TO THE EDITOR—We read the case report by Solari et al [1] with great interest because the authors presented a fatal case of relapsing Clostridium difficile infection treated with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) using a gastrojejunostomy tube. This tube was placed through an already existing gastric feeding tube, and the patient died 4 days later due to septic shock; Pseudomonas aeruginos...

Equations modeling compaction in a mixture of granular high explosive and interstitial gas are solved numerically. Both phases are modeled as compressible, viscous fluids. This overcomes well known difficulties associated with computing shock jumps in the inviscid version of the equations, which cannot be posed in a fully conservative form. One-dimensional shock tube and piston-driven compactio...
