To evaluate the influence of dextran-containing versus dextran-free organ culture media on graft preparation characteristics and postoperative outcomes following Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK). In this single-center retrospective comparative study, 31 organ-cultured corneoscleral donor rims obtained from the Eye Bank of the University Hospital of Cologne between 2018 and 2022 were analyzed. Donor age ranged...
The garden dormouse ( Eliomys quercinus ), a native European rodent species, has disappeared from large parts of central and eastern Europe and is considered extinct in some countries. We reviewed national red lists and the available information on the occurrence and distribution of the species in all countries where it was previously reported. The garden dormouse is considered regionally extinct in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, L...
Pathogens in the garden dormouse Eliomys quercinusNARA Subscribed
Wild rodents are important reservoirs and vectors of various pathogens, and play a crucial role in the spread of zoonotic pathogens. The garden dormouse ( Eliomys quercinus ), an arboreal nocturnal rodent species native to Europe, has declined throughout much of its natural range in recent decades. The reason for this ongoing decline is not yet fully understood, but infectious diseases may play a role. This study aimed to revi...
Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels from existing ones, is essential for physiological and pathological processes such as wound healing, organ development, and tumor growth. It is a tightly regulated process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Emerging evidence shows a connection between biological clocks that regulate physiological rhythms and angiogenesis through the modulation of angiogenic fact...
Combined resistance mechanisms leading to high-level of cefiderocol resistance among NDM-like producing E. coli ST167 clinical isolatesNARA Subscribed
Summary Purpose A series of NDM-producing Escherichia coli ST167 clinical isolates exhibiting resistance to cefiderocol (FDC), with no previous exposure to this antibiotic, were analyzed in this study. Methods The antimicrobial susceptibility testing and phenotypic detection of resistance patterns (Rapid Cefiderocol NP test and MIC determination) were performed for all tested isolates. Their entire genomes were sequenced by us...
Butterflies and moths have often been suggested as suitable indicators for monitoring environmental effects on biodiversity, land use changes and management practices, and many butterfly monitoring schemes are established and run in Europe. In these monitoring programmes, the field counts are only carried out when certain, standard weather conditions considered favourable for butterflies are met. Here, we tested if the prescri...
Global Marine Flyways Identified for Long‐Distance Migrating Seabirds From Tracking DataNARA Subscribed
Aim To identify the broad‐scale oceanic migration routes (‘marine flyways’) used by multiple pelagic, long‐distance migratory seabirds based on a global compilation of tracking data. Location Global. Time Period 1989–2023. Major Taxa Studied Seabirds (Families: Phaethontidae, Hydrobatidae, Diomedeidae, Procellariidae, Laridae and Stercorariidae). Methods We collated a comprehensive global tracking dataset that included the mig...
Assessment of Anisotropic Elastic Parameters Using Laboratory Triaxial and In-Situ Pressuremeter Tests in Opalinus ClayNARA Subscribed
Opalinus Clay is a stratified shale that exhibits anisotropic deformation properties. In this work, the transversely isotropic deformation parameters of Opalinus Clay are summarized from recent undrained triaxial test campaigns. Relatively consistent values are found for Poisson’s ratios representing different orientations, regardless of the lithofacies and the effective confining stresses used in the tests. Pressuremeter test...

Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
