Trace elements and δN values were analysed in micronekton (crustaceans, fishes and squids) sampled in the south-western Indian Ocean. Myctophids were associated with high concentrations of arsenic at La Pérouse and MAD-Ridge seamounts, and with lead and manganese at MAD-Ridge and in the Mozambique Channel. The difference in cadmium, copper and zinc concentrations between micronekton broad categories reflected differing metabolic and storage processes. When significant, negative relationships were found between micronekton body size and trace element concentrations, which can possibly be attributed to differing metabolic activity in young and old individuals, dietary shifts and/or dilution effect of growth. No relationships were found between trace element concentrations and δN values of micronekton (except cobalt which decreased with increasing δN values), since most trace elements are not biomagnified in food webs due to regulation and excretion processes within organisms. All trace element pairs were positively correlated in fishes suggesting regulation processes.

In this study, we first verified the feasibility of using Antarctic krill as a raw material for quick-brewed fish sauce, and the results showed that the amino acid nitrogen (AAN)and total soluble nitrogen(TSN) in the fermented 30 days fish sauce met the national level fish sauce standards, but the histamine content exceeded the maximum limit value of histamine in fish sauce (400 mg/kg) set by the International Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) and the European Union (EU). On this basis, the correlation between physicochemical indexes and bacterial communities during the fermentation of fish sauce was investigated using high-throughput sequencing, culture method. The correlation analyses revealed the relationship between bacterial communities and the quality and safety of fish sauce, and these studies will be helpful for the development of Antarctic krill fish sauce.

Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Objective: In the CBT model of anorexia nervosa, emaciation is assumed to occur because individuals over-value their weight and shape. However, current BMI (for adolescents, BMI z-score) may be relevant to psychopathology beyond its relation with weight concern. We explored the relations between BMI/z-BMI and attempts to change one's eating and/or weight (restraint and eating concern) before and after controlling for weight concern among individuals with AN or atypical AN (AAN).

The European Commission (EC) has proposed to redefine 'unmet medical need' to steer pharmaceutical innovation and link the definition to incentives and regulatory tools and procedures. A multistakeholder meeting of the Regulatory Science Network Netherlands (RSNN) discussed the impact of this proposal. Four principles were highlighted (flexibility, feasibility, fairness, and sensitivity to risk) that were not considered sufficiently addressed.

Article Synopsis
- Crossbreeding beef bulls with dairy cows can enhance meat yield and calf fitness, but may affect local adaptation and increase chances of difficult births due to larger calf sizes.
- The study assessed genomic complementarity between different beef breeds and Brown Swiss dairy cows by analyzing inbreeding and identifying selection-driven genes.
- Results showed that crossbred calves had reduced inbreeding compared to BSW cows and identified 585 genes under selection, some of which correlated with lower carcass weight and protein mass in the crossbred offspring.
Intradialytic cardiovascular injury is lowest in high-volume haemodiafiltration: a randomized cross-over trial in four intermittent dialysis strategies.

Department of Nephrology, Amsterdam UMC, location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) and subsequent tissue damage may contribute to the poor outcome of chronic haemodialysis (HD) patients. While the IDH-incidence is lower in high-volume haemodiafiltration (HV-HDF) than in standard HD (S-HD), survival is better in HV-HDF. Tissue injury, as measured by extracellular vesicle (EV)-release, was compared between four modalities.
