The case of 18 years survival with repeatedly excised conjunctival malignant melanoma is described. The survival period is extraordinary long in that case. However, the case is illustrative for some general characteristics of conjunctival melanoma, particularly in a comparison with cutaneous melanomas. The importance of regular following of patients with primary acquired melanosis is stressed in conclusion.

Artificially planted mangroves are widely used for tidal flat restoration, but their effectiveness in restoring these ecosystems remains unclear. Macrobenthos, as key indicators of tidal flat ecosystem health, can reflect changes in environmental conditions and quality resulting from the introduction of artificial mangroves. This study aimed to investigate the ecological restoration effects of artificially planted mangroves in northern China by surveying macrobenthic communities across four regions in June 2023.

Premise: Tree structure and function are constrained by and acclimate to climatic conditions. Drought limits plant growth and carbon acquisition and can result in "legacy" effects that last beyond the period of water stress. Leaf and twig-level legacy effects of past water abundance, such as that experienced by trees that established under wetter conditions are unknown.

Catatonia is a serious neuropsychiatric syndrome of motor and behavioral dysfunction where electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a well-proven treatment modality. ECT is also preferred as it is a low-risk procedure compared to chronic medications having significant side effects. However, the cardiovascular events that occur during ECT are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with an abnormal cardiovascular pathophysiology.
