Article Abstract
Purpose: The knowledge of variations in the branching patterns of pulmonary artery may have important clinical implications in the field of thoracic surgery.
Methods: At the Department of Thoracic Surgery of Monaldi Hospital in Naples, between January 2017 and December 2019, 569 anatomic pulmonary resections via video-assisted thoracic surgery, including lobectomy and segmentectomy, were performed.
Results: Among the 569 thoracoscopic pulmonary resections, 24 variations in the branching patterns of pulmonary artery were identified and documented. Anatomic variations on the left were more frequent than on the right.
Conclusion: This paper, providing a summary of vascular anomalies identified during major lung resections, could help surgeons avoid intraoperative complications, especially during minimally invasive procedures where the visual field is more restricted than open surgery.

Cuticular hydrocarbons as pupal age markers of two species of blowflies Chrysomya (Diptera: Calliphoridae): Implications for estimating the postmortem interval.

Blowflies are important to estimate the postmortem interval (PMI), since they are the first to interact with the carcass. However, depending on the decomposition stage, only pupae can be found. A method that has currently been suggested is the use of cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) in forensically important fly species to aid in estimating PMI; however, studies from the pupal stage are rare.

To minimize the occupational radiation hazards for workers in uranium or associated radioactive underground mines, it is necessary to control the radon exposure dose in each branch of the mine ventilation network. Firstly, a mathematical model of determining potential alpha energy concentration (PAEC) of radon daughters in a single branch was proposed on the basis of the previous radon concentration calculation model in the ventilation network considering ventilation pressure drop. Then, two estimation models of radon exposure dose based on the equilibrium radon concentration and PAEC of radon daughters are introduced.

Tightly bound tritium (TBT) in soil is poorly studied in terms of its bioavailability. This paper presents the results of long-term studies (2018 through 2023) on the bioavailability of tightly bound tritium in soil. Field studies were conducted in the epicentral zones of the Semipalatinsk test site (STS), using dominant and subdominant species.

Soybean is an important source of oil, protein, and feed. However, its yield is far below that of major cereal crops. The green revolution increased the yield of cereal crops partially through high-density planting of lodging-resistant semi-dwarf varieties, but required more nitrogen fertilizers, posing an environmental threat.

The transverse facial artery is a key vascular structure supplying the lateral face and is critically important in surgical procedures such as facelifts, facial trauma repair, and injectable treatments. However, detailed anatomical studies on the transverse facial artery remain scarce. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the anatomical variations, depth, branching patterns and clinical significance of the transverse facial artery (TFA) using both cadaveric dissection and computed tomography angiography (CTA).
