Abstract Introduction The majority of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection diagnoses in France involve migrant populations, who face challenges in navigating...

Background: Key populations experience disproportionate HIV burdens and structural barriers to care. Objective: To compare healthcare utilisation, HIV knowledge and barriers between key population groups (KPG) and non-...

The occurrence of abnormalities in amphibians has been reported in many populations, and its increase could be related to environmental pollution and habitat degradation. We evaluated the type and prevalence of abnormali...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains the dominant histologic subtype of primary liver cancer and a major cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Its epidemiology continues to evolve, with metabolic dysfunction-associated ...

Abstract Background The genetic architecture of circulating amino acids (AAs) and microbiota-related metabolites (MRMs) in relation to cardiometabolic disease remains poorly characterized in East Asian populations, limit...

BackgroundThe prevalence of chronic diseases among the Chinese occupational population is rising steadily, with hypertension and diabetes becoming important health concerns. Occupational health examinations (OHE) provide...

Abstract Salivary gland chromosome slides of Anopheles albitarsis from Brasil, Colombia and Venezuela indicate that at least three chromosomally differentiated populations of this species exist in this area. The B1 popul...

Background: Natural disasters pose significant risks to vulnerable populations, particularly pregnant, postpartum, and breastfeeding women, who face increased health and safety challenges during emergencies. Strengthenin...

Of eleven proteins analyzed in four Amazonian populations, the esterases showed the greatest variation, with five activity zones. EST1, EST2 and EST5 showed variation in each of the populations studied. EST1 and EST2 are...

In a recent study we found that crania from South Amerindian populations on each side of the Andes differ significantly in terms of craniofacial shape. Western populations formed one morphological group, distributed cont...

We evaluated the effects of urea addition on gas and effluent losses, fermentation profile, microbial populations, aerobic stability and chemical composition of corn silages. A completely randomised design with five leve...

Turnera sidoides (x=7) is one of the few well-studied South American autopolyploid complexes. Since polyploidy has played a prominent role within this complex, ongoing studies in T. sidoides focus on understanding the me...

Fine scale patterns of genetic structure and dispersal in Triatoma infestans populations from Argentina was analysed. A total of 314 insects from 22 domestic and peridomestic sites from the locality of San Martín (Capay...

Abstract The consumption of tobacco, alcohol, and unhealthy foods is considered the three key factors contributing to preventable morbidity and early mortality worldwide. Inhibitory Control Training (ICT) is suggested as...

This data paper describes bacterial and fungal communities associated with the sponge Chondrilla nucula collected from two Eastern Mediterranean populations (North and South Aegean Sea) and maintained under controlled co...

Information on the variability of wild bean populations and landraces is essential to set conservation strategies and design breeding programmes aimed at enlarging the genetic base of commercial beans. Nineteen Argentine...

Trichodina rectuncinata is one of the trichodinids most widely distributed in marine fish. This ciliate species has been recorded in more than 20 host species belonging to 17 fish families worldwide. Previous comparative...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Social, environmental, economic, and cultural factors—social determinants of health (SDOH)—create structural barriers that limit access to health resources and negatively impact health ou...

In many insects, short photoperiods induce females to lay diapausing eggs, which are associated with a reduction in female fecundity, and/or with an increase in their growth rate, allowing for a larger size at adulthood....

Extraction of inbred lines is a very important step in maize breeding since these lines will be used to obtain hybrids intended for the market. However, this expensive process, hinders genotype evaluation in contrasting ...

Aim. To determine the characteristics of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and sleep disturbances among civilian and military populations during the war in Ukraine. Materials and methods. The...

Neste trabalho objetivou-se selecionar as melhores populações de cevadilha vacariana (Bromus auleticus) mediante avaliação do seu desempenho agronômico e de caracteres morfológicos relacionados à persistência. Oi...

Abstract Background Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) are widely used for the management of type 2 diabetes and obesity, yet their long-term cardiovascular effects in high-risk populations continue to ...

The capybara, Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, is an herbivorous rodent widely distributed throughout most of South American wetlands that lives closely associated with aquatic environments. In this work, we studied the geneti...
