Actinomycosis is a chronic, suppurative, and granulomatous process caused by actinomycetes, saprophytic bacteria normally residing in the oral cavity. There are a few cases of primary actinomycosis described in the literature where it can involve any organ. We present a rare case of an actinomycosis in a 69 year old man, with swelling over posterior compartment of thigh for 6 months, mimicking ...

The occurrence of Clostridium difficile in nine wastewater treatment plants in the Ticino Canton (southern Switzerland) was investigated. The samples were collected from raw sewage influents and from treated effluents. Forty-seven out of 55 characterized C. difficile strains belonged to 13 different reference PCR ribotypes (009, 010, 014, 015, 039, 052, 053, 066, 070, 078, 101, 106, and 117), w...

Aims. We present an asteroseismological study on the two high-gravity pulsating PG1159 (GW Vir or DOV) stars, PG 2131+066 and PG 1707+427, and on the pulsating [WCE] star NGC 1501. All of these stars have been intensively scrutinized through multi-site observations, so they have well resolved pulsation spectra. Methods. We compute adiabatic g-mode pulsation periods on PG1159 evolutionary models...

There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(9)Cl(3)O. The fluorene rings of the two mol-ecules are both coplanar within 066 (3) Å. In the crystal, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into sheets running parallel to (100).
