Studies that aim to characterise the susceptibility of ecologically relevant and non-model fish polar cod (Boreogadus saida) model carcinogens are required. Polar were exposed under laboratory conditions for six months control, 0.03 μg BaP/g fish/week 0.3 dietary benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a reference carcinogen. The concentrations 3-OH-BaP bile metabolite transcriptional responses genes involved in...

A rapidly warming Arctic Ocean and associated sea-ice decline is resulting in changing protist communities, affecting productivity of under-ice, pelagic, benthic fauna. Quantifying such effects hampered by a lack biomarkers suitable for tracing specific basal resources (primary producers microorganisms) through food webs. We investigate the potential δ13C values essential amino acids (EAAs) (δ1...

Increasing anthropogenic activities in the Arctic represent an enhanced threat for oil pollution in a marine environment that is already at risk from climate warming. In particular, this applies to species with free-living pelagic larvae that aggregate in surface waters and under the sea ice where hydrocarbons are likely to remain for extended periods of time due to low temperatures. We exposed...

A 17-year-old patient was aggressively attacked and stabbed in the dorsal region of his back by a knife. He was admitted to the emergency room of the Hammoud Hospital University Medical Center, Saida, Lebanon lying in the prone position. The neurological examination revealed that the stabbing object was fixed at the dorsal spine level at the T-7 level, where it was inserted inside the vertebral...

The Arctic climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. What consequences this may have on the Arctic marine ecosystem depends to a large degree on how its species will respond both directly to elevated temperatures and more indirectly through ecological interactions. But despite an alarming recent warming of the Arctic with accompanying sea ice loss, reports evaluating ecological impacts of c...
