We describe a modified aortic valve-sparing partial root replacement (AVSPRR) technique for acute type A aortic dissection with an intimal tear (IT) in the aortic sinus. This procedure consists of selective replacement of the sinus containing an IT with a rectangular patch. If an IT exists in any coronary sinus, the coronary button was reimplanted to the neo-sinus and an external wrapping of the noncoronary sinus was added. Modified AVSPRR may be considered a feasible short-term outcome, and may be considered as an option in selected patients.

Enhancing crops productivity to ensure food security is one of the major challenges encountering agriculture today. A promising solution is the use of biostimulants, which encompass molecules that enhance plant fitness, growth, and productivity. The regulatory metabolite zaxinone and its mimics (MiZax3 and MiZax5) showed promising results in improving the growth and yield of several crops.

Visible and Near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (VNIR-HSI) combined with machine learning has shown its effectiveness in various detection applications. Specifically, the quality of cigar tobacco leaves undergoes subtle changes due to environmental differences during the air-curing phase. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of deep learning methods in overcoming data limitations to develop a VNIR-HSI prediction model for the quality of cigar tobacco leaves at different air-curing levels.

Naturally aged microplastics (NAMPs) are commonly found in farmland soils contaminated with heavy metals (HMs), such as arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd); yet their combined effects on soil-plant ecosystems remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the toxic effects of NAMPs and As-Cd on lettuce, considering the influence of earthworm activity, and examined changes in As-Cd bioavailability in the rhizosphere. Four experimental systems were established: soil-only, soil-lettuce, soil-earthworms, and soil-lettuce-earthworms systems, with four NAMPs concentrations (0, 0.

Background: INTER- and INTRAmuscular fat (IMF) is elevated in high metabolic states and can promote inflammation. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) excels in depicting IMF, the lack of reproducible tools prevents the ability to measure change and track intervention success.
Methods: We detail an open-source fully-automated iterative threshold-seeking algorithm (ITSA) for segmenting IMF from T1-weighted MRI of the calf and thigh within three cohorts (CaMos Hamilton (N = 54), AMBERS (N = 280), OAI (N = 105)) selecting adults 45-85 years of age.

The Grotte du Bison, in Arcy-sur-Cure (Yonne, France), yielded a large assemblage of 49 Neandertal remains from late Mousterian layers, offering critical insights for the study of Middle to Upper Paleolithic populations of Western Europe. Previous studies described the external morphology of 13 isolated teeth and a partial maxilla. Building on this previous work, the current study provides further descriptions and analyses of the remains, including one postcranial fragment, six cranial fragments, two maxillary fragments, and 40 isolated teeth.
