NEPTUNE Canada is a cabled ocean observatory system containing five nodes located in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Using passive acoustic data recorded at two nodes (Folger Passage Deep and Barkley Canyon Axis) between June 2010 and May 2011, we sought to quantify the levels of vessel traffic and the occurrence of biological sounds to determine the potential impact of anthropogenic sound in masking acoustic communication. The results from a comparison of the relative amplitude and occurrence of low-frequency biotic sounds to broadband sounds resulting from vessel traffic are presented. Additional contributions to the marine soundscape from self-generated instrument noise are discussed.

Background: Vertebral fractures in young populations are associated with intervertebral disc disorders later in life. However, damage to the annulus fibrosus has been observed in rapidly loaded spines even without the subsequent occurrence of a fracture. Therefore, it may not be the fracture event that compromises the disc, but rather the manner in which the disc is loaded.

This clinical practice guideline from the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) provides an evidence-based approach for strategies to diagnose and manage GERD. This document was developed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation framework and serves as an update to the 2014 ASGE guideline on the role of endoscopy in the management of GERD. This updated guideline addresses the indications for endoscopy in patients with GERD as well as in the emerging population of patients who develop GERD after sleeve gastrectomy or peroral endoscopic myotomy.

Background: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), posterior displacement of the mitral valve leaflet hinge point, predisposes to arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. We evaluated the burden of MAD, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and mitral regurgitation (MR) by heritable thoracic aortic disease gene in a cross-sectional analysis of 2014-2023 data in the Montalcino Aortic Consortium registry.

Methods And Results: MAD was determined by direct measurement of echocardiographic images.

  • * Results from the NOVA clinical trial show that while patients on Q6W dosing had lower levels of natalizumab compared to Q4W dosing, they still maintained significant clinical efficacy with most patients experiencing stable disease markers over 72 weeks.
  • * Key findings included a 23.6% increase in soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) levels in the Q6W
