Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractSevere Pansinusitis Due to Raoultella OrnithinolyticaMitchell R. GoreRaoultella ornithinolytica is a gram-negative aerobic bacterium typically found in plants, soil and water. Reports of Raoultella ornithinolytica causing infections in humans, especially in the head and neck, are rare. Herein we report a case of a woman with severe septal deviation, chronic headaches and facial pain who was revealed to have Raoultella ornithinolytica pansinusitis incidentally noted during an endoscopic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 20 Dec 2017 · 7,990 accessesView PDFCite

Labs showed acute kidney injury and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 22 Oct 2015 · 7,751 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpatial Pattern of Natural Spread of Rice False Smut (Ustilaginoidea virens) Disease in FieldsBodrun Nessa, Moin U. Salam, A.H.M. Mahfuzul Haque et al.Pattern of disease spread provides improved knowledge on how the pathogen introduces itself and interacts with environment in fields and expresses as a disease. It is especially significant when epidemiology of a disease, such as Rice False Smut (RFSm), is unclearly understood. Not reported before, this study attempted an analysis of spatial pattern of natural spread of RFSm in nine … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2015 · 8,648 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Electrode Spacing and Inversion Techniques on the Efficacy of 2D Resistivity Imaging to Delineate Subsurface FeaturesAdiat Kola Abdul-Nafiu, Mohd. Nawawi Mohd. Nordin, Khiruddin Abdullah et al.In this study, the effect of the choice of appropriate electrode spacing and inversion algorithms on the efficacy of 2D imaging to map subsurface features was investigated. The target being investigated was the drainage concrete pipe buried at approximately 0.3 m into the subsurface. A profile perpendicular to the strike of the pipe was established. 2D resistivity data was separately … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2013 · 7,731 accessesView PDFCite
