Iliopsoas phlegmon/abscess is uncommon, and individuals often present with nonspecific symptoms.Diagnosis is often delayed and almost always requires advanced imaging techniques such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging.We report a case of a 51-year-old woman who presented with right lower limb swelling and Grommets associated rash
Abstract Extraintestinal pathogenic E.coli (ExPEC) are facultative pathogens that are part of the normal human intestinal flora.The ExPEC group includes uropathogenic E.coli (UPEC), neonatal meningitis E.coli (NMEC), sepsis-associated E.coli (SEPEC), and avian pathogenic E.coli (APEC).Virulence factors (VF) related to the pathogenicity of ExPEC are
Multi-scale object detection is a basic challenge in computer vision.Although many advanced methods based on convolutional neural networks have succeeded in natural images, the progress in aerial images has been relatively slow mainly due to the considerably huge scale variations of objects and many densely distributed small objects.In this paper,
Abstract Background The rapid evolution of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) has been suggested to be driven by adaptations to postcopulatory sexual selection (e.g.sperm competition).However, we have recently shown that most SFPs evolve rapidly under relaxed selective pressures.Given the role of SFPs in competition for fertilization phenotypes, like th
