A 65-year-old Japanese woman with nocardial mycetoma which developed five years after a compound bone fracture of the left foot due to a traffic accident was reported. During this accident, two small pieces of gravel had entered her foot. Nocardia asteroides, which had been attached to the gravel, was probably inserted 5 years previously during the trauma. The lesion did not respond to oral minocycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and was finally removed surgically; she has been free from recurrences for one year, of follow-up.

Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery for Lithiasis Using Suctioning Devices: A Shift in Paradigm?

New suction endoscopes, ureteral access sheaths (UAS) and catheters aim to improve the efficacy of flexible ureteroscopy and optimize its safety. Suction UAS with non-flexible tips have shown promising results, especially in maintaining low intrarenal pressure, but also in removing small debris and reducing the "snow globe" effect. In addition, suctioning UAS with a flexible tip offers the advantage of being able to be navigated through the pyelocaliceal system to where the laser lithotripsy is performed.

Urban stormwater conveys dissolved pollutants, micropollutants, particulate matter, natural debris, and anthropogenic macrodebris to receiving waters. Though it is widely recognized that anthropogenic macrodebris mobilized by stormwater contributes to global pollution management issues (e.g.

Using mineral and agro-industrial wastes associated with the cement matrix can add value and guarantee suitable properties for reinforced composites. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of the incorporation of quartzite and coconut fibers on masonry blocks' physical, mechanical, and thermal properties. Quartzite was evaluated replacing 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the sand, whereas the coconut fibers were added in a proportion of 2.

This protocol describes a bacterial three-hybrid (B3H) assay, an in vivo system that reports on RNA-protein interactions and can be implemented in both forward and reverse genetic experiments. The B3H assay connects the strength of an RNA-protein interaction inside of living Escherichia coli cells to the transcription of a reporter gene (here, lacZ). We present protocols to (1) insert RNA and protein sequences into appropriate vectors for B3H experiments, (2) detect putative RNA-protein interactions with both qualitative and quantitative readouts and (3) carry out forward genetic mutagenesis screens.
