TL;DR: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy presents in a manner similar to that of acute myocardial infarction, but ventricular systolic function usually returns to normal within a few weeks, and is suggested to be a newly recognized cause of sudden cardiac death in a 70-year-old woman.

TL;DR: It is suggested that anisakiasis in Japan is mainly caused by A. simplex sensu stricto because it penetrates the muscle of the fish at a higher rate than A. pegreffii.

TL;DR: In this paper, the status of national policies on wastewater treatment, wastewater reuse characteristics, and some wastewater reuse experiences are presented, with special reference to application for toilet-flushing in high-rise business buildings and stream restoration and flow augmentation.

TL;DR: In this article, daily measurements of water-soluble organics in 2-μm aerosols were conducted at Alert in the Canadian Arctic in winter to spring of 1992 to yield insight into photochemical production and loss of organics during long-range transport and ozone depletion events following polar sunrise.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for highly nonlinear shear stress-strain relations in plane strain compression of a fine sand, which has been used extensively in a large number of model tests by many researchers, is attempted taking into account the effects of many major factors; (1) void ratio, (2) confining pressure σ3, (3) the initial and maximum shear modulus Gmax as observed at strains less than about 0.001%, (4) anisotropic strength and deformation characteristics, strain softening associated with strain localization into a she
