Partial duplication of the left ovarian vein is an extremely rare anatomical variation with significant clinical implications. We report the case of a 52-year-old female with no significant medical history, presenting with a 2-month history of vague upper abdominal pain. A diagnostic abdominal CT scan revealed an incidental finding of partial duplication of the left ovarian vein. The vein was enlarged, measuring 8 mm in diameter, and displayed a unique bifurcation at the lower end of the L4 vertebra, reuniting at the upper endplate of the L3 vertebra. Additionally, a short 4 mm segment connected the duplicated mid-segments. This case underscores the importance of thorough imaging and evaluation in identifying rare vascular anomalies, which can have significant implications for diagnosis and management.

Dehydrins (Dhns) are a group of intrinsically disordered land plant proteins that are closely associated with tolerance of dehydrative stress. Dhns are recognized and classified by the presence and sequence of five different conserved segments, varying in length from 8 to 15 residues, separated by highly variable disordered regions. In addition to one or more copies of the diagnostic, fifteen-residue K segment, most Dhns can be classified into one of three major groups based on the mutually exclusive presence of three other conserved segments (H, Y, or F), with all three groups typically incorporating multi-serine S segments.

Recent advancements in viral metagenomics and single-virus genomics have improved our ability to obtain the draft genomes of environmental viruses. However, these methods can introduce virus sequence contaminations into viral genomes when short, fragmented partial sequences are present in the assembled contigs. These contaminations can lead to incorrect analyses; however, practical detection tools are lacking.
