We report a novel application of targeted sclerotherapy to childrens backpacks eradicate high-output chylothorax.The patient underwent thoracic duct embolization; however, cannulation of the thoracic duct failed, and thoracic duct disruption was performed.Leakage continued; therefore, the leakage site in the mediastinum was punctured directly under
Charophytes: Evolutionary Giants and Emerging Model Organisms
Charophytes are the group of green algae whose ancestral lineage gave rise to land AC Adapter plants in what resulted in a profoundly transformative event in the natural history of the planet.Extant charophytes exhibit many features that are similar to those found in land plants and their relatively simple phenotypes make them efficacious organisms

Hilltopping behavior by males of Tachysphex menkei Pulawski (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae)
Males of the little known crabronid wasp Tachysphex menkei Pulawski engage in hilltopping behavior at the peak of Usery Dishwasher ComfortLift Hinge Mountain in central Arizona.Males are active at midday in the late spring at this location.Individuals perch on and launch out and back flights from small rocks near prominent plants growing at the hig
Thermochronological markers reveal Late Cretaceous strike-slip faulting in the Yangtze Block, South China
Abstract Detecting strike-slip tectonics using thermochronology is challenging because the complex relative motion between fault blocks often does not substantially displace the vertical stratigraphy provided by thermochronological ages.Here we investigate the strike-slip tectonics in the Yangtze Block, South China, based on an original conceptual
