Identification of a major QTL conferring resistance to derived from the winter wheat 'Hokkai 240' on chromosome 2AS.

Wheat yellow mosaic disease is a soilborne disease caused by (WYMV). Symptoms include yellow mosaic coloring of leaves, stunting, and growth inhibition. Here we conducted a detailed analysis of resistance to this virus in winter wheat 'Hokkai 240' by carrying out inoculation tests of WYMV and conducting field tests.

Histopathological Analysis of Esophageal Damage Caused by Coin-Shaped Lithium Batteries in Living Piglets.

Background: More than 3,000 cases of accidental ingestion of coin-shaped lithium batteries (CSLBs) have been reported in the United States. Battery ingestion can cause serious injury and even death. Prior reports have indicated that complications often occur two or more hours after ingestion.

Open surgical repair of an isolated aneurysm of the arc of Riolan with celiac artery occlusion and severe superior mesenteric artery stenosis.

The arc of Riolan (AoR), a marginal vessel in the left colon, interconnects the superior and inferior mesenteric arteries. A 65-year-old woman presented with an incidental aneurysmal lesion in the left upper abdomen found on ultrasound. Computed tomography revealed a 27-mm saccular aneurysm in the AoR with occlusion of the celiac artery and severe stenosis of the superior mesenteric artery.

A New Self-Expandable Metallic Stent with Low Axial Force and a High Axial Force Zero-Border Shows a Very Low Perforation Rate in Malignant Colorectal Obstruction: A Japanese Multicenter Prospective Study.

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of self-expandable metallic stents (SEMSs) for treating malignant colorectal obstructions through colorectal stenting. The mechanical properties of SEMSs are usually considered to affect clinical outcomes of patients with malignant colorectal obstructions. : This single-arm, prospective, multicenter study of SEMS with a lower axial force and high axial force zero-border included 200 patients with malignant colorectal obstruction.

Impact of osteoporosis on overall survival following endovascular repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of osteoporosis on overall survival following endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).

Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center cohort study on 172 patients who had undergone primary EVAR for AAA between 2016 and 2018. Bone mineral density (BMD) was assessed by measuring the Hounsfield units (HUs) of the 11th thoracic vertebra on preoperative computed tomography; a BMD value of <110 HU was considered osteoporosis.
