Article Synopsis
  • Two new Arctic incirrate octopus species are identified, with one, Muusoctopus aegir, receiving formal description due to distinct characteristics like absence of stylets and unique funnel organ morphology.
  • The study also explores morphology and reproductive biology of related species, contributing important data on gill lamellae counts and reproductive system structure.
  • It includes tools for species identification and equations to estimate physical measurements of the new species, expanding knowledge on the diversity and distribution of Muusoctopus in Arctic waters.

Purpose: Ring sideroblasts (RS) define the low-risk myelodysplastic neoplasm (MDS) subgroup with RS but may also reflect erythroid dysplasia in higher risk myeloid neoplasm. The benign behavior of MDS with RS (MDSRS+) is limited to SF3B1-mutated cases without additional high-risk genetic events, but one third of MDSRS+ carry no SF3B1 mutation, suggesting that different molecular mechanisms may underlie RS formation. We integrated genomic and transcriptomic analyses to evaluate whether transcriptome profiles may improve current risk stratification.

Introduction: The study aim was to describe migraine incidence over the ten-year periods, 2000-2009 and 2010-2019, in individuals aged 10-79 years in primary healthcare centre (PHCC) Sólvangur and Fjörður, Hafnarfirði. Another aim was to estimate migraine prevalence in primary care clinics in the capital area of Iceland over the period 2010-2019 and describe prescriptions for migraine specific drugs and other drugs used for migraine.

Material And Methods: This is a retrospective study based on data from medical records from the primary care clinics of the capital region of Iceland.
