Giant left myxoma with mitral valve obstruction. [PDF]
Clin Case Rep, 2022 This case highlights that left atrium polypoid giant myxoma can cause acute pulmonary edema that can potentially be misdiagnosed as other cardiopulmonary diseases. Transthoracic echocardiogram is the imaging method of choice for the diagnosis of myxoma.

Neuroanatomical and Psychosocial Effects of Heavy Alcohol Use Among Young Adults in Angola: A Cross-Sectional Study. [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background and Aims Excessive alcohol consumption is a critical yet under‐researched public health problem in Angola, particularly among young adults. Although per capita consumption is among the highest in Africa, little is known about the specific neuroanatomical and psychosocial consequences in this group.

Species-specific drivers explain fish feeding and individual niche variation. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract The trophic ecology of animals often results from complex interactions between environmental and biological drivers. Yet, studies that explore trophic ecology across multiple fish species while considering a wide range of environmental variables remain limited. In this study, we analysed diet and niche variation in fish communities across five

Otterly delicious: Spatiotemporal variation in the diet of a recovering population of Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) revealed through DNA metabarcoding and morphological analysis of prey remains. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Our national scale investigation of the trophic ecology of a recovering apex predator over a decade using molecular tools highlights that prey distributions are likely to drive such species recoveries. We show that the trophic interactions of otters vary over spatial, temporal, and biological gradients and that their trophic generalism has likely been ...

BLOCOS URBANISM: Capitalism and Modularity in the Making of Contemporary Luanda
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 809-832, September 2023., 2023 Abstract In this article we portray and unpack the fabric of urban expansion in contemporary Luanda. In doing so, we examine interdependencies and complementarities between the organization of oil extraction off the coast of Angola, the emergence of particular modalities of modernist city planning for the expansion of its capital city, and the ...

Temporal and spatial patterns in the shifting of otter diet to invasive prey after river damming
River Research and Applications, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page 1450-1459, October 2022., 2022 Abstract River damming promotes profound changes in aquatic biodiversity, including the facilitation of biological invasions, with subsequent impacts on native communities. The Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) is a generalist aquatic predator that often incorporates new prey types when they become available.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 1635-1649, August 2022., 2022 Abstract Aim Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) prescribes the quantification of species vulnerability based on three components: sensitivity, adaptive capacity and exposure. Such assessments should be performed through combined approaches that integrate trait‐based elements (e.g., measures of species sensitivity such as niche width) with ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 11, Page 3261-3275, November 2021., 2021 Abstract The freshwater blenny Salaria fluviatilis is an endangered fish species with populations that are in rapid decline, largely owing to habitat degradation caused by human activity. This situation highlights the urgent need to develop measures for the conservation and recovery of the species based on a deep understanding of its specific habitat ...
