Article Synopsis
- The Erysimum latent virus (ELV) is a plant virus first discovered in wild and cultivated brassicas in Germany, distinct from the turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV).
- ELV and TYMV were among the first plant viruses to have their genomes sequenced, with ELV identified as the likely ancestor of other tymoviruses.
- The study includes the near-complete genomic sequence of an isolate from Czechia, showing it is closely related to the German isolates of ELV and belonging to the same virus species.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a possible cause of chronic cough is known for decades. However, more than 75% of patients with extraoesophageal symptoms do not suffer from typical symptoms of GERD like pyrosis and regurgitations and have negative upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. For such a condition term laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) was introduced and is used for more than two decades.

Complete sequences of GFkV (grapevine fleck virus) and GRGV (grapevine red globe virus) from the genus and GRVFV (grapevine rupestris vein feathering virus) and GSyV-1 (grapevine Syrah virus 1) from the genus were obtained using high-throughput sequencing of small RNAs and total RNAs. Mixed infections with these viruses were observed, as well as several variants of these viruses in the same plant.

According to the European Laryngological Society classification, these loops are malignant vascular changes. This contradiction has high clinical importance; therefore, clarification of the clinical significance of type IV vascularization according to the Ni classification is needed.

Methods: A retrospective CT scan analysis was performed on 20 patients who underwent endoscopic pituitary surgery at the University Hospital in Ostrava. Virtual insertion of the straight instrument into the sphenoid cavity was simulated using a CT scan.
