Abstract Background Both tibial plateau fractures and extensor apparatus injuries are serious injuries to the knee joint that generally do not occur in the same patient.We report a rare case of open tibial plateau fracture combined with quadriceps tendon rupture and complete displacement of the patella into the tibial plateau fracture.Case presenta
Species delimitation of corals is one of the most challenging issues in coral reef ecology and conservation.Morphology can obscure evolutionary relationships, and molecular datasets are consistently revealing greater within-species diversity than currently understood.Most phylogenetic studies, however, have examined narrow geographic areas and phyl
This article aims at describing the semantic argumentative structure of the textual/discursive genre Letter of Declaration, one of the documents with which the executive secretary frequently deals.This investigation is based on the Argumention Theory in the Language proposed by Ducrot (1988,1987).We also used the studies about Discursive Modalizati
Immunological memory and tolerance represent major achievements and advantages of adaptive immunity.Organisms bearing adaptive immunity display prominent competitive advantages in the fight against infections.Memory immune cells are preserved for decades and are able to repel a second attack of an infectious agent.However, studies performed in the
Lupin species provide essential nutrients and bioactive compounds.Within pulses, they have one of the highest contents of proteins and fibers and are among the poorest in carbohydrates.The Mediterranean region is an important cradle area of the origin and domestication of cultivated white lupin (Lupinus albus L.).In this work, we present the charac
