    Elsner L, He C, Mehrmann V. Minimizing the condition number of a positive definite matrix by completion. Numerische Mathematik. 1994;69(1):17-23.We consider the problem of minimizing the spectral condition number of a positive definite matrix by completion: [GRAPHICS] where A is an n x n Hermitian positive definite matrix, B a p x n matrix and X is a free p x p Hermitian matrix. We reduce this problem to an optimization problem for a convex function in one variable. Using the minimal solution of this problem we characterize the complete set of matrices that give the minimum condition number

    A probable cause of paradoxical thrombosis in zygomycosis

    No full text
    Invasive zygomycoses (syn. mucormycoses) are rather rare but life-threatening diseases which often take a peracute course. Particularly endangered are diabetics and patients suffering from siderophilia. Zygomycosis is regularly complicated by thrombosis and subsequent necrosis. Usually it evolves from sinusitis in a rhinocerebral form. With the use of a clinical isolate (Rhizopus microsporus) and sera of the same female survivor, we investigated possible sources of the typical blood clotting. The results suggest that coagulation is probably initiated in a bimodal manner by an extracellular serine proteinase of the fungus and by elastase from the patients' leukocytes. The former causes a partial hydrolysis of fibrinogen, while the latter activates coagulation factor XIII (fibrin stabilizing factor). Both proteinases were present in the patient at the site of infection, and in vitro they jointly bring about regular clotting of fibrinogen
