简介:AbstractHepatitis C infection is not uncommon in pregnant women. Vertical transmission of the virus from mother to fetus is estimated at 4%-8%, however this transmission rate is significantly higher when the mother is co-infected with HIV. Intrauterine blood transfusions can be a necessary part of management for certain perinatal conditions like hemolytic disease of the fetus. Currently there is no published material available on the vertical transmission risk of HCV infection to the fetus as a result of this procedure, irrespective of HIV coinfection. We present a case of a pregnant woman co-infected with HCV and HIV that required an intrauterine blood transfusion during pregnancy. Vertical transmission of either infection to the child did not occur. This provides important evidence that vertical transmission of HCV and/or HIV does not necessarily occur with intrauterine blood transfusions.

简介:AbstractIn malaria-endemic regions, people often get exposed to various pathogens simultaneously, generating co-infection scenarios. In such scenarios, overlapping symptoms pose serious diagnostic challenges. The delayed diagnosis may lead to an increase in disease severity and catastrophic events. Recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has affected various areas globally, including malaria-endemic regions. The Plasmodium and SARS-CoV-2 co-infection and its effect on health are yet unexplored. We present a case report of a previously healthy, middle-aged individual from the malaria-endemic area who suffered SARS-CoV-2 and Plasmodium falciparum co-infection. The patient developed severe disease indications in a short time period. The patient showed neurological symptoms, altered hematological as well as liver-test parameters, and subsequent death in a narrow time span. We hereby discuss the various aspects of this case regarding treatment and hematological parameters. Further, we have put forward perspectives related to the mechanism behind severity and neurological symptoms in this fatal parasite-virus co-infection case. In malaria-endemic regions, due to overlapping symptoms, suspected COVID-19 patients should also be monitored for diagnosis of malaria without any delay. The SARS-CoV-2 and Plasmodium co-infection could increase the disease severity in a short time span. In treatment, dexamethasone may not help in severe cases having malaria as well as COVID-19 positive status and needs further exploration.
简介:摘要:W型火焰燃煤锅炉是一种针对无烟煤着火难、稳燃难和燃烬难的特性而设计的燃煤锅炉,虽具有良好的低负荷稳燃性能,但在实际运行中,因实际煤种和设计煤种存在较大偏差,原有氧量监测无法实现燃烧的精准调节,使得现役W型火焰燃煤锅炉普遍存在燃烧不稳定、灰渣可燃物含量偏高、炉内结渣、火焰偏烧、NOx排放过高等问题。本文提出了一种基于利用烟气中的一氧化碳成分含量进行燃烧优化的技术。依据烟气中的一氧化碳成分含量进行的燃烧调整的实例和研究,解决了一些如火焰中心偏斜和高过、高再管壁温度超温的问题,保证了锅炉燃烧的可靠性和提高了经济性。
简介:摘要:对电力工业主要的碳减排方式的减排成本、减排潜力及对化石能源消耗量的影响进行分析对比,并在此基础上对中国电力工业的碳减排战略进行了分析预测。研究结果表明各种减排方式综合应用是我国电力工业碳减排的必然趋势,其中节能、核电以及水电、风电和太阳能发电等可再生能源发电在2050 年的CO2 减排潜力均可达到10 亿吨以上,且可以节约大量化石能源,是应优先发展的重要减排技术。
