Background: Distal femoral fractures are not common among all fractures and the incidence rises with age.While knowall.blog this kind of fracture is usually caused by low-energy trauma in the elderly, there are many known fracture patterns.We encountered a new pattern of fracture in a middle-aged man.Case Presentation: A 56-year-old obese man prese
Microbial communities (microbiomes) are associated with almost all metazoans, including the honey bee Apis mellifera.Honey bees are social insects, maintaining complex hive systems composed of a variety of integral components including bees, comb, propolis, honey, and stored pollen.Given that the different components within hives can be physically
Upper Permian rocks of the former supercontinent Gondwana record climax late Paleozoic terrestrial vertebrate faunas that were dominated numerically and ecologically by therapsid synapsids.Older faunal elements of earlier Paleozoic faunas, such as captorhinid reptiles, are rare and scattered components of the first amniote faunas to inhabit high-la
Prestressing plays a pivotal role in ensuring the tightness and integrity of prestressed concrete containment in nuclear apac1/60/1/cw power plants.The prestress loss reduces the compressive stress in concrete resulting from the prestressing strands and increases the risk of containment leakage under severe accident conditions.Therefore, the accura
