The main toxic compound found in false morel (Gyromitra esculenta) is acetaldehyde-N-methyl-N-formylhydrazone (gyromitrin). This paper describes a method of determining the total hydrazones content based on acid hydrolysis of gyromitrin and other related hydrazones in air-dried false morel followed by derivatisation of methylhydrazine with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride. The derivative, tris-pentafluorobenzoyl methylhydrazine (tris-PFB-MH) is analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The overall precision of the method is better than 10% (relative standard deviation) for 0.5 ng/microl methylhydrazine in solution. The minimum detectable concentration of methylhydrazine (tris-PFB-MH) by this method is estimated to be approximately 12 pg/microl, which is equal to 0.3 microg/g dry matter (DM) of false morel.

Phylogenomic insights into the taxonomy, ecology, and mating systems of the lorchel family Discinaceae (Pezizales, Ascomycota).

Lorchels, also known as false morels (Gyromitra sensu lato), are iconic due to their brain-shaped mushrooms and production of gyromitrin, a deadly mycotoxin. Molecular phylogenetic studies have hitherto failed to resolve deep-branching relationships in the lorchel family, Discinaceae, hampering our ability to settle longstanding taxonomic debates and to reconstruct the evolution of toxin production. We generated 75 draft genomes from cultures and ascomata (some collected as early as 1960), conducted phylogenomic analyses using 1542 single-copy orthologs to infer the early evolutionary history of lorchels, and identified genomic signatures of trophic mode and mating-type loci to better understand lorchel ecology and reproductive biology.

Large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) is a heterogeneous lymphoid malignancy in which MYC gene rearrangement (MYC-R) is associated with a poor prognosis, prompting the recommendation for more intensive treatment. MYC-R detection relies on fluorescence in situ hybridization method which is time consuming, expensive, and not available in all laboratories. Automating MYC-R detection on hematoxylin-and-eosin-stained whole slide images of LBCL would decrease the need for costly molecular testing and improve pathologists' productivity.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the capability of the Unruptured Intracranial Aneurysm Treatment Score (UIATS) to discriminate unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) at high risk for subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
Material And Method: During the period from January 2012 to December 2022, we included all consecutive adult patients admitted to our institution for an aSAH caused by the rupture of a saccular IA. The patient-related, aneurysm-related and treatment-related risk factors considered by UIATS were retrieved from medical records.

Pelvic fracture (PF) is a rare emergency, which led to pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) in 1.6% to 25% of cases. Urethral injury assessment requires a thorough analysis of the initial injury history and imaging that combine cystourethrography acutely, repeat urethral imaging as well as adjunctive use of MRI in the follow-up period.

Objective: Few studies have identified validity tests that are appropriate for use in individuals with dissociative identity disorder (DID). This study investigated whether the Morel Emotional Numbing Test (MENT) could distinguish between genuine and simulated DID.
Method: Thirty-five participants with DID diagnosed via a semistructured interview were compared to 88 participants taking an abnormal psychology course who were instructed to simulate DID.
