Experimental Study on Well Placement Optimization for Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage to Enhance Recovery of Thin Layer Oil Sand Reservoirs by Lei Tao, Xiao Yuan, Hao Cheng, Bingchao Li, Sen Huang, Na Zhang

“…However, when making use of the traditional SAGD technique (the production and injection well are located on the same axis with the horizontal well spacing of 0 m), the steam chamber development is usually insufficient because of the high longitudinal sweep rate of steam, which seriously influences the SAGD performance for developing thin layer oil sand reservoirs especially. It is extremely important to find an economical and practicable method to promote the steam chamber development in thin oil sand reservoirs in the process of SAGD production; optimizing well placement is a reliable method. …”

Unusual hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: case report of an early onset wild-type ATTR amyloidosis accompanied by a chromosomal duplication involving the MYH6 and MYH7 gene by Jassin Hamidi, Yvonne Hanel, Sven Dittmann, Wanda Maria Gerding, Huu Phuc Nguyen, Karin Klingel, Eric Schulze-Bahr

“…Consequently, two distinct and rare disease entities co-occurred in this patient, both ultimately leading to HCM.DiscussionTo date, no other case featuring wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (wtATTR) concurrently with a chromosomal duplication affecting both cardiac myosin heavy chain genes has been reported in the literature. This highlights the extreme rarity of this condition, making it challenging to ascertain the extent to which a presumably mutated hybrid myosin gene construct or the TTR amyloid fibrils contribute to stiffness, tissue fibrosis, and cardiac dysfunction. …”

Assessing the impact of sewage and wastewater on antimicrobial resistance in nearshore Antarctic biofilms and sediments by Melody S Clark, Benjamin H Gregson, Carla Greco, Harisree Paramel Nair, Marlon Clark, Claire Evans, Kevin A. Hughes, Kudzai Hwengwere, Marcus Leung, Lloyd S Peck, Caray A. Walker, William Chow

“…This was likely due to the inactivation and vulnerability of these bacteria to the extreme environmental conditions in Antarctica. Conclusions Our results suggest minimal effect of a strong feeder source (i.e. sewage effluent) on biofilm and sediment microbial community composition, with each site developing its unique niche community. …”
