In 2009, the range of M. coccopoma in the SE US extended from Ft. Pierce, FL north to Cape Hatteras, NC with seasonal populations found as far north as Kitty Hawk, NC. During the exceptionally cold winter of 2009/2010, the range of M. coccopoma shifted dramatically due to the dieback of all monitored populations north of Florida. We examined body size, distribution, and density of M. coccopoma during the summers of 2010, 2011, and 2012 to describe the extent of the range retraction and the rate of range re-expansion. In 2010, recruits were found as far north as Tybee Island, Ga, but no established populations were found north of Florida. In 2011 recruits were found at Rodanthe, NC but established populations were still limited to Florida. By 2012 populations were established in Rodanthe, NC, slightly north of its previously known range limit. Estimated rates of range re-expansion were 255.8 km/yr in 2010 and 794.1 km/yr in 2011. Rates of re-expansion to the north in 2010 and 2011 were faster than have previously been reported for any marine species, and are one of the few rates published for any tropical marine invertebrate.

Here, we compare the outcome of patents treated within the Veterans Health Administration with either etoposide-cisplatin (EP) or carboplatin-paclitaxel (CP). We identified patients treated with EP and CP with concurrent radiotherapy from 2001 to 2010. Survival rates were compared using Cox proportional hazards regression models with adjustments for confounding provided by propensity score methods and an instrumental variables analysis. Comorbidities and treatment complications were identified through administrative data. A total of 1,842 patients were included; EP was used in 27% (n = 499). Treatment with EP was not associated with a survival advantage in a Cox proportional hazards model (hazard ratio [HR], 0.97; 95% CI, 0.85 to 1.10), a propensity score matched cohort (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.91 to 1.24), or a propensity score adjusted model (HR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.85 to 1.10).

Our main aim was to study the cooperative role of both molecular alterations in the prognosis of patients surgically resected for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We have determined telomerase activity and p16 expression in a series of 98 prospectively collected NSCLC specimens obtained from patients who had undergone surgery without other treatment. Telomerase activity was investigated by a telomeric repeat amplification protocol enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-based procedure, and p16 expression was examined by Western blot. Associations with survival were evaluated. Positive results for telomerase activity were found in 82% of the cases, and this variable correlated with poor differentiation and recurrence of tumors. Lack of p16 expression was observed in 61% of tumors, and a significant association with tumor recurrence was also observed. By univariate analysis, both negative telomerase activity and p16-positive expression were significantly correlated with a better prognosis. Moreover, statistics for equality of survival distributions for telomerase, adjusted for p16, indicated a positive interaction between both parameters. For telomerase-positive tumors, p16 expression emerged as a significant independent protective variable, as indicated by Cox multivariate analysis (relative risk [RR], 0.214; P =.014). This protective effect was maintained only for stage I and II tumors (RR, 0.108; P =.046). These results suggest that the combined telomerase activity and p16 expression analyses may be of prognostic importance in NSCLC, especially for patients affected by stage I and II tumors.
