SEVERE PNEUMOCOCCAL HEMOLYTIC UREMIC SYNDROME IN AN 8-MONTH-OLD GIRL


Heart Murmur and Anaemia in the Pediatric Population

Innocent heart murmurs are hearth murmurs that occur in patients with a normal heart structure.They do not represent a disease of the heartand vascular system, and should not be treated as such.Iron-deficiency anaemia often causes, along with other symptoms, systolic heart murmurs and tachycardia.It appears in children of all ages representing a mo

Boundary Lubrication Characteristic of Metal-Containing Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Films with Poly Alpha Olefin (PAO) Lubricant

The effects of metals such as cobalt (Co), cerium (Ce), magnesium (Mg), nickel (Ni) and titanium (Ti) added to diamond-like carbon (DLC) films on boundary lubrication properties were investigated using a ball-on disk tribometer.The boundary lubrication properties of metal-containing DLC films are improved compared with those of DLC films without me

Testing the form-function paradigm: body shape correlates with kinematics but not energetics in selectively-bred birds

Abstract A central Strings concept of evolutionary biology, supported by broad scale allometric analyses, asserts that changing morphology should induce downstream changes in locomotor kinematics and energetics, and by inference selective fitness.However, if these mechanistic relationships exist at local intraspecific scales, where they could provi
