CLOSED-FORM DYNAMIC STABILITY CRITERION FOR ELASTIC-PLASTIC STRUCTURES UNDER NEAR-FAULT GROUND MOTIONS


Ionic imbalance and lack of effect of adjuvant treatment with methylene blue in the hamster model of leptospirosis

Leptospirosis in humans usually involves hypokalaemia and hypomagnesaemia and the putative mechanism underlying such ionic imbalances may be related to nitric oxide (NO) production.We previously demonstrated the Outdoor Benches correlation between serum levels of NO and the severity of renal disease in patients with severe leptospirosis.Methylene b
