Quantitative meta-analytic framework for aedes habitat heterogeneity

Moeen Hamid Bukhari · Iftikhar U. Sikder · Naisha Tariq · Sandy Yun · y 8 más

Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are invasive mosquitoes and the primary vectors of dengue, Zika, yellow fever, and chikungunya. Their ecological traits, particularly larval habitats and adult resting sites, are critical for designing effective strategies to reduce mosquito abundance and disease transmission. A syste...

Arteriovenous fistula originating from a Rasmussen aneurysm: Beyond pulmonary tuberculosis

Lina María Garzón López · Alejandro Salgado · Valeria Granados · Natalia Granados · y 2 más

Life-threatening hemoptysis is a serious complication of cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis and can result from multiple coexisting mechanisms, including vascular lesions and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA), which is frequently missed in post-tuberculosis lung disease. Therefore, we present the case of a 23-year-old...

Scoping Review on Polycystic Liver Disease in PKD1/PKD2 Gene Carriers: Genetic Aspects, Pathophysiology, and Therapeutic Approaches

Deiner-Yivelson Muñoz-Delgado · Laura-Fernanda Zuñiga-Hernández · Hannia Barrios-Bermúdez · Sarita Velasco-Erira · y 2 más

Polycystic liver disease (PLD) comprises hereditary disorders characterized by the progressive cystic replacement of liver parenchyma, leading to variable degrees of hepatomegaly and potential liver dysfunction. Depending on the affected gene, it may appear as isolated autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease (ADPLD...

Innovative Node Autoscaling Mechanism in the Kubernetes Ecosystem

Menouer, Tarek · Cerin, Christophe · Hernandez, Carlos Jaime Barrios

In this paper, we examine the Cloud-HPC continuum from the perspective of resource allocation and the execution of indistinguishable HPC and Cloud workloads. After briefly analyzing Kubernetes, an open-source platform for orchestrating containerized applications, we identified inefficiencies in resource usage resulting...

Attenuation of diet-induced hepatic steatosis by capric acid-rich MLM structured lipids in an obese mouse model

Angie Vanessa Caicedo-Paz · Camila Andrea Farías-Castro · Cassamo Ussemane Mussagy · Alejandra Espinosa-Escalona · y 6 más

Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) has emerged as a major hepatic manifestation of obesity and insulin resistance and represents a growing global health burden. Dietary lipid structure plays a decisive role in lipid metabolic fate and hepatic lipid accumulation, highlighting structured lip...
