Cutaneous involvement is an unusual complication in brucellosis that has been reported to range between 0.4% and 17%.We here introduce a 40-year-old shepherd, who PEA presented with two ulcerative abscesses in his lower left leg.Cultivation of the abscess aspirate was positive for Brucella abortus.The first titer of his serological test was A 1/160
Three different and very small amounts of alumina (0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 wt.%) in two sizes (approx.25 and 100 Purse Fabrics nm) were used to enhance the wear characteristics of ZA-27 alloy-based nanocomposites.Production was realised through mechanical alloying in pre-processing and compocasting processes.Wear tests were under lubricated sliding condit
Globalization and identity are concepts too vague to describe the complexity of contemporary architecture and cities.In the past, for instance, some global integration processes turned into distinctive characteristics of particular contexts.The cardo-decuman layouts of the Hellenistic-Roman civilization are now part of the identity of most of the W
Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is one of the most commonly used polymers in joint replacements because of its biologically inert properties and low friction coefficient.However, it has downfalls relating to its wear, adhesion, and lubrication.In this study, UHMWPE samples were treated with a tubular helium cold atmospheric pressu
