The present written work represents the results of the research of the ichthyofauna from the lower course of the Prut River (including the Manta puddle and the Beleu lake) in terms of succession. It was established that, as a result of anthropogenic actions (drying of over 27-30 thousand ha of puddles, dam of the banks of the Prut River and its tributaries, extraction of sand and river stone from the minor riverbed, irreversible use of water in irrigation and industries, pollution, construction of the Costești-Stânca dam, destruction of wood cuts for lithifile and phytophilic species, etc.) in the ichthyofauna on the lower course of the Prut River, there were significant changes in diversity, quantitative and qualitative composition, and functional status of fish populations.

This paper represents the results of the researches of the ichthyofauna of the Dubăsari accumulation lake in successional aspect. It was found that due to the influence of anthropogenic factors in the last 5-6 decades (construction of Naslavcea and Novodnestrovsc dams, excavation of sand and river gravel from the minor riverbed, use of water for various purposes, accidental, biological and thermal pollution, damage and destruction of substrate of reproduction for lithophilic and phytophilic species, etc.) in the ichthyofauna of the middle course of the Dniester River (Naslavcea – Camenca village) and the Dubasari accumulation lake have undergone essential changes, reflecting the structural and functional status of the fish populations, the growth rate, sexual maturation, prolificacy and the annual sexual cycle. Apart from these factors that have influenced and continue to negatively influence the fishery resources in the Dubasari reservoir, the factor of their poor management also persists in the last 25 years.

Target Fish

Abstract We propose a technical solution for fish movement based on the flow of water over a spill threshold. Such barriers are common in the Danube system. The proposed system has a range of operating components which are easily detachable from the spill threshold, are resistant to corrosion and will not harm the fish. In fact, if designed to complement swimming abilities of target fish, it should provide adequate passage for both adults and juveniles. If implemented correctly, the design may offer a solution to help displaced fish recolonize upstream habitats.

Abstract Evaluators who use the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, should understand the significant changes that have occurred (as well as the Clarifications and Corrections) in impairment ratings for disorders of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, lumbar spine, and pelvis. The new methodology is an expansion of the Diagnosis-related estimates (DRE) method used in the fifth edition, but the criteria for defining impairment are revised, and the impairment value within a class is refined by information related to functional status, physical examination findings, and the results of clinical testing. Because current medical evidence does not support range-of-motion (ROM) measurements of the spine as a reliable indicator of specific pathology or permanent functional status, ROM is no longer used as a basis for defining impairment. The DRE method should standardize and simplify the rating process, improve validity, and provide a more uniform methodology. Table 1 shows examples of spinal injury impairment rating (according to region of the spine and category, with comments about the diagnosis and the resulting class assignment); Table 2 shows examples of spine impairment by region of the spine, class, diagnosis, and associated whole person impairment ratings form the sixth and fifth editions of the AMA Guides.

Complete History

Abstract The AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Fifth Edition, explains that independent medical evaluations (IMEs) are not the same as impairment evaluations, and the evaluation must be designed to provide the data to answer the questions asked by the requesting client. This article continues discussions from the September/October issue of The Guides Newsletter and examines what occurs after the examinee arrives in the physician's office. First are orientation and obtaining informed consent, and the examinee must understand that there is no patient–physician relationship and the physician will not provide treatment bur rather will send a report to the client who requested the IME. Many physicians ask the examinee to complete a questionnaire and a series of pain inventories before the interview. Typical elements of a complete history are shown in a table. An equally detailed physical examination follows a meticulous history, and standardized forms for reporting these findings are useful. Pain and functional status inventories may supplement the evaluation, and the examining physician examines radiographic and diagnostic studies. The physician informs the interviewee when the evaluation is complete and, without discussing the findings, asks the examinee to complete a satisfaction survey and reviews the latter to identify and rectify any issues before the examinee leaves. A future article will discuss high-quality IME reports.
