The Atlantic Canada Oncology Group (ACOG) Symposium is an annual meeting. For the first 8 years it was held in Cornerbrook (NL, Canada) and for the last 7 years it has been held in Prince Edward Island (Canada). The target audience are medical and radiation oncologists from across the Atlantic Canadian provinces, but surgical oncologists, gynecologists, nurses, pharmacists, researchers, residents and other healthcare providers who work in oncology also benefit from the content presented at this meeting. The primary learning objectives are to promote cooperation among cancer programs in Atlantic Canada and to improve the quality of patients' cancer care. Each year the meeting focuses on specific tumor sites, as well as other time sensitive topics. This year's meeting focused on the management of genitourinary and gastrointestinal malignancies.

Sponges are key ecosystem engineers that shape, structure and enhance the biodiversity of marine benthic communities globally. Sponge aggregations and reefs are recognized as vulnerable marine ecosystems (or VMEs) due to their susceptibility to damage from bottom-contact fishing gears. Ensuring their long-term sustainability, preservation, and ecosystem functions requires the implementation of sound scientific conservation tools.

Background: Infliximab and adalimumab are the only biologics thus far approved for paediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), so other biologics, such as vedolizumab, are prescribed off-label. Despite its frequent use, prospective data for vedolizumab treatment in children are available only for short-term induction outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of maintenance therapy with vedolizumab in paediatric patients with IBD.

Marine biodiversity loss is a pressing global issue, intensified by human activities and climate change. Complementary to marine protected areas (MPAs), Other Effective Area-Based Conservation Measures (OECMs) have emerged as a key tool to mitigate this loss by providing long-term biodiversity protection. However, while OECMs primarily target specific taxa, they can also offer indirect biodiversity conservation benefits (BCBs) to a wider range of taxa.

Multiple tipping points in the Earth system could be triggered when global warming exceeds specific thresholds. However, the degree of their impact on the East Asian hydroclimate remains uncertain due to the lack of quantitative rainfall records. Here we present an ensemble reconstruction of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) rainfall since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) using nine statistical and machine learning methods based on multi-proxy records from a maar lake in southern China.
