Pityriasis rubra pilaris with eosinophilia in a young patient: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Pityriasis rubra pilaris is a rare inflammatory papulosquamous disorder which manifests in six clinical subtypes affecting both pediatric and adult populations.

Presentation Of Case: A 14-year-old female presented with multiple itchy scaly lesions on her hands and legs which began as vesicles 9 days after birth. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of pityriasis rubra pilaris.

The productivity-stability trade-off in global food systems.

Historically, humans have managed food systems to maximize productivity. This pursuit has drastically modified terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems globally by reducing species diversity and body size while creating very productive, yet homogenized, environments. Such changes alter the structure and function of ecosystems in ways that ultimately erode their stability.

Flexor Hallucis Longus Transfer With Concurrent Gastrocnemius Augmentation in Neglected Tendoachilles Tears: A Case Series.

The Achilles tendon, the body's largest tendon, is often vulnerable to rupture, primarily as a result of sudden dorsiflexion of a plantar-flexed foot. This injury predominantly affects individuals in their youth and middle age. In this case series, we describe three middle-aged men with neglected insertional Achilles tendon ruptures, each presenting an average 10 cm defect.

Active Site Characterization of a Nitrate Reductase Variant Provides Insight into the Enzyme Mechanism.

Mo K-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is used to probe the structure of wild-type nitrate reductase NapA and the C176A variant. The results of extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) experiments on NapA support an oxidized Mo(VI) hexacoordinate active site coordinated by a single terminal oxo donor, four sulfur atoms from two separate pyranopterin dithiolene ligands, and an additional S atom from a conserved cysteine amino acid residue. We found no evidence of a terminal sulfido ligand in NapA.

Ligand Modifications Produce Two-Step Magnetic Switching in a Cobalt(dioxolene) Complex.

Mononuclear monodioxolene valence tautomeric (VT) cobalt complexes typically exist in their low spin (l.s.) Co (cat ) and high spin (h.
