- Embryo excision is a cool way to help seeds from sunflowers and similar plants grow better, especially for rare plants with not many seeds available.

Hansen's disease (leprosy) is a rare infectious disease with less than 300 recorded cases in the United States every year. In this report, we present an 80-year-old White male with a three-year history of slowly progressive, pink, well-demarcated, and annular patches, plaques, and papules that started on his thighs and spread to his abdomen, chest, back, and upper extremities. After sequence identification on biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of leprosy, the patient was treated with an alternative regimen of monthly moxifloxacin, rifabutin, and minocycline.
