DNA sequencing in the classroom: complete genome sequence of two earwig (Dermaptera; Insecta) species.

Background: Despite representing the largest fraction of animal life, the number of insect species whose genome has been sequenced is barely in the hundreds. The order Dermaptera (the earwigs) suffers from a lack of genomic information despite its unique position as one of the basally derived insect groups and its importance in agroecosystems. As part of a national educational and outreach program in genomics, a plan was formulated to engage the participation of high school students in a genome sequencing project.

[A case report of 3 patients treated at home with ulcers in the lower extremities, illustrating the difficulty in differential diagnosis between ASO and pressure sores].

It is difficult to diagnostically differentiate pressure sores and cutaneous ulcers that occur at the tip of an appendicular. There are many ways to treat them based on the cause of the problems. However, an inadequate treatment had resulted in limb amputation cases.
