Sandy beach macrofauna along the shore of Fiji: Low species richness due to beach morphodynamics or low productivity in coastal waters?

Six sandy beaches located on the south coast of Viti-Levu, Fiji, were sampled to provide as a first aim, an environmental description based upon their physical and biological attributes, to serve as a reference tool for further monitoring programs. Beach face slopes were measured at 4 replicated transects stretching from the front dunes or the seaward reach of the tree vegetation (upper shore level) to the low tide level. Samples for analyses of sand particle size were collected at 4 tidal levels: the upper shore, the drift and effluent lines, and the low tide level.

Pure LATE-NC: Frequency, clinical impact, and the importance of considering APOE genotype when assessing this and other subtypes of non-Alzheimer's pathologies.

Pure limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy neuropathologic changes (pure LATE-NC) is a term used to describe brains with LATE-NC but lacking intermediate or severe levels of Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic changes (ADNC). Focusing on pure LATE-NC, we analyzed data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center (NACC) Neuropathology Data Set, comprising clinical and pathological information aggregated from 32 NIH-funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers (ADRCs). After excluding subjects dying with unusual conditions, n = 1,926 autopsied subjects were included in the analyses.

[Heart failure due to arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis. Presentation of two clinical cases].

Arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis create a leftto-right shunt, resulting in an average 25% increase in cardiac output and subsequent remodeling of cardiac chambers. Some of these patients may develop highoutput heart failure. In this report, we present two cases of heart failure associated with an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis, each showing distinct clinical outcomes following either its occlusion or cerclage.

Dressing a Nonpolarizable Force Field for OH in TIP4P/2005 Aqueous Solutions with Corrected Hirshfeld Charges.

We present a rigid model for the OH ion parametrized for binary mixtures with TIP4P/2005-type water molecules. Li, Na and K were selected as counterions, hence mimicking the important and widely used solutions of soluble alkaline hydroxides. The optimized atomic charge distributions were obtained by scaling in a factor of 0.
