Article Abstract
Objective: Recent advancements in genome analyses, including the BRAF gene and mismatch repair (MMR) gene/microsatellite instability (MSI), have revealed the biological diversity of colorectal cancer (CRC). BRAF-mutated CRC has a poor prognosis; however, cases exhibiting deficient MMR (dMMR)/MSI-high (MSI-H) and BRAF gene mutations have demonstrated significant prognostic improvement following recent immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Therefore, the diagnosis of these subtypes is important. This study aimed to identify the endoscopic features of dMMR/MSI-high and BRAF-mutated CRCs.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 292 CRC cases. Clinicopathological findings, focusing on dMMR/MSI-H and BRAF-mutated subtypes, were determined. Endoscopic images were analyzed for the presence of yellow slough. Surface material characteristics were assessed through a histopathological evaluation.
Results: Of the 256 cases analyzed, 27 were dMMR/MSI-H CRC, including 12 BRAF-mutant cases. Yellow slough was observed in 83.3% of dMMR/MSI-H and BRAF-mutated CRCs, compared with 13.3% dMMR/MSI-H and BRAF wild-type CRCs and 1.3% pMMR/MSS and BRAF wild-type CRCs. Histological examination showed a correlation of yellow slough with coagulative necrosis and thicker surface layers in dMMR/MSI-high and BRAF-mutated CRCs.
Conclusion: Yellow slough on endoscopy may help identify dMMR/MSI-H- and BRAF-mutated CRC and allow the initiation of appropriate molecular testing and immunotherapy.

Background: Use of negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell time (NPWTi-d) of a topical wound solution has been limited in some settings due to perceptions of setup complexity. Typically, some guesswork was needed to estimate an adequate volume of solution to instill without causing leaks. A novel smart technology is recently available in certain NPWTi-d systems that automatically estimates and instills a solution volume according to wound dimensions.

Microplastics are emergent contaminants threatening aquatic organisms including aquacultured fish. This study investigated the effects of high-density polyethylene (HDPE, 100 to 125 μm) on yellow perch () based on integrative evaluation including growth performance, nutritional status, nutrient metabolism, fish health, and gut microbial community. Five test diets (0, 1, 2, 4, or 8 g HDPE/100 g diet) containing 41% protein and 10.

Article Synopsis
- Coastal ecosystems play a crucial yet underexplored role in supporting coral reef health, particularly for species like sea kraits that rely on both marine and terrestrial habitats.
- Research on a Fiji atoll indicates that specific microhabitats within coastal forests, influenced by factors like canopy cover and proximity to the high-water mark, are essential for the behavior and survival of Yellow Lipped Sea Kraits.
- The study emphasizes the need for integrated land-sea management and highlights the significance of coastal forests in biodiversity conservation, advocating for a holistic approach to conservation that considers the connections between different ecosystems.

Background: Acetic acid is bacteriostatic or bactericidal to many gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms, especially Pseudomonas. Nevertheless, it has also been found to possess cytotoxic effects in concentrations as low as 0.25% inhibiting the epithelialization process during wound healing.
