 Case Reports in MedicineGastrointestinal Cryptococcosis Associated with Intestinal LymphangiectasiaIntestinal lymphangiectasia is a pathological dilation of enteric lymphatic vessels resulting in lymph leakage to the intestinal lumen. This chronic lymph leakage leads to a state of immunosuppression secondary to the loss of humoral and cellular components of the immune system and represents a potential risk factor for opportunistic infections. We report a case of protein-losing enteropathy in a seemingly...

 Latest ResultsRadiolytic degradation of chlorobenzene in aerated and deoxygenated aqueous solutionsAbstract Radiation-induced degradation of chlorobenzene was conducted at 0.1, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, and 1.0 mmol/dm3 concentrations in aerated environment and at 1.0 mmol/dm3 in oxygen-free and N2O-saturated solutions. The results demonstrated that the elimination of chloride is important when the solution is oxygen free, because the \( {\mathrm{e}}_{\mathrm{aq}}^{-} \) attacks at the ipso position of the...
