The relationship between visual processing dysfunction and oral reading impairment was investigated in 17 patients with probable or possible Alzheimer's disease (AD). When dementia severity was controlled, a significant relationship was found between single word oral reading impairments and difficulties discriminating words written in different fonts and photographs of objects in different orientations, which are all functions believed to be dependent on the integrity of left ventral temporal-occipital visual association regions. By contrast, there was no significant relationship between reading performance and the score on a test of spatial localization, believed to be more dependent on parietal lobe function. There was also no relationship between reading ability and discrimination of unfamiliar faces, a function thought to engage right inferotemporal lobe structures. In contrast to the significant association between impaired reading and certain visual processes, when dementia severity was controlled, there was no relationship between reading and lexical semantic impairment. These results highlight the contribution of visual processing deficits to impaired oral reading in AD and further suggest that this association may derive from neuropathological changes in areas of the left temporal occipital lobes specialized for high-level visual processing.

Criteria from the World Conservation Union (IUCN) have been used to classify marine fish species as endangered since 1996, but deep-sea fish have not so far been evaluated--despite their vulnerability to aggressive deepwater fishing as a result of certain life-history traits. Here we use research-survey data to show that five species of deep-sea fish have declined over a 17-year period in the Canadian waters of the northwest Atlantic to such an extent that they meet the IUCN criteria for being critically endangered. Our results indicate that urgent action is needed for the sustainable management of deep-sea fisheries.

Fisheries: deep-sea fishes qualify as endangered.

Kriterien von der Weltnaturschutzunion (IUCN) wurden verwendet, um die marine Fischarten als gef&auml;hrdet seit 1996 zu klassifizieren, aber Tiefseefische nicht bisher bewertet wurden--trotz ihrer Anf&auml;lligkeit f&uuml;r aggressive Tiefsee Fischen durch bestimmte Merkmale der Lebens-Geschichte. Hier verwenden wir Forschung-Umfrage-Daten zeigen, dass f&uuml;nf Arten von Tiefseefischen &uuml;ber einen Zeitraum von 17 Jahren in den kanadischen Gew&auml;ssern des Nordwestatlantiks so weit gesunken, dass sie die IUCN Kriterien f&uuml;r wird kritisch gef&auml;hrdet. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass dringender f&uuml;r die nachhaltige Bewirtschaftung der Tiefseefischerei Handlungsbedarf.
