Late hematoma: a rare complication on breast implant

Late hematoma is a rare complication on the use of breast implants but on recent year’s case reports become more frequent, there's no data regarding the incidence, authors report multiple theory’s about etiology. In this case report we report a patient who presented a spontaneous late hematoma, patient arrived at doctor’s office complaining about gradual increase over the last 15 days of left breast, we treated the hematoma with guided-ultrasound drainage with total improvement of the symptoms, 1 week later the patient returns for the same symptoms that occurred the first time, an ultrasound-guided drainage is performed again and it is decided to schedule the surgical date in 1 week, as reported on previous cases we tried non-invasive management with ultrasound guided drainage on 2 attempts but patient hematoma recurred and we decided to perform drainage, capsulectomy and implant replacement, we follow the patient through the outpatient clinic 7 months later, and she has not presented a hematoma recurrence

Controlling Great-Tailed Grackle Damage to Citrus in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas

Great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) damage to citrus is a serious concern to producers in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Damage caused by grackles pecking fruit is initiated by breeding colonies in the spring on immature fruit and extends through the fall and winter on ripening fruit. The most significant damage occurs during the post-breeding period of July through September when neither the currently registered DRC-1339-treated dog food bait nor frightening strategies are effective. Observations by Texas Wildlife Services personnel suggested that watermelon was highly attractive to grackles during the period when dog food baits are poorly accepted. Two control strategies using watermelon to bait large cage traps and to formulate DRC-1339 baits were evaluated in cage and field trials during a 2-year research project. This paper reports on the development and preliminary evaluations of a unique trap design and the 0.1% DRC-1339-treated watermelon bait. Summer field trials in citrus groves were conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of trapping and DRC-1339 baiting. Results of preliminary evaluations clearly demonstrated the utility of these methods for controlling grackles. Although the effectiveness of these methods for controlling grackle damage in citrus groves was less conclusive, no measurable hazards to non-target wildlife were documented. With suggested modifications, both methods may provide a viable means to reduce grackle damage to citrus during a period when other alternative methods are ineffective

Reducing detrimental communication failure impacts in microgrids by using deep learning techniques

A Microgrid (MG), like any other smart and interoperable power system, requires device-to-device (D2D) communication structures in order to function effectively. This communication system, however, is not immune to intentional or unintentional failures. This paper discusses the effects of communication link failures on MG control and management and proposes solutions based on enhancing message content to mitigate their detritus impact. In order to achieve this goal, generation and consumption forecasting using deep learning (DL) methods at the next time steps is used. The architecture of an energy management system (EMS) and an energy storage system (ESS) that are able to operate in coordination is introduced and evaluated by simulation tests, which show promising results and illustrate the efficacy of the proposed methods. It is important to mention that, in this paper, three dissimilar topics namely MG control/management, DL-based forecasting, and D2D communication architectures are employed and this combination is proven to be capable of achieving the aforesaid objective
