Objectives: Analysis of current 2023-2024 (Mp) infection characteristics in adults.
Methods: A retrospective case series analysis was performed on polymerase chain reaction-positive adult patients admitted to the University Hospital of Marseille from April 2017 to June 2024. Clinical presentations, treatments, and outcomes were assessed.

Analyzing soil in large and remote areas such as the Amazon River Basin (ARB) is unviable when it is entirely performed by wet labs using traditional methods due to the scarcity of labs and the significant workforce requirements, increasing costs, time, and waste. Remote sensing, combined with cloud computing, enhances soil analysis by modeling soil from spectral data and overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. We verified the potential of soil spectroscopy in conjunction with cloud-based computing to predict soil organic carbon (SOC) and particle size (sand, silt, and clay) content from the Amazon region.

Acute cocoa flavanols (CF) intake has demonstrated benefits in vasoreactivity, cognitive functions, and antioxidant enzyme activity. However, the physiological mechanisms of CF concerning glucose uptake, inflammatory mediators, and their interplay with aerobic exercise remain unclear in populations with metabolic diseases.

- - A new fish species, Schizodon unimaculatus, has been identified in the lower Rio São Francisco of northeastern Brazil, characterized by a unique mouth structure and distinct coloration patterns.
- - It stands out from similar species due to specific physical features, including scale counts, mouth position, and body proportions, as well as a prominent dark blotch and stripes on its body.
- - The study delves into the taxonomic relationships of Schizodon species, emphasizing how mouth morphology, color patterns, and quantitative characteristics contribute to their classification.
