Invertebrate community responses to biochar addition in NTFP-enriched Amazonian secondary forests by Pedro Ríos Guayasamín, Sandy M. Smith, Sean C. Thomas

“…Soil conditions and seasonality were the main determinants of soil invertebrate community structure in multivariate analyses; however, biochar treatment effects were also detectable. Predators (ants and spiders) and microbivores (especially Poduromorpha) were the dominant functional groups in the study, with predators increasing over the collection seasons and microbivores decreasing. …”

ASSESSING THE RISK OF COMPLICATIONS DURING INDUCTION IN THE PATIENTS WITH LARGE MEDIASTINAL MASS by E. G. Kryukova, B. A. Akselrod, V. V. Stadler, M. O. Vozdvizhenskiy

“…The degree of compression does not always depend on the mass size, and the prediction of SMC progression during induction becomes a challenge.The method to evaluate the degree of mediastinal compression through the functional orthoclinostatic test was developed – the patient is to be placed in Fowler position for 45 degrees in order to follow changes in the cardiac index.It was found out that the patients with SMC detected during the test (increased cardiac index in Fowler position) had their arterial blood pressure reduced after induction, and the number of critical incidents was statistically significantly higher. …”
