UNIDENTIFIED BRIGHT OBJECTS OF SPLEEN ON ARTERIAL PHASE CT: MIMICKER OF SPLENIC VASCULAR INJURY IN BLUNT ABDOMINAL TRAUMA

Unidentified bright objects of spleen on arterial phase CT: mimicker of splenic vascular injury in blunt abdominal trauma

PURPOSEWe have described unidentified bright objects of spleen (UBOS), a hitherto undescribed entity, as hyperdense areas on arterial phase (AP) computed tomography (CT) seen in relation to splenic lacerations and are isodense to the normal parenchyma on portal venous phase with no correlate on digital subtraction angiography (DSA).UBOS mimic splen

Survival strategies of sharptooth catfish Clarias gariepinus in desiccating pans in the northern Kruger National Park

Observations in drying out pans showed that small (26-37 cm) sharptooth catfish (Clarias gariepinus) can hide at the bottom of small pools here filled with sticky mud whereas larger fish stay afloat at the surface in larger pools with sloppy mud, where they easily become prey or succumb to heat stress.The inability of larger fish to keep down in th

Revisiting the taxonomy of Korean Ischnochiton species (Polyplacophora, Ischnochitonidae) based on a combined analysis of morphological and molecular data

Chiton species belonging to the genus Ischnochiton J.E.Gray, 1847 are commonly found in intertidal rocky shores worldwide, with the exception of the northern Atlantic and Arctic oceans.Ischnochiton species are characterised by imbricate girdle scales that are uniform in size, rounded, sculpted with striae or occasionally smooth.However, their speci

Wave generation in an OWC system for wave energy conversion

This paper aims to present an overview on the wavemakers used to generate waves inside a numerical wave tank taking into consideration the biphasic air-water aspect of the incident wave.Wave markers are used to iphone 13 price ohio simulate the flow dynamic behaviour in the Oscillating Water Column (OWC) for wave energy conversion.Three kinds of th
