An analysis of the posts on a U.K.-based breast cancer discussion forum suggests that the type of online discourse found in this area is topic-led not people-led. Most participants posted for a short time and then left the forums. Pre-existing social networks played no significant role – most people who came to this breast cancer forum did so because they did not have an offline network of people in a similar situation. The nature of interactions on such forums may suggest that the best model may be one where interaction is structured by topics and information and interaction is mediated through topical hierarchies.

The Social

Abstract During the socially transformative mid-nineteenth century in the Salish Sea region of the Northwest Coast, a number of influential leaders emerged within Indigenous tribal groups. They played a significant role in reshaping the social geography of the region, blending emergent religious, commercial, and military bases for authority with more conventional Coast Salish strategies of patronage and generosity. The authors examine the lives and social connections of three Coast Salish leaders to illustrate how they were able to establish and maintain social networks across the region for their advantage and for the advantage of followers who had gravitated to them from surrounding shattered communities.

Introduction: Lymphedema is one of the complications of breast cancer treatment. It has no cure yet and can affect the quality of life. This study aimed to identify and investigate informational needs, preferred delivery methods, and time of receiving information about lymphedema for these patients. Methods: One hundred participants were recruited through Lymphedema Clinic in Motamed Cancer Institute in Tehran, Iran, through convenience sampling and were asked to complete a self-administered survey. Data collection took place on all opening days between October 2018 and mid-March 2019. Results: Most of the participants were above 40 years, have a diploma, homemaker, and the average income of most of the participants (57.2%) was low. The importance of having lymphedema information was very high for them. Most of them wanted detailed information at diagnosis of breast cancer. The preferred information of delivery methods were private sessions and social networks. Conclusions: Patients with breast cancer who have lymphedema have high needs as regards concise lymphedema information. Private sessions with physicians and social networks can provide detailed information for them.

Allometry of the kidney: implications for the ontogeny of osmoregulation

In reptiles, there are two pairs of kidneys at birth: the mesonephros and the metanephros. The metanephric kidney in reptiles, as in all amniote vertebrates, is retained as the functional kidney in adults. However, the reptilian mesonephros does not degenerate until after birth, and its function during this time is unknown. In neonates of the iguanid lizard Sceloporus jarrovi, the metanephric kidney is only 63% as large as predicted from the allometric relationship between kidney mass and body mass in adults. However, the kidney mass of neonatal lizards conforms to this prediction if the mesonephric and metanephric masses are combined. Some other amniote vertebrates appear to follow this pattern as well: in marsupials, which retain the mesonephros for a short period after birth, the sum of mesonephric and metanephric mass in neonates conforms to the allometry of kidney mass on body mass for adults. In contrast, the mesonephros of eutherian mammals is degenerate at birth and the metanephric kidney alone is of the predicted size. That the scaling of kidney mass in neonatal lizards and marsupials is the same as that of adults only if the mass of both the mesonephros and metanephros are combined suggests that the mesonephric kidney in these vertebrates plays a significant role in the regulation of water and ion balance during development and for at least a short time after birth.
