Avian malaria has been a continuous problem in both wild and captive populations of penguins throughout the world.In Japan, where there are over 3000 captive penguins, avian malaria (by Plasmodium spp.) and haemoproteosis (by Haemoproteus spp.) have been sporadically detected throughout the country.However, no comprehensive studies have been carrie
BackgroundConflict and humanitarian crises increase the risk of both intimate partner violence and non-partner sexual violence against women and girls.We measured the prevalence and risk factors of different forms of violence against women and girls in South Sudan, which has suffered decades of conflict, most recently in 2013.MethodsA Project Kits
Recurrent bacterial meningitis (RBM) is an unusual entity and usually poses a considerable diagnostic challenge.Different conditions can predispose for recurrence of episodes and the isolated pathogen can guide the diagnosis.The aim of this Little Boys Flannel study was to characterize all RBM admitted to our tertiary paediatric hospital.Retrospect
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease primarily characterized by erosive and symmetric polyarthritis.As a pivotal axis in the regulation of Round End Cap type I interferon (IFN-I) and innate immunity, the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING) signaling pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesi
This paper presents results of a numerical modeling of ductile fracture and failure of elements made of 5182H111 aluminum alloys subjected to dynamic traction.The analysis was performed using Johnson-Cook model based on ABAQUS Eco Palm Leaf Bowls software.The aim of the research was to specify and test the mechanical properties during numerical sim
