Temporal Dilution: Chemotherapy, Capitalism, and the Making of Cancer Time in Colombia
ABSTRACT Through the ethnographic case of a man undergoing chemotherapy for prostate cancer at a hospital in Colombia, this article examines how chemotherapy schedules make toxicity clinically manageable while imposing rhythms that many patients cannot sustain. It develops an analytic framework centered on three interrelated temporal dynamics: temporal

Population viability analysis of American mink (Neovison vison) escaped from Danish mink farms
The American mink (Neovison vison) was introduced to Danish fur farms in the 1930s. An unknown number of mink have managed to escape these farms over the years. Today feral mink are found in the wild in most parts of Denmark. A population viability analysis (PVA) was performed using VORTEX, a stochastic population simulation software, to 1) predict the

168 American mink Genome Sequencing Project [PDF]
Abstract The long-term goal of American Mink (Neogale vison) Genome Sequencing Project is to develop novel genomics tools to study the genome biology and evolution of mink. This research agenda is organized around three major goals: 1) development of first chromosome-level genome assembly with high quality for American mink to help ...

Contemporary Management of Human‐Caused Hybridization in Mammals: A Review
By reviewing studies on human‐mediated (i.e., anthropogenic) hybridization, we identify key management gaps, including inconsistent identification of admixed individuals, limited population‐level assessments, insufficient social engagement, and unclear management objectives.

Nutritional aspects of sexual dimorphism in the American mink mustela vison (schreber) [PDF]
Nutritional aspects of size-related sex differences in the diets of free-living mink were investigated in laboratory-based feeding trials with adult farm-bred mink maintained on 'natural' diets.

Functional genetic diversity of domestic and wild American mink (Neovison vison)
The release of domestic organisms to the wild threatens biodiversity because the introduction of domestic genes through interbreeding can negatively impact wild conspecifics via outbreeding depression.

Off‐midline versus supraumbilical specimen extraction sites in robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy
Objectives To compare two different specimen extraction sites (SES) (off‐midline [OM] vs. supraumbilical) for the incidence of incisional hernias (IHs) and to evaluate different risk factors for their occurrence after robot‐assisted radical prostatectomy.

Breaking an Absolute Species Barrier: Transgenic Mice Expressing the Mink PrP Gene Are Susceptible to Transmissible Mink Encephalopathy [PDF]
Transmissible mink encephalopathy (TME) is a rare disease of the North American mink, which has never been successfully transmitted to laboratory mice. We generated transgenic mice expressing the mink prion protein (PrP) and inoculated them with TME or ...

Wetlands selected for protection and restoration harbour high biodiversity value but may still experience declining water bird populations, likely reflecting broad‐scale environmental pressures not mitigated by the small‐scale protection and restoration. Contrasting results between species‐specific and total abundance models highlight the importance of
