- ItemFrom molecules to ecosystem functioning: insight into new approaches to taxonomy to monitor harmful algae diversity in Chile(2022) Mardones, J. I.; Krock, B.; Marcus, L.; Alves-de-Souza, C.; Nagai, S.; Yarimizu, K.; Clément, A.; Correa, N.; Silva, S.; Paredes, J.; Von Dassow, PeterHarmful algal blooms (HABs) are a major concern for Chilean scientists and governmental authorities, due to their deleterious effects on the aquaculture industry, resulting in complex sanitary, economic, and social problems. Increasingly, intense and frequent HABs events have distressed the aquaculture industry in recent years, especially for the occurrence of previously unreported toxic microalgae species. In the context of HAB monitoring programs, we review recent major advances in new approaches that have enabled deeper understanding of HAB species diversity in Chile. In particular, molecular approaches have revealed exceptional cryptic diversity, and chemotaxonomic approaches exposed the presence of new phycotoxins belonging to still undetected HAB species using conventional light microscopy. New advances in the detection of ichthyotoxins through the use of a fish cell line assay promises an early incorporation of this technique in routine monitoring of community composition. Emerging imaging flow cytometry is progressively pushing monitoring to more automated capabilities, and citizen science is gradually involving local communities in the complex phenomenon of harmful algal blooms

- ItemHepatocellular carcinoma in identical twins in Chile: case report(2016) Caglevic, C.; Silva, S.; Mahave, M.; Torres Montes, Paula Javiera; Rolfo, C.; Gallardo, J.; Carrasco, P.Liver cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide, with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) being the most common type of primary malignant liver tumour, with a typically poor prognosis, growing incidence and a well-documented relationship with chronic inflammation factors of the liver tissue. Despite the fact that family medical history has been identified as a risk factor for the development of HCC, its significance in terms of etiopathogenesis and prognosis is not well documented. With a view to contributing to this discussion, we will report the clinical case of two identical twins with HCC, both diagnosed within a short period of time, by providing relevant clinical data, and relating this to other medical literature reports that could contribute to a deeper understanding of this illness.
