ABSTRACT
The goal of this study was to gather information about freshwater fishes in Letchworth State Park (42.615275° N, -77.992825° W), a portion of New York State-owned land located in the Genesee River Watershed that lacks known data about its fish diversity. Fish collection took place between 2017 and 2019 in the Genesse River upstream and downstream of the falls using electrofishing, gill, hoop, and seine netting. This was the first attempt at a comprehensive survey of this portion of the river, which allowed for a baseline to be established regarding fish biodiversity in the region. The updated total number of species found in this portion of the Genesee River was 25, 22 of which were newly identified downstream of the falls in Letchworth State Park. We encourage further collection and continuation of this survey with consistent sampling techniques to raise awareness about the importance of freshwater fish diversity in stream ecosystems across the globe.
ABSTRACT
A gynecologist in solo practice reviewed three years of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of human papillomavirus (HPV). Infected women were asked to have their sexual partners diagnosed and treated. One hundred nineteen women and 57 men were examined. This article describes common HPV lesion types and examination methods for both sexes. Magnification and use of dilute acetic acid are emphasized. The most common treatments and the pros and cons of various therapeutic methods are discussed. The results of treatments with podophyllin, trichloroacetic acid, electrodesiccation, cryosurgery, CO2 laser, topical 5-fluorouracil and combinations of these also are presented. The sexual partner co-treatment is explained, and the author summarizes his choice of treatment.
