We report molecular evidence that ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) occur in activated sludge bioreactors used to remove ammonia from wastewater. Using PCR primers targeting archaeal ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (amoA) genes, we retrieved and compared 75 sequences from five wastewater treatment plants operating with low dissolved oxygen levels and long retention times. All of these sequences s...

  Abstract   The supracondylar process is a beak-like bony projection that arises from the anteromedial   surface of the humerus. The process has rarely been associated with   compression of the median nerve and seldom requires treatment. We report a case   of a supracondylar process that caused tenting of the median nerve with elbow extension   and pronation.  

A 72-year-old female presented rapidly developing ischemia of the skin and subcutaneous tissue antero-medial aspect a thigh. An atypical clinical manifestation led to delayed diagnosis treatment that resulted in development large loss anteromedial Endovascular recanalization recurrent occlusion ilio-femoral segment with rotational thrombectomy together multi-step local surgical healing lesion.

Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Verletzungen des medialen Bandkomplexes gehören zu den häufigsten Knieverletzungen. Sie heilen zwar meist mit konservativer Therapie problemlos aus, persistierende Instabilitäten erhöhen aber die Belastung der Kreuzbänder und benötigen speziell bei deren Beteiligung eine adäquate Therapie. Anatomie Biomechanik Der mediale Seitenbandkomplex besteht im Wesentlichen aus...

Our brain disambiguates the objects in our cluttered visual world seemingly effortlessly, enabling us to understand their significance and to act appropriately. The role of anteromedial temporal structures in this process, particularly the perirhinal cortex, is highly controversial. In some accounts, the perirhinal cortex is necessary for differentiating between perceptually and semantically co...

We present a massive 25 cm × 20 cm chest wall defect resulting from resection of recurrent cystosarcoma phyllodes of the breast along with six ribs exposing pleura. The chest wall was reconstructed with a Prolene mesh-methylmethacrylate cement sandwich while soft tissue reconstruction was carried out using a combined free anterolateral-anteromedial thigh musculocutaneous flap with two separate ...

Human activities and global climate change have greatly increased nitrogen (N) phosphorus (P) inputs altered precipitation patterns in alpine meadows. Functional genes are important indicators of microorganisms that drive the cycling process; however, functional gene responses soil to N P availability drought remain unclear. Separate or combined treatments fertilization were conducted on Zoige ...

Reconstruction techniques for the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) have evolved considerably over the past 3 decades. The femoral tunnel is most commonly made via a transtibial or separate anteromedial portal approach. Benefits and drawbacks for each of these techniques exist. Improper tunnel placement is the cause of failure for ACL reconstruction 70% of the time. We present a hybrid technique...

In the erratum for “Evaluation of a combined posterior lateral and anteromedial approach in the treatment of terrible triad of the elbow: A retrospective study”, which appeared in Volume 96, Issue 29 of Medicine, the erratum linked to another erratum and contained the reference to this erratum. The reference should have appeared as “Chen H-W, Wang Z-Y, Wu X. Evaluation of a combined posterior l...
