The decision to replant a severed part is based on the numerous factors that influence survival of the part and the functional and aesthetic benefits gained from replanting. Not all amputees will benefit from or are candidates for replantation. The decision to proceed is therefore made by the surgeon who must consider the mechanism and extent of injury, the age of the patient, the presence of other medical or surgical conditions, the likely functional outcomes, and the patient's motivation to undergo a difficult procedure, which is followed by a lengthy recovery. This is a meta-analysis of the available studies that tracks the outcomes, based on 9 criteria, after the amputation of a total of 1803 digits in 1299 patients. By combining the data from numerous sources, a statistically significant picture emerges which may be used to educate patients and help guide the surgeon in the decision to replant.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate risk factors for digital necrosis (DN) following multiple digital replantation, highlighting its potential complications.
- Researchers analyzed patient data from Jan. 2017 to Jan. 2024, categorizing patients into two groups: those with DN (necrosis group) and those without (success group), using various statistical analyses including logistic regression.
- Findings indicated an 83.7% survival rate, identifying D-dimer and C-reactive protein (CRP) as independent risk factors for DN, leading to the creation of a nomogram prediction model for effective clinical use.

Flavescence dorée (FD) poses a significant threat to grapevine health, with the American grapevine leafhopper, , serving as the primary vector. FD is responsible for yield losses and high production costs due to mandatory insecticide treatments, infected plant uprooting, and replanting. Another potential FD vector is the mosaic leafhopper, , commonly found in agroecosystems.

The shift in crop growth in rural households towards non-grain crops is a focus of concern in China's grain security. Land allocation decisions by rural households to abandon farmland can affect crop growth decisions. Prior studies on the relationship between farmland abandonment and rural households' crop growing decisions have been insufficient.
