In this review, we describe the evolution of modern ablative surgery for intractable psychiatric disease, from the original image-guided cingulotomy procedure described by Ballantine, to the current bilateral anterior cingulotomy using MRI-guided stereotactic techniques. Extension of the single lesion bilateral cingulotomy to the extended bilateral cingulotomy and subsequent staged limbic leucotomy (LL) is also discussed. Other ablative surgeries for psychiatric disease including subcaudate tractotomy (SCT) and anterior capsulotomy (AC) using modern MRI-guided ablative techniques, as well as radiosurgical capsulotomy, are described. Finally, the potential emerging role of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) for treating conditions such as major depressive disorder (MDD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is discussed.

Evolutionary perspectives have yielded profound insights in health and medical sciences. A fundamental recognition is that modern diet and lifestyle practices are mismatched with the human physiological constitution, shaped over eons in response to environmental selective pressures. This Darwinian angle can help illuminate and resolve issues in nutrition, including the contentious issue of fat consumption.

Background: Silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is a basal fish species with sexual monomorphism, while its sex determination mechanism has been poorly understood, posing a significant challenge to its captive breeding efforts.
Results: We constructed two high-quality chromosome-level genome assemblies for both female and male silver arowana, with scaffold N50 values over 10 Mb. Combining re-sequencing data of 109 individuals, we identified a female-specific region, which was localized in a non-coding region, i.

Late Miocene climate evolution provides an opportunity to assess Earth's climate sensitivity to carbon cycle perturbation under warmer-than-modern conditions. Despite its relevance for understanding the climate system, the driving mechanisms underlying profound climate and carbon cycle changes - including the enigmatic Late Miocene cooling from 7 to 5.4 million years ago - remain unclear.

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have an emerging scientific role, assisting modern pharmaceutics. They are uniquely supporting the resolution of crucial issues, such as the effective extraction and isolation of bio-actives. They act as media and catalysts for pharmaceutical drug synthesis, and as green solvents and modifiers in pharmaceutical analysis.

The development and implementation of county carbon control action plans in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) are crucial for realizing the "dual carbon" goals and modernizing national governance. Utilizing remote sensing data from 2001 to 2020, this study constructs a light-carbon conversion model and a carbon footprint model to simulate the carbon footprint of county energy consumption in the YRB. Employing spatial autocorrelation and spatial Durbin models, the study examines the temporal-spatial evolution characteristics and spatial effect mechanism.
