We present a 17-year-old male patient with persistent community acquired pneumonia resistant to outpatient antibiotic therapy resulting in S.intermedius empyema.Diagnosis was confirmed and treated by video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with chest tube placement and TPA injection.An organism native to the human oral microbiome, S.intermedius
Abstract Ceramic membranes are a promising alternative to polymeric membranes for selective separations, given their ability to operate under harsh chemical conditions.However, current fabrication technologies fail to construct ceramic membranes suitable for selective molecular separations.Herein, we demonstrate a molecular-level design of ceramic
Mechanical energy fluctuation of the segments of lower limbs during walking has not been fully investigated.It was hypothesized that the segments may work as a pendulum, i.e.the kinetic and potential energies exchanged out of phase.This study aimed to investigate energy changes and recovery during gait in hip replacement patients.The gait data for
Background: Cancer incidence continues to be common and highly consequential for future cancer patients, family members, and other untrained caregivers.Because low health literacy increases the likelihood of poor health outcomes, those with low health literacy would benefit from interventions to improve cancer health literacy.Objective: Our study w
Surgical treatment is usually indicated for the management of danessa myricks soulmate Neer type IIB fractures of the distal third of the clavicle.These unstable injuries have shown a rate of nonunion that oscillates around 30% to 45% when managed conservatively, and surgical strategies often require a second operation for implant removal.We descri
