Introduction.Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked muscle disorder caused by the dystrophin absence.This leads to the death of muscle cells and cardiomyocytes and their subsequent replacement with adipose and fibrous tissue.Clinically, this disease manifests itself as progressive muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy.We report a case of a young p
Acute aortic occlusion is a rare life-threatening event.We present a case of a heavy smoking, 54-year-old man who was admitted in the emergency room with sudden MARGHERITA PIZZA paraplegia, associated to severe lower back and lower limbs pain.A neurologic examination showed paralysis of the lower limbs and cold lower extremities.The pedal and femor
Casing damage is a common problem encountered during oil and gas field development due to the complex stress state of the casing.Despite the large number of studies focusing on this problem, the mechanism of non-uniform in-situ stress-induced casing damage in a low-permeability reservoir is still unclear.In this study, casing damage due to non-unif
Commercial refrigeration systems currently utilize refrigerants with global warming potential (GWP) values ranging from 1250 to 4000.The advent of low GWP alternatives (GWP 150) is expected to significantly curtail direct emissions from this segment and greatly influence the ongoing electrification and decarbonization efforts.Most of the low GWP al
This article presents a modular substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna array based on H-plane aperture structures for Ka-band.The unitary antenna is based on a SIW aperture antenna with an improved H-plane radiation pattern by means of the implementation of metallic vias in the wave propagation along the H-plane antenna.The inner metallic via
