Article Abstract

The Romanian fauna comprises two species of Aquarius Schellenberg, 1800, eight species of Gerris Fabricius, 1794 and one species of Limnoporus Stål, 1868, and we hereby update the distribution and provide insights on the phenology and ecology of all eleven species in this country. We furthermore update the distribution of the two closely related species Gerris gibbifer Schummel, 1832 and G. maculatus Tamanini, 1946 in southeastern Europe. Gerris maculatus is recorded for the first time from Hungary, Montenegro and Slovenia, and the first detailed localities from Romania and Serbia are given. All bibliographic records of G. gibbifer from Romania, Macedonia and Serbia are based on misidentification and this species is thus excluded from the faunal lists of these countries. Both G. gibbifer and G. maculatus occur in Croatia, Hungary, Ukraine, and probably Slovenia.

Objectives: A thorough understanding of common practice patterns in a particular specialty can help identify and design new interventions to improve care delivery and access to care. The goals of this study were to document current practice patterns among veterinary "neurologists" and small animal "surgeons" in the surgical management of acute canine thoracolumbar intervertebral disc extrusion, to compare approaches between these two groups and to discuss current results compared to those published in 2016.

Materials And Methods: A web-based survey was distributed in October 2024 to collect responses from board-certified and regionally recognised neurology and surgery specialists in North America and Europe.

Background: Valvular heart disease (VHD), including both non-rheumatic valvular heart disease (NRVHD) and rheumatic valvular heart disease (RVHD), is a major global health concern. Moreover, the progression of VHD to heart failure (HF) poses substantial clinical and public health challenges. In light of the global population aging, alongside increasing cardiovascular risk factors, and the additional strain imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, a timely reassessment of the VHD-related HF burden is urgently needed.

Background: The prevalence of mental disorders in Germany is associated with socioeconomic position. International studies further indicate area-level correlations linking higher levels of socioeconomic deprivation with increased mental health burdens. However, these area-level associations have not yet been systematically examined in Germany and it is unclear whether socioeconomic disparities in mental health outcomes are contingent upon area-level socioeconomic deprivation.

High-throughput phytoplankton monitoring and screening of harmful and bloom-forming algae in coastal waters with updated functional screening database.

Climate change and anthropogenic pressures alter phytoplankton phenology, distribution, and bloom frequency. Healthy phytoplankton communities are crucial for biogeochemical processes, blue carbon sequestration, and climate change mitigation. By employing high-throughput 18S V4 rRNA metabarcoding, we addressed the need for profiling phytoplankton community and response mechanisms in urbanized coastal ecosystems.

Orthohantavirus rodent hosts and genotypes in Southern South America: A narrative review.

Orthohantaviruses, family Hantaviridae, are zoonotic agents that pose a significant public health threat, particularly in South America, where they cause severe respiratory illnesses in humans. Despite their importance, knowledge gaps remain regarding the distributions of both the viruses and their rodent hosts in Southern South America, a region characterized by a great complexity of viral genotypes and reservoirs. This review provides an updated overview of orthohantavirus hosts and their associated viral genotypes in Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
