The analysis of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) has been widely used in ecology since it allows to identify the circulation of energy in a trophic network. The anchialine ecosystem is one of the less explored aquatic ecosystems in the world and stable isotope analysis represents a useful tool to identify the routes through which energy flows and to define the trophic niches of species. Sampling and data recording was conducted in one anchialine cave, Cenote Vaca Ha, near the town of Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico, where seven stygobitic species endemic to the anchialine caves of the Yucatan Peninsula, plus sediment, water and vegetation samples were analyzed to determine what the main nutrient sources are.

Introduction: 2022 was a landmark year with two adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) receiving conditional marketing authorization from EMA for the treatment of persons with severe haemophilia A and severe to moderately severe haemophilia B and a third in 2024. Gene therapy is a transformative, irreversible treatment with long-lasting effects, necessitating development of new clinical pathways to ensure optimal outcomes.

Aim: To develop a consensus framework and service specification for delivery of AAV gene therapy for haemophilia in adults within the UK using the hub-and-spoke model proposed by the European Association of Haemophilia and Allied Disorders and the European Haemophilia Consortium.

Article Synopsis
  • Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management can be tough for young adults transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare, as they face both health care challenges and typical life changes.
  • * The DiaBetter Together study aims to assess a 12-month intervention where Peer Mentors guide young adults (ages 17-25) through this transition, focusing on healthcare navigation and self-management skills.
  • * The trial measures primary outcomes like HbA1c levels and secondary outcomes such as the time taken to switch to adult care and overall psychosocial well-being.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores how different sexual positions impact ejaculation duration and the overall control of ejaculation, which is important for sexual pleasure.
  • Conducted through an online survey with 1904 heterosexual men aged 18-65, it looked at factors related to premature ejaculation (PE) and how these men engage in various sexual positions.
  • Results indicated a significant preference for doggy style across all groups, with non-PE participants more likely to change positions when close to ejaculation compared to PE participants, suggesting that adjusting sexual positions may help manage PE.
