Long-term studies are critical for ecological understanding, but they are underutilized as inclusive opportunities for training ecologists. We use our perspective from the Año Nuevo elephant seal programme along with surveys from community members to propose that long-term studies could be better leveraged to promote inclusive education and professional development in ecology. Drawing on our experiences as mentors and mentees, we demonstrate how long-term studies can use their resources, including rich data, robust logistics and extensive professional networks, to improve recruitment and retention of diverse groups of trainees.

Because fibrin is abundant in gastric tumors but not in healthy tissues, we hypothesized that fibrin could be used as a high-concentration depot for a high-energy beta-emitting cytotoxic radiopharmaceutical delivered to tumor cells. We showed that fibrin is present in 64 to 75% of primary gastric tumors and 50 to 100% of metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma cores.

- - This study is the first to investigate Vibrio parahaemolyticus from migrating birds in Egypt, finding that 13.75% of the 80 samples were contaminated with this pathogen.
- - Most isolates showed genetic similarities to human and shrimp strains, carrying multiple virulence genes and demonstrating antibiotic-resistance, including multidrug resistance (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) traits.
- - The research highlights a dangerous health risk due to the identification of resistant V. parahaemolyticus strains in birds, raising concerns about zoonotic transmission to humans.
Article Synopsis
- MRSA is a significant health threat due to its role in infectious mastitis in livestock and its ability to resist multiple antibiotics, which complicates treatment efforts globally.
- A study conducted in Egypt found that cows have a higher incidence of mastitis than buffaloes, with treatment costs totaling around 82 million EGP from 2016 to 2021.
- The use of apple cider vinegar (ACV) showed promising antibacterial effects against MRSA, with effective inhibition rates, suggesting it could be a viable alternative to conventional antibiotics.
Malaria continues to pose a significant threat to global health, which is exacerbated by the emergence of drug-resistant strains, necessitating the urgent development of new therapeutic options. Due to their substantial bioactivity in treating malaria, pyridine and pyrimidine have become the focal point of drug research. Hybrids of pyridine and pyrimidine offer a novel and promising avenue for developing effective antimalarial agents.
