Fast production of microwave component prototypes by additive manufacturing and copper coating.

We present a novel method for efficient production of prototypes of microwave components by fused depositing modeling, also known as 3D plastic printing, and vapor deposition coating of a 1 µm copper layer. We demonstrate that the properties of the components follow the predicted performance for low power microwave propagation. The production method offers new opportunities for cheap and efficient production of mock-ups and prototypes of advanced-geometry components for tests with low-power microwaves.

[Acute pancreatitis caused by Ascaris lubricoides]. / Pancreatitis acuta forårsaget af Ascaris lumbricoides.

Ascaris lumbricoides as the etiology to acute pancreatitis has never been described in Denmark, whereas in India it is a common cause. In most cases symptoms lead to investigations with high diagnostic sensitivity end specificity. Treatment with antihelminthics and ERCP is efficient. A case of a 25 years-old pregnant woman with acute pancreatitis caused by Ascaris lumbricoides is reported.
