Vertebral deformities in cultured big size Rainbow Trout: Radiological analysis from juvenile to harvest size
Get PDFVertebral deformities are a big challenge in Rainbow Trout seawater aquaculture. However, supportive scientific literature is missing. The present study used radiology to follow the development of vertebral deformities in a population of farmed Rainbow Trout as they grew from 36 g to 5.5 kg. In addition, separately collected deformity screening data from three other farmed populations were included for comparison.
The fish developed deformities in different vertebral regions over time, eventuating to affect almost the entire vertebral column. At this point, the fish were ∼ 5.5 kg and 93 % of the fish had one or more deformed vertebrae. A negative relationship between severity of deformity (number of deformed vertebrae per individual), and fish length and weight strongly suggest a negative impact on fish welfare. The most frequently affected area was the ural region of the vertebral column. This region is a part of the caudal fin complex which also suffered from degradation of the fin rays. Ural region deformities were also frequent in the separately investigated populations.
The current results indicate that Rainbow Trout are not able to maintain normal bone development under current farming conditions, consequently, jeopardizing the welfare of the fish.publishedVersio

Associations between term cesarean delivery in the first pregnancy and second-pregnancy preterm delivery
Get PDFIntroduction: Cesarean delivery has been shown to increase the risk of preterm delivery in future pregnancies. The association could be a direct result of the procedure, or because the indications that led to the cesarean delivery also increase the risk of preterm delivery in later pregnancies.
Material and Methods: 298 901 mothers with first and second singleton deliveries from 1999 to 2020 were investigated using data from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway linked with Statistics Norway. The mothers were categorized by mode of cesarean delivery (total, emergency and planned) and vaginal delivery at term in the first pregnancy. We used log-binomial regression models to estimate relative risks with 95% confidence intervals (CI) of iatrogenic and spontaneous preterm delivery <37 gestational weeks in the second pregnancy. Second, we explored the role of recurrent placental disease in preterm delivery by comparing estimates in mothers with placental disease in neither or both pregnancies.
Results: 8243 mothers (2.8%) had a preterm delivery in the second pregnancy. The adjusted relative risk (aRR) of preterm delivery was 1.24 (95% CI 1.17–1.32) after cesarean compared with vaginal delivery in the first pregnancy. The association was stronger in previous planned compared with emergency cesarean delivery (aRR 1.52, 95% CI 1.30–1.77 and aRR 1.21, 95% CI 1.14–1.29, respectively). Spontaneous preterm delivery was not associated with the previous mode of delivery; the risk was confined to iatrogenic preterm delivery after both emergency and planned cesarean delivery (aRR 1.69, 95% CI 1.52–1.87 and aRR 2.65, 95% CI 2.12–3.30, respectively). Mothers with placental disease in both pregnancies had a sixfold increased risk of preterm delivery in the second pregnancy compared with mothers with no placental disease, however, the association between mode of delivery and subsequent preterm delivery was similar in mothers with and without placental disease in the pregnancies.
Conclusions: Compared with vaginal term delivery in the first pregnancy, cesarean delivery increases the risk of iatrogenic, but not spontaneous preterm delivery in the next pregnancy. Although strongly associated with preterm delivery, placental disease had limited influence on the estimates.publishedVersio

Evaluating the socioeconomic benefits of heat-health warning systems
Get PDFHeat-health early warning systems (HHWS) are an important collaborative activity between the meteorological and health communities. This study aimed to map the evidence on the socioeconomic assessment of HHWS and their effectiveness in terms of averting heat related health outcomes. It also aimed to map the technical, structural, and societal barriers and facilitators to implementation and use of HHWS. We use two methods: (i) a scoping review of literature on the economic assessment and health benefit of climate services for heat-health adaptation (ii) a set of interviews with climate service developers and providers in Europe and Africa to understand further technical and societal aspects as well as evaluation of such services. We find that HHWS can be a cost-effective adaptation option that can reduce heat-related mortality and morbidity, especially in vulnerable groups like the elderly. We find that challenges such as lack of long-term and reliable funding, difficulties in making the climate data relevant, comprehensible, and accessible to different end-users, cultural differences between climate and health professionals, and limited ability to assess the services’ real impact need to be accounted for while implementing these services.publishedVersio
