    Abstract The evaluation of the impact of wood ash, on metal uptake and transfer factor of lettuce grown on soil amended with poultry litter, digestate and its fraction was carried out. Positive (inorganic fertilizer) and negative (unamended soil) fertilization controls were included and impacts on soil fertility and crop productivity, as well as potential toxic elements’ levels, were assessed at pre and post planting period. Soil properties (e.g., plant available N and P, and water soluble elements), plant morphometry, elemental composition (e.g., total nitrogen, total carbon, total phosphorus) and nutrient uptake were determined using standard methods. There was higher nutritive content of the soil amended with whole digestate than fiber digestate resulting in its largest weight of lettuce. Ash significantly improved the impact of the amendments on the properties of the soil which was reflected in better lettuce productivity and was most applicable to the poultry litter. Based on the transfer factor and uptake of the trace metals, results show lower potential toxicity in the lettuce from the organic treatments in comparison to the inorganic fertilizer. Wood ash had positive ameliorative effects on the amended soils which makes it a suitable nutrient booster for organic fertilizers and alternative to inorganic fertilizers for leafy vegetables.

    Abstract Primary Ewing sarcoma of the kidney (ESK) is a rare and aggressive entity, with a poor prognosis. It often presents as metastatic disease with the lungs being the most common site. In adults, the occurrence of these tumors is uncommon, with patients exhibiting non-specific symptoms such as weight loss, flank pain, hematuria, and an abdominal mass. The combination of these vague clinical symptoms and the rarity of these tumors often results in a delayed diagnosis, leading to poorer outcomes for these patients. We present a case of a 38-year-old female with metastatic ESK. The patient initially presented with abdominal pain, vomiting, and a four-day history of constipation. The diagnosis was confirmed through computed tomography scans, ultrasound-guided biopsy of the lesion, and fluorescence in situ hybridization that revealed translocation of the

    Abstract Reproductive timing, location, and behavior are important characteristics that determine marine population dynamics, structure, and resilience to threats, including fishing and climate change. It is challenging to evaluate factors driving variability in these reproductive traits in wild fishes because of the difficulty observing individuals in their natural environments. In the present study, we used high‐resolution depth, temperature, and acceleration time series recorded by pop‐up satellite archival tags to (1) identify and characterize patterns in depth and acceleration that may be indicative of spawning events in large Atlantic halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), and (2) estimate the effects of individual traits (body size and sex) and environmental factors (location and temperature) on spawning time and frequency. Unique rapid rises observed in the winter depth profiles were interpreted as spawning events. The initiation of the first presumed spawning rise was negatively correlated to water temperature experienced during the prespawning season, suggesting that currently increasing water temperature in the Gulf of St. Lawrence may induce phenological change in halibut spawning time. The number of rises of batch‐spawning females was unrelated to female body size. The present study demonstrates how electronic tagging can be used for in‐depth characterization of timing, location, and behaviors associated with spawning in a large flatfish species. Such information can inform spatiotemporal management and conservation measures aiming to protect species from directed fishing and by‐catch during spawning.

    Abstract Internalized weight bias has been linked with undesirable physical and psychological health outcomes, including disordered eating. Interventions have targeted internalized weight bias and associated outcomes, but little is known about underlying mechanisms of change. Existing treatment literature suggests that drive for thinness and body image avoidance may sustain the link between internalized weight bias and disordered eating. The present study aimed to determine if drive for thinness and body image avoidance mediated the relationship between internalized weight bias and disordered eating in an ethnically diverse sample. Participants included 225 female college students aged 18-49 years (mean age = 20.4 years,

    Abstract Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a non-atherosclerotic separation of the coronary artery wall with subsequent intramural hematoma (IMH) formation in the false lumen. It can be associated with or without an intimal tear. It is clinically divided into three types based on its angiographic appearance. Most SCAD cases are seen in young or middle-aged women, especially in a peripartum state. Additionally, SCAD patients usually have fewer cardiovascular risk factors and more commonly have predisposing conditions like fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD). Patients present with features of chest pain that radiates to the left arm or neck, shortness of breath (SOB), as well as nausea and vomiting. Coronary angiography is the most widely used first-line modality to diagnose this condition. Management is usually conservative; however, invasive procedures can be utilized for high-risk patients. We present a case of a 54-year-old woman with SCAD diagnosed using coronary angiography and treated conservatively with dual-antiplatelet therapy, culminating with resolution.

    Abstract Bile acid synthesis disorders (BASD) are a group of rare autosomal recessive disorders. Of the nine different versions, BASD type 4 is characterized by a gene mutation in alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR), which is located on chromosome 5p13. These disorders generally present with a normal gamma-glutamyl transferase with cholestasis, absence of pruritis, and malabsorption of fat, which can lead to fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies. In adulthood, patients usually develop neurological sequelae. Initial testing can be done through the measurement of urine metabolites; however, confirmation of the diagnosis is achieved through whole exome sequencing. Treatment involves supplementation of oral cholic acid and modification of diet. Only 23 patients with this disease have been described. Here, we report two cases of siblings from a family in Bahrain with a novel AMACR mutation and a unique association with autoimmune antibodies alongside a literature review.

    Abstract Pathways for replacing chemical fertilisers (reliant on rock P resources) with alternative P-bearing materials require assessment of soil processes, crop nutrient acquisition and potential pollution consequences. We examined bioenergy waste materials, individually and as combined ash and anaerobic digestate in terms of plant P availability and mobility. We compared initial effects on mixing of amendments with a test soil and effects after 6-weeks pot trials, with and without wheat growth, against soil and chemical fertiliser controls. Chemical extractions, ³¹P NMR spectroscopic determination of P forms and phytase-labile P assays examined processes of P release. ³¹P NMR analysis revealed that ash comprised dominantly inorganic orthophosphate P with inherent low P solubility. Initial ash mixing with soils increased solution pH, soluble P in water (pure ash alone) and in citrate (ash alone and in blends). Digestate comprised a diverse array of orthophosphate and organically-complexed P forms, similar to the test soil P compositions, with limited P solubility on initial mixing. Following no plant incubations high water-soluble P with ash additions remained but all effects on citrate-soluble P were normalised. Incubations with plants increased water-soluble P in digestate only and blended amendment treatments relative to initial mixing. When comparing to chemical fertiliser the digestate plus ash blends led to smaller water-soluble P, but equal P in above-ground biomass after incubation. The ash-digestate C:N:P ratios and P form diversity appeared to promote microbial regulation of plant P availability versus potential leaching. The results suggest that the initial days-months are important periods for amendment interactions with soils during plant establishment and the lag before strong growth when system P mobility may induce polluted runoff. Biogeochemical P solubility controls require further study across differing soils and timescales to inform management of bioenergy wastes as fertilisers, particularly in terms of trade-offs such as crop nutrition versus system P losses.
