We present our experience with second-opinion (consultation) cases in a specialist tertiary sarcoma center. The aim of this study was to determine areas of diagnostic difficulty in soft tissue pathology. We assessed 581 second-opinion cases which were reviewed by two experienced pathologists in a period of one year. There was 62% concordance between the original and the second-opinion diagnosis, with diagnostic discrepancy in 38%. The largest group of soft tissue neoplasms received for second opinion was fibroblastic/myofibroblastic tumors, and most major diagnostic problems were encountered in adipocytic and so-called "fibrohistiocytic" tumors. Major diagnostic errors impacting management were found in 148 cases (25%). Morphologic assessment of tumors, judicious use of molecular techniques, newer immunostains and their interpretation, along with importance of knowledge of rarer entities were found to be most useful in avoiding errors.This paper discusses the problem of finding the equilibrium positions of four point vortices, of generally unequal circulations, on the surface of a sphere. A random search method is developed which uses a modification of the linearized equations to converge on distinct equilibria. Many equilibria (47 and possibly more) may exist for prescribed circulations and angular impulse. A linear stability analysis indicates that they are generally unstable, though stable equilibria do exist. Overall, there is a surprising diversity of equilibria, including those which rotate about an axis opposite to the angular impulse vector.Numerical results for the axially compressed cylindrical shell demonstrate the post-buckling response snaking in both the applied load and corresponding end-shortening. Fluctuations in load, associated with progressive axial f
