    The response of grounding electrodes to lightning currents

    No full text
    Lightning is a frequent cause of failures and damages in power systems. In most situations, the severity of lightning effects is influenced by the response of the system grounding electrodes to lightning currents that is typically quite different from that presented to currents at power-system frequencies

    Frequency of Panton-Valentine Leukocidin-Producing Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus Strains in Patients with Complicated Skin and Soft Tissue Infection in Bronx, New York ▿

    lukF-PV was present in 36% of skin and soft tissue infection (SSTI)-derived methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) strains and comprised six distinct clones, which contained fewer enterotoxin genes than strains without lukF-PV. Clinical presentations and outcomes of lukF-PV+ methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and MSSA SSTIs were comparable. In multivariable analysis, the presence of lukF-PV remained a significant predictor for incision and drainage among MSSA strains
