Direct and indirect cumulative effects of temperature, nutrients, and light on phytoplankton growth.

Temperature and resource availability are pivotal factors influencing phytoplankton community structures. Numerous prior studies demonstrated their significant influence on phytoplankton stoichiometry, cell size, and growth rates. The growth rate, serving as a reflection of an organism's success within its environment, is linked to stoichiometry and cell size.

[Sustainable residency training in urology in context of current changes in the German healthcare system].

Promoting sustainable structures and measures in residency is crucial to meet current and future requirements of the German healthcare system. This process does not only involve the integration of social, ecological, and economic aspects into everyday professional life but also into residency training. Specifically, sustainable structures and measures in residency include initiatives such as structured training curricula, simulation-based training, digital training opportunities, flexible working time models, and gender equality.

Neurologic and psycho-intellectual outcome related to structural brain imaging in adolescents and young adults after neonatal arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries.

Objective: We studied brain structure abnormalities in adolescents and young adults who had undergone the neonatal arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries and related them to the neurologic and psycho-intellectual outcomes.

Methods: In a prospective longitudinal study, 60 unselected adolescents and young adults who had undergone surgery with combined deep hypothermic circulatory arrest and low flow cardiopulmonary bypass were re-evaluated at a mean age of 16.9±1.
