A Pediatric Case of Disseminated Bartonella henselae Infection Accompanied by Multiple Intracranial Lesions.

We report a pediatric case of disseminated Bartonella henselae infection accompanied by multiple intracranial lesions. The patient developed multiple intracranial lesions despite treatment with azithromycin and gentamicin. After switching to rifampicin, the clinical symptoms of the patient improved.

Experimental Investigation of Material Properties and Self-Healing Ability in A Blended Cement Mortar with Blast Furnace Slag.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the material properties and self-healing ability of a blended cement mortar incorporating blast furnace slag (BFS). The effect of different types and Blaine fineness of BFS on the material properties and self-healing was investigated. Thirteen cement mixtures with BFS of different types and degrees of Blaine fineness are tested to evaluate the mechanical properties, namely compressive strength, bending strength, freeze-thaw, and accelerated carbonation.

Maturity and Strength Development of Mortar with Antifreezing Admixture at Temperatures Lower than 0 °C.

This study investigated the effect of temperature and time at temperatures lower than 0 °C on mortar mixed with antifreezing admixture to determine the temperature-time function with the aim of expressing the effect universally. As a result, the maturity equation for temperatures lower than 0 °C proposed in previous studies was verified to be applicable to type-B blast furnace slag cement. The applicability of this equation at temperatures lower than 0 °C had not been investigated hitherto.
