Abstract Leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVCL) is a rare retroperitoneal tumor.We report two cases of level II (middle level, renal veins to hepatic veins) IVCL, who underwent en bloc resection with reconstruction of bilateral or left renal venous return using prosthetic grafts.In our cases, IVCL is documented to be occluded preoperativel
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is an extremely toxic marine compound produced by different genera of bacteria that can reach humans through ingestion mainly of pufferfish but also of other contaminated fish species, marine gastropods or bivalves.TTX blocks voltage-gated sodium channels inhibiting neurotransmission, which in severe cases triggers cardiorespirat
Using porous wind barriers for the microclimate modification of agricultural lands, urban areas, and surrounding roads is a ubiquitous practice.This study establishes a new method for numerically modeling the turbulent flow in and around forest shelterbelts using an advanced multiple-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model (MRTLBM).A detailed descr
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based untargeted metabolomics implies that annotated metabolites can serve as potential markers of the associated bioactivities JOINT-PRO FORMULA of plant extracts.Firstly, we selected Aphananthe aspera and Zelkova serrata (Family: Ulmaceae) from 16 Korean plant species based on their distinct princip
