The increased use of electric arc furnace (EAF) steelmaking using up to 100% direct reduced iron (DRI) has prompted an interest in better control of phosphorus since iron ore and, consequently, DRI have higher phosphorus and silica compared to scrap.There is limited work reported on slag chemistries corresponding to that in the EAF when DRI is used
Premise plumbing bacterial communities in four European cities and their association with Legionella
IntroductionLegionella species are Gram negative, facultative, intracellular bacteria found in natural and engineered Cabinet water systems.Understanding the bacterial interactions underlying the success of Legionella in aquatic environments could be beneficial for control.Materials and methodsWe aimed to profile, by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequenci
Heteroresistance to beta-lactam antibiotics may often be a stage in the progression to antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotic resistance is a growing crisis that threatens many aspects of modern healthcare.Dogma is that resistance often develops due to acquisition of a resistance gene or mutation and that when this occurs, all the cells in the bacterial population are Cabinet phenotypically resistant.In contrast, heteroresistance (HR) is a form of antibiotic re
Role of suprascapular nerve block in chronic shoulder pain: A comparative study of 60 cases
Background: Suprascapular nerve block using anatomical landmark has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for chronic shoulder pain from Truck Model Kit rheumatoid and degenerative arthritis.This can be performed as an outpatient procedure that reduces pain and disability.Aims and Objectives: To access efficacy of suprascapular nerve bloc
