A virtual community of practice to empower patients with recent ischemic heart disease: A randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual community of practice (vCoP) in improving the activation of individuals with ischemic heart disease (IHD).

Method: We conducted a randomized controlled trial. A total of 282 patients with IHD from Madrid, Catalonia, and the Canary Islands were randomly allocated to an intervention or a control group.

Expanding the antiprotozoal activity and the mechanism of action of n-butyl and iso-butyl ester of quinoxaline-1,4-di--oxide derivatives against , , and An and approach.

In this study, n-butyl and iso-butyl quinoxaline-7-carboxylate-1,4-di--oxide derivatives were evaluated against () (), and (). The potential mechanism of action determination was approached by analysis on and triosephosphate isomerase (TIM and TIM, respectively), and on thioredoxin reductase (). Enzyme inactivation assays were performed on recombinant GTIM and TrxR.

Quinoxaline 1,4-di--oxide Derivatives as New Antinocardial Agents.

Mycetoma is currently considered as a neglected tropical disease. The incidence of mycetoma is unknown but most of the worldwide cases are present in the "mycetoma belt" including countries like Mexico, India, Senegal, and others. The treatment of mycetoma depends on the etiological agent responsible for the case.

An Aphid Pest Superclone Benefits From a Facultative Bacterial Endosymbiont in a Host-Dependent Manner, Leading to Reproductive and Proteomic Changes.

The English grain aphid, Sitobion avenae, is a significant agricultural pest affecting wheat, barley, and oats. In Chile, the most prevalent and persistent clone (superclone) of S. avenae harbors the facultative endosymbiont bacterium Regiella insecticola.

Water deficit and aphid resilience on wheat: examining Sitobion avenae F. and their bacterial symbionts interplay under controlled laboratory conditions.

Background: Climate change has far-reaching effects on food security and agriculture, affecting crop yields and food distribution. Agriculture relies heavily on water for irrigation and production, making it vulnerable to water scarcity. Additionally, climate change can affect crop pest insects, leading to increased global crop losses, particularly in cereals, an important component of the human diet.
