Quantitative 52Fe scans were performed in 180 patients. Expansion of bone marrow was observed in 70. This bone marrow expansion was a nearly constant feature in haemolytic anaemia and in sideroblastic anaemia. It occurred in a third of the patients with myelofibrosis. In patients with polycythaemia rubra vera, expansion was noticed in only two out of seven. Erythropoiesis in expansion areas occurred despite persistence of fat in the iliac crest bone marrow biopsy. It could exist with a slight increase in erythropoiesis and might develop only after a long period of erythropoietic stimulation. Increased marrow activity can take place without erythropoietic expansion in long bones. The fraction of iron uptake in expansion areas did not exceed a third of total marrow iron uptake. With increasing erythropoiesis, the increase in iron uptake in expansion areas was less marked than the increase in the central areas. Erythropoiesis in expansion areas was usually not of major quantitative importance but could nevertheless reach the erythropoiesis of a normal adult.

Land use and land cover changes (LULCC) alter local surface attributes, thereby modifying energy balance and material exchanges, ultimately impacting meteorological parameters and air quality. The North China Plain (NCP) has undergone rapid urbanization in recent decades, leading to dramatic changes in land use and land cover. This study utilizes the 2020 land use and land cover data obtained from the MODIS satellite to replace the default 2001 data in the Weather Research and Forecasting-Community Multiscale Air Quality (WRF-CMAQ) model.

Ecological and anthropogenic drivers of local extinction and colonization of giant pandas over the past 30 years.

Understanding the patterns and drivers of species range shifts is essential to disentangle mechanisms driving species' responses to global change. Here, we quantified local extinction and colonization dynamics of giant pandas (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) using occurrence data collected by harnessing the labor of >1000 workers and >60,000 worker days for each of the three periods (TP1: 1985-1988, TP2: 1998-2002, and TP3: 2011-2014), and evaluated how these patterns were associated with (1) protected area, (2) local rarity/abundance, and (3) abiotic factors (i.e.

Intramolluscan stages of digeneans parasitizing the pest apple snail Pomacea canaliculata from Argentina: Molecular identification and histopathology.

J Invertebr Pathol

January 2025

Instituto de Investigaciones en Producción Sanidad y Ambiente (IIPROSAM), CONICET-Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata, Centro de Asociación Simple CIC-PBA, Juan B. Justo 2550, 7600 Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina.

Pomacea canaliculata is a highly successful invasive snail that shapes freshwater communities in both native and invaded habitats. We studied its digenean parasites from three freshwater bodies in its native distribution area in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. An integrated approach was used to determine and describe the larval stages of digenean, including morphological, molecular, and histopathology analyses.

Advances in analytical scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and in microelectronic mechanical systems (MEMS) based microheaters have enabled in-situ materials' characterization at the nanometer scale at elevated temperature. In addition to resolving the structural information at elevated temperatures, detailed knowledge of the local temperature distribution inside the sample is essential to reveal thermally induced phenomena and processes. Here, we investigate the accuracy of plasmon energy expansion thermometry (PEET) as a method to map the local temperature in a tungsten (W) lamella in a range between room temperature and 700 °C.

Rapid population expansion has made food security a global concern for humanity, necessitating a sustainable assessment of natural resources. Well evaluated and managed soil is one of the most significant resources that can assist close the gap between supply and demand for food to attain food security. A precise assessment of land productivity (LP) is essential for sustainable land use management.
