    Abstract Both human populations and marine biodiversity are concentrated along coastlines, with growing conservation interest in how these ecosystems can survive intense anthropogenic impacts. Tropical urban centres provide valuable research opportunities because these megacities are often adjacent to mega-diverse coral reef systems. The Pearl River Delta is a prime exemplar, as it encompasses one of the most densely populated and impacted regions in the world and is located just northwest of the Coral Triangle. However, the spatial and taxonomic complexity of this biodiversity, most of which is small, cryptic in habitat and poorly known, make comparative analyses challenging. We deployed standardized settlement structures at seven sites differing in the intensity of human impacts and used COI metabarcoding to characterize benthic biodiversity, with a focus on metazoans. We found a total of 7184 OTUs, with an average of 665 OTUs per sampling unit; these numbers exceed those observed in many previous studies using comparable methods, despite the location of our study in an urbanized environment. Beta diversity was also high, with 52% of the OTUs found at just one site. As expected, we found that the sites close to point sources of pollution had substantially lower diversity (44% less) relative to sites bathed in less polluted oceanic waters. However, the polluted sites contributed substantially to the total animal diversity of the region, with 25% of all OTUs occurring only within polluted sites. Further analysis of Arthropoda, Annelida and Mollusca showed that phylogenetic clustering within a site was common, suggesting that environmental filtering reduced biodiversity to a subset of lineages present within the region, a pattern that was most pronounced in polluted sites and for the Arthropoda. The water quality gradients surrounding the PRD highlight the unique role of in situ studies for understanding the impacts of complex urbanization pressures on biodiversity.

    Abstract Unlike machines, living systems are distinguished by the continual destruction and regeneration of their boundaries and other components. Stable Markov blankets may be a real feature of the world, or they may be merely a construction of particular models, but they are neither a feature of organisms nor of any model that can capture the necessary conditions of their existence.

    Abstract Objectives: While there is a growing body of literature on the wish to die in older patients, there is little research about their will to live. Exploring the subjective will to live (WTL) offers valuable insights into the patients' resources and motivations, which could help improving geriatric palliative care. The aim of this study was to examine, in long-term care facilities (LTCF), residents' definitions of and factors influencing their WTL.
    Methods: Twenty residents (mean age 85.8 ± 10.3 years, 70% women) of 3 Swiss LTCFs gave informed consent and participated in semi-structured interviews about their WTL. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify recurrent themes (40% double coded).
    Results: The majority of residents reported that they had not thought about the WTL. Nevertheless, they had no difficulty in describing it as innate in their lives. They spontaneously mentioned factors that contributed to their WTL, classified into 5 themes: (1) relationships - primarily with family and health professionals, secondarily with other residents; (2) living situation - the LTCF as a necessary place providing care, constant professional presence, and security, yet necessitates inconveniences such as loss of independence; (3) personality factors - positive outlook on life or spirituality; (4) engagement in routines - organized activities and individual daily routines; and (5) health status - primarily related to functional health.
    Significance of results: Examining WTL provides important insights into elements that are essential to take into account in planning care and promoting well-being in LTCF residents. The themes identified provide important starting points for improving life in LTCFs.

    Abstract Introduction: Lanadelumab is a first-line long-term prophylaxis (LTP) in hereditary angioedema (HAE). Real-life data on its long-term efficacy and safety are limited. It is unknown whether patients using lanadelumab need short-term prophylaxis (STP).
    Objectives: To provide 4-year follow-up data for our first 34 patients treating with lanadelumab.
    Methods: Patients were assessed for their current injection interval, attacks, treatment satisfaction, disease control (AECT), quality of life impairment (AE-QoL), events that can induce attacks, and the use of STP since the start of their treatment with lanadelumab.
    Results: Of 34 patients who started lanadelumab treatment, 32 were still using it after 4 years, with a median injection interval of 33 (range 14-90) days. HAE patients (n=28) reported longer intervals, i.e. 35 (14-90) days, than patients with angioedema due to acquired C1 inhibitor deficiency (n=4, 23 (14-31) days). With their current injection intervals, used for a mean duration of 29 ± 17 months, patients reported a yearly attack rate of 0.3 ± 0.1. More than 70% of patients were attack-free since starting their current injection interval. All patients reported well-controlled disease, i.e. ≥10 points in the AECT; 21 patients had complete control (16 points). AE-QoL scores improved further compared to our initial report, most prominently in the fears/shame domain (-6 points). Treatment satisfaction was very high. No angioedema occurred after 146 of 147 potentially attack-inducing medical procedures without STP.
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the long-term efficacy and safety of lanadelumab in real-life and question the need for STP in patients who use effective LTP.
