Rickettsiae of the spotted fever group in dogs of the Americas: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Beatriz Elena, Patiño-Quiroz · Laura Alejandra, Páez-Rojas · Jerson Andrés, Cuéllar-Sáenz · Nicolás Ernesto, Baldrich-Romero · y 2 más

Sentinel animals are defined as sensitive indicators of environmental hazards that provide an early warning system for public health interventions. Spotted fever group rickettsioses are zoonotic tick-borne diseases that are considered endemic in different American countries with significant rates of morbidity and letha...

The effectiveness of 5:2 intermittent fasting compared with continuous caloric restriction in the treatment of recurrent weight gain after metabolic bariatric surgery: A non-inferiority, short-term, pilot feasibility study

Diana Cristina Henao-Carrillo · Ana Milena Forero · Ana María Gómez · Sofia Robledo · y 4 más

Intermittent fasting (IF) is a form of calorie restriction that has recently gained notoriety. However, there is currently no data on its effectiveness for patients with recurrent weight gain (RWG) after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS).A randomized non-inferiority, short-term, pilot feasibility trial was conducted to...

Effects of background rotation and anisotropy in the holographic description of type-II superconductors

Jhony A. Herrera-Mendoza · Alfredo Herrera-Aguilar · Daniel F. Higuita-Borja · Julio A. Méndez-Zavaleta · y 2 más

The present work concerns the detailed construction of a holographic model for a type-II s-wave superconductor defined on a 5-dimensional anisotropic rotating black hole. We examine the role of rotation and anisotropy on the properties of the superconductor model focusing on the condensate and the AC conductivity, for...

Pregnancy in a patient with glycogen storage disease type Ia (von Gierke disease): case report and management strategy

Camila Andrea Camargo Rodríguez · Cristian Rolando Avellaneda-Garnica · Rafael Leonardo Aragón-Mendoza · Yaisa Maritza Castaño Toro · y 1 más

Glycogen storage disease type I (GSDI) is caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene encoding the glucose-6-phosphatase complex. Deficiency of this enzyme in the liver, kidneys, and intestines leads to glycogen accumulation in these organs and, consequently, to inadequate glucose production due to impaired gly...

Improved growth and antioxidant responses via arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi–mediated changes in phenolic compounds in two tomato landraces under salt stress

Christian Santander · Felipe González · Urley Pérez · Antonieta Ruiz · y 3 más

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can improve plant performance under salinity, but their contribution to phenolic-based antioxidant responses in traditional tomato landraces remains unclear. We evaluated the effects of Diversispora celata and Funneliformis mosseae on growth, nutrition, gas exchange, oxidative status,...

A surface science study on the influence of manganese and copper on the atmospheric corrosion of Fe-Mn-Al-C alloys under simulated SO2 conditions

M. Gracia · J.R. Gancedo · A. Bohorquez · G.A. Pérez Alcázar · y 1 más

Four distinct compositions of Fe-Mn-Al-C steels, covering high- and low-Mn contents (austenitic and ferritic alloys) and either containing or lacking Cu as a minor alloying element, were selected to evaluate the influence of Mn and Cu on their corrosion behaviour. For this purpose, the samples were subjected to SO₂-ind...

Lung cancer across borders: From molecular epidemiology to precision treatment strategies

Miguel García-Pardo · Andrés Felipe Cardona · Herbert H. Loong · Laura Mezquita

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, accounting for approximately 1.8 million deaths annually. Beyond this universal burden, lung cancer is profoundly heterogeneous, shaped by geography, environmental exposures, genetic ancestry, and unequal access to molecular diagnostics and mo...

Real-world outcomes of plasmablastic lymphoma: Treatment approaches and survival outcomes in the PLASMABLAT-001 cohort

Humberto Martinez-Cordero · Paola Spirko · Irma Karen Pellon · Laura Korin · y 13 más

Plasmablastic lymphoma (PBL) is a rare and aggressive malignancy frequently associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and lacking standardized treatment strategies. We developed the PLASMABLAT-001 retrospective cohort to describe treatment patterns and outcomes in PBL.We retrospectively analyzed 86 p...

Population Attributable Risk in Alzheimer and Parkinson Diseases

Lietsel Jones · Catalina Cerquera-Cleves · Artur F.S. Schuh · Mary Makarious · y 8 más

Emerging evidence suggests that the genetic architecture of Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD) risk varies across ancestries. This study seeks to explore distinct and universal genetic targets across individuals of Latino, African/African-admixed, East Asian, and European populations by implementing popu...
