The lethal effect of the conidia suspension of Trichoderma longibrachiatum against second stage juveniles of Heterodera avenae was observed under microscopic conditions and studied in vitro to preliminarily determine the potential and mechanism of the conidia suspension of T. longibrachiatum against H. avenae. Microscopic observation results showed that the conidia suspension of T. longibrachiatum adhered to or parasitized on the surface of second stage juveniles, even some parasitized nematodes were deformed at the initial stage. Later, the second stage juveniles were wrapped and the integuments were penetrated by a large number of hyphae germinated from the conidia suspension of T. longibrachiatum. Even the body of dead second stage juveniles was completely lysed. In vitro studies showed that different concentrations (1.5 x 10(5)-1.5 x 10(7) cfu x mL(-1)) of T. longibrachiatum (conidia suspension) had strong lethal and parasitic effects on the second stage juveniles of H. avenae, and significant differences existed among the treatments with different concentrations of T. longibrachiatum. In addition, the lethal and parasitic effects increased with increasing the T. longibrachiatum concentration. The mortality and corrected mortality of the second stage juveniles treated with the concentrations of 1.5 x 10(7) cfu x mL(-1) were 91.3% and 90.4% after 72 hours, and the second stage juveniles were parasitized by 88.7% after 14 days. Therefore, the conidia suspension of T. longibrachiatum had a great lethal effect on H. avenae, and the strain could be considered as a potential bio-control agent against H. avenae.

The care for lung transplantation patients is a complex, multidisciplinary coordination of physician and non-physician teams throughout the perioperative period. The diversity of etiologies of recipient end-stage lung disease further complicate care, as recipients often present with concomitant end-stage cardiac disease. Recently, the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has become the mechanical circulatory support of choice to provide cardiopulmonary stability throughout the perioperative period.

[Purpose] Rehabilitation can improve physical function and quality of life in patients with advanced cancer. However, relevant studies on advanced lung cancers are limited. Differences in physical function and symptoms based on the treatment phase should be considered.

We present a 22-year-old man with a well-established medical history who had been complaining of 4 days of frothy dark urine, bilateral lower limb swelling, and puffiness on his face. For a month before his presentation, he had many bilateral skin lesions on his lower limbs that were leaking pus.

While some aspects of motor symptoms can be managed by dopamine replacement therapies, others respond poorly. Recent advancements in machine learning-based technologies offer opportunities for unbiased segmentation and quantification of natural behavior in both healthy and diseased states.

Postoperative delirium (POD) represents a common neurological complication encountered predominantly among the elderly cohort undergoing surgical intervention for hip fractures. This phenomenon, particularly commonplace in geriatric populations with heightened preoperative risk profiles, pronounced comorbidities, and later stages of lifespan, poses complex clinical challenges. The impact of perioperative pharmacological interventions and anesthetic strategies on POD's emergence cannot be understated, as it may profoundly affect the length of hospital stays, rehabilitation milestones, and the overall mortality hazard.
