The complete plastome size of DC. 1813 was 159,893 bp in length and has a typical quadripartite structure. The 87,148-bp-long large single-copy and the 18,763-bp-long small single-copy regions were separated by a pair of inverted repeats (each 26,991 bp).

Article Synopsis
  • Extracting information from scanned images is vital, but traditional methods often fail due to inadequate use of image and text features.
  • The new model, ConBGAT, combines convolutional neural networks (CNNs), Transformers, and graph attention networks to improve extraction efficiency and accuracy.
  • Extensive testing shows that ConBGAT outperforms existing methods and sets a new standard for scanned image information extraction.

Objective: This study aimed to provide a method for determining the apical vertebra for pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO) in corrective surgery for patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with thoracolumbar kyphosis (TLK).

Methods: The medical records of AS patients with TLK who underwent PSO between May 2009 and August 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, and 235 patients were included in the study. Using the proposed method, choosing the vertebra based on Kim's apex (KA), which is defined as the farthest vertebra from a line drawn from the center of the T10 vertebral body to the midpoint of the S1 upper endplate, the authors analyzed 229 patients with apices at T12, L1, or L2 (excluding L3 because of the small sample size, n = 6).
