The lionfish, Pterois volitans (Linnaeus) and miles (Bennett), invasion of the Western Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea Gulf Mexico has potential to alter aquatic communities represents a legitimate ecological concern. Several local removal programs have been initiated control this invasion, but it is not known whether efforts can substantially reduce lionfish numbers ameliorate these concerns. We used an age-structured population model evaluate efficacy identified critical data gaps for future...

P.D. MUNRO, A. BARBOUR AND T.H. BIRKBECK. 1994. Bacterial colonization of the gut turbot larvae coincided with start feeding and microflora was then dominated by Vibrio Aeromonas species. The detection similar bacterial isolates over several days indicated presence a stable during rotifer stage, probably reflecting flora in culture. There no correlation between number bacteria larval survival rates; incidences high mortalities were not associated numbers recognized fish pathogens, although...
Larval turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) were reared on rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) in the absence of culturable bacteria for up to 14 days and exhibited growth high rates survival (>55% five experiments). Low numbers known introduced into similar cultures by exposure a suspension prior addition larval cultures; Vibrio anguillarum 91079 caused highly significant decrease (P <0.01) proportion survivors two separate trials. With an Aeromonas sp. previously isolated from healthy batch...
ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical safety of antenatal and postnatal N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a neuroprotective agent in maternal chorioamnionitis randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial.Study designTwenty-two mothers >24 weeks gestation presenting within 4 hours diagnosis were randomized with their 24 infants to NAC or saline treatment. Antenatal (100 mg/kg/dose) was given intravenously every 6 until delivery. Postnatally, (12.5-25 mg/kg/dose, n = 12) (n 12 for 5 doses. Doppler studies...
Utilization of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases (BM) has increased, prompting reassessment whole radiation therapy (WBRT). A pattern care analysis SRS and WBRT dose-fractionations was performed in patients presenting with BM at the time cancer diagnosis.Adults diagnosis between 2010 to 2015 no prior malignancy were identified National Cancer Database. defined using published thresholds.

Abstract Size‐at‐age information is critical in estimating growth parameters (e.g., the von Bertalanffy function [VBGF]) that are used to assess fish populations. Due gear selectivity, single sampling methods rarely sample all ages or sizes equally well. Most estimates rely on samples from a haphazard combination of gears, potentially leading biased and imprecise parameter estimates. We evaluated efficacy combining two gears with different size selectivity estimate VBGF parameters; we then...
The effects of infrequent disturbance events on marine fishes are often difficult to determine, due largely lack sufficient pre- and post-disturbance event data. In January 2010, subtropical southwestern Florida (USA) experienced extreme cold for 13 days, which caused extensive mortality many fish species. effect this severe common snook (Centropomus undecimalis), an economically important gamefish, was assessed using three years (2007-2009) pre-event one year (2010) post-event data from a...
Summary The recent expansion of continuous‐resighting telemetry methods (e.g. acoustic receivers, PIT tag antennae) has created a class ecological data not well suited for traditional mark–recapture statistics. Estimating survival when continuous recapture is available ensues practical problem, because classical capture–recapture models were derived under discrete sampling scheme that assumes events are instantaneous with respect to the interval between events. To investigate use in...

Discussions surrounding the future of artificial intelligenc (AI) in healthcare often cause consternation among professionals. These feelings may stem from a lack formal education on AI and how to be leader implementation medical systems. To address this, our academic center hosted an educational summit exploring become healthcare. This article presents three lessons learned hosting this summit, thus providing guidance for developing curriculum topic
The paper is concerned with the classical occupancy scheme in which balls are thrown independently into infinitely many boxes, given probability of hitting each boxes. We establish joint normal approximation, as number goes to infinity, for numbers boxes containing any fixed balls, standardized natural way, assuming only that variances these counts all tend infinity. proof this approximation based on a de-Poissonization lemma. then review sufficient conditions Typically, does not mean...

Aortitis is a rare but important cause of thoracic aortic disease. We describe its histopathological patterns and associations with other pathologies systemic inflammatory disease.Database searches specimens over 17 years from two centres yielded 71 cases non-infectious aortitis. Histological verification tunica media inflammation was required for inclusion. Clinical information features were recorded.Three histological emerged--necrotising aortitis giant cells (53), diffuse band-like (16)...
