description: Hollowsnout grenadier (Coelorinchus caelorhincus) collected from several locations in the Strait of Sicily (southern Sicilian coasts) were examined for the presence of Lophoura edwardsi, a parasitic copepod. A total of 94 out of 924 C. caelorhincus were parasitized. Each parasite was attached with the cephalosome buried deep in the dorsal musculature of the host. The parasite caused skin ulceration and deep lesions resulting in granulomatous and inflammatory reactions extending deep into the musculature of the host. A longitudinal gradient (W-E) in parasite presence was detected with prevalence ranging from 0 to 34.6%. This study establishes the record for the shallowest finding of the genus Lophoura, just below 100 m. A negative correlation was found between prevalence vs depth and host length. No copepods were observed on C. caelorhincus longer than 70 mm (pre-anal length). Epidemiological data from experimental trawl surveys combined with GIS modelling of marine parasites might result in better management of marine resources. The wide spatial coverage, such as that investigated by MEDITS trawl surveys, may allow a distribution analysis of marine parasites that would prove to be extremely useful in identifying deep-sea fish stocks.

description: Obesity is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the U.S., the prevalence of obesity is higher in African Americans than whites, even after adjustment for socioeconomic status. This leads to the hypothesis that differences in genetic background may contribute to racial/ethnic differences in obesity-related traits. We tested this hypothesis by conducting a genome-wide admixture mapping scan using 1,350 ancestry-informative SNPs in 3,531 self-identified blacks from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. We used these markers to estimate the overall proportions of European ancestry (PEA) for each individual and then scanned for the association between PEA and obesity-related traits (both continuous and dichotomous) at each locus. The median (interquartile range) PEA was 0.151 (0.115). PEA was inversely correlated with continuous body mass index (BMI), weight, and subscapular skinfold thickness, even after adjusting for socioeconomic factors. In contrast, PEA was positively correlated with BMI-adjusted waist circumference. Using admixture mapping on dichotomized traits, we identified a locus on 2p23.3 to be suggestively associated with BMI (locus-specific LOD = 4.11) and weight (locus-specific LOD = 4.07). After adjusting for global PEA, each additional copy of a European ancestral allele at the 2p23.3 peak was associated with a BMI decrease of ∼0.92 kg/m2 (p = 2.9 × 10-5). Further mapping in this region on chromosome 2 may be able to uncover causative variants underlying obesity, which may offer insights into the control of energy homeostasis.

description: The present study summarizes information on the incidental catches of cetaceans and the catch composition of turbot bottom gillnet fisheries between March 2010 and September 2011 along the Rize coast in the southeastern Black Sea, Turkey. A total of 723 specimens (133 Scophthalmus maeoticus, 507 Raja clavata, 8 Squalus acanthias, 71 Phocoena phocoena, 4 Delphinus delphis) were recorded from 136 turbot gill net fishing operations. The 'danger index' or catch per unit effort (CPUE, individuals per km.day of netting) for cetaceans was 0.09 ± 0.028 in 2010, 0.15 ± 0.032 in 2011 and 0.13 ± 0.023 overall for P. phocoena and < 0.003 overall for D. delphis. Monthly CPUE values for target S. maeoticus and non-target species R. clavata, and P. phocoena were similar in all years. An increasing CPUE trend between April and June was evident for target and non-target species in 2010 and 2011. The CPUE of P. phocoena was estimated highest in May as 0.18 ± 0.088 in 2010 and in April as 0.26 ± 0.086 in 2011. A similar pattern was evident for S. maeoticus and R. clavata. One-way ANOVA showed that no statistical significant difference of target and non-target species CPUE among 2010, 2011 and all data (P > 0.05). No new net damage due to cetacean interactions with the turbot gill nets was detected.

description: Black women suffer a disproportionately higher rate of obesity than their white counterparts. Reasons for this racial disparity may reflect underlying differences in the appetite suppressing peptide-YY (PYY). The PYY response to food is differentially influenced by macronutrient content but the effect of glycemic load on PYY response is unknown. This study examined whether glycemic load influences fasting and postprandial PYY levels and whether fasting and postprandial PYY levels are lower in obese black women compared to normal weight black women and to white women. Data were collected from 40 women (20 black, 20 white; 10 each normal weight vs. obese) at the University of North Carolina Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC). Participants completed in counterbalanced order two 4½-day weight-maintenance, mixed macronutrient high vs. low glycemic load diets followed by a test meal of identical composition. Total PYY levels were assessed before and after each test meal. Results show no differences in fasting PYY levels but significantly less postprandial PYY area under the curve (PYYAUC) in the group of obese black women compared to each other group (race × obesity interaction, P < 0.04). PYYAUC was positively related to insulin sensitivity (P < 0.004) but was not affected by glycemic load (main and interactive effects, P > 0.27). These findings indicate that postprandial PYY secretion is not affected by glycemic load but is blunted in obese black women compared with normal weight black women and with white women; additionally, they begin to address whether blunted PYY secretion contributes uniquely to the pathogenesis of obesity in black women.

description: The complex interplay between genes and environment affecting body mass gain over lifecycle periods of risk is not well understood. We use longitudinal sibling cohort data to examine the role of shared household environment, additive genetic, and shared genetic effects on Body Mass Index (BMI) and BMI change. In the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, siblings and twin pairs sharing households for ≥10 years as adolescents (N=5524; mean=16.5±1.7 years) were followed into young adulthood (N = 4368; mean=22.4±1.8 years). Using a variance component approach, we quantified genetic and household effects on BMI in siblings and non-siblings sharing household environments over time. Adjusting for race, age, sex, and age by sex interaction, we detected a heritability of 0.43±0.05 for BMI change. Significant household effects were noted during the young adulthood time period only (0.11±0.06). We find evidence for shared genetic effects between BMI and BMI change during adolescence [Genetic Correlation (ρG)=0.61±0.03] and young adulthood (ρG=0.23±0.06). Our findings support a complex etiology of BMI and BMI change.

description: The study analysed the impact of grower feeds including 45, 42 and 40% crude protein for cultured European sea bass in earthen ponds with 2.83 salinity during 365 days between January and December 2015 and 20% crude fat in all three groups, on grow-out performance of fish and feed evaluation rates. In the study, 120 000 fish of which starting weight is 95.16 ± 12.02 g were used and 20 000 fish were stocked in each pond with two replicates. As a result of the trial, the fish reached live weight at 430.3 ± 28.28 g, 506.5 ± 12.02 g and 397.5 ± 13.53 g, respectively. Feed conversion rates (FCR) of the fish were 1.50 ± 0.03, 1.13 ± 0.02 and 1.42 ± 0.09, respectively. At the end of the study, the best growing performance and FCR were provided with growing feeds including 42% crude protein.

description: The modelling of the adherence energy during peeling of Pressure Sensitive Adhesives (PSA) has received much attention since the 1950's, uncovering several factors that aim at explaining their high adherence on most substrates, such as the softness and strong viscoelastic behaviour of the adhesive, the low thickness of the adhesive layer and its confinement by a rigid backing. The more recent investigation of adhesives by probe-tack methods also revealed the importance of cavitation and stringing mechanisms during debonding, underlining the influence of large deformations and of the related non-linear response of the material, which also intervenes during peeling. Although a global modelling of the complex coupling of all these ingredients remains a formidable issue, we report here some key experiments and modelling arguments that should constitute an important step forward. We first measure a non-trivial dependence of the adherence energy on the loading geometry, namely through the influence of the peeling angle, which is found to be separable from the peeling velocity dependence. This is the first time to our knowledge that such adherence energy dependence on the peeling angle is systematically investigated and unambiguously demonstrated. Secondly, we reveal an independent strong influence of the large strain rheology of the adhesives on the adherence energy. We complete both measurements with a microscopic investigation of the debonding region. We discuss existing modellings in light of these measurements and of recent soft material mechanics arguments, to show that the adherence energy during peeling of PSA should not be associated to the propagation of an interfacial stress singularity. The relevant deformation mechanisms are actually located over the whole adhesive thickness, and the adherence energy during peeling of PSA should rather be associated to the energy loss by viscous friction and by rate-dependent elastic hysteresis.

description: Monstrilloid copepods collected during zooplankton surveys carried out in Turkish coastal waters of the southern Black Sea were examined. A total of 3 species were found, of which two are undescribed, one of Cymbasoma Thompson, 1888 and one of Monstrillopsis Sars, 1921. The new species are described, illustrated and compared herein with their congeners. The new Cymbasoma belongs to a small group of species with the fifth leg exopodal lobe bearing two long outer setae and a minute inner seta; it can be distinguished by the shape of the genital somite and the asymmetry of the fifth leg endopodal lobes. The new Monstrillopsis is unique in having an unfused distal spine on the distal segment of the male antennule and paired processes at the base of the genital lappets. We also recorded the presumably widespread Monstrilla grandis Giesbrecht, 1893. The male specimen examined has some remarkable characters, particularly in the swimming legs 1-4, including a reduced, modified inner seta on the second segment of both first leg endopodal rami. Also, the inner seta of the first endopodal segment of legs 1-3 is absent and is present only on leg 4. Males of this species are less common than females; its intraspecific morphological variability compared with previous illustrated reports. The addition of the new species here described brings the number of nominal species of Monstrilloida in the Mediterranean-Black Sea region to 28.

description: We introduce a new kind of space-filling brane, which we term "G-brane" because its action is a descendant of the gravitational action. The G-brane may be thought of as the remanent of the gravitational field when the propagating gravitons are removed. The G-brane is different from the Dirac or Nambu space-filling branes. Its properties in any spacetime dimension D are exhibited. When the spacetime dimension D is greater than or equal to three, the G-brane does not possess propagating degrees of freedom, just as the Dirac or Nambu branes. For D=3 the G-brane yields a reformulation of gravitation theory in which the Hamiltonian constraints can be solved explicitly, while keeping the spacetime structure manifest. For D=2 the G-brane provides a realization of the conformal algebra, i.e. a conformal field theory, in terms of two scalar fields and their conjugates, which possesses a classical central charge. In the G-brane reformulation of (2+1) gravity, the boundary degrees of freedom of the gravitational field in asymptotically anti-de Sitter space appear as "matter" coupled to the (1+1) G-brane on the boundary.

description: Favorable health outcomes at 2 years postbariatric surgery have been reported. With exception of the Swedish Obesity Subjects (SOS) study, these studies have been surgical case series, comparison of surgery types, or surgery patients compared to subjects enrolled in planned nonsurgical intervention. This study measured gastric bypass effectiveness when compared to two separate severely obese groups not participating in designed weight-loss intervention. Three groups of severely obese subjects (N = 1,156, BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2) were studied: gastric bypass subjects (n = 420), subjects seeking gastric bypass but did not have surgery (n = 415), and population-based subjects not seeking surgery (n = 321). Participants were studied at baseline and 2 years. Quantitative outcome measures as well as prevalence, incidence, and resolution rates of categorical health outcome variables were determined. All quantitative variables (BMI, blood pressure, lipids, diabetes-related variables, resting metabolic rate (RMR), sleep apnea, and health-related quality of life) improved significantly in the gastric bypass group compared with each comparative group (all P < 0.0001, except for diastolic blood pressure and the short form (SF-36) health survey mental component score at P < 0.01). Diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension resolved much more frequently in the gastric bypass group than in the comparative groups (all P < 0.001). In the surgical group, beneficial changes of almost all quantitative variables correlated significantly with the decrease in BMI. We conclude that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery when compared to severely obese groups not enrolled in planned weight-loss intervention was highly effective for weight loss, improved health-related quality of life, and resolution of major obesity-associated complications measured at 2 years.

description: No longitudinal analyses using national data have evaluated the increase in obesity from adolescence into early adulthood. We examined obesity incidence, persistence, and reversal in a nationally representative cohort of US teens followed into their early 30’s, using measured height and weight data, in individuals enrolled in wave II (1996; 12–21 years), wave III (2001; 17–26 years), and wave IV (2008 early release data; 24–32 years) of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health [N=8,675]. Obesity was defined as a BMI≥95th percentile of the 2000 CDC/NCHS growth charts for adolescents or ≥30 kg/m2for individuals ≤20 years and ≥30 kg/m2 in individuals>20 years. In 1996, 13.3% of adolescents were obese. By 2008, obesity prevalence increased to 36.1%, and was highest among non-Hispanic black females (54.8%). Ninety percent of the obese adolescents remained obese in 2008. While annual obesity incidence did not decline in the total sample across the 2 study intervals (2.3% per year 1996–2001 vs. 2.2% per year 2001–2008), rates among white females declined (2.7% to 1.9% per year) and were highest among non-Hispanic black and Hispanic females (3.8% and 2.7% per year, 1996–2001 vs. 3.0% and 2.6% per year, respectively, 2002–2008). Obesity prevalence doubled from adolescence to the early 20’s, and doubled again from the early to late 20’s or early 30’s, with strong tracking from adolescence into adulthood. This trend is likely to continue owing to high rates of pediatric obesity. Effective preventive and treatment efforts are critically needed.

description: Postpartum weight retention plays an important role in the pathway leading to obesity among women of childbearing age. The objective of this study was to examine predictors of moderate (1–10 pounds) and high (>10 pounds) postpartum weight retention using data from a prospective pregnancy cohort that followed women into the postpartum period; n=688 and 550 women at 3 and 12 months, respectively. Analysis included descriptive statistics and predictive modeling using log-binomial techniques. The average weight retained at 3 and 12 months postpartum in this population was 9.4 lbs (SD=11.4) and 5.7 lbs (SD=13.2) respectively. At 3- months postpartum, prepregnancy weight, gestational weight gain, and hours slept during the night were associated with moderate or high weight retention while having an infant hospitalized after going home and scoring in the upper 75th percentile of the eating attitudes test were associated only with high weight retention. At 12- months postpartum, prepregnancy weight, gestational weight gain and maternal education were associated with moderate weight retention and gestational weight gain, maternal age, race, employment status, and having an infant hospitalized at birth were associated with high weight retention. The results of this study illustrate the importance of prepregnancy weight and gestational weight gain in predicting postpartum weight retention. Furthermore, given the lack of successful intervention studies that exist to date to help women lose weight in the postpartum period, the results of this study may help to inform future interventions that focus on such aspects as hours of sleep, dealing with stress associated with a hospitalized infant, and non-clinical eating disorder symptomatology.

description: In a recently published study we observed that significant changes in the cellular and molecular levels that associated with the accumulation of heavy metals in liver of a sentinel fish species Variola louti collected from Al-Badhae site, which received a partial treated municipal sewage, located along the Jeddah Red Sea coast. The present study was aimed to evaluate pesticide, antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes V. louti to assess the impact of sewage. The concentration of heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Ni, Pb, Cd, Cr and Zn) in water from polluted area was significantly higher (P < 0.05) than those taken from reference area. Acetylcholinesterase was increased 8.8-10.5 folds in reference area than that in polluted area (P < 0.001). On the contrary, the activities of catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase and glutathione-S- transferase were significantly higher in polluted area than that in reference area. In conclusion, the high level of heavy metals in water of polluted area had the most effect on the antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. The low level of AChE indicated the presence of the high levels of pesticides in polluted area. These results supported that the sewage should be completely treated before draining in Red Sea.

description: BACKGROUND: Rapid progress over the past decade has been made with the development of the 'Artificial Pancreas', also known as the closed-loop system, which emulates the feedback glucose-responsive functionality of the pancreatic beta cell. The recent FDA approval of the first hybrid closed-loop system makes the Artificial Pancreas a realistic therapeutic option for people with type 1 diabetes. In anticipation of its advent into clinical care, we provide a primer and appraisal of this novel therapeutic approach in type 1 diabetes for healthcare professionals and non-specialists in the field. DISCUSSION: Randomised clinical studies in outpatient and home settings have shown improved glycaemic outcomes, reduced risk of hypoglycaemia and positive user attitudes. User input and interaction with existing closed-loop systems, however, are still required. Therefore, management of user expectations, as well as training and support by healthcare providers are key to ensure optimal uptake, satisfaction and acceptance of the technology. An overview of closed-loop technology and its clinical implications are discussed, complemented by our extensive hands-on experience with closed-loop system use during free daily living. CONCLUSIONS: The introduction of the artificial pancreas into clinical practice represents a milestone towards the goal of improving the care of people with type 1 diabetes. There remains a need to understand the impact of user interaction with the technology, and its implication on current diabetes management and care.

description: Prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) is a widely used marker of maternal nutritional status that relies on maternal self-report of prepregnancy weight and height. Pregravid BMI has been associated with adverse health outcomes for the mother and infant, but the impact of BMI misclassification on measures of effect has not been quantified. The authors applied published probabilistic bias analysis methods to quantify the impact of exposure misclassification bias on well-established associations between self-reported prepregnancy BMI category and five pregnancy outcomes (small- and large-for gestational age birth (SGA; LGA), spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB), gestational diabetes (GDM), and preeclampsia) derived from a hospital-based delivery database in Pittsburgh, PA (2003-2005; n=18 362). The bias analysis method recreates the data that would have been observed had BMI been correctly classified, assuming given classification parameters. The point estimates derived from the bias analysis account for random error as well as systematic error caused by exposure misclassification bias and additional uncertainty contributed by classification errors. In conventional multivariable logistic regression models, underweight women were at increased risk of SGA and sPTB, and reduced risk of LGA, while overweight, obese, and severely obese women had elevated risks of LGA, GDM, and preeclampsia compared with normal-weight women. After applying the probabilistic bias analysis method, adjusted point estimates were attenuated, indicating the conventional estimates were biased away from the null. However, the majority of relations remained readily apparent. This analysis suggests that in this population, associations between self-reported prepregnancy BMI and pregnancy outcomes are slightly overestimated.

description: Biofouling is a severe problem for marine sectors such as shipping, aquaculture and water intake systems. Barnacles, mussels, tubeworms and ascidians are the dominant biofouling organisms which increase the weight or affect the performance of the submerged structures. In this study, biofouling community development on nylon net panels submerged in the central Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia was monitored for a period of one year. Nylon net test panels were submerged in three different depths (2, 5 and 7 m) at two stations for six months during each panel submersion period (winter-spring and summer-autumn). There was a greater abundance of biofouling on panels submerged during winter- spring than in summer-autumn. The abundance of bivalves showed significant differences between panel submersion periods. However, the total biomass of fouling organisms did not show significant variations between panel submersion periods. The fouling organisms such as bivalves, gastropods and ascidians were more abundant on the panels submerged at 2 m with bivalves having a considerable number of individuals also at 5 and 7 m. In conclusion, results of this study indicated that bivalves and ascidians are the important fouling organisms settled on the nylon nets. Hence, suitable management programs targeting these organisms will help to mitigate the problems associated with biofouling on aquaculture cages submerged in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast.

description: We describe a framework for designing novel materials, combining modern first-principles electronic structure tools, materials databases, and evolutionary algorithms capable of exploring large configurational spaces. Guided by the chemical principles introduced by Antipov, \emph{et. al.}, for the design and synthesis of the Hg-based high-temperature superconductors, we apply our framework to design a new layered copper oxysulfide, Hg(CaS)$_2$CuO$_2$. We evaluate the prospects of superconductivity in this oxysulfide using theories based on charge-transfer energies, orbital distillation and uniaxial strain.

description: Let $S_g$ be the closed oriented surface of genus g and let $\text{Mod}(S_g)$ be the mapping class group. When the genus is at least 3, $\text{Mod}(S_g)$ can be generated by torsion elements. We prove the follow results. For $g \geq 4$, $\text{Mod}(S_g)$ can be generated by 4 torsion elements. Three generators are involutions and the forth one is an order 3 element. $\text{Mod}(S_3)$ can be generated by 5 torsion elements. Four generators are involutions and the fifth one is an order 3 element.

description: In the United States, Black women are at much greater risk for obesity than Black men. We explored whether adolescent behaviors (family dinners, hours of television, playing sports with mother, playing sports with father, bouts of physical activity) were associated with gender disparity in six-year obesity incidence in young adulthood. We used data from the nationally representative National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to examine adolescent behaviors in non-immigrant Black (n=1503) and White (n=4452) youths in 1994–95 (aged 11–19 years) and 1995–96 (aged 12–20). We assessed gender disparity in obesity incidence (female incidence minus male incidence) during young adulthood (2001–02; aged 18–26). Standardized gender disparities were calculated using race- and gender-stratified, covariate-adjusted logistic regression models in which males and females were set to the same distributions of adolescent behaviors. In adolescence, Black females reported less leisure-time physical activity and lower likelihood of playing sports with either parent than Black males. Setting adolescent behaviors equal for Black males and females did not reduce the estimated gender disparity in obesity incidence (non-standardized: 9.8 percentage points [95% CI: 4.5, 15.1]; fully-standardized: 10.2 percentage points [5.2, 15.2]). There was little gender disparity in Whites before or after adjustments. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine to what extent behavioral differences during adolescence might account for gender disparity in obesity incidence in Black young adults. Male-female differences in these adolescent behaviors did not appear to underlie the gender gap in young adult obesity.

description: Adiponectin is an adipose-secreted protein with influence on several physiologic pathways including those related to insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and atherogenesis. Adiponectin levels are highly heritable and several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in adiponectin-related genes (ADIPOQ, ADIPOR1, ADIPOR2) have been examined in relation to circulating adiponectin levels and obesity phenotypes, but despite differences in adiponectin levels and obesity prevalence by race, few studies have included black participants. Using cross-sectional interview data and blood samples collected from 990 black and 977 white women enrolled in the Southern Community Cohort Study from 2002 to 2006, we examined 25 SNPs in ADIPOQ, 19 in ADIPOR1, and 27 in ADIPOR2 in relation to serum adiponectin levels and body mass index (BMI) using race-stratified linear regression models adjusted for age and percentage African ancestry. SNP rs17366568 in ADIPOQ was significantly associated with serum adiponectin levels in white women only (adjusted mean adiponectin levels = 15.9 for G/G genotype, 13.7 for A/G, and 9.3 for A/A, p=0.00036). No other SNPs were associated with adiponectin or BMI among blacks or whites. Because adiponectin levels as well as obesity are highly heritable and vary by race but associations with polymorphisms in the ADIPOQ, ADIPOR1, and ADIPOR2 genes have been few in this and other studies, future work including large populations from diverse racial groups is needed to detect additional genetic variants that influence adiponectin and BMI.

description: Cnidarians comprise a large diversity of marine organisms. Some cnidarians are considered key members of ocean ecosystems that can also have socio-economic impacts in coastal communities across the world. This manuscript reports the predation between two species of cnidarians, the jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca (Medusozoa: Scyphozoa) and the anemone Anemonia sulcata (Anthozoa: Anemonia). Predation was observed in Cuatro Calas (37.37476°N-1.63088°W), during a summer sampling campaign (2015) from a four year monitoring project along the coast of Murcia (south-eastern coast of Iberian Peninsula, Spain). Predation between P. noctiluca and A. sulcata was observed in shallow waters (60 cm depth), where high densities of both species were found. Anemones showed a firm grip on the jellyfish by using their siphonoglyph and did not lose their grip to jellyfish movements during approximately four hours of monitoring. To our knowledge, this is the first report of predator-prey interactions between a benthic and a pelagic cnidarian species in the Mediterranean Sea. Further studies should be carried out to a better understand A. sulcata feeding behaviour and its implications on jellyfish population dynamics.

description: Spat recruitment of a large bivalve species endemic to the Mediterranean Sea and naturally found at İzmir, Turkey (Urla, Karantina Island), the fan mussel Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758), has been researched. The study was carried out between May and October 2012. The aim of this study was to determine the spat recruitment of the fan mussel. Collector systems were prepared with onion bags and pvc pipes. Collectors were deployed at two different depths (1 m and 8 m). Every month a new collector system was deployed at the study site and previous collectors were recovered. Length and weight of attached spats were recorded. Water temperature, salinity, chlorophyll-a and particulate matter were measured monthly. Surface collectors gathered 60.6 % of total spats. It was observed that, June, July and August were the most appropriate months to deploy fan mussel spat collectors for this site. Our results also showed that the main recruitment period of Pinna nobilis spat at the study site was between July and September.
