Article Synopsis
- Max Egon Thiel's chapter on rhizostomes ecology up to 1970 covers a wide range of topics but lacks depth in blooms, ecosystem roles, and alien introductions.
- The current review aims to delve into Thiel's interests like seasonality and also explore neglected areas such as the impact of alien species and ecological roles.
- The discussion culminates in evaluating whether rhizostomes should be classified separately from semaeostomes in ecological studies.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how early treatment helps babies with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a condition that affects muscles.
- Researchers checked the health of 66 babies treated within the first 6 weeks of life and found good results, like all babies being able to sit up on their own.
- However, some babies with a certain genetic marker (two SMN2 copies) had a harder time walking compared to those with more copies, showing that more studies are needed to improve their care.
