A review of 367 cases of patients undergoing cholecystectomy was made to compare the complication rates and the duration of hospital stay in the patients in whom the surgeon used routine drainage of the gallbladder bed and those in whom the surgeon used drainage selectively (only in those with severe inflammatory reaction, persistent leakage or injury to the liver bed). The patients in whom selective drainage was used had a significantly lower complication rate and a shorter hospital stay. It is concluded that routine drainage adds to the morbidity of simple cholecystectomy and should not be practiced.

The genus is distributed in the eastern three rivers on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and its adjacent regions, located to the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Its origin and evolution are likely influenced by the uplift of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, the historical impact of geological events on the divergence and distribution of this fish group has not been fully elucidated.

Due to their involvement in pathogen-mediated immune responses, the hypervariable genes of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) have become a paradigm for investigating the evolution and maintenance of genetic (adaptive) diversity, contextually providing insight into the viability of wild populations, which is meaningful for conservation. Here, we provide the first preliminary characterization of MHC polymorphism and evolution in trouts from Albania, a known hotspot of Salmonid diversity harboring ecologically and phylogenetically distinct native (threatened) taxa. Overall, 36 trout-including Lake Ohrid-endemic and , and both riverine and lacustrine native brown trout (the complex) from the Drin-Skadar drainage-were genotyped at the MHC- locus through next-generation amplicon sequencing.

Mining activities produce large quantities of tailings and acid mine drainage, which contain varieties of heavy metals, thereby affecting the downstream farmland soils and crops. Heavy metals could induce antibiotic resistance through co-selection pressure. However, the profiles of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the mining-affected farmland soils and crops are still unclear.

Low-flow vascular malformations (LFVMs) account for over 90% of all vascular malformations, with the highest prevalence in the head and neck region. Intralesional sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for subcutaneous LFVMs, although there is no consensus on optimal agent selection or dosage. Mild sclerosing agents, such as bleomycin, are commonly used in sensitive anatomical areas, including the head and neck, due to their favorable safety profile, despite slightly lower efficacy.
