Purpose: To report a case of macular hole (MH) closure at seven years after internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling.
Observations: A 66-year-old woman developed a MH in her left eye. Pars plana vitrectomy with ILM peeling and SF6 gas injection followed by face-down position for a week slightly improved the visual acuity from 20/400 to 20/200 but did not close the MH. During subsequent three years of follow-up without any treatment, the MH did not close. Seven years after the surgery, she visited us for cataract surgery in her right eye, and the optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination coincidentally found closure of the MH in her left eye. The visual acuity of her left eye remained 20/200 despite the MH closure.
Conclusions And Importance: ILM peeling might indirectly contribute to the closure of MH at seven years after the surgery although the mechanism is unclear. Sharing the serial OCT images until the MH closure would help us explore the mechanisms of ILM peeling to close MH and develop rational surgery technique manipulating ILM for MH.

Non-healing soft tissue defects pose challenges to treating physicians. Microsurgical reconstruction is a treatment option for achieving wound closure and limb salvage. These free tissue transfers are often challenging due to associated risk factors.

Kenny-Caffey syndrome 2 (KCS2) is a rare cause of hypoparathyroidism, inherited in an autosomal dominant mode, resulting from pathogenic variants of the gene, which is implicated in intracellular pathways regulating parathormone (PTH) synthesis and skeletal and parathyroid gland development. : The case of a boy is reported, presenting with the characteristic and newly identified clinical, biochemical, radiological, and genetic abnormalities of KCS2. : The proband had noticeable dysmorphic features, and the closure of the anterior fontanel was delayed until the age of 4 years.

Wheat () is grown on more arable acreage than any other food crop and has been well documented to produce allelochemicals. Wheat allelochemicals include numerous benzoxazinoids and their microbially transformed metabolites that actively suppress growth of weed seedlings. Production and subsequent release of these metabolites by commercial wheat cultivars, however, has not yet been targeted by focussed breeding programmes seeking to develop more competitive crops.

Small abandoned mining areas of Fe and Mn oxides located in the Portuguese sector of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (SW of Europe) have been converted into agrosilvopastoral systems with very few environmental management measures after their closure. Although at the landscape scale, no visible differences were observed between the former mining intervention areas and adjacent areas, it is essential to assess the state and environmental risk of the soil-plant system, especially in the herbaceous pastures grazed by domestic animals. This was carried out in the Ferragudo mining area, where an agrosilvopastoral system, composed of holm oak and dryland pasture, had been established after the closure of the mine at ≈45 years.

Background: Different left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) devices have been introduced into the clinical setting. A new dual-seal mechanism LACbes® occluder with isogenous barbs for LAAC has been designed to facilitate easier delivery and improve safety. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of the WATCHMAN with those of the LACbes® device for LAAC.
