    Abstract AIM: Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are unique communities that support a high proportion of depth‐endemic species distinct from shallow‐water coral reefs. However, there is currently little consensus on the boundaries between shallow and mesophotic coral reefs and between upper versus lower MCEs because studies of these communities are often site specific. Here, we examine the ecological evidence for community breaks, defined here as species loss, in fish and benthic taxa between shallow reefs and MCEs globally. LOCATION: Global MCEs. TIME PERIOD: 1973–2017. MAJOR TAXA STUDIED: Macrophytes, Porifera, Scleractinia, Hydrozoa, Octocorallia, Antipatharia and teleost fishes. METHODS: We used random‐effects models and breakpoint analyses on presence/absence data to identify regions of higher than expected species loss along a depth gradient of 1–69 m, based on a meta‐analysis of 26 studies spanning diverse photoautotrophic and heterotrophic taxa. We then investigated the extent to which points of high faunal turnover can be explained by environmental factors, including light, temperature and nutrient availability. RESULTS: We found evidence for a community break, indicated by a significant loss of shallow‐water taxa, at ~ 60 m across several taxonomically and functionally diverse benthic groups and geographical regions. The breakpoint in benthic composition is best explained by decreasing light, which is correlated with the optical depths between 10 and 1% of surface irradiance. A concurrent shift in the availability of nutrients, both dissolved and particulate organic matter, and a shift from photoautotroph to heterotroph‐dominated assemblages also occurs at ~ 60 m depth. MAIN CONCLUSIONS: We found evidence for global community breaks across multiple benthic taxa at ~ 60 m depth, indicative of distinct community transitions between shallow and mesophotic coral ecosystems. Changes in the underwater light environment and the availability of trophic resources along the depth gradient are the most parsimonious explanations for the observed patterns.

  4. Article ; Online: Evaluation of phrenic nerve and diaphragm function with peripheral nerve stimulation and M-mode ultrasonography in potential pediatric phrenic nerve or diaphragm pacing candidates.

    Abstract Assessing phrenic nerve function in the setting of diaphragmatic paralysis in diaphragm pacing candidates can be challenging. Traditional imaging modalities and electrodiagnostic evaluations are technically difficult. Either modality alone is not a direct measure of the function of the phrenic nerve and diaphragm unit. In this article, the authors present their method for evaluating phrenic nerve function and the resulting diaphragm function. Stimulating the phrenic nerve with transcutaneous stimulation and directly observing the resulting movement of the hemidiaphragm with M-mode ultrasonography provides quantitative data for predicting the success of advancing technologies such as phrenic nerve pacing and diaphragm pacing.

    Abstract Understanding if (and how) adults with cancer perceived their physical activity (PA) levels have changed (or not) since the COVID-19 pandemic and why this may have occurred is important. Given current gaps in knowledge, the purpose of this study was to explore PA experiences among adults with cancer amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals were eligible if they were currently ≥19 years of age, had been diagnosed with cancer ≥18 years of age, and were living in Canada. 113 adults affected by cancer (M

    Abstract Background: We describe a case of primary herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection imitating preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) and review the intricacies of establishing the diagnosis.
    Case presentation: At 18 weeks of gestation, a patient was referred for suspected PPROM following leakage of fluid and a positive nitrazine test. The patient had a swollen inguinal lymph node, intermittent fevers, transaminitis, labial lesions, and cervical ulceration with vaginal discharge. Amniotic fluid volume was normal. An HSV PCR test was positive. Intravenous acyclovir followed by oral valacyclovir resulted in resolution of symptoms.
    Conclusion: Discharge from HSV cervicitis can present as nitrazine-positive pooling, imitating PPROM. A high index of suspicion is warranted, especially when the amniotic fluid volume is normal and arborization is not seen on microscopic exam.

    Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of BMI on the short-term outcomes of patients undergoing lung lobectomy. Methods: This was a retrospective clinical cohort study conducted in a single institution to assess the short-term outcomes of obese patients undergoing lung resection. Intraoperative and postoperative parameters were compared between the two study subgroups: obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) and non-obese patients (BMI <30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>). Results: In total, 203 patients were enrolled in the study (70 obese and 133 non-obese patients). Both study subgroups were comparable with regards to demographics, clinical data and surgical approach (thoracoscopy vs. thoracotomy). The surgery time was significantly longer in obese patients (p = 0.048). There was no difference in the frequency of intraoperative complications between the study subgroups (p = 0.635). The postoperative hospital stay was similar in both study subgroups (p = 0.366). A 30-day postoperative morbidity was higher in a subgroup of non-obese patients (33.8% vs. 21.7%), but the difference was not significant (p = 0.249). In the subgroup of non-obese patients, a higher frequency of mild and severe postoperative complications was observed. However, the differences between the study subgroups were not statistically significant due to the borderline p-value (p = 0.053). The 30-day postoperative mortality was comparable between obese and non-obese patients (p = 0.167). Conclusions: Obesity does not increase the incidence and severity of intraoperative and postoperative complications after lung lobectomy. Slightly better outcomes in obese patients indicate that obesity paradox might be a reality in patients undergoing lung resection.
