An 80-year-old man was diagnosed to have pneumonia and advanced chronic kidney disease.He presented with anuria and hemodialysis, by temporary femoral catheter, was initiated.He was empirically treated with imipenem/cilastatin 500 mg/24 h after hemodialysis.After 10 days of antibiotic intake, he developed severe diarrhea.Diagnosis of Clostridium di
Underwater optical environments are seriously affected by various optical inputs, such as artificial light, sky light, and ambient scattered light.The latter two can block underwater object segmentation tasks, since they inhibit the emergence of objects of interest and distort image information, while artificial light can contribute to segmentation
Cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), a sensor Holiday Decorations of cytosolic DNA, recognizes cytoplasmic nucleic acids to activate the innate immune responses via generation of the second messenger cGAMP and subsequent activation of the stimulator of interferon genes (STINGs).The cGAS-STING signaling has multiple immunologic and physiological
In current engineering practice, static calculation of windows for temperature loads is not performed.However, the existing experience in operating PVC windows in environmental conditions of Eastern and Northern Europe shows that the temperature deformation of such structures can reach values comparable to those of wind loads, which leads to a sign
