A RARE CASE OF CAPNOCYTOPHAGA CANIMORSUS MENINGITIS IN AN IMMUNOCOMPETENT PATIENT: A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME WITH A SHORT COURSE OF ANTIBIOTICS

A Rare Case of Capnocytophaga canimorsus Meningitis in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Successful Outcome with a Short Course of Antibiotics

Introduction: Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a Gram-negative bacterium found in the oral flora of dogs and cats, transmitted to humans through bites, licks, or scratches.Infections can lead to severe manifestations, including meningitis, particularly in immunocompromised individuals.Case Presentation: A 46-year-old immunocompetent man presented with

A multi-region assessment of population rates of cardiac catheterization and yield of high-risk coronary artery disease

Abstract read more Background There is variation in cardiac catheterization utilization across jurisdictions.Previous work from Alberta, copyright, showed no evidence of a plateau in the yield of high-risk disease at cardiac catheterization rates as high as 600 per 100,000 population suggesting that the optimal rate is higher.This work aims 1) To d

Flutter Optimization of Large Swept-Back Tri-Wing Flight Vehicles

The aerodynamic configuration of large swept-back tri-wings is generally adopted for hypersonic vehicles, but the structural stiffness of the ailerons is weak, which may lead to damage due to the flutter behavior.In the initial stage of structural design, studying the flutter characteristics of tri-wing flight vehicles is necessary and can provide
