The amount of CD34 cells has been for decades the most important marker of autologous graft quality, but other graft cells, including various lymphocyte subsets, have gained some interest. This review attempts to summarize what is known about autograft cellular composition regarding post-transplant outcomes. The amount of CD34 cells in the graft is associated with tempo of platelet recovery.

Current literature has not described an associated case of gastric pneumatosis with semaglutide use. We report a 61-year-old man on semaglutide for 9 months with gastric pneumatosis.

Methods: For this analysis, we used data from the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program from 2014 through 2021.
Visual transect counting of large-bodied fish using artificial light at night in a shallow littoral zone (<1 m water depth) is introduced as a complementary survey method for fishes such as common bream Abramis brama and northern pike Esox lucius that are under-represented in standard gillnet surveys. The results suggest that transect counting at night and applying necessary corrections for environmental variables could provide a simple and repeatable method to assess the presence and abundance of large-bodied fishes in lakes with satisfactory water clarity.

- The quality of a neighborhood significantly impacts residents' overall quality of life and health, especially as urbanization increases.
- A study analyzed survey data from over 2,000 adults in Finland, finding that 80% viewed their neighborhoods as liveable, with key factors being socioeconomic status, urban location, green views, and satisfaction with safety and green spaces.
- The research emphasizes the importance of involving residents in neighborhood decision-making to enhance perceptions of liveability, with only minor effects seen from residents being more settled in their neighborhoods.
