An editorial in a previous issue of this journal falsely claims that the US government's efforts to reduce road fatalities are not based on science. It says that, as a result, the United States has fallen behind other countries in road death prevention. A large body of research and evaluation informed federal and state safety programs from the outset. Evans's comparisons of death trends among countries without adjustment for changes in relevant risk factors or specification of the injury reduction policies among the countries tell us nothing about the causes of the declines or the effects of specific ameliorative efforts.

Leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs) have emerged as key regulators of herbivory perception and subsequent defense initiation. While their functions in grass plants have been gradually elucidated, the roles of herbivory-related LRR-RLKs in woody plants remain largely unknown. In this study, we mined the genomic and transcriptomic data of tea plants () and identified a total of 307 CsLRR-RLK members.

Introduction: Vasectomy is a widely used, safe, effective method of permanent contraception and contributes to healthy sexuality.
Aims: We have conducted a 3-step observational clinical study to develop a vasectomy regret risk score and guide patients and clinicians when discussing a vasectomy.
Methods: A 3-step approach has been followed.
Reduce electrical overload via threaded Chinese acupuncture in nerve electrical therapy.

Bioelectrical stimulation is a powerful technique used to promote tissue regeneration, but it can be hindered by an "electrical overload" phenomenon in the core region of stimulation. We develop a threaded microneedle electrode system that protects against "electrical overload" by delivering medicinal hydrogel microspheres into the core regions. The threaded needle body is coated with polydopamine and chitosan to enhance the adhesion of microspheres, which are loaded into the threaded grooves, allowing for their stereoscopic release in the core regions.

Purpose: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is currently one of the most curative treatments for early esophageal cancer. We conducted a retrospective case analysis to identify the characteristics of early esophageal cancer that indicate esophageal stenosis prevention measures. Our aim was to provide a reference for clinical decision-making.

Waardenburg syndrome type 2 (WS2) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing loss, blue iris, and abnormal pigmentation of the hair and skin. WS2 is genetically heterogeneous, often resulting from pathogenic mutations in SOX10 gene. We identified a novel heterozygous frameshift mutation in SOX10 (NM_006941.
