Microstructural Evolution of Quaternary AlCoCrNi High-Entropy Alloys during Heat Treatment.

This study examines the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of quaternary AlCoCrNi high-entropy alloys after heat treatment at 873 K for 72 and 192 h. The changes in nanostructure and phase transformation based on the heat treatment duration were as follows: B2 dendrite + BCC interdendrite and sigma phases after 72 h; B2 dendrite and interdendritic sigma phases + BCC after 192 h. After annealing, the morphology of the dendritic region shifted from spherical to needle-like, and the interdendritic region transformed from a spinodal-like to a plate-like morphology.

A Complex Case of Histoplasmosis in an Immunocompromised Patient: Diagnostic Challenges, Multidisciplinary Collaboration, and Environmental Factors.

Histoplasmosis is a systemic fungal infection caused by , known for its protean clinical manifestations that often pose diagnostic challenges. Immunocompromised patients, such as those on immunosuppressive therapies or with HIV/AIDS, are particularly susceptible to severe forms of the disease. We present a case of a 55-year-old female with a complex medical history, including a renal transplant, who developed fever, malaise, nausea, and vomiting after a month-long stay in Panama.

Poplar tree (Populus balsamifera L.) as indicator of mercury emission from a point source.

The article provides original data on the ecological and geochemical characteristics of the distribution of Hg in the leaves and annual rings of balsam poplar (P. balsamifera L.) in the zone of influence of lithium production (Novosibirsk).

Right-sided Aortic Arch with Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery in a Pregnant Female: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Right-sided aortic arch with aberrant left subclavian artery is a rare variant of vascular anatomy. Three types of right-sided aortic arches are described and classified based on the arrangement of the aortic arch vessels, the presence or absence of congenital heart abnormalities, the relationship of the aortic arch to the trachea and esophagus, as well as the presence or absence of a complete or incomplete vascular ring. On review of the existing literature, 31 case reports were found with a spectrum of clinical presentation sand outcomes.

Rare earth elements in poplar leaves as indicators of geological environment and technogenesis.

Background and anomalous rare earth element (RЕЕ) concentrations in poplar (Populus spp.) leaves in urban areas of Siberia, Russian Far East, and Kazakhstan were determined. Regions with the highest RЕЕ levels were identified.
