Reevaluation of the interpretation of annuli from otoliths of a long-lived ®sh, Anoplopoma ®mbria
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sable®sh (Anoplopoma ®mbria) were recaptured up to 20 years after being injected with oxytetracycline (OTC). After 20 years the OTC mark is clear in most otoliths. Our examination of these otoliths con®rmed that sable®sh are long-lived and grow slowly after maturity. Annuli that formed beyond the OTC mark could be dif®cult to interpret in broken and burnt sections. However, polished thin sections improved the clarity of annuli. Despite improved preparations, annuli in some sections were dif®cult to distinguish, resulting in annuli counts after the OTC mark that did not correspond exactly to the years at liberty of the recaptured ®sh. # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) occurs in about 5 percent of patients undergoing major abdominal surgeries. Prophylaxis of VTE is recommended using unfractionated heparin (UF) or low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) in high-risk patients. In spite of advantages and confirmed cost-effectiveness of LMWH, high costs of enoxaparin branded preparations limit its use. We aimed to compare the efficacy and...
