We present a de novo mitogenome assembly from a specimen of Rhinichthys atratulus, the Eastern Blacknose Dace, collected in the Connecticut River drainage. R. atratulus is a fish species widely distributed across Atlantic slope drainages from Nova Scotia, Canada to the Roanoke River Drainage, Virginia, United States.

Background: A postoperative surgical site infection (SSI) is a prevalent complication after loop ileostomy closure. There are few studies on the risk factors and the development of predictive models for postoperative SSIs. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a nomogram model capable of accurately predicting the occurrence of postoperative SSIs.

A critical factor in thrombus formation during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) is prothrombotic flow dynamics generated by the drainage cannula's design. This study aimed to create and evaluate a novel drainage cannula design which optimized blood flow dynamics to reduce thrombus formation. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to iteratively vary drainage cannula design parameters such as inner wall shape and side hole shape.

Background: Ureteral stents are one of the most used devices in Urology, allowing drainage of the upper urinary system, and can be used either in elective or emergency procedures. However, as a foreign body inside the urinary system, they are subject to encrustation. Encrustation is one of the burdens seen with double-J stents and, to date, there is no consensus about its best management.

Background: The selection of the surgical approach for chronic pancreatitis (CP) is determined by various factors including inflammatory location, presence of pancreatic duct dilatation, or possibility of cancer. Total pancreatectomy (TP), with or without islet cell autotransplantation, is considered for patients with refractory CP after the failure of other surgical treatments. Considering the increasing incidence of CP requiring surgical treatment, the number of cases in which TP is performed after previous surgical treatment is expected to increase.
