Maternal Low-Protein Diet Induces Sex-Specific Alterations in Hippocampal Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Expression in Rat Offspring

Paola Cristina Bello-Medina · Mauricio Díaz-Muñoz · Jonathan Rafael Trinidad-Gallardo · María Conchita Rodríguez-Oseguera · y 1 más

Maternal nutrition during pregnancy and lactation is crucial for pup brain development. A low-protein isocaloric diet (LPID) has been associated with cognitive deficits, but its sex-specific effects on early hippocampal maturation remain unclear. This study examined whether maternal LPID alters astrocytic activation, m...

COI DNA barcoding of phlebotomine sand flies from the Pamplonita River basin, Norte de Santander, Colombia

Lizeth Eunice Bolivar-Buitrago · Diego Carrero-Sarmiento · Richard Hoyos-Lopez

Leishmaniasis remains a major neglected tropical disease in the Americas, where transmission involves diverse parasites, reservoirs, and phlebotomine sand fly vectors. Accurate sand fly identification is essential for surveillance, but morphology-based diagnosis may be difficult in closely related taxa and isomorphic f...

Not what it seems: Distributed agencies and clinical narratives in electronic health records

Sandra Ramirez · Nelson Molina-Valencia · Joel Michael Reynolds

Medical records mediate clinical work at multiple levels. Focusing on the transition from paper-based medical records to Electronic Health Records (EHRs), we analyze how the incorporation of digital infrastructures reconfigures healthcare networks and reshapes practices of writing, reading, and narration. Our analysis...

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is widely recommended for blood pressure control; however, its comparative effectiveness relative to other structured dietary interventions remains uncertain.To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of the DASH diet versus alternative dietary interventions on blo...

A longitudinal examination of gut microbiota dysbiosis and neuro-behavioral phenotypes of poly(I:C)-maternal immune activation in a preclinical model of autism and schizophrenia

Diego A. González-Franco · Karina Corona-Cervantes · Paola C. Bello-Medina · Marcel Pérez-Morales · y 3 más

Maternal immune activation (MIA) induced by polyinosinic/cytidylic acid [poly(I:C)] is a widely used approach to study how gestational inflammation affects neurodevelopment. For this reason, we aimed to describe the changes in gut microbiota and neurobehavioral phenotypes across the lifespan of the MIA offspring. We ad...
