JARVIS3: an efficient encoder for genomic data.

Motivation: Large-scale genomic projects grapple with the complex challenge of reducing medium- and long-term storage space and its associated energy consumption, monetary costs, and environmental footprint.

Results: We present JARVIS3, an advanced tool engineered for the efficient reference-free compression of genomic sequences. JARVIS3 introduces a pioneering approach, specifically through enhanced table memory models and probabilistic lookup-tables applied in repeat models.

A Comparative Retrospective Study on Surgical Versus Conservative Treatment of Simple Fifth Metacarpal Neck Fractures.

Introduction The fifth metacarpal neck fracture is a common injury, and the treatment of such injuries is still a matter of debate. It typically presents in young adults of working age, and it represents a significant burden for both the health services and the patient. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of operative and conservative treatment of this fracture.

Epidemiological situation of bovine and bubaline tuberculosis in the state of Pará, Amazon region of Brazil.

Introduction: Bovine tuberculosis is one of the primary infectious diseases affecting cattle. Although several countries have managed to eradicate this zoonosis it remains endemic and uncontrolled across many countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Brazil launched its national control and eradication program in 2001, and since then, epidemiological studies have been carried out to define optimal control strategies and to enable the management of the process in each region.

AltaiR: a C toolkit for alignment-free and temporal analysis of multi-FASTA data.

Background: Most viral genome sequences generated during the latest pandemic have presented new challenges for computational analysis. Analyzing millions of viral genomes in multi-FASTA format is computationally demanding, especially when using alignment-based methods. Most existing methods are not designed to handle such large datasets, often requiring the analysis to be divided into smaller parts to obtain results using available computational resources.

Retrospective survival analysis of the use of uncemented modular tapered stems for revision in periprosthetic Vancouver B-type fractures. Is instability a threat to survival?

Introduction And Objectives: Periprosthetic hip fractures show increasing incidence and complexity, representing a challenge for the surgeon. We aimed to evaluate the survival of uncemented modular tapered stems in the treatment of periprosthetic Vancouver B2 and B3 type fractures and review the main complications and factors associated with decreased survival.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients submitted to revision arthroplasty for treatment of periprosthetic femoral stem Vancouver B2 and B3 type fractures with an uncemented modular fluted tapered stem (MRP-Titan).
