Background And Aim: Blood parasite infections in poultry, such as , are a serious threat to the poultry industry due to their potential to cause economic losses. To date, there has been inadequate research on the morphological and molecular detection of the different species that infect poultry in Indonesia. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the morphological and molecular characteristics of spp. and the several predisposing factors for infection in layer chickens from three districts of Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Materials And Methods: One hundred and five blood samples from layer chickens were collected from 13 farms located in three districts of Yogyakarta (Sleman, Bantul, and Kulon Progo) between September and November 2022. Blood samples were subjected to microscopic and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses. Sequencing was performed using basic local alignment search tools to identify the nucleotide structure of cytochrome b. Phylogenetic analysis of was performed using the MEGA-X software.
Results: Microscopic examination revealed that 17/105 positives (16.19%) were positive for blood parasite infection. Trophozoites, erythrocytic meronts, and microgametocytes of were found in blood samples. Based on the morphological examination, the species found in the samples was close to . Polymerase chain reaction examination revealed that 21/60 samples were positive for (35%). The species identified from the sequenced samples were proven to be . The from Thailand was closely related to samples (99.64%-100%) with a genetic distance of 0%-1%. In addition, age, population, and cage type were not significantly associated with infection.
Conclusion: Based on microscopic and PCR examinations, the Plasmodium species found in the three districts of Yogyakarta was . The genetic distance between samples from the three districts of Yogyakarta was closely related (0%-1%) to from Thailand and Japan. There was no correlation between infection and age, cage type, or population.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic sigmoid extraperitoneal colostomy combined with pelvic peritoneal closure in abdominoperineal resection for low rectal cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 162 patients with low rectal cancer, who underwent laparoscopic abdominoperineal resection from January 2015 to January 2019 at the Affiliated Peace Hospital of Changzhi Medical College. Extraperitoneal stoma construction was performed in 98 patients (study group), while 64 patients (control group) underwent the procedure without suturing the pelvic peritoneum.

This study aimed to explore the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of using KangDuo-Surgical Robot-01 (KD-SR-01) for distal gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer. We prospectively enrolled patients undergoing KD-SR-01 assisted distal gastrectomy at our center from September 2023 to December 2023. Data on baseline characteristics, perioperative details, and short-term follow-up were collected prospectively.

Traditional polymer solid electrolytes (PSEs) suffer from low Li conductivity, poor kinetics and safety concerns. Here, we present a novel porous MOF glass gelled polymer electrolyte (PMG-GPE) prepared via a top-down strategy, which features a unique three-dimensional interconnected graded-aperture structure for efficient ion transport. Comprehensive analyses, including time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), Solid-state 7Li magic-angle-spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR), Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations, and electrochemical tests, quantify the pore structures, revealing their relationship with ion conductivity that increases and then decreases as macropore proportion rises.

Effective team science requires procedural harmonization for rigor and reproducibility. Multicenter studies across experimental modalities (domains) can help accelerate translation. The Translational Outcomes Project in NeuroTrauma (TOP-NT) is a pre-clinical traumatic brain injury (TBI) consortium charged with establishing and validating noninvasive TBI assessment tools through team science.
