拉普拉塔河流域以及巴塔哥尼亚地区及相关海域水生态栖息地的改变

本文描述了南美大陆南部陆地和东南沿海地区环境特性及水生栖息地和群落的现状(GIWA巴塔哥尼亚大陆架亚区),结果来自一项GIWA项目框架任务所完成的一份全面评估,绝大部分依据的是公开发表的数据.分析主要集中在跨边界水资源目前的情况和人类活动带来的影响.内陆水体的栖息地和群落变化主要是由为发电和其他用途而建的水坝和水库引起的.从活水环境到净水环境影响了生境,造成了生物群落的改变.在拉普拉塔(La Plata)河流域,外来入侵物种使本地物种消失.过度捕捞和污染影响了生物多样性,造成了海洋栖息地质量下降.本篇文章讨论了相关的原因,讨论了布宜诺斯艾利斯省和渔业资源由两国共享的阿根廷-乌拉圭公共渔业区对沿海生态环境的政策选择.     

Non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia: Glycine/serine ratio in amniotic fluid–an unreliable method for prenatal diagnosis

We describe a prenatal diagnosis of a fetus at risk for non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia based on the glycine/serine ratio in amniotic fluid at 16 weeks of gestation. Although the glycine level and the glycine/serine ratio in amniotic fluid were within the normal range, the fetus was affected and therefore a false-negative prediction was made. The reliability of this method is questioned.
