Evaluation of mechanical pretreatments and mineral amendments on the degradation of municipal solid waste using digestive bales

Carlos Esteven Pulgarín-Muñoz · Johan Camilo Castro-Valencia · Laura Linares-Rodríguez · Paula Andrea Quiceno-Cuartas

The global increase in urban solid waste generation demands efficient and decentralized management alternatives. This study compared seven bale configurations - an unmodified control, two mechanical pretreatments, a mineral amendment, inoculation with mature compost and two wetting regimes - in terms of organic matter...

Morphometric assessment of the mandibular retromolar space for orthodontic molar distalization: A systematic review of CT and CBCT evidence

Diego Fernando López · Claudia Milena Ramírez Ortíz · Adrian David Fernández-Osorio · Adith Venugopal

Anatomical variability of the mandibular retromolar space (MRS) plays a decisive role in planning mandibular molar distalization; however, available evidence remains fragmented across heterogeneous tomographic studies.To synthesize current evidence derived from computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam computed tomography...

Prevalence and prognostic impact of GLIM-defined malnutrition in hospitalized patients with cancer: A prospective cohort study

Ricardo Merchán-Chaverra · Daniela Acero-Alfonso · Alejandra Agudelo-Martínez · Carolina Pinzón-Ospina · y 6 más

Evidence on the prognostic value of Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM)-defined malnutrition in hospitalized patients with cancer from Latin America remains limited. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of GLIM-defined malnutrition in hospitalized patients with cancer and to evaluate its associa...

Recommendations for sustainable control of cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini, 1887) in Latin America and the Caribbean

G A, Sabatini · F A, Borges · L M, Costa-Junior · U, Cuore · y 15 más

The control of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, is an ongoing challenge for cattle producers in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world. It is a robust parasite that transmits potentially fatal pathogens and can cause substantial damage to cattle in its own right. With a high fecundity a...

Higher-order interaction effects among operating conditions and feedstocks shape reactor microbiomes and fatty acid production profiles

Jorge L. Rico · Amanda Schmidt · Parsa Ghadermazi · Kristen Otto · y 5 más

Arrested anaerobic digestion (AAD) offers a promising route for producing fatty acids (FAs) from organic residues, yet optimal conditions for selectively generating medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) remain poorly defined. Here, we systematically evaluated the main and interaction effects of pH (5, 7, 9), feedstock (food...

Association between oral health conditions and body composition in patients aged 60 years or older attending sarcopenia and malnutrition clinic

Jhon Alejandro Naranjo-Gómez · María Fernanda Navia-Jutchenko · Leonardo Montoya-Castro · Daiana Andrea Rojas-Ramírez · y 3 más

Oral health conditions may influence nutritional status and muscle health in older adults, potentially contributing to sarcopenia. However, studies exploring this relationship show methodological heterogeneity and often rely on self-reported oral health, limiting comparability and applicability in clinical settings. Th...

Multifactorial ecological framework for intestinal-type gastric cancer

Juan C, Caguazango M · Yomaira, Yépez Caicedo · Marino, Coral Bedoya · Natalia, Castaño-Rodríguez

Gastric cancer (GC) remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with projections indicating increasing incidence and marked geographic variability across populations. Although multiple hypotheses have been proposed to explain this heterogeneity, including those related to Helicobacter pylor...

Age-related clinical and therapeutic differences during a hospital outbreak of Clostridioides difficile infection in Colombia

Andrés, Arias-Sánchez · Stephanie, Casadiego-Payares · Camilo, Acosta-Parada · José, Bareño-Silva

Pediatric data on hospital-acquired Clostridioides difficile infection (HA-CDI) outbreaks in Latin America are scarce. We compared age-related clinical, microbiological, therapeutic, and outcome differences during a Colombian HA-CDI outbreak.We conducted a retrospective observational study at a 610-bed tertiary-care ho...
