ASYMPTOMATIC BILATERAL OBSTRUCTING URETERIC CALCULI RESULTING IN LACTOBACILLAEMIA AND ENDOCARDITIS REQUIRING EMERGENCY AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT

Asymptomatic bilateral obstructing ureteric calculi resulting in Lactobacillaemia and endocarditis requiring emergency aortic valve replacement

Ureteric calculi are a common cause of emergency presentation to hospitals in the United Kingdom and worldwide.A significant and life threatening complication of those stones that obstruct the ureter is pyonephrosis, bacteraemia and resulting sepsis.Whilst the majority quilters select rulers 6x24 of such cases present with the typical symptoms of l

High-Level Accumulation of Exogenous Small RNAs Not Affecting Endogenous Small RNA Biogenesis and Function in Plants

RNA silencing is a fundamental plant defence and gene control mechanism in plants that are directed by 20-24 nucleotide (nt) small interfering RNA (siRNA) and microRNA (miRNA).Infection of plants with viral pathogens or transformation of plants with RNA interference (RNAi) constructs is usually associated with high levels of exogenous siRNAs, but i

Online Surface Defect Identification of Cold Rolled Strips Based on Local Binary Pattern and Extreme Learning Machine

In the production of cold-rolled strip, the strip surface may suffer from various defects which need to be detected and identified using an online inspection system.The system is equipped with high-speed and high-resolution cameras to acquire images from the moving strip surface.Features are then extracted from the images and are used as inputs of

The Case for Nonlocal Modifications of Gravity

The huge amounts of undetected and exotic dark matter and dark energy needed to make general relativity work on large scales argue that we should investigate modifications of gravity.The only stable, metric-based and invariant alternative to general relativity is shades eq 07m f(R) models.These models can explain primordial inflation, but they cann
