Biodiversity shortfalls and taxonomic bias can lead to inaccurate assessment of conservation priorities. Previous literature has begun to explore practical reasons why some species are discovered sooner or are better researched than others. However, the deeper socio-cultural causes for undiscovered and neglected biodiversity, and the value of collectively analysing species at risk of unrecorded, or "dark", extinction, are yet to be fully examined.

In this regard, families play a vital role in supporting the patient, who can effectively contribute to preserving their dignity.

Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) is a prognostically negative event following hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). While cGVHD mainly affects the muscles, skin, oral mucosa, eyes, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, and liver, central nervous system (CNS) involvement remains possible and, moreover, is rare when it occurs isolated. CNS-cGVHD can manifest with a wide spectrum of CNS disorders, including cerebrovascular diseases, autoimmune demyelinating diseases, and immune-mediated encephalitis.

Amphibian conservation concerns frequently center on the idea of 'saving' them, with the underlying assumption they are the passive victims of anthropogenic environmental change. But this approach ignores the physiological, biochemical, and behavioral flexibility amphibians have employed since they first evolved ~365 million years ago. One overlooked advantage amphibians possess in the struggle for survival, and one humans might use in their efforts to conserve them, is their brains share the same blueprint as human brains, which allows them to acquire knowledge and understanding through experiences-in other words, amphibians have cognitive capabilities that assist them in their effort to survive.

Cancer cells exhibit abnormal behavior compared to normal cells. They ignore growth arrest signals such as contact inhibition, a mechanism that stops their proliferation when they collide with surrounding cells, and proliferate in an uncontrolled manner, destroying tissue. Early detection and treatment of cancer are therefore important for healthy longevity.
