Details on the transport of European eel larvae through the Strait of Gibraltar into the Mediterranean Sea.

Numbers of European glass eels (Anguilla anguilla) monitored along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of Europe currently serve as the main stock indicator in assessment of this critically endangered species. Spawning, however, takes place exclusively in the Sargasso Sea, several thousand kilometers away. The beginning of its complex lifecycle is characterized by a distant and lengthy larval drift, before the young-of-the-year reach the monitoring stations at the European coasts.

New immunomodulatory treatment protocol for canine leishmaniosis reduces parasitemia and proteinuria.

The current standard treatment for canine leishmaniosis (CanL), N-methylglucamine antimoniate (MGA) given with allopurinol, is not fully effective and may cause adverse effects and drug resistance. In vitro and in vivo studies have shown that nucleotides, administered alone or with AHCC, offer benefits in the treatment of CanL. This study examines the effects of a new immunomodulatory treatment protocol in which dietary nucleotides and AHCC are added to the recommended standard treatment.

Evidence for in vivo resistance against allopurinol in a dog infected with Leishmania infantum by reduction in copy numbers of the S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (METK) gene.

Background: In Europe, canine leishmaniasis is commonly caused by Leishmania infantum. Allopurinol is the main drug for long-term management of the disease, and clinical relapses of L. infantum infection treated with this drug are described.

Clinical, Dosimetric and Radiomic Features Predictive of Lung Toxicity After (Chemo)Radiotherapy.

Background: Treatment of locally advanced non small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) is based on (chemo)radiotherapy, which may cause acute lung toxicity: radiation pneumonitis (RP). Its frequency seems to increase by the use of adjuvant durvalumab therapy.

Aims: To identify clinical, dosimetric, and radiomic factors associated with grade (G)≥2 RP and build a prediction model based on selected parameters.

Prenatal homelessness, food insecurity, and unemployment and adverse infant outcomes in a California cohort, 2007-2020.

Objectives: Characterize the relationship between infant outcomes and prenatal homelessness, food insecurity and unemployment.

Study Design: California live births between 22- and 44-weeks' gestation comprised 6,089,327 pregnancies (2007-2020). Data were collected from linked Vital Statistics and hospital discharge records.
