Article Abstract
Exploratory cruises by the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer have resulted in a substantial contribution in our understanding of deep-sea echinoderm biodiversity, biology, and ecology in the North Atlantic. This includes the description and in situ feeding observations of two, new corallivorous goniasterid species, Evoplosoma nizinskiae n. sp. and Sibogaster bathyheuretor n. sp. Significant in situ observations include a synchronous feeding event including multiple goniasterid asteroids and a cidaroid urchin on a large demosponge, providing new data for understanding echinoderm feeding behavior, including agonistic behavior, in deep-sea settings and new, in situ feeding observations for 28 deep-sea species including the myxasterid Pythonaster atlantidis, the korethrasterid Remaster palmatus and the poorly understood hippasterine goniasterids, Gilbertaster caribaea and Sthenaster emmae.

Geographic variation in the racial and ethnic disparity in heat-related death.

College of Medicine, 520W St NW, WA DC 20059, USA.
Background: Non-Hispanic African Americans were reported to have a higher rate of heat-related death than non-Hispanic whites. It is not known whether this racial disparity varies among US regions.
Methods: Multiple cause of death data were used to tabulate heat-related death records which listed ICD-10 codes X30 (exposure to excessive natural heat), P81.
Reef fish community structure across an ecological transition zone.

Transition zones exhibit a unique combination of abiotic characteristics derived from the merging of two distinct areas, hosting communities with different thermal tolerance and distribution ranges. Given these characteristics, these zones are key to unmasking the effects of climate change on biodiversity since rapid changes in the sea temperature can favor some populations more than others. This study aimed to investigate the community structure of reef fish in seven islands of the southwestern Atlantic in a transition zone.

The sea cucumber is an important holothuroid species inhabiting the eastern North Atlantic Ocean benthic zone at depths from about 20 - 3000 m. Geographical distribution is from the Barents Sea in the north to the Canary Islands in the south. Along with the increasing commercial interest of new sea cucumber species, research into sea cucumber biology has also advanced.

Division of Thoracic Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, Worcester, MA, 01608, USA.
The objective of this study is to analyze national trends in the adoption of robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) for lung cancer resections compared to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and open approaches across geographic regions and institution types in the National Cancer Database (NCDB). A retrospective cohort study was performed of adults who underwent a lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer between 2010 and 2021 in the NCDB. Data were stratified by facility type, surrounding area population, and geographic location.

The Atlantic blue crab (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun, 1896) is a euryhaline and eurythermal species native to the Atlantic coasts of the Americas. Although its widespread distribution across the Mediterranean basin is well documented, information on its reproductive patterns remains limited. This study focused on the combination of both macroscopic and histologic characterization of ovarian developmental stages in female blue crabs along the north-central Italian Adriatic coast, within the spawning period.
