Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of different types of angler's groundbaits (GBs) on the growth and health of common carp over a six-week period.
- Two types of GBs made from animal ingredients resulted in better growth compared to plant-based GBs, which had lower protein content.
- Despite lower growth rates with plant-based GBs, they provided a higher nitrogen retention efficiency without negatively affecting overall fish health or inflammatory response.
Article Synopsis
- Cancer patients are at a higher risk for severe COVID-19, and identifying specific biomarkers related to this risk could help target early treatment.
- A study analyzed plasma from 128 cancer patients with COVID-19 and found that lower levels of certain miRNAs (hsa-miR-150-5p and hsa-miR-93-5p) correlated with increased mortality, while hsa-miR-92b-3p linked to COVID-19 positivity.
- The research suggests that monitoring these miRNAs could serve as a potential blood biomarker for predicting COVID-19 severity in cancer patients, improving clinical outcomes.
Juveniles of three cyprinids with various diets and habitat preferences were collected from the Szamos River (Hungary) during a period of pollution in November 2013: the herbivorous, benthic nase (Chondrostoma nasus), the benthivorous, benthic barbel (Barbus barbus), and the omnivorous, pelagic chub (Squalius cephalus). Our study aimed to assess the accumulation of these elements across species with varying diets and habitat preferences, as well as their potential role in biomonitoring efforts. The Ca, K, Mg, Na, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Sr, and Zn concentration was analyzed in muscle, gills, and liver using MP-AES.

- The study investigates how ground-baiting (GB) impacts nutrient release into water, focusing on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) levels, particularly in relation to fish presence and different types of groundbait (fish meal-based vs. plant-based).
- Nitrogen release from unused fish meal-based groundbait (FM-GB) was low initially but increased significantly after three days, whereas plant-based groundbait (PB-GB) acted as a temporary sink for nitrogen.
- Both types of groundbait released a substantial amount of inorganic phosphorus early on, and the results indicate that excess unconsumed groundbait can contribute to eutrophication in phosphorus-limited ecosystems, impacting overall primary production and nutrient availability.
Treating relapsed and refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is still challenging for clinicians, but the available CAR-T and bispecific antibodies have revolutionized therapy. Autologous stem cell transplantation was the most effective treatment modality previously. The authors reported data from a single center over ten years.
