A 23-year-old Nigerian man with a giant (8.5 kg) benign intrathoracic fibromyxoma presented in respiratory distress with what looked clinically and radiologically like a massive left-sided pleural effusion. The correct preoperative diagnosis was suggested by an almost 'dry tap' together with a solid resistance to the aspiring needle at chest aspiration. Complete removal was successfully accompl...

The second generation of Very-High Speed Digital Subscriber Lines (VDSL2) represents a modern high-speed solution for present last-mile access networks. However, the transmission performance of VDSL2 lines is heavily dependent on the real conditions of symmetrical pairs and quads in local metallic lines and cables. One of the frequent elements in metallic access networks, which can negatively i...

Mineral ions in tap water react with fatty acids in soap, leading to the formation of insoluble precipitate (metallic soap) on skin during washing. We hypothesised that metallic soap might negatively alter skin conditions. Application of metallic soap onto the skin of NC/Tnd mice with allergic dermatitis further induced inflammation with elevation of plasma immunoglobulin E and proinflammatory ...

BACKGROUND Palmar hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweating on the palm, and among the various treatment modalities, tap water iontophoresis has been widely used. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the effect of a new "dry-type" iontophoretic device that was locally manufactured and did not use tap water to control sweating. METHODS Ten subjects with palmar hyper...

Understanding the behavior of network forensic devices is important to support prosecutions of malicious conduct on computer networks as well as legal remedies for false accusations of network management negligence. Individuals who seek to establish the credibility of network forensic data must speak competently about how the data was gathered and the potential for data loss. Unfortunately, man...

Dry weight biomass is an important parameter in algaculture. Direct measurement requires weighing milligram quantities of dried biomass, which is problematic for small volume systems containing few cells, such as laboratory studies and high throughput assays in microwell plates. In these cases indirect methods must be used, inducing measurement artefacts which vary in severity with the cell typ...
