RESUMEN
This report describe the first application of environmental DNA-metabarcoding approach for the assessment of fish species diversity in two marine protected areas of the North Sea: the Doggerbank and the Sylt Outer Reef. We collected 64 water samples and detected 24 fish species. We discuss qualitative differences between MPAs and compare the results with those obtained from bottom-trawl surveys in the same areas. We found three additional species to those documented in the same year with trawls, including the critically endangered European eel.

A 60-year-old asymptomatic woman was admitted to hospital for an invasive evaluation of a patent foramen ovale and a suspected formation within the right atrium. Transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography excluded both, but instead unveiled a huge "brass knuckle"-like ectasia of the right coronary artery meandering down the lateral wall of the right atrium. Coronary anomalies are common and mostly discovered incidentally. Thus, diagnostic and therapeutic approaches should be guided by the clinical scenario of the patient.
