18F-FDG PET/CT in lymphangiosarcoma: A case report and review of literature by Nitin Gupta

“…Objective(s): Lymphangiosarcoma is a rare tumor that affects the upper limbs of patients who have undergone breast cancer surgery, including axillary dissection, followed by radiation therapy (RT) to the axilla and has a poor prognosis. 18F-FDG PET/CT may enable the earlier detection of malignant transformation in a setting of chronic lymphedema and help evaluate the extent and staging of the tumor, allowing earlier initiation of treatment options.Case presentation: We herein report a case of cutaneous lymphangiosarcoma in a 47-year-old breast carcinoma patient, which occurred 9 years after initial surgery and radiation therapy. …”

Towards point-of-care HIV testing: Terahertz PCF sensor integration and miniaturization. by Most Momtahina Bani, Md Mynuddin, Khalid Sifulla Noor, A H M Iftekharul Ferdous, Md Safiul Islam

“…It also impresses us with minimal Confinement Loss (CL) of 1.06 × 10-7 & 2.04 × 10-7dB/m plus Effective Material Loss (EML) of 0.0078 & 0.0110 cm-1 in that order for x & y axis. Initial detection alongside prompt cures for HIV are made feasible by the remarkable efficacy of PCF biosensor observations in this regard. …”

Primordial Non-Gaussianity in the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe by Vincent Desjacques, Uroš Seljak

“…Primordial non-Gaussianity is a potentially powerful discriminant of the physical mechanisms that generated the cosmological fluctuations observed today. Any detection of significant non-Gaussianity would thus have profound implications for our understanding of cosmic structure formation. …”

Analysis of curative effect of Vancomycin combined with Meropenem as empirical treatment of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis by WANG Chan-yuan, WU Yong-gui, QI Xiang-ming, WANG Juan, ZHAO Min, DAI Hong, LU Wen

“…Objective To analyze the curative effect of Vancomycin combined with Meropenem as empirical treatment of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis,and provide the basis for clinical empiric therapy.Methods A total of 106 cases of PD-related peritonitis from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University between June 2011 and June 2014 were reviewed,and divided into two groups according to the initial empirical treatments:Vancomycin combined Meropenem as the treatment group,and Vancomycin combined others(the third-generation cephalosporins or aminoglycosides) as the control group.The white blood cells were counted and drug sensitivity test was done.Clinical data,pathogens,resistance and outcomes of the 106 cases of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis were analyzed retrospectively.Results Most of pathogens were gram-positive aureus.Drug sensitivity test of the gram-positive strains showed that the three antibiotics with lowest antibiotic resistance were Linezolid,Vancomycin and Moxifloxacin.Drug sensitivity test of the gram-negative bacteria showed that antibiotics with the lowest resistance were Meropenem,Tobramycin and Piperacillin tazobactam.The number of white blood cells in the peritoneal dialysate was significantly decreased in the patients treated with Vancomycin and Meropenem(P<0.05),and exit rate,mortality and mold detection rate were lower.Conclusions Vancomycin and Meropenem can rapidly reduce the number of white blood cells in the peritoneal dialysate,and are recommended as the initial empirical treatment in a part of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis.…”
