Tibetan wild asses (Equus Kiang) are the only wild species of perissodactyls on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and appears on the International Union for Conversation of Nature (IUCN) 2012 Red List of threatened species. Therefore, understanding the gut microbiota composition and function of wild asses can provide a theoretical for the situ conservation of wild animals in the future.In this study, we measured the dry matter digestion by the 4 molar hydrochloric acid (4N HCL) acid-insoluble ash method...

Stock assessment of the geoduck clam Panopea globosa in Mexico has been based on data-poor without consideration of the biological traits of the species, promoting a passive management strategy without biological reference points for its harvest and conservation, which results in limited advice regarding the sustainability of the fishery. The stock assessment was supported on an integrated catch-at-size assessment model. The model described the population changes, including recruitment, selectivity,...

Background Although conservation of pristine habitats is recognized in many countries as crucial for maintaining pollinator diversity, the contribution of secondary forest conservation is poorly recognized in the Latin American context, such as in Guatemala. San Lucas Tolimán (SLT) is a high-quality coffee production region from the Atitlan Province, which has the second highest deciduous forest cover in Guatemala and pristine forest is prioritized for conservation. In contrast, secondary forest...

Auxin response factor (ARF) proteins respond to biological and abiotic stresses and play important roles in regulating plant growth and development. In this study, based on the genome-wide database of sugar beet, 16 BvARF proteins were identified. A detailed investigation into the BvARF family is performed, including analysis of the conserved domains, chromosomal locations, phylogeny, exon-intron structure, conserved motifs, subcellular localization, gene ontology (GO) annotations and expression...

Background During the growth of complex multicellular organisms, chronological age, size and morphology change together in a hierarchical and coordinated pattern. Among extinct species, the growth of Tyrannosaurus rex has received repeated attention through quantitative analyses of relative maturity and chronological age. Its growth series shows an extreme transformation from shallow skulls in juveniles to deep skulls in adults along with a reduction in tooth count, and its growth curve shows that...

Background Cuticular waxes cover plant surface and play important roles in protecting plants from abiotic and biotic stresses. The variations of wax deposition and chemical compositions under changing environments have been shown to be related to plant adaptations. However, it is still not clear whether the wax depositions could be adjusted to increase plant adaptations to stressed conditions. Methods In this study,...

This article aimed to give the visibility of Latin American researchers’ contributions to the comprehension of COVID-19; our method was a literature review. Currently, the world is facing a health and socioeconomic crisis caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and its disease COVID-19. Therefore, in less than 4 months, researchers have published a significant number of articles related to this novel virus. For instance, a search focused on the Scopus database on 10 April 2020, showed 1,224...

We aimed to examine oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, and macro‐ and microvascular function in response to 30 days of oral antioxidant (AOx) administration in patients with HFrEF. What is the main finding and its importance? We observed a ∼2‐fold improvement in macrovascular function, assessed via brachial artery flow‐mediated dilation, and a reduction in oxidative stress following AOx administration in patients with...

New Findings What is the central question of this study? Does passive heat acclimation alter glomerular filtration rate and urine concentrating ability in response to passive heat stress? What is the main finding and its importance? Glomerular filtration rate remained unchanged following passive heat stress, and heat acclimation did not alter this response. However, heat acclimation mitigated the reduction in urine concentrating ability and reduced the incidence of albuminuria in young...

New Findings What is the central question of this study? This study sought to investigate if young adults reporting low sleep quality possessed lower vascular function and altered autonomic nervous system modulation when compared to young adults reporting high sleep quality. What is the main finding and its importance? The study revealed that in young adults reporting low sleep quality, neither vascular nor autonomic function was significantly different when compared to young...

Abstract Mice missing either Reelin or Disabled‐1 (Dab1) exhibit dorsal horn neuronal positioning errors and display heat hypersensitivity and mechanical insensitivity. Reelin binds its receptors, Apolipoprotein E receptor 2 and Very‐low‐density lipoprotein receptor, leading to the recruitment and phosphorylation of Dab1 and activation of downstream pathways that regulate neuronal migration. Previously, we reported that 70% of Dab1 laminae I‐II neurons co‐expressed LIM homeobox transcription factor...

Abstract The human amygdala is considered a key region for successful emotion recognition. We recently reported that temporal lobe surgery (TLS), including resection of the amygdala, does not affect emotion recognition performance (Van de Vliet et al. , 2018). In the present study, we investigate the neural basis of this preserved function at the network level. We use generalized psychophysiological interaction and graph theory indices to investigate network level characteristics of the emotion...

It is the sixth day since I saw my first patient with Covid-19. I have become acutely aware of my breathing. Each inhale tugs against the stiffness of the mask, creating the slightest vacuum suction. It’s that suction pressure that leaves the marks on our faces, marks we’ve grown accustomed to. My…

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 6, June 2020. A horseshoe kidney is a congenital kidney malformation commonly associated with complications such as hydronephrosis, renal calculi, and infections of the renal pelvis. Renal cell carcinoma is extremely rare in a horseshoe kidney; once it occurs, however, it is intractable because of vascular abnormalities. This is especially true in laparoscopic nephron-sparing surgery, even for tumors of <4 cm in diameter. We herein report...
