Atypical Case Presentation of Toxic Shock Syndrome.

Toxic shock syndrome is a rare and life-threatening condition that is typically caused by group A Streptococcus or Staphylococcus aureus. It classically presents with fever, hypotension, sunburn-like rash, and multi-organ system failure. We describe a case of a 70-year-old male with this condition who had an atypical presentation of left chest wall pain and left shoulder pain after two mechanical falls along with hemodynamic stability.

biomass source for the synthesis of Al(SiO) magnetic nanocatalyst and as alkali catalyst for the synthesis of biodiesel production.

This work employed the Admixture of oil from winter squash seed oil and duck waste fat for the synthesis of biodiesel using a derived heterogeneous catalyst from burnt kernel empty bunch (BAKEB). The admixture oil was obtained using the gravity ratio method and the properties of the oils were determined. The developed BAKEB was characterized using SEM, FTIR, XRF-FT, BET-adsorption, and qualitative analysis.
