Elasmobranch species show low resilience in relation to anthropogenic stressors such as fishing efforts, loss of habitats, and climate change. In this sense, the elasmobranch populations appear to be at risk of extinction in many cases. Despite conservation researchers making efforts to implement knowledge, the information on the biology, reproduction, distribution, or genetic structure of some species is still scattered, often caused by the occurrence of species in inaccessible habitats. Echinorhinus brucus is a deep benthic shark evaluated as "Endangered" on which little information is available, particularly about its geographical range and genetic structure, while E...

Port-wine stains (PWSs), or port-wine birthmarks, are congenital vascular malformations that manifest as erythematous to pink patches at birth. At present, lasers are the preferred method for treating PWSs, with pulsed dye laser (PDL) being regarded as the gold standard because of its superior efficacy compared to alternative procedures. Despite the progress made in laser therapy, a subset of patients continue to experience PWSs that cannot be resolved effectively even with PDL. A new long-pulse potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser with a trail of sub-pulses (Derma V, Lutronic, Seoul, South Korea) is a promising treatment for PWSs resistant to PDL therapies...
