Effect of Pollution Level on Size Distributions and Mixing State of Ambient Black Carbon Particles in an Urban Area during Wintertime by Kangning Li, XiaoFei Wang, Xiaohui Lu, Hong Chen, Xin Yang

“…Interestingly, the BC particles in the clean air masses contained V more frequently and generated intense mass spectrum signals for Ca+, suggesting that these particles probably arose from heavy machinery emissions near ports. Our real-time single particle data indicates that the sources of BC aerosol can be easily identified by measuring the size distribution and mixing state of the particles.…”

Diffuse Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis: Surgical Repair in Adulthood by Giovanni Ferlan, Claudio De Pasquale, Concetta Losito, Annalisa Fiorella, Nicola Marraudino, Francesco Tunzi

“…We present the case of a 54-year-old woman in which a diffuse congenital supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) was associated with a severe aortic valve incompetence and heavy calcification of the aortic annulus. Repair consisted in resection of the ascending aorta, patch augmentation of the hypoplastic aortic root and annulus, placement of a 20 mm Dacron tubular graft (Vascutek, Renfrewshire, UK) and aortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis (Sorin, Turin, Italy). …”
