The Urology History Center of the German Society of Urology is dedicated to the study of the medical past through a distinguished collection of rare books, museum artifacts, archives, and images. The Museum and Archive represent the history of urology and the development of the specialty through the ages with emphasis on the development in the German-speaking countries in Europe. Furthermore 3000 years of urologic science are reflected. Documents and photographs provide a unique glimpse of the past. The general public and medical professionals or urologists are intrigued by this display of artifacts related to urology.

What 'unexplored' means: mapping regions with digitized natural history records to look for 'biodiversity blindspots'.
PeerJ
January 2025
Department of Biological Sciences, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States.
We examined global records of accessible natural history voucher collections (with publicly available data and reliable locality data) for terrestrial and freshwater vascular plants, fungi, freshwater fishes, birds, mammals, and herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles) and highlight areas of the world that would be considered undersampled and sometimes called 'unexplored' (., have relatively low, or no evidence of, past sampling efforts) under typical Western-scientific descriptions. We also question what 'unexplored' may mean in these contexts and explain how replacing the term in favor of more nuanced phrasing (.

Key Message:
Abstract: Tree-rings are the prime archive for high-resolution climate information over the past two millennia. However, the accuracy of annually resolved reconstructions from tree-rings can be constrained by what is known as climate signal age effects (CSAE), encompassing changes in the sensitivity of tree growth to climate over their lifespans. Here, we evaluate CSAE in from an upper tree line site in the Spanish central Pyrenees, Lake Gerber, which became a key location for reconstructing western Mediterranean summer temperatures at annual resolution.
Lanternfish as bioindicator of microplastics in the deep sea: A spatiotemporal analysis using museum specimens.

Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Instituto de Biodiversidade e Sustentabilidade (NUPEM), Av. São José do Barreto, 764, Macaé, RJ 27965-045, Brazil.
We investigated MP ingestion in lanternfishes (Myctophidae), one of the most abundant vertebrates in the world, using archived specimens from museum collections from 1999 to 2017. Microplastics were detected in 55 % of the 1167 specimens analysed (0.95 ± 1.

PLoS One

Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.
Gold (or electrum) in hydrothermal fluid precipitates directly from gold sulfide complex and/or partly via suspended nanoparticles. The hydrothermal fluid contains "invisible gold" that is atomically dispersed in sulfide minerals or as nanoparticles with a size of less than 10 nm. However, the contribution of these gold nanoparticles to the formation of native gold and its alloy with silver (electrum) remains unclear.

IHU Méditerranée Infection, Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
Insect pests represent a threat to the integrity of historic buildings and homes, causing serious losses and irreversible damage. These pests can cause extensive damage to organic materials, including wood, textiles, and paper. Beetles, termites, booklice, moths, and cockroaches are just some of the main insect pests that are frequently found in historic buildings and homes.
