Plastocapillarity: Partial and full Newtonian drop embedding into immiscible yield stress substrates.

Hypothesis: Recent advances have been made in elastocapillarity; reversible 3D deformations of solid substrates with low elastic moduli from the surface tension of deposited drops. This study explores permanent deformations caused by liquid drops on immiscible yield stress substrates. We hypothesize that the substrate's rheological properties play a major role in determining the shape and stability of the drop-substrate interface, and govern partial or full embedding into the substrate.

Early diagnosis of monomicrobial bacteremia in a patient without colitis.

Bacteremia is a rare finding among infections. We describe a case of a 67-year-old man with resected colorectal cancer with colostomy who presented with small bowel obstruction and was admitted for lysis of adhesions. On day 8 of admission, he developed leukocytosis and raised inflammatory markers with isolation of Gram-positive bacilli in several blood cultures, which was presumptively identified through blood culture pelleting and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) as .
