Diadromous fish species are characterised by spawning migrations between freshwater and marine environments, where they traverse through estuaries and close to coasts. This species group has declined substantially over the past decades due to anthropogenic effects such as habitat fragmentation and loss and overfishing. A rising potential threat to their population recovery is the increasing installation of subsea power cables (SPCs) which generate electromagnetic fields (EMF) as they transport energy from offshore wind farms to land.

To effectively participate in these initiatives, patients and carers need to understand general terms used in infection care. We explored awareness of commonly used infection-related terms among patients and carers in the surgical out-patient of a tertiary academic hospital.

- - H3 K27M-altered diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs) are aggressive brain tumors that mostly have a specific mutation in the histone H3 gene and can be categorized into subgroups based on various traits like mutation types and tumor locations.
- - Researchers analyzed 149 DMGs, looking into their DNA methylation patterns and found two main subtypes: DMG-A and DMG-B, which differ in mutation profiles, tumor locations, patient age, and overall survival rates.
- - DMG-A, primarily affecting adults and often located in the medulla, showed better survival rates compared to DMG-B, which is more common in children and associated with poorer outcomes; subtype classification based on methylation patterns
Background: Studying habitat use and vertical movement patterns of individual fish over continuous time and space is innately challenging and has therefore largely remained elusive for a wide range of species. Amongst sharks, this applies particularly to smaller-bodied and less wide-ranging species such as the spurdog (Squalus acanthias Linnaeus, 1758), which, despite its importance for fisheries, has received limited attention in biologging and biotelemetry studies, particularly in the North-East Atlantic.
Methods: To investigate seasonal variations in fine-scale niche use and vertical movement patterns in female spurdog, we used archival data from 19 pregnant individuals that were satellite-tagged for up to 365 days in Norwegian fjords.
Article Synopsis
- HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) is linked to inflammation, obesity, and changes in gut microbiome, with high TMAO levels indicating worse outcomes.
- A study of healthy and obese rats confirmed HFpEF via various measurements, revealing increased TMAO, carnitine, and NT-proBNP levels in obese rats.
- The impaired intestinal barrier function and decreased FMO3 levels in these rats suggest a connection between microbiome alterations and HFpEF progression, despite stable kidney function.
