Connectivity between migrating and landlocked populations of a diadromous fish species investigated using otolith microchemistry.
Tulp I, Keller M, Navez J, Winter HV, de Graaf M, Baeyens W
Smelt Osmerus eperlanus has two different life history strategies in The Netherlands. The migrating population inhabits the Wadden Sea and spawns in freshwater areas. After the closure of the Afsluitdijk in 1932, part of the smelt population became landlocked. The fresh water smelt population has been in severe decline since 1990, and has strongly negatively impacted the numbers of piscivorous water birds relying on smelt as their main prey. The lakes that were formed after the dike closure, IJs...

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma presenting with anasarca-type edema and acute renal failure.
Bilgili SG, Yılmaz D, Soyoral YU, Karadag AS, Bayram I
Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is a rare extra nodal subtype (usually of B-cell origin) presenting with infiltration of large neoplastic lymphocytes into lumina of blood vessels, leading to vascular occlusion. The early diagnosis is very crucial, however it is usually diagnosed postmortem investigation in most of the cases. A 56-year-old female presented with elevated creatinine level, and anasarca-type edema that superimposed with hard, indurated, erythematous plaques extending to inguinal region...

Image-guided cancer surgery using near-infrared fluorescence.
Vahrmeijer AL, Hutteman M, van der Vorst JR, van de Velde CJ, Frangioni JV
Paradigm shifts in surgery arise when surgeons are empowered to perform surgery faster, better and less expensively than current standards. Optical imaging that exploits invisible near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent light (700-900 nm) has the potential to improve cancer surgery outcomes, minimize the time patients are under anaesthesia and lower health-care costs largely by way of its improved contrast and depth of tissue penetration relative to visible light. Accordingly, the past few years have wi...

Embryology of the heart and its impact on understanding fetal and neonatal heart disease.
Gittenberger-de Groot AC, Bartelings MM, Poelmann RE, Haak MC, Jongbloed MR
Heart development is a complex process during which the heart needs to transform from a single tube towards a fully septated heart with four chambers and a separated outflow tract. Several major events contribute to this process, that largely overlap in time. Abnormal heart development results in congenital heart disease, which has an estimated incidence of 1% of liveborn children. Eighty percent of cases of congenital heart disease are considered to have a multifactoral developmental background...
