Impaired olfactory associative behavior of honeybee workers due to contamination of imidacloprid in the larval stage.

The residue of imidacloprid in the nectar and pollens of the plants is toxic not only to adult honeybees but also the larvae.Our understanding of the risk of imidacloprid to larvae of the honeybees is still in a very early stage.In this study, the capped-brood, pupation and eclosion rates of the honeybee larvae were recorded after treating them dir

Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy for difficult cases of acute cholecystitis: a simple technique using barbed sutures

Abstract Background Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for difficult acute cholecystitis (AC) cases bears a high risk of vasculobiliary injuries (VBI).The Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) recommend the use of bailout procedures and subtotal cholecystectomy to prevent VBI.Performing a safe LC is challenging, even when followed by an accurate pre-surgical
