Surprisingly, most species on Earth are rare, meaning that they exist in small numbers, and only a few common, abundant widespread. Monitoring rare is very important because more vulnerable to environmental disturbances. In addition, many may have unique functions ecosystems, we still do not understand well. Scientists need tools tell how rarity changes over time across large areas. We develope...

Techniques to identify and treat vulnerable plaques are the focus of enormous research. Some have questioned the benefit of locating individual vulnerable plaque in a multifocal disease. On autopsy, it is found that most deaths are caused by thrombotic occlusion of a single plaque; simultaneous occurrence of 2 occlusive thrombi is rare, but a second vulnerable plaque is common, particularly in ...

The use of an ICU diary in which families and caregivers write about the milestones of the patient’s stay in the ICU has been proposed as an aid to fill in gaps in patients’ memories. Still, caregivers have not widely adopted the keeping of ICU diaries and provisio...

Background Heart valve injuries due to non-penetrating blunt thoracic trauma are rare with aortic valve being the most vulnerable. Tricuspid valve injury resulting in severe regurgitation is unusual after blunt chest trauma. Two major issues for the management of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation are timing and type of the operation. Valve repair is naturally the first choice but valve replacem...
