Acquired factor V inhibitor in a patient receiving venous-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for Legionella pneumonia.

We report a rare complication of factor V deficiency in a patient having Legionella pneumonia. This patient also had other complications like severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute kidney injury, and septic shock that required venous-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support. This is the first reported case of acquired factor V deficiency in a patient receiving extracorporea...

Evaluation of Biodiesel Blending of Cocos Nucifera Oil Methyl Ester Produced from Alkaline-Catalyzed Transesterification Reaction

The prospect of using cocos nucifera Oil for production of biodiesel via transesterification reaction was investigated. The use of ethanol for the transesterification reaction instead of methanol was also evaluated. Test quantities of biodiesel were produced using 100 g, 20.0% and 0.8% of </span...

Gene cassette arrays, antibiotic susceptibilities, and clinical characteristics of Acinetobacter baumannii bacteremic strains harboring class 1 integrons.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acinetobacter baumannii isolates containing class 1 integrons belong to different clones, but only a few strains are successful at causing infection. This study was conducted to compare the characteristics among these clones with different epidemicity. METHODS Eighty eight bacteremic isolates of A. baumannii were collected in a medical center in Taiwan during a 3-year p...
