Because of its rapid progression and frequently poor prognosis, stroke is the third major cause of death in Europe and the first one in China. Many independent studies demonstrated sufficient space for prevention interventions in the primary care of ischemic stroke defined as the most cost-effective protection of vulnerable subpopulations against health-to-disease transition. Although several studies identified molecular patte...

The spatial and seasonal distributions of stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) in dominant zooplankton groups were investigated in Jiaozhou Bay. Zooplankton δ 13 C values ranged from −22.89‰ to −15.86‰, and δ 15 N values ranged from 3.18‰ to 13.57‰, respectively. The δ 13 C and δ 15 N values generally followed the order of small zooplankton < large calanoids < small Sagitta < large Sagitta . Spatial distribu...
