Temperate streams are subsidized by inputs of leaf litter peaking in fall. Yet, stream communities decompose dead leaves and integrate their energy into the aquatic food web throughout the whole year. Most studies investigating stream decomposition largely overlook long-term trajectories, which must be understood for an appropriate temporal upscaling of ecosystem processes.

Background And Purpose: We report on an intensive two-day training program on microanastomoses performed on perfused human placenta models. A specific scoring system was elaborated to evaluate the participants' microsurgical skills and report the participants' results.
Materials And Methods: Trainees who attended the Zurich Microsurgery Courses in 2023 were included in the study.
Background And Purposes: Non-invasive optimal vessel analysis quantitative magnetic resonance angiography (NOVA-QMRA) has emerged as a valuable tool to characterize cerebral hemodynamics in intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD). Our aim was to explore the eventual correlation between volume flow rate (VFR) measured via NOVA-QMRA and signal intensity ratio (SIR) of time-of-flight (TOF) MRA in M1- and P2-segments bilaterally in patients with unilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion.
Materials And Methods: Patients with acute, subacute or chronic unilaterall ICA occlusion receiving NOVA-QMRA between June 2019 and June 2021 were retrospectively included.
Article Synopsis
- The synaptic vesicle cluster (SVC) is critical for releasing neurotransmitters at chemical synapses and also helps regulate various cofactors involved in exo- and endocytosis.
- It contains various molecules important for synaptic processes, including cytoskeletal elements and adhesion proteins, and influences the positioning and activity of key organelles like mitochondria.
- Changes in the size of the SVC may align with alterations in the postsynaptic area, indicating that it plays a central role in synchronizing pre- and postsynaptic functions, which warrants further research into its regulatory mechanisms.
Background: The use and advantages of point-of-care tests (POCTs) for C-reactive protein (CRP) in general practice, especially for upper respiratory tract infections (uRTIs), have been studied extensively. However, there is limited knowledge about test indications, prerequisites, and integration of these tests into everyday practice.
Aim: This study aims to investigate the attitudes and experiences of general practitioners (GPs) in Germany regarding the use of semi-quantitative CRP-POCTs.
