UnknownThe masked seducers: Lek courtship behavior in the wrinkle-faced bat Centurio senex (Phyllostomidae).
Centurio senex is an iconic bat characterized by a facial morphology deviating far from all other New World Leaf Nosed Bats (Phyllostomidae). The species has a bizarrely wrinkled face and lacks the characteristic nose leaf. Throughout its distribution from Mexico to Northern South America the specie...

UnknownpH-Dependent Molecular Gate Mesoporous Microparticles for Biological Control of Giardia intestinalis.
Giardiasis is a parasitism produced by the protozoa Giardia intestinalis that lives as trophozoite in the small intestine (mainly in the duodenum) attached to the intestinal villus by means of billed discs. The first line treatment is metronidazole, a drug with high bioavailability, which is why to ...

UnknownCharting the Pathways of Cardiometabolic Multimorbidity: A Systematic Review of Clinical Trajectories.
Background: Managing multimorbidity is a major challenge for healthcare systems. Cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) is highly prevalent and linked to increased disease burden, functional decline, and mortality. While most studies focus on cross-sectional analyses, longitudinal approaches ar...

UnknownCharacterization of reproductive proteins in the Mexican fruit fly points towards the evolution of novel functions.
Seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) modify female phenotypes and have wide-ranging evolutionary implications on fitness in many insects. However, in the Mexican fruit fly, Anastrepha ludens, a highly destructive agricultural pest, the functions of Sfps are still largely unknown. To gain insights in...

UnknownIdentification of Immunogenic Antigens of Naegleria fowleri Adjuvanted by Cholera Toxin.
The intranasal administration of Naegleria fowleri lysates plus cholera toxin (CT) increases protection against N. fowleri meningoencephalitis in mice, suggesting that humoral immune response mediated by antibodies is crucial to induce protection against the infection. In the present s...

UnknownGeneral and abdominal adiposity and hypertension in eight world regions: a pooled analysis of 837 population-based studies with 7·5 million participants.

Background

Adiposity can be measured using BMI (which is based on weight and height) as well as indices of abdominal adiposity. We examined the association between BMI and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) within and across populations of different world regions and quantified how well these two ...

UnknownEquine Welfare in Practice: A Collaborative Outreach and Education Program with Michigan State University, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, and Universidad Veracruzana.
There is great need for veterinary care for working equids worldwide. Addressing this need provides an opportunity for veterinary students to gain primary care experience. An annual two week collaborative outreach and educational program with Michigan State University (MSU), the Universidad Nacional...

UnknownChemical synthesis and optical, structural, and surface characterization of InP-In2O3 quantum dots.
InP-In2O3 colloidal quantum dots (QDs) synthesized by a single-step chemical method without injection of hot precursors (one-pot) were investigated. Specifically, the effect of the tris(trimethylsilyl)phosphine, P(TMS)3, precursor concentration on the QDs properties ...

UnknownWorldwide trends in underweight and obesity from 1990 to 2022: a pooled analysis of 3663 population-representative studies with 222 million children, adolescents, and adults.

Background

Underweight and obesity are associated with adverse health outcomes throughout the life course. We estimated the individual and combined prevalence of underweight or thinness and obesity, and their changes, from 1990 to 2022 for adults and school-aged children and adolescents in 2...
