Interactions between leaf phenological type and functional traits drive variation in isoprene emissions in central Amazon forest trees.

The Amazon forest is the largest source of isoprene emissions, and the seasonal pattern of leaf-out phenology in this forest has been indicated as an important driver of seasonal variation in emissions. Still, it is unclear how emissions vary between different leaf phenological types in this forest. To evaluate the influence of leaf phenological type over isoprene emissions, we measured leaf-level isoprene emission capacity and leaf functional traits for 175 trees from 124 species of angiosperms distributed among brevideciduous and evergreen trees in a central Amazon forest.

Review of biological variation and its applications in interpretation of equine clinical pathology results.

Biological variation in laboratory results refers to physiological fluctuations that occur around a homeostatic setpoint (HSP) for various laboratory measurands. Assessment of biological variation includes determining individual variation (CV), group variation (CV), and analytical variation (CV). Reference change value (RCV) is an objective tool for an evidence-based approach to interpret data by assessing the significance of consecutive results in an individual for the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring of disease.

[Medical simulation training for bone marrow harvesting from a healthy donor for an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (SFGM-TC)].

This workshop presents the recommendations of the Société francophone de greffe de moelle et de thérapie cellulaire (SFGM-TC) for simulation-based training on bone marrow harvesting from healthy donors. Due to the decline in bone marrow harvests in favor of peripheral stem cells, a loss of expertise has been observed among younger hematologists. The training consists of an online theoretical component and a hands-on workshop using a mannequin at the PRESAGE simulation center at the Lille University School of Medicine.
