Article Synopsis
- People are losing interest in becoming nephrologists, even though kidney diseases are becoming more common around the world.
- This study wants to find out what medical students and trainees think about nephrology, what they like and dislike, to help get more people interested in it as a career.
- Researchers looked at 16 studies with over 3,700 participants to discover that having exposure to nephrology, good mentorship, and a balance between work and life can really help attract more people to this field.
Effective Attenuation of Electromagnetic Waves by Synergetic Effect of α-FeO and MWCNT/Graphene in LDPE-Based Composites for EMI Applications.
Materials (Basel)
December 2022
In this study, a polymer nanocomposite is synthesized using magnetic and conducting fillers for enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. Alfa-ferrite (α-FeO) nanoparticles with minimal multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) as low as 5 weight % in combination with variable concentrations of graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) are used as fillers in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) polymer matrix. Nanofillers and the polymer matrix are characterized by various techniques such as XRD, SEM, color mapping, EDAX, TGA, etc.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFLemierre's syndrome is an oropharyngeal infection which leads to severe septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein and metastatic abscesses of the lungs and other organs. It is usually caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum, a Gram-negative obligate anaerobe. An unusual case of Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL)-producing Staphylococcus aureus infection masquerading as Lemierre's syndrome is reported here.
