GIANT CUTANEOUS HORN OVERLYING A VERRUCA AT AN UNCOMMON SITE: MEDICAL MARVEL VS SUPERSTITIOUS DILEMMA


Emergence of colistin resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae ST15 disseminating blaKPC-2 in a novel genetic platform

ABSTRACT: Objectives: Isolation of colistin- and carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CCR-Kp) is increasing in hospital settings worldwide, which is related to increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare costs.The aim of this work was to perform whole-genome sequencing (WGS), genomic and phylogenetic analysis, and conjugation assays of an

Manipulation of Energy Flow with X-Type Vortex

In this study, a new method for manipulating energy flow in a 3D vector field is proposed.In this method, an azimuthally-polarized beam with a noncanonical vortex, the X-type vortex, is focused in a high-numerical aperture system.It is found that, instead of the invariance of the energy flow which is characteristic of the traditional vortex (i.e.,

Experimental study on confined compression deformation and breakage characteristics for different types of coal particles

Dynamic disasters such as coal and gas outburst seriously restrict the safety of mine production.Different types of coal particles reflect the coal structure, mechanical characteristics and energy storage behavior under load, which is of great significance to the study of coal and gas outburst disasters.However, there is little research on the coal
