We present the case of a 25-year-old male patient with a memo board history of gunshot wound in the chest 3 years before, who developed symptoms in the arm for 1 year.The patient was assessed by the outpatient clinic, presenting left subclavian murmur, and development of venous network.Three-dimensional rotational angiography revealed 7 Piece Queen
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum and nephrocalcinosis: Incidental finding or an infrequent manifestation?
Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is an inherited disorder characterized by generalized fragmentation and progressive calcification of elastic tissue.We report two sporadic cases of PXE, both of whom presented with asymptomatic yellowish papules over the Incense Sticks flexural sites for cosmetic reasons.Histopathological findings on hematoxylin and e
Seismic Damage Quantification of RC Short Columns from Crack Images Using the Enhanced U-Net
It is of great importance to quantify the seismic damage of reinforced concrete (RC) short columns since they often experience severe damage due to likely excessive shear deformation.In this paper, the seismic damage quantification method of RC short columns under earthquakes is proposed based on crack images and the enhanced U-Net.To this end, RC
Low Temperature Microwave Regeneration of Catalytic Diesel Particulate Filter
Diesel particulate filter (DPF), consisting in alternately Incense Sticks plugged parallel square channels with porous walls that trap the soot particles, must be periodically regenerated.In this work, a new procedure for the preparation of microwave susceptible catalytic DPFs based on a preliminary controlled chemical erosion of the porous structu
