Management of ulnar collateral ligament injury in baseball athletes: An online survey in Japanese surgeons.

Background: The management of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries widely varies among surgeons. Although various treatment options have been proposed including surgical and conservative treatments, no golden standard treatment strategy has been established of yet. The American survey reported an overall experienced and well-trained cohort of surgeons often reached consensus opinions on how to approach UCL injury.

Correction to: The coding and noncoding transcriptome of Neurospora crassa.

After publication of the original article [1], the authors noted that Additional files 6, 8 and 9 and their legends were incorrect.

The coding and noncoding transcriptome of Neurospora crassa.

Background: Long non protein coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in many different organisms and cell types. Emerging examples emphasize the biological importance of these RNA species but their regulation and functions remain poorly understood. In the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa, the annotation and characterization of lncRNAs is incomplete.

Infective Endocarditis Complicated by Intraventricular Abscesses, Pericarditis, and Mycotic Aneurysm Due to an Emerging Strain of Serotype VI Streptococcus agalactiae.

An increasing number of invasive infections due to Streptococcus agalactiae in non-pregnant adults have been reported. We report a case of infective endocarditis complicated by intraventricular abscesses, pericarditis, and mycotic aneurysm due to S. agalactiae belonging to ST681 with a capsular serotype VI in a woman with diabetes.
