Effect of Automechanic Works on Lead and Iron Content in Two Mechanic Villages in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria by OS Edori, ES Edori

“…Forty soil samples were collected from two mechanic workshops (villages), Mile 2, Anyama and Mile 3, zone C and a control, UST to examine the pH, conductivity and the concentrations of lead (Pb) and iron (Fe). The pH at the top soil samples (0-15cm) were formed to be higher than those of the lower soil samples (15-30cm). pH values ranged from 7.3- 8.4. …”

Persistent Cutibacterium (Formerly Propionibacterium) acnes Bacteremia and Refractory Endocarditis in a Patient with Retained Implantable Pacemaker Leads by M. Freedman, J. O. Aflatooni, R. Foster, P. G. Haggerty, C. J. Derber

“…Patients with recurrent bacteremia in the setting of implantable devices warrant further studies to evaluate for an associated valvular or lead endocarditis. The patient in this report demonstrates how cardiac device-related endocarditis secondary to C. acnes can be overlooked due to the indolent nature of this pathogen. …”
