Objective: This study aimed to systematically document the reported omega-3 levels in commercially available prenatal supplements in the United States and Canada, and compare these levels to recommended intakes in pregnancy.
Study Design: Commercial prenatal supplements were identified using the Dietary Supplement Label Database ( = 50) and the Licensed Natural Health Products Database ( = 18). Mean omega-3 levels and the proportion of products meeting recommendations for pregnant women were tabulated.
Eyes within the marine gastropod superfamily Stromboidea range widely in size, from 0.2 to 2.3 mm - the largest eyes known in any gastropod.

- Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a challenging cancer to treat with immunotherapies, but certain intratumoral structures called tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) have been linked to better patient survival outcomes.
- A comprehensive study analyzed 26 PDAC tumors using advanced techniques like machine learning and spatial transcriptomics to better understand the role of TLS within tumors.
- The findings revealed specific gene expression patterns in TLS that correlate with improved survival, highlighting the importance of TLS maturation and its interactions with immune cells and the tumor environment.
Herein, we report an iron-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of allylic alcohols. The operationally simple protocol employs a well-defined bench stable (cyclopentadienone)iron(0) carbonyl complex as a precatalyst in combination with KCO (4 mol %) and isopropanol as the hydrogen donor. A diverse range of allylic alcohols undergo transfer hydrogenation to form the corresponding alcohols in good yields (33 examples, ≤83% isolated yield).

For Antarctica's endemic echinoderms, adapted to the stable polar environment, the impact of rapid reductions in coastal salinity on physiology and behaviour is currently unknown. Six common Antarctic echinoderms (the sea urchin ; the sea star ; the brittle star ; and three sea cucumbers , and ), were directly transferred from ambient salinity (34.
