Nonmedical prescription stimulant use (NPSU) is an ongoing public health crisis in the United States.There exists, however, a dearth of research investigating specific childhood risk factors that may contribute to this illicit use.Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may be a significant risk factor to address in here the prevention and treatment o
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Infection in Trauma and Orthopedic Patients: Clinical Experience and Review
Background.Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (S.maltophilia) is a gram-negative non-fermenting bacillus and is a rare pathogen of orthopedic infection.Due to the relatively low virulence of S.maltophilia, many clinicians are still faced with the question of whether this bacterial species is simply a colonizing agent or the true cause of infection.Aim of
In Vitro Leukoagglutination: A Rare Hematological Cause of Spurious Leukopenia
weboost splitter Leukopenia secondary to leukocytic agglutination is caused by an ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) which may appear in both benign and malignant states.Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid induced platelets clumping in peripheral blood has been well established, but invitro leukocytic aggregation is very rarest hematological
Secure channel estimation model for cognitive radio network physical layer security using two-level shared key authentication
Abstract Physical Layer Security (PLS) in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) improves the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the external communication between the devices/ users.The security models for sensing and beamforming reduce the impact of adversaries such as eavesdroppers in the signal processing layer.To such an extent, this arti
Extinction Chains Reveal Intermediate Phases Between the Safety and Collapse in Mutualistic Ecosystems
Ecosystems are undergoing unprecedented persistent deterioration due to unsustainable anthropogenic human activities, such as overfishing and deforestation, and the effects of such damage on ecological stability are uncertain.Despite recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies on regime shifts and tipping points, theoretical tools for u
