Long-distance migrants must optimise their timing of breeding to capitalise on resources at both breeding and over-wintering sites. In species with protracted breeding seasons, departing earlier on migration might be advantageous, but is constrained by the ongoing breeding attempt. Here we investigated how breeding timing affects migratory strategies in the Manx shearwater (Puffinus puffinus), a trans-hemispheric migratory seabird with large temporal variation in the onset of breeding.

Background And Objective: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) with inflammatory risk are important contributors to cardiovascular disease, but no definitive information is available in large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke. This study aims to investigate the association between NETs with related inflammatory biomarkers and prognosis of LAA stroke in the Chinese population.
Methods: A prospective study involving 145 LAA stroke cases and 121 healthy controls was conducted.

Objectives: Compare the differences in perioperative clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients of different genders who have undergone VATS lobectomy, and explore the impact of these differences on the short-term prognosis of patients.
Methods: A total of 338 consecutive patients with lung cancer who underwent VATS lobectomy in our hospital from August 2021 to August 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, they were divided into male group and female group. The perioperative characteristics and short-term prognosis of different groups were compared.

Since contact laser vaporization of the prostate (CVP) was approved by the Japanese insurance system in 2016, the use of a 980 nm diode laser system for CVP has become widespread for treating benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients. Our institute has been implementing CVP for BPH since 2018, treating a total of 93 patients, including 28 with a risk of hemorrhage. This study examines the safety and efficacy of CVP treatment for BPH patients with a hemorrhagic risk.
