Article Abstract
Fibropapillomatosis (FP) threatens the survival of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) populations at a global scale, and human activities are regularly pointed as causes of high FP prevalence. However, the association of ecological factors with the disease's severity in complex coastal systems has not been well established and requires further studies. Based on a set of 405 individuals caught over ten years, this preliminary study provides the first insight of FP in Martinique Island, which is a critical development area for immature green turtles. Our main results are: (i) 12.8% of the individuals were affected by FP, (ii) FP has different prevalence and temporal evolution between very close sites, (iii) green turtles are more frequently affected on the upper body part such as eyes (41.4%), fore flippers (21.9%), and the neck (9.4%), and (iv) high densities of individuals are observed on restricted areas. We hypothesise that turtle's aggregation enhances horizontal transmission of the disease. FP could represent a risk for immature green turtles' survival in the French West Indies, a critical development area, which replenishes the entire Atlantic population. Continuing scientific monitoring is required to identify which factors are implicated in this panzootic disease and ensure the conservation of the green turtle at an international scale.

Variation in Surgical Technique for Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction in Skeletally Immature Patients: Data From the JUPITER Prospective Multicenter Study Group.
Orthop J Sports Med
February 2025
All members are listed in the Authors section at the end of this article.
Background: Management approaches and surgical techniques for patellofemoral instability (PFI) continue to lack clear clinical guidelines and indications. Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) is the most frequently used surgical procedure; however, variation in technique remains significant, particularly in skeletally immature patients.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to examine variations in MPFLR technique in skeletally immature patients as represented by 20 orthopaedic surgeons with different experience levels and specialty training backgrounds who perform a high volume of PFI surgery in this age group.

Diaphorina citri is a globally significant pest of citrus. A pest management strategy integrating flupyradifurone with Orius strigicollis has the potential to enhance control efficacy against D. citri, but its success depends on the predation efficiency of O.

Teleost peripheral blood contains a remarkably high proportion of B cells, accounting for 15%-50% of circulating lymphocytes. However, their immune responses to bacterial infection are yet to be elucidated. In the present study, 10× Genomics single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) was employed to characterize the transcriptomic landscape of peripheral blood IgM B cells in grass carp ( ) following challenge with , a major aquatic pathogen.

US Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD.
Purpose: On September 17, 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved ribociclib in combination with an aromatase inhibitor (AI) for the adjuvant treatment of adults with hormone receptor-positive, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative stage II and III early breast cancer (EBC) who are at high risk of recurrence.
Patients And Methods: The FDA approval was based on NATALEE, a randomized (1:1), open-label, multicenter, multinational trial in adults of any sex or menopausal status with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative stage II and III EBC who received ribociclib plus an AI (Ribo + AI, n = 2,549) versus an AI (n = 2,552); patients also received goserelin as clinically indicated. Ribociclib was given at 400 mg once daily (3 weeks on/1 week off) for up to 36 months.
