A review of migratory Alosidae marine ecology in the northwest Atlantic.

Migratory animals play a crucial role in connecting distinct habitats by transferring matter and energy across ecosystem boundaries. In the North Atlantic, anadromous species exemplify this through their movement between freshwater and marine environments. Alosids, including species such as alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), blueback herring (Alosa aestivalis), and American shad (Alosa sapidissima), exhibit this migratory behavior to maximize growth and fecundity and are, therefore, vital components of Atlantic coastal ecosystems.

Nutritional Support: Enteral Nutrition Pathway for Children Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.

Background:  Children undergoing a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at a higher risk for malnutrition, which could be reduced by enteral nutrition (EN) support.

Objectives:  This study evaluated the safety and feasibility of implementing an EN pathway for children undergoing HSCT.

Methods:  An evidence-based, standardized EN pathway was implemented for children undergoing HSCT.
