AI Article Synopsis

  • Twin-reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare condition in monochorionic twin pregnancies where one twin, known as the acardiac twin, relies on the healthy "pump" twin for blood flow.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for improving the survival chances of the healthy twin, as timely intervention can significantly affect outcomes.
  • This case report highlights a successful outcome in a TRAP sequence with a large acardiac twin, underlining the vital role of ultrasound imaging, careful monitoring, and appropriate timing for delivery.

Article Abstract

Twin-reversed arterial perfusion sequence is a rare complication of monochorionic twin pregnancy in which an anomalous acardiac fetus is hemodynamically dependent on its structurally normal "pump" twin. Early diagnosis is essential for improving perinatal prognosis for the normal twin. In this case report we present a case of TRAP sequence with immense acardiac twin with favorable outcome, emphasizing the importance of ultrasound imaging, follow-up and timing of delivery in this complicated pregnancy.

Sewerage blockages due to oil and grease deposition discharged from food premises remain a persistent issue globally. This study evaluates the degree of compliance of food premises in Seri Kembangan, Selangor, Malaysia with grease trap guideline, and investigates the factors affecting restaurants' compliance performance. Data were collected from 36 restaurants through a questionnaire-based interview consisting of questions about grease trap installation, operation, maintenance and waste disposal, followed by a walkthrough of the kitchen.

The (bladderworts) species are carnivorous plants that prey mainly on invertebrates using traps (bladders) of leaf origin. On the outer surfaces of the trap, there are dome-shaped glands (capitate trichomes). Each such trichome consists of a basal cell, a pedestal cell, and a terminal cell.

Mustelidae is the largest and most diverse family within the order Carnivora, encompasses 65 species and 22 genera, and is widely distributed around the world. Mustelids exhibit a multiplicity of coloration patterns, ranging from darker tones, such as black and brown, to lighter tones, such as pale yellow and white. Anomalous colorations in wild mustelids are occasionally reported, but these records are still poorly discussed in the scientific literature and are often subject to misidentification and/or incorrect terminology.

Abstract: Prerequisites for the goal of studying long-lived, magnetically confined, electron-positron pair plasmas in the laboratory include the injection of both species into the trap, long trapping times, and suitable diagnostic methods. Here we report recent progress on these tasks achieved in a simple dipole trap based on a supported permanent magnet. For the injection of electrons, both an drift technique (of a 2- A, 6-eV beam) and "edge injection" (from a filament emitting a few mA and biased to some tens of volts) have been demonstrated; the former is suitable for low-density beams with smaller spatial and velocity spreads, while the latter employs fluctuations arising from collective behavior.
