Hyperthermia within the first 24 h following ischemic stroke (IS) has been associated with poor outcomes. We sought to determine whether blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability contributes to the relationship between hyperthermia and early infarct growth (EIG). A retrospective analysis was conducted on a prospective stroke biobank. EIG was defined as the percentage difference between the initial volume (mL) determined by the di...

Rainbow vent field is one of the most metal‐contaminated hydrothermal sites on the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge near the Azores region. Two hydrothermal shrimp species dominate the fauna at the Rainbow site along with the mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus . Although the levels of essential and non‐essential metals in these shrimps have been studied, the biological consequences of a metal‐rich environment are still largely unknown. Therefore...
