Neurovascular compression of the left rostral ventrolateral medulla is not associated with arterial hypertension in a population-based MRI study in Germany

PURPOSE: Neurovascular compression (NVC) of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) is discussed as a cause for arterial hypertension (aHT). This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and the extent of NVC of the RVLM and to evaluate association with aHT in Germany. METHODS:...

Infaunal polychaete communities from continental shelf areas around the Antarctic Peninsula and the Filchner Trough region (Weddell Sea)

Abstract Polychaetes are a dominant and functionally diverse infaunal group of marine soft-bottom ecosystems. Yet their diversity in the Weddell Sea remains poorly known. We investigated the composition of polychaete communities (taxonomic and functional identity) in two key regi...
