Open source technology of NFV by Feng WANG, Huiling ZHAO

“…NFV is a core component of the operator network reconstitution,and open source is an important driving force to accelerate the development of NFV.How to use open source technology to promote the application of NFV in telecom network is a major issue faced by operators.NFV open source technology system was surveyed comprehensively according to the NFV reference framework proposed by ETSI,and the background,core technology and development trend of mainstream open source projects of NFVI,VNF and MANO was analyzed.Finally,some critical problems (such as technical bottlenecks,decoupling obstacles and operational difficulties) and corresponding solutions were presented to help operators to make better use of open source technology of NFV.…”

Erysipelothrix Rhusiopathiae Endocarditis and Presumed Osteomyelitis by Marc Romney, Stephen Cheung, Valentina Montessori

“…Because vancomycin is often used empirically for the treatment of endocarditis, rapid differentiation of E rhusiopathiae> from other Gram-positive organisms is critical. In patients with endocarditis caused by a Gram-positive bacillus and epidemiological risk factors for E rhusiopathiae exposure, empirical treatment with vancomycin should be reconsidered.…”
