Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the lung is an aggressive malignancy, with brain metastases (BM) occurring in approximately 20% of cases. There are currently no therapy guidelines for this population as only few data on the management of LCNEC and BM have been published. For this retrospective single center study, patients with LCNEC and BM were identified from the Vienna Brain Metastasis Registry. Data on clini...
Clinical characteristics, treatment, and long-term outcome of patients with brain metastases from thyroid cancerNARA Subscribed
Brain metastases (BM) in patients with thyroid cancer (TC) are rare with an incidence of 1% for papillary and follicular, 3% for medullary and up to 10% for anaplastic TC (PTC, FTC, MTC and ATC). Little is known about the characteristics and management of BM from TC. Thus, we retrospectively analyzed patients with histologically verified TC and radiologically verified BM identified from the Vienna Brain Metastasis Registry. A...
The Visayan Sea is one of the major traditional fishing grounds in the Philippines and is likewise considered as a top contributor to the country’s overall fisheries production. However, fisheries surveys conducted over the past couple of decades have documented changes in the abundance and composition of catches and stocks toward an increasing dominance of invertebrates and low trophic levels fish families. Assessments of the...
Binding Stability of Antibody—α-Synuclein Complexes Predicts the Protective Efficacy of Anti-α-synuclein AntibodiesNARA Subscribed
Spreading of alpha-synuclein (αSyn) may play an important role in Parkinson’s disease and related synucleinopathies. Passive immunization with anti-αSyn antibodies is a promising method to slow down the spreading process and thereby the progression of synucleinopathies. Currently, it remains elusive which specific characteristics are essential to render therapeutic antibodies efficacious. Here, we established a neuronal co-cul...
The coast of Peru lies within the tropics under the influence of the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Humboldt Current and the interannual onslaught of the El Niño phenomenon. The Peruvian upwelling system is exceptionally productive and is comprised of subsystems at different scales along the coast. We aimed to understand the differences between two shallow coastal systems along a latitudinal gradient: Sechura Bay in the nor...
Comparative assessment of food web structure and fisheries productivity of three reservoirs in GhanaNARA Subscribed
Three Ghanaian reservoirs (Tono, Bontanga and Golinga) were compared through a food web modelling approach (Ecopath with Ecosim) to assess production characteristics and food web structures. The lakes differ in size and morphology, generating specific conditions for fish growth and production. While the two top fishery target species were Sarotherodon galilaeus (L.) and Oreochromis niloticus (L.) in all reservoirs, the mean tr...
Encouraging people’s pro-environmental behaviors is an objective of Education for Sustainable Development. In the context of small-scale fisheries, unsustainable fishing practices are compromising the integrity of coastal communities and ecosystems. Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) is an ecosystem modeling software that presents interactions/changes in the food web as a result of fishing. Despite the multiple applications of EwE in f...
The South Pacific bay scallop Argopecten purpuratus represents a high‐value species harvested along the Peruvian and Chilean coastline for more than 60 years. Following the strong El Niño event of 1983/84, both countries experienced a boom in scallop fisheries, but catches dropped as soon as environmental conditions normalized. Aquaculture production began in Chile, which dominated the Latin American scallop market in the 1990...
