Adiantum capillus‐veneris is a species with a worldwide distribution, exhibiting considerable morphological variation, with several infraspecific names applied. Among these infraspecific taxa, A. capillus‐veneris subspecies lanyuanum can be easily distinguished from typical A. capillus‐veneris by its small and 1‐pinnate fronds. This form has been recorded from a few insular populations in Taiwan and Japan, typically inhabiting...

Purpose Cervical total disc replacement (TDR) is commonly performed to treat degenerative cervical spondylosis, but it often faces challenges such as implant wear and migration. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a novel 3D-printed TDR featuring a titanium endplate and a lattice-structured poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) design. The primary objective was to replicate the natural motion of the cervical disc while addressin...

Summary Emerging azole resistance in Aspergillus fumigatus poses a serious threat to human health. This nationwide surveillance study investigated the prevalence and molecular characteristics of azole‐resistant A. fumigatus environmental isolates in Taiwan, an island country with increasing use of azole fungicides. Of the 2760 air and soil samples screened from 2014 to 2016, 451 A. fumigatus isolates were recovered from 266 sa...
