Free Intra-Abdominal Air without Peritoneal Perforation after TEM: A Report of Two Cases by Rutger J. Franken, Daan E. Moes, Yair I. Z. Acherman, Eric J. Derksen

“…We hypothesize that due to the combination of elevated pressures in the retroperitoneal cavity and decreased integrity of the retroperitoneal barrier, insufflated CO2 gas can diffuse into the intraperitoneal cavity. Conservative treatment should be considered in patients with free intra-abdominal air postoperatively. …”

A geometric morphometric approach for detecting different reproductive stages of a free-ranging killer whale Orcinus orca population by Chloe V. Robinson, Brittany C. Visona-Kelly

“…We illustrate the applicability of our geometric morphometric protocol for rapid, robust determination of reproductive status in a free-ranging cetacean species. This work helps to satisfy the need for universal tools for non-invasively gleaning population demographic data from free-ranging cetaceans especially of populations which are experiencing prey-related reproductive failures, to understand miscarriage rates and trigger subsequential conservation actions.…”

The iGains4Gains model guides irrigation water conservation and allocation to enhance nexus gains across water, food, carbon emissions, and nature by Bruce Lankford, Nafn Amdar, Matthew McCartney, Tafadzwanashe Mabhaudhi

“…First, can irrigation efficiency and other factors, such as irrigated area, be applied to achieve real water savings while maintaining crop production, ensuring greenhouse gas emission reductions, and ‘freeing’ water for nature? Second, with the insight that water conservation is a distributive/allocative act, we ask who between four paracommoners (the proprietor irrigation system, neighbouring irrigation systems, society, and nature) benefits hydrologically from changes in irrigation efficiency? …”
