Surgical Management of a Large Chronic Prepatellar Bursitis: 2-Stage Technique by Sriskandarasa Senthilkumaran, Steven W. Hamilton

“…Treatment of a large chronic prepatellar bursitis can be difficult to manage surgically because of a high rate of local complications and a significant chance of recurrence. We present a 2-stage technique using negative pressure dressings which produced a good outcome with no recurrence at one year after surgery.…”

Phthisis Bulbi in a Retinitis Pigmentosa Patient after Argus II Implantation by Logan Vander Woude, Ramak Roohipour, Gibran Syed Khurshid

“…While the cause of phthisis in this Argus patient is not certain and possibly multifactorial, it is important to note that phthisis is a possible complication of an Argus II implant, as this patient had no other obvious insult or reason for the phthisical change.…”

Several Geological Issues of Schrödinger Basin Exposed by CE-2 CELMS Data by Z. G. Meng, H. H. Wang, Y. C. Zheng, Y. Z. Wang, H. Miyamoto, Z. C. Cai, J. S. Ping, Y. Z. Zhu

“…In this paper, the thermophysical features of Schrödinger basin were evaluated using the Chang’E-2 microwave sounder (CELMS) data. The results are as follows. (1) The geological units are reevaluated with the CELMS data and a new geological view was provided according to the brightness temperature and emissivity maps. (2) The surface topography plays an important role in the observed CELMS data. (3) The hot anomaly in the basin floor indicates a warm substrate. (4) The pyroxene-bearing anorthosite is probably an important cause for the cold anomaly over the lunar surface. …”

EFFECT OF REARRANGEMENTS OF HOMOEOLOGOUS GROUP 2 CHROMOSOMES OF BREAD WHEAT ON SPIKE MORPHOLOGY by O. B. Dobrovol’skaya, P. Martinek, I. G. Adonina, E. D. Badaeva, Yu. L. Orlov, E. A. Salina, L. I. Laikova

“…Evaluations of spike phenotypes of the line with the supernumerary spikelet trait and Chinese Spring deletion lines carrying deletions of chromosomes 2A, 2B, and 2D demonstrated that deletion of a group 2 chromosome might alter spike morphology, resulting in development of supernumerary spikelets at rachis nodes and changes in spike length and density.…”

Deep mantle earthquakes linked to CO2 degassing at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge by Zhiteng Yu, Satish C. Singh, Cédric Hamelin, Léa Grenet, Marcia Maia, Anne Briais, Lorenzo Petracchini, Daniele Brunelli

“…Syntheses of regional basaltic rock samples and their geochemical analyses indicate the presence of an abnormally high quantity of CO2 (~0.4–3.0 wt%) in the primary melts. As the degassing of a high concentration of dissolved CO2 produces volume change, we suggest that deep earthquakes in the mantle result from the degassing of CO2. …”
