Ocean warming is leading to a tropicalization of fisheries in subtropical regions around the world. Here, we scrutinize pelagic fisheries catch data from 1978 to 2018 in the South Atlantic Ocean in search of signs of tropicalization in these highly migratory and top-of-the-food-chain fish. Through the analysis of catch composition data, thermal preferences, and climatic data, we described the temporal variability in the mean temperature of the catch and assessed the role of sea surface temperature and the Brazil Current's transport volumes as drivers of such variability.

Introduction: Pressure-flow study, consisting of flow rate combined with detrusor pressure, is the gold standard to determine bladder outflow obstruction and evaluate the detrusor voiding contraction. In very young children, not able to sit on a uroflowmetry device, the flow rate cannot be measured. This results in an incomplete evaluation of bladder and urethral functions.

Duffy-negatives were previously thought to be immune to infections due to Duffy binding protein's (PvDBP1) inability to invade erythrocytes lacking Duffy antigen receptor for chemokines (DARC) expression. Nevertheless, reports of cases are growing throughout Africa and among Duffy-negative people. Although there are alternative invasion mechanisms by , the exact mechanisms in Duffy-negative individuals are unclear.
