Article Synopsis
- Marine species are predicted to shift northward due to rising global temperatures, and Laminaria hyperborea, a temperate kelp, is studied for its potential to expand into the High Arctic.
- A long-term experiment tested the kelp's response to different light conditions and temperatures, finding that light exposure significantly impacted its growth and health compared to temperature alone.
- The results indicate that with warmer summers reaching 10°C, L. hyperborea is likely to thrive in the Arctic, potentially transforming local ecosystems as climate change progresses.
Article Synopsis
- - Critical illness-related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI) in neonates post-congenital heart surgery can lead to serious health issues, including hemodynamic instability, and is linked to higher morbidity and mortality.
- - A study of neonates undergoing cardiac surgery revealed that those diagnosed with CIRCI had a 100% occurrence of the STX1A gene mutation, whereas this mutation was absent in the non-CIRCI group, indicating a potential genetic basis for CIRCI.
- - Additional mutations in genes like RAB6A and ABCA3 were also found in the CIRCI group but not in the non-CIRCI group, suggesting that further investigation into these genetic factors is needed to understand their role in
Background: The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a Laminariales species widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere. Its physiology and ecology have been studied since the 1960s, given its ecological relevance on western temperate coasts. However, research interest has been rising recently, driven mainly by reports of negative impacts of anthropogenically induced environmental change and by the increased commercial interest in cultivating the species, with several industrial applications for the resulting biomass.

Information on how this species is able to thrive under current and future Arctic conditions is scarce. During the Arctic summer of 2019, was collected in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard (78.

Methods: The medical records of all children <19 years diagnosed with accommodative esotropia and a high AC/A ratio while residing in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from January 1, 1975, through December 31, 2004, were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: A total of 512 patients were diagnosed with AET during the 30-year study period, of which 395 (77.
