Implications of Tricuspid Regurgitation Severity in Patients Undergoing Mitral Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair.

Background: Prognostically meaningful tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is not well-defined in the mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair arena. We aimed to explore the prevalence, correlates, and consequences of TR grades and postprocedural trends in this setting.

Methods And Results: A single-center registry of isolated, first-time interventions was retrospectively assessed for pre-, intra-, and postprocedural aspects up to 1 year, of them the primary composite outcome of all-cause deaths or heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, all according to TR severity at baseline and at 1 month following mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

A new species of the pill millipede genus Verhoeff, 1906 (Diplopoda, Glomerida, Glomeridae) from Myanmar, and notes on (Pocock, 1889).

The taxonomy of the pill millipede genus Verhoeff, 1906, which is restricted to Indochina and currently comprises six described species, is refined and updated. An integrative taxonomic approach was employed that combines morphological examination with DNA barcoding using the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene for species identification and delineation. The first objective was to confirm the identity of (Pocock, 1889), a charismatic species known as the "candy pill millipede" due to its vivid coloration, based on specimens collected near the type locality in Myanmar.

A description of a new species of Kiefer, 1937 (Copepoda, Calanoida, Diaptomidae) from Thailand with an up-to-date key to the genus.

The genus is widely distributed in stagnant water bodies in Southeast Asia. During a comprehensive collection of freshwater copepods from different areas in Thailand, a previously unknown species of calanoid copepod, , was recorded. Representatives were found in a natural swamp located in the Kok Phutaka community forest in Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand.

A new jewel-like species of the pill-millipede genus Verhoeff, 1924 (Diplopoda, Sphaerotheriida, Zephroniidae) from Thailand.

A new species of the giant pill millipede genus is described: from the northeastern part of Thailand. Species delimitation is based on morphological characters and COI sequence data. The new species can be clearly discriminated from congeners by its greenish-blue body color, the face mask-like appearance of the thoracic and anal shields jointly when rolled up, and the combination of the following four characters: (1) the coxa of the second leg laterally with a sharp and long process, (2) the tarsi of legs 4-21 with 6-7 ventral spines, (3) the anterior telopods consisting of four conspicuous telopoditomeres, and (4) the immovable, slender (not strongly humped) and distally curved finger of the posterior telopods without a membranous spot.

Two genera and 12 species are recognised and four new combinations are proposed of under the genus , namely , , and . Two species are newly recorded in Thailand: and .

Viability of zooplankton resting eggs in rice field sediment after pesticide applications.

Many herbicide products are commonly used in agricultural areas to prevent and eliminate weeds. Contamination from these toxicants in water might affect aquatic organisms not only in the active stage, but also in the diapause stage. To test the effect of herbicide on the resting eggs of zooplankton, we prepared two rice fields: one field without the application of pesticides (RF-NPA) and one with the application of pesticides (RF-PA) in a sampling year.

Pharmacotherapy treatment patterns at hospital discharge and clinical outcomes among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Background: This study aimed to assess the prescribing patterns of evidence-based pharmacotherapy and their association with clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in Thailand.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients with HFrEF was conducted. Treatment with a β-blocker and renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASIs) with or without mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) at discharge was regarded as guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT).

Review of the pill millipede genus Silvestri, 1917 (Diplopoda, Glomerida, Glomeridae) with description of two new species from Laos.

The pill millipede genus Silvestri, 1917 is reported from Laos for the first time. Two new species, namely Likhitrakarn, and Likhitrakarn, , from Houaphanh and Khammouane provinces, northern Laos, are described and illustrated based on morphological characters and molecular analyses. Sequences of COI gene were used as DNA barcoding markers, and successfully supported the accurate identification of other Glomeridae species.

First report of the Afrotropical genus Jacobus, McCafferty & Gattolliat (Ephemeroptera, Baetidae) from Southeast Asia, with description of a new species.

Recent collections in Thailand revealed the occurrence of the genus in Asia, formerly known from the Afrotropical Realm only. A new species of is described and illustrated based on larvae and eggs. Eggs of this genus are described for the first time.

Correction: Analysis of canthin-6-one alkaloids derived from spp. by micellar liquid chromatography and conventional high-performance liquid chromatography: a comparative evaluation.

Analysis of canthin-6-one alkaloids derived from spp. by micellar liquid chromatography and conventional high-performance liquid chromatography: a comparative evaluation.

Extracts of Jack (EL) and Pierre (EH) contain numerous bioactive compounds and varying matrices that are challenging to separate using chromatographic techniques. Herein, micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) was used to analyze canthin-6-one alkaloids contained in these extracts, and the achieved performance was compared with that of a conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The optimal mobile phase of MLC corresponded to 15 : 85 (v/v) acetonitrile : water (pH 3) containing 110 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate and 10 mM NaHPO.

Emergence of spatially structured populations by area-concentrated search.

The idea that populations are spatially structured has become a very powerful concept in ecology, raising interest in many research areas. However, despite dispersal being a core component of the concept, it typically does not consider the movement behavior underlying any dispersal. Using individual-based simulations in continuous space, we explored the emergence of a spatially structured population in landscapes with spatially heterogeneous resource distribution and with organisms following simple area-concentrated search (ACS); individuals do not, however, perceive or respond to any habitat attributes per se but only to their foraging success.

Comparison between using hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk scores and the HCC national guideline to identify high-risk chronic hepatitis B patients for HCC surveillance in Thailand.

Background And Aim: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) surveillance in hepatitis B virus (HBV) patients is currently based on age/sex/cirrhosis, uses ultrasound abdomen every 6-12 months, and is a resource burden. HCC risk scores have been developed to classify HCC risk for surveillance. The number of HBV patients needing surveillance when HCC risk scores are used may be different from the current recommendation with implications on the resources needed for HCC surveillance.

Transformation of var. phytoestrogens using immobilized and free β-glucosidase, a technique for enhancing estrogenic activity.

var. (PM) has a significant beneficial effect on postmenopausal symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency. However, the estrogenic activity and intestinal absorption of isoflavonoid glycosides derived from PM, such as daidzin and genistin, are significantly lower than those of their aglycones.

A new genus of bamboo culm tarantula from Thailand (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Theraphosidae).

Bamboo plays an important role in the animal world, including providing a nutritious food source, shelter, and habitat. Inside of bamboo culm, we discovered a new genus of tarantula, which we describe here as (♂♀). Specimens of this new tarantula were collected from Mae Tho, Mueang Tak district, Tak province, in Thailand, making it geographically distant from any other arboreal genera.
