An Incidental Finding of Libman-Sacks Endocarditis ‎in a Young Female With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Who Presented With Pleuritic Chest Pain.

Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is a rare disease found incidentally in ‎postmortem autopsies, characterized by microscopic to large ‎verrucous vegetation on the cardiac valves, the most affected site is ‎the mitral valve followed by the aortic valve. Females of reproductive age ‎were observed as the most affected individuals as found in studies. ‎Most individuals with LSE are asymptomatic and ‎generally discovered lately when they presented with ‎thromboembolic disorders such as stroke, cognitive disabilities, and death.

A monopole antenna with cotton fabric material for wearable applications.

A monopole antenna operated at 2.45 GHz and embedded with artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) for wearable communication systems is investigated in this article. The proposed antenna is composed of a metalized loop radiator with a coplanar waveguide microstrip feedline which is affixed on a cotton fabric material substrate.

Defining the Relationship Between Phenotypic and Genotypic Resistance Profiles of Multidrug-Resistant Enterobacterial Clinical Isolates.

Unlabelled: Fluoroquinolones and aminoglycosides offer effective therapy for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing enterobacterial infections, but their usefulness is threatened by increasing resistant strains.

Objective: This study was conducted to demonstrate the phenotypic outcomes of the coexistence of genetic determinants mediating resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins and quinolones in enterobacterial isolates collected from patients with health-care-associated infections in Egypt.

Methods: ESBL phenotype was determined using double-disk synergy test (DDST).
