Functional Reproductive and Developmental Traits Differences Between Two Ecomorphs: Importance of Neutral Lipids.

The kelp genus presents populations recognizable by distinct morphological traits, which has raised discussions on its taxonomical status. Recently, whole genome sequencing arose global evidence of ecomorphs "" and "" being genetically distinct. In the southern hemisphere, both ecomorphs maintain a separated distribution that coincides, without overlap, in the area of 33° S.

Chemical analysis of marine microdebris pollution in macroalgae from the coastal areas of Argentina.

Marine microdebris (MDs, <5 mm) and mesodebris (MesDs, 5-25 mm), consist of various components, including microplastics (MPs), antifouling or anticorrosive paint particles (APPs), and metallic particles (Mmps), among others. The accumulation of these anthropogenic particles in macroalgae could have significant implications within coastal ecosystems because of the role of macroalgae as primary producers and their subsequent transfer within the trophic chain. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the abundance of MDs and MesDs pollution in different species of macroalgae (P.

Three-year survival and distribution of lymph node metastases in gastric cancer following neoadjuvant chemotherapy: results from a European randomized clinical trial.

Background: Adequate lymphadenectomy is an important step in gastrectomy for cancer, with a modified D2 lymphadenectomy being recommended for advanced gastric cancers. When assessing a novel technique for the treatment of gastric cancer, lymphadenectomy should be non-inferior. The aim of this study was to assess completeness of lymphadenectomy and distribution patterns between open total gastrectomy (OTG) and minimally invasive total gastrectomy (MITG) in the era of peri-operative chemotherapy.

[Surgical repair of complex ureteral injuries: three clinical cases and analysis of different technical approaches.].

There are many causesof ureteral injury being the main one iatrogenic.The reconstruction depends on the injury´s locationand length. In some complex cases, we must do ureteralreconstructions using bowel segments.
