Flooding causes severe yield losses worldwide, making it urgent to enhance crop tolerance to this stress. Since natural flooding often involves physical flow, we hypothesized that the effects of submergence on plants could change when combined with physical flow. In this study, we analyzed the growth and transcriptome of exposed to submergence or flooding with physical flow.

We also measured infants' ability to recognize oneself in a mirror and with a photograph.

This study aimed to analyze the factors correlated with HTN remission and recurrence post-LSG in patients who have severe obesity, and to create a classification system to predict HTN remission and recurrence. Of the 102 patients who underwent LSG at Iwate Medical University Hospital between 2008 and 2020, 62 were enrolled in this study.

- Laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is challenging and requires skilled scopists, with this study being the first to evaluate their impact on surgical outcomes during the procedure.
- The study included patients who underwent LLR over five years and categorized scopists into experts (10+ surgeries) and beginners (<10 surgeries) to analyze the effects of their skills on perioperative outcomes.
- Results showed no baseline differences, but beginner scopists caused significantly longer interruptions during surgery due to errors, suggesting that their lack of experience can increase stress for surgeons and extend operation times.
Purpose: To compare the educational outcomes of remote instruction (RI) in impression-taking using smart glasses with those of face-to-face instruction (FI) and paper-based self-learning (SL) and analyze the educational effects, aiming to develop a remote clinical training strategy.
Methods: Participants were recruited from among the dental residents who were trained in the first-year clinical program at the university hospital in 2023. The participants were divided into three groups as the original skill level was equal, and the groups were assigned RI, FI, printed guidance, and SL.
