Background And Purpose: The wearing-off (WO) phenomenon is the most common motor complication in advanced Parkinson's disease (PD), but its identification remains challenging. The 9- and 19-item Wearing-off Questionnaires (WOQ-9 and WOQ-19) are self-assessment tools for motor and nonmotor symptoms that are widely used for WO screening. We produced Korean versions of the WOQ-19 and WOQ-9 (K-WOQ-19 and K-WOQ-9) and investigated their validity and reliability.

Florpyrauxifen-benzyl, a new auxin herbicide, was recently introduced for management; however, the potential risk for the development of herbicide resistance in species has not been well-investigated. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the baseline sensitivity of species to florpyrauxifen-benzyl to estimate the risk of future resistance development.

A two-year field study was conducted to quantify the gene flow from glufosinate-ammonium resistant (GR) soybean (Glycinemax) to its wild relative, wild soybean (G. soja), and assess the potential weed risk of hybrids resulting from the gene flow during their entire life cycle under field conditions in Korea, where wild soybean is the natural inhabitant.

Reaction of with perfluoroarenes (Ar-F) results in C-F oxidative addition, yielding fluorophosphoranes ·[F][Ar]. The -fluoro substituent is exchanged for hydride by treatment with DIBAL-H, generating hydridophosphoranes ·[H][Ar].

Methods: This was a prospective randomized single institution analysis. The primary objective was to compare the changes in CA 125 level (changes between preoperation day 2 and postoperative day 7).
