Background: Acoustic telemetry has become a fundamental tool to monitor the movement of aquatic species. Advances in technology, in particular the development of batteries with lives of > 10 years, have increased our ability to track the long-term movement patterns of many species. However, logistics and financial constraints often dictate the locations and deployment duration of acoustic receivers.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists are studying how to make more of the healthy part of the liver before surgery, which is important for patients with liver issues.
  • They used a special MRI test to check the condition of the liver in 10 patients before and after a procedure called dual vein embolization (DVE).
  • After the DVE, the patients showed better liver health and increased healthy liver volume, which helps in avoiding problems during major liver surgery.
