Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how well people can swallow before and after they received special radiation treatment for cancers in the throat area.
- 175 patients were tested to see if their swallowing ability changed 6 months after treatment, and many showed a drop in their ability to eat or drink normally.
- The results showed some improvements for a few, but many had trouble swallowing and some even developed jaw stiffness after the radiation.
Article Synopsis
- Sharks play many important roles in their ecosystems, like being predators and helping transport nutrients.
- Sadly, overfishing and other human activities have hurt shark populations, which changes how ecosystems work.
- To fix the problems caused by losing sharks, we need to manage their populations better and understand all the ways they help the environment.
Background: Environmental stimuli experienced by the parental generation influence the phenotype of subsequent generations (Demoinet et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 114:E2689-E2698, 2017; Burton et al., Nat Cell Biol 19:252-257, 2017; Agrawal et al.

However, few studies have formally projected how their seasonal marine habitat may shift in response to warming ocean temperatures. Here we used a high-resolution global climate model and a large satellite tagging dataset to project changes in the future distribution of suitable thermal habitat for loggerheads along the northeastern continental shelf of the United States.
