Thermal physiology of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) is a critical aspect of field performance and fitness. Thermal limits for survival and activity, and the ability of these limits to adjust (i.e., show phenotypic flexibility) depending on recent thermal history, are generally poorly established, especially for non-model nematode species. Here we report the acute thermal limits for survival,...

A 20-year-old male judo teacher presented with acute left flank pain and gross hematuria. At the time of this presentation, the patient was hemodynamically stable. He had no clear history of blunt abdominal trauma, or preexisting conditions or previous surgery. Multiphase abdominal computed tomography confirmed an active extravasation from a segmental renal artery during the arterial phase (Fig...

As the perceived importance of environmental sustainability has grown, there has been increasing discussion on both reducing the environmental impact of IT and on increasing the role IS plays as a potential source of environmental solutions. An understanding of the factors that influence organizations towards green IT and IS may assist in both predicting future behavior and creating mechanisms ...

Case A: 42 year old female patient without asthma or polyposis nasi presented with palmar and plantar pruritus, urticaria, facial angioedema and dyspnea on two occasions: 2 and 4 hours after the intake of two structurally independent NSAIDs (diclofenac 75 mg, mefenamic acid 500 mg). In both instances, pantoprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), was prescribed for gastric protection. A non-alle...

This commentary highlights the discrepancy between traditional pediatric norms of children’s behavior and evolved abilities exhibited by children in modern societies, accentuated technological advancements.
