) [2/9 (22.2%) from infertile  women and 8/11 (72.7%) from pregnant women]; strain MHBS constituted 3/20 (15%) [3/9 (33.3%) from infertile women and 0/11 (0%) from pregnant  women]; strain MHSWP2 constituted 4/20 (20.0%) [3/9 (33.3%) from infertile women and 1/11 (9.1%) from pregnant women]; while strain MHKC87  constituted 3/20 (15%) [1/9 (11.1%) from infertile women and 2/11 (18.2%) from pregnant women]. Each of vaa and p120 genes was detected in 14 of 20  isolates, while 6 isolates did not carry the genes. A 2-way ANOVA test showed that none of the genes was significantly associated with a particular strain  (p=0.8641).

Conclusions: The different views regarding the pathogenicity of M. hominis may be linked to the heterogeneity within the species and lack of  omogeneity in the virulent genes as witnessed both in the intra species and intra strain levels.
Prevalence and risk factors associated with canine dermatophytoses among dogs in Kwara and Osun States, Nigeria
Authors: Adesiji Y.O. , Oluwayelu D.O. , Aiyedun J.O.
Published: April 2023

Background: Dermatophytosis (ringworm) is a zoonotic fungal skin infection caused predominantly by Microsporum canis, Microsporum gypseum and  Trichophyton spp. It is highly transmissible and, while normally self-limiting, could be problematic due to its potential to cause disease in certain human  populations. The occurrence and associated risk factors of dermatophytoses in dogs presented at three veterinary clinics in Osogbo, and Ilorin, Nigeria between July and November 2019 were investigated in this study.

Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of 325 dogs with lesions suggestive of dermatophytosis, selected by simple random sampling from three veterinary clinics in Osogbo and Ilorin, purposively selected for the study due to high patronage of the veterinary hospitals by dog owners.  Using conventional mycological sampling techniques, plucked hairs and skin scrapings were obtained the dogs. The samples were emulsified in 10%  potassium hydroxide, examined microscopically for fungal elements and cultured using standard mycological procedures. Information on dog  demographic characteristics and risk factors for dermatophytosis were collected using structured questionnaire. The association between risk factors  and demographic variables with the occurrence of dermatophytoses was determined using Chi-square test (with Odds ratio and 95% confidence interval)  and p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: Positive cultures for dermatophytes were obtained from samples of 48 (14.8%) dogs  with M. canis 37.5% (18/48), M. gypseum 27.0% (13/48) and T. mentagrophytes 8.3% (4/48). Other fungi identified were Aspergillus flavus 12.5% (6/48) and  Malassezia canis 12.5% (6/48). The age distribution of positive dogs were < 1 year (50.0%, n=24), 1-3 years (29.2%, n=14) and > 3 years (20.8%, n=10),  while the risk factors associated with dermatophytosis included sex of dogs (p=0.0428), history of dermatophytosis (p<0.0001), clinical presentation  (p<0.0001) and lesion type, especially kerion and pustular lesions (p=0.0297).

Conclusion: These findings established the occurrence of dermatophytosis  in dogs kept for companionship (i. e., pets), security and breeding purposes in the two States in Nigeria. Our findings underscore the need for routine  mycological investigations in dogs to facilitate early detection of cases and prompt institution of treatment interventions, thereby preventing zoonotic  transmission of dermatophytes to their owners, handlers and veterinarians.

Determination sex of birds by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method is increasingly popular among researchers and the public. The PCR method is known to provide accurate test results in determining the sex of birds, but one of its successes is greatly influenced by the compatibility between the primers used and the template DNA. This study was conducted to evaluate the use of primers 2550F/2718R, 1237L/1272H, P2/P8, and CHD1F/CHD1R in birds from the families Phasianidae, Estrildidae, Passeridae, and Psittacidae. PCR sexing was performed on DNA samples from the 4 bird families above, using primers 2550F/2718R, 1237L/1272H, P2/P8, and CHD1F/CHD1R. PCR results were evaluated by comparing the size of the PCR band with a reference. The results showed that the CHD1F/CHD1R primer could be used in 4 families tested. PCR products for male birds showed 1 band measuring approximately 500 bp, while for female birds 2 bands were 500 and 320 bp. Primer 2550F/2718R could only be used in the families Phasianidae and Psittacidae, while 1237L/1272H and P2/P8 could not be used in the samples tested. CHD1F/CHD1R primers can be used to determine the sex of birds from the families Phasianidae, Estrildidae, Passeridae, and Psittacidae.

The Redemption of the Theological Ideal in the Baroque: An Analysis of Donne, Herbert, and Marvell’s Poetry
Authors: Asadi Amjad Fazel , Ghiasian Shahrbabaki Mahdi
Published: April 2023

The baroque is a term that its meaning, apart from its etymology, is not by any means clear. There are a lot of inconsistencies in the descriptions which have been given of the characteristics of baroque art. One of such disagreements is regarding the kind of mentality that it supposedly represents. Whereas a lot of critics—if not the majority of them—seem to believe that baroque art represents the kind of mind that was overwhelmed by existential fears, Gilles Deleuze represents the baroque subject as being capable of resolving such fears. He believes that baroque artists and philosophers were able to redeem the theological ideal, or the idea that the world is meaningful. They did so, he explains, by inventing new principles that were capable of proving that the world is perfectly harmonious despite the existence of evil. The aim of this study is to establish a correlation between, and provide new readings of, some major seventeenth-century poems, namely Donne’s “Anniversaries,” Herbert’s “Virtue” and Marvell’s “The Garden,” by showing that they indicate a struggle to save the theological ideal, or to prove that the world is perfectly harmonious–which is according to Deleuze characteristic of the baroque.

As a complex, often recurring phenomenon that risks to remain undeclared, domestic violence is a problem that has been recently approached on its own terms by the Romanian public policy. There are currently several series of statistical data provided by the institutions that are entrusted with fighting domestic violence. The combined analysis of these data creates a puzzling image about the phenomenon. This study includes a diagnosis of the phenomenon over the past years, and explores the relationship between public policy and the dynamic of the phenomenon, in (the) periods of building up the integrated monitoring system. In apparent contradiction with the qualitative perception of the COVID-19 pandemic as favoring factor, the study identifies the differentiated impact of the pandemic on domestic violence over the period 2020−2021. Keywords: domestic violence; public policy measurement; gender inequality; COVID-19. ●●●●● Adesea repetitivă, dar în risc de a rămâne nedeclarată, violența domestică este un fenomen relativ recent abordat per se în politica publică românească.

Integration of Fuzzy PIPRECIA and Fuzzy MOORA Methods for Maintenance Strategy Selection
Authors: KUNDAKCI Nilsen
Published: April 2023

In today’s competitive environment, there is a pressure on companies for reducing costs and increasing the quality by providing on time delivery. Maintenance, plays an important role in reducing cost, improving quality, reducing failures, minimizing machine downtime, increasing productivity and as a result achieving objectives of company. The aim of this paper is to select best maintenance strategy for a manufacturing company by using an integrated fuzzy MCDM (Multi-Criteria Decision Making) approach. This approach is based on fuzzy PIPRECIA (Pivot Pairwise Relative Criteria Importance Assessment) and fuzzy MOORA (Multi Objective and Optimization on the Basis of Ratio Analysis) methods. The selection of maintenance strategy is a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. As this problem includes uncertainties and difficulty in evaluating alternatives and criteria with definite expressions, fuzzy MCDM approach is proposed for selecting the best maintenance strategy. As a result of the application of the proposed integrated method in the manufacturing company, the ranking of the maintenance strategies was obtained, and predictive maintenance strategy was determined as the most appropriate maintenance strategy for the company.

O presente texto tem relação com um projeto de pesquisa sob o Título “(Multi) Letramentos e os Gêneros Textuais e ou Discursivos: contribuições para o ensino e aprendizagem de línguas em tempos digitais”,  envolvendo gêneros textuais do meio digital,  o ensino de línguas e a  presença da multimodalidade enquanto  recursos disponíveis na cultural digital. O recorte que realizamos para esta escrita envolve uma propaganda vinculada em meio digital que além da presença da linguagem escrita apresenta múltiplas semioses exigindo um outro olhar para a leitura dos recursos linguísticos, contextuais, imagéticos e digitais. Assim, a finalidade deste artigo é explorar aspectos da multimodalidade na leitura de textos do meio digital. Sob o olhar da visão interacional da linguagem, os fundamentos para as análises do texto vinculou se em  Monte Mór (2017) , e nas teorias dos  na  teoria da multimodalidade de Kress e Van Leeuwen (2006[1996]), Kalantzis, Cope e Pinheiro (2020), Marcuschi, (2004) que ensinam sobre os gêneros textuais e sua funcionalidade  entre outros. Trata-se, portanto, de um estudo qualitativo-interpretativista pois analisamos e interpretamos  enunciados,  assim como analisamos a ligação do conteúdo e o verbo-visual dos enunciados em  textos multimodais.

With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, there is an increasing demand for real-time data processing and analysis. However, the traditional cloud computing architecture is not well-suited for IoT applications due to its inherent limitations such as high latency, limited bandwidth, and high-power consumption. Fog computing has emerged as a promising solution that brings computation and storage capabilities closer to the edge of the network. This paper explores the transition from IoT to Cloud of Things (CoT) using Fog computing. We discuss the benefits and challenges of Fog computing and analyse its architecture and components. Additionally, we examine various use cases of Fog computing and discuss their advantages and limitations. We conclude by highlighting the potential of Fog computing to enable the transition from IoT to CoT
What is the relationship between HIV and skin wound healing process? A systematic review of clinical evidence
Authors:   , Ottu Bodunrin Olaseni
Published: April 2023

Introduction: The steady rise in the number of people living with HIV (PLHIV) all over the world confirms that HIV/AIDS is a notable global pandemic. PLHIV often have cutaneous wound infection with grave consequences, including prolonged hospitalization stay and further weakening of the immune system. Although it is known that HIV interferes with the time of the wound healing process, what remains poorly understood are the main pathways activated in this process and the relationship between these pathways, and the delay in the closure of skin wounds in infected patients. Aim: This systematic review aims to analyze the current evidence regarding the influence of HIV on the cellular pathways activated during the closure of skin wounds in patients infected compared to uninfected healthy humans. Methods: A structured search on the Pubmed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were used to retrieve articles based on our eligibility criteria. The screening of articles that met the inclusion criteria was done using the PRISMA strategy and the risk of bias for all selected studies was assessed with the SYRCLE’s tool. Results: A total of twelve (12) studies involving HIV seropositive patients were selected and reviewed. HIV was shown to slow the process of wound healing when compared to the control. A low CD4 + count correlated with a worse healing time and increased the chance of wound infections. Despite the administration of antibiotics (n=4, 33.33, especially Cephazolin (n=2, 17%)), wound healing time in HIV+ patients were slower compared to healthy individuals and no antibiotic showed a direct influence on the wound healing process. Conclusion: Wound closure is impaired in HIV+ patients, probably by the release of extracellular vesicles with HIV-derived components that can modulate host immunity and promote the severity of the infection, especially CD4+, compromising the wound healing process. Thus, this study highlights the importance of preserving the immune system of HIV- positive patients to maintain a good pattern of healing, especially for skin wounds. This study is registered on the PROSPERO platform (CRD42021265199). Keywords: Wound healing. HIV. Skin. Humans. CD4 + .5

Published: April 2023

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a multisystem disorder that primarily affects the lung. Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is characterized by multiple benign tumours of the skin, brain, eyes, heart, lung, liver, and kidney. LAM can be either sporadic (sporadic-LAM) or in association with Tuberous Sclerosis (TSC-LAM). Many clinical, radiologic, and pathologic features are shared between TSC and sporadic variants. We present a case admitted at The Indus Hospital Karachi with pneumothorax and multiple manifestations of TSC-LAM.
