A neurosyphilis case study: results of a five-year follow-up
The authors describe a case study of the long-term follow-up of a patient with symptomatic neurosyphilis. The article describes the patient management process on the basis of close interaction between physicians of allied specialties. Remote consequences of the specific therapy are described. The authors specify key problems of allied diagnostics related to similar cases
Manganese Clusterization in ZnS:Mn, Mg Synthesized by Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis
The ZnS:Mn, Mg powder is fabricated by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis with the
simultaneous introduction of Mn and Mg impurities. It is found that the simultaneous introduction of Mn
and Mg impurities leads to the nonuniform distribution of manganese forming regions with a lower and
higher Mn concentration. In the latter case, the manganese ions form paramagnetic clusters. At the same
time, numerous centers of self-activated luminescence form in the synthesized ZnS:Mn, Mg due to mechanical stress and lattice strain. Additional annealing leads to a more uniform Mn distribution in the formed ZnS:Mn, Mg phosphor, which is accompanied by an increase in the intensity of the manganese photoluminescence band and quenching of the self-activated luminescence band
