Not Everything is as it Seems: An Unusual Case of Pyelonephritis
Urinary tract infection is an important cause of Airliner Model Kits hospitalization, morbidity and mortality, being responsible for an important fraction of health expenses.The main risk factors are urine flow obstruction, urinary catheters, immunosuppression and diabetes mellitus.We present a case of pyelonephritis that culminated in nephrectomy,
Renal resistive index as an early predictor and discriminator of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients; A prospective observational cohort study.
BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) complicates shock.Diagnosis is based on rising creatinine, a late phenomenon.Intrarenal vasoconstriction occurs earlier.Measuring flow resistance in the renal circulation, Renal Resistive Index (RRI), could become part of vital organ function assessment using Doppler ultrasound.Our aim was to determine whether RR
Prediction Model for Dissolved Gas Concentration in Transformer Oil Based on Modified Grey Wolf Optimizer and LSSVM with Grey Relational Analysis and Empirical Mode Decomposition
Oil-immersed transformer is one of the most important components in the power system.The dissolved gas concentration prediction in oil is Infusions vital for early incipient fault detection of transformer.In this paper, a model for predicting the dissolved gas concentration in power transformer based on the modified grey wolf optimizer and least sq
Geodetic Mass Balances and Area Changes of Echaurren Norte Glacier (Central Andes, Chile) between 1955 and 2015
The Echaurren Norte Glacier is a reference glacier for the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS) network and has the longest time series of glacier mass balance data in the Southern Hemisphere.The data has been obtained by the direct glaciological method since 1975.In this study, we calculated glacier area changes using satellite images and histo
