Fatal acute splenic sequestration crisis in an adult patient with sickle cell-beta+ thalassaemia is described. To our knowledge fatal splenic sequestration in adult sickle cell-beta thalassaemia has not been previously reported.

background aeromonas hydrophila cause one of the most important diseases in fishes and lead to economic losses, and may be contaminated human beings. objectives the current research aimed to investigate the anti-bacterial activity shown by the extracts prepared from different parts of olea europea, myrtus communis, thymus vulgaris, rosmarinuis officinalis, and achillea falcata that grow in syri...

Perforated discs have many applications in different parts of industry. By making such disks of functionally graded materials, more capabilities can be obtained from them. Vibration analysis of these kinds of disks can help us make them more efficient. In this paper, modeling and evaluation of disk vibration of functionally graded materials with regard to thickness were carried out using Abaqus...

nowadays green house gases such as carbon have the most effect on global climate changes that can be decreased by plant and soil carbon sequestration of rangelands. livestock grazing has high potential to decrease or increase carbon storage. so this research investigated the effects of enclosure on plant carbon storage in rangeland of enclosure (shah tappeh-chah mahmood) and no enclosure (chiro...

Carbon storage and sequestration by urban trees in the United States was quantified to assess the magnitude and role of urban forests in relation to climate change. Urban tree field data from 28 cities and 6 states were used to determine the average carbon density per unit of tree cover. These data were applied to statewide urban tree cover measurements to determine total urban forest carbon st...

Accumulation of amyloid beta in the brain is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and the reduction of amyloid beta has been proposed as a primary therapeutic target. Mice immunized against amyloid beta and mice infused with anti-amyloid beta antibody (active and passive immunization, respectively) have reduced brain amyloid beta levels, and two mechanisms have been proposed: microgl...

Larvae of the pipevine swallowtail (Battus philenor) sequester toxic alkaloids called aristolochic acids from their Aristolochia host plants, rendering both larvae and adults chemically defended against most predators. Using a chemically controlled artificial diet, we observed substantial among-family variation in sequestration ability and larval developmental rate in a population occurring in ...

For significant impact any method to remove CO2 from the atmosphere must process large amounts of carbon efficiently, be repeatable, sequester carbon for thousands of years, be practical, economical and be implemented soon. The only method that meets these criteria is removal of crop residues and burial in the deep ocean. We show here that this method is 92% efficient in sequestration of crop r...

Bronchopulmonary sequestration is a rare congenital malformation of the lower respiratory tract. Its presentation is varied, and it rarely presents in adulthood. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman who was admitted with recurrent pneumonia. She had been treated for pneumonia multiple times within the last 3 years. On subsequent workup, she was found to have intra-lobar bronchopulmonary se...
