We report on the vertical distributions of Saharan dust aerosols over the N.E.Mediterranean region, which were obtained during a typical dust outbreak on August 2000, by two lidar systems located in Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece, in the frame of the European EARLINET project.MODIS and ground sun spectrophotometric data, as well as air-mass backwa
Primary pyomyositis is a bacterial infection of the skeletal muscle commonly affecting children Ball - Glove Batting - Junior with Staphylococcus aureus most often isolated as a pathogen.However, pyomyositis caused by anaerobic bacteria is rare in adults.Here, we report a case of solitary Pyomyositis of the left rhomboideus muscle in an immunocompe
Wildfires are crucial to the ecosystem health, yet wildfires also pose a grave threat to human lives and the environment.Early detection remains challenging, especially in remote areas.Satellite data and autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) have become crucial tools for detecting and monitoring wildfires.Achieving proper identification is demanding du
