Case Presentation:
A 57-year-old homemaker and rural inhabitant of Central Greece (ex-smoker, 25 pack-years), was admitted to the ICU because of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure with diffuse bilateral alveolar infiltrates. Her medical history was unremarkable. She had been looking after her mother in a farmhouse with goats and a dog for the previous 6 months. She had not ingested any unpasteurized dairy products. She complained of fever and weight loss (8 kg) over the previous 2 months. She developed a nonproductive cough during the past 5 days and was referred to the hospital.

SN2 Reaction: Kinetics
In a chemical reaction, a relationship exists between the concentration of reactants and the rate at which the reaction proceeds. The study to measure this relationship is known as the kinetics of a chemical reaction. Kinetic studies are used to deduce the rate law of a chemical reaction, which provides information about the species involved during the transition state of the rate-determining step. Thus, kinetic studies help to derive the mechanism of a...
