An Atypical Case of a Common Pregnancy Issue: Appendicitis-Like Hyperemesis Gravidarum by Janice Chung, Ryan P. Berryman

“…While her clinical picture and ultrasound findings were only mildly consistent with appendicitis, the only therapy that provided pain relief was empiric antibiotic treatment that was prescribed due to a mildly elevated procalcitonin of 0.61. Thereby, the detection and treatment of concurrent organic causes is important as it may provide significant symptomatic relief in cases of concurrent HG.…”

Mechanisms of plastic instability and fracture of compressed and tensile tested Mg-Li alloys investigated using the acoustic emission method by A. Pawełek, A. Piątkowski, W. Wajda, W. Skuza, A. Tarasek, W. Ozgowicz, B Grzegorczyk, Z. Ranachowski, S. Kúdela, S. Kúdela, Jr.

“…The results of the investigation of both mechanical and acoustic emission (AE) behaviors of Mg4Li5Al alloy subjected to compression and tensile tests at room temperature are compared with the test results obtained using the same alloy and loading scheme but at elevated temperatures. The main aim of the paper is to investigate, to determine and to explain the possible influence of factors related with enhanced internal stresses such as: segregation of precipitates along grain boundaries or solute atoms along dislocations (Cottrell atmospheres) or dislocation pile-ups at grain boundaries which create very high stress concentration leading to fracture. …”
