Beyond blood: the flexibility of triatomine bug food search and recognition.
Curr Opin Insect Sci
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Kissing bugs are effective blood-feeders, using cues like carbon dioxide and heat to locate their warm-blooded hosts, but recent studies show they may also feed on cold-blooded animals and insects.
- - The bugs utilize various sensory signals, such as temperature changes and odors, for feeding decisions, and are now found to consume plant or fruit fluids, indicating a more diverse diet than previously thought.
- - Future research should explore how kissing bugs sense and react to different sensory inputs from various hosts and plant sources, which could inform strategies for surveillance and control, as well as shed light on their evolutionary transition from predatory to blood-feeding behavior.
Article Synopsis
- PNES (Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures) and FND (Functional Neurological Disorders) are gaining attention from healthcare professionals, highlighting their complexity and comorbidity with psychiatric conditions.
- The systematic review shows that PNES and FND often occur alongside disorders like autism, BPD, PTSD, and are frequently linked to histories of trauma and neglect.
- The findings suggest a biopsychosocial model where early life experiences contribute to the development of these conditions, particularly in young female patients, and call for improved assessment and treatment strategies.
The role of TandemHeart combined with ProtekDuo as right ventricular support device: A simulation approach.
Comput Methods Programs Biomed
December 2024
Background And Objective: Right ventricular failure increases short-term mortality in the setting of acute myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, advanced left-sided heart failure and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Percutaneous and surgically implanted right ventricular assist devices (RVAD) have been investigated in different clinical settings. The use of the ProtekDuo™ is currently a promising approach due to its features such as groin-free approach leading to early mobilisation, easy percutaneous deployment, compatibility with different pumps and oxygenators, and adaptability to different configurations.

Single cell biology is an ideal and powerful tool to address these features at a molecular level. However, this approach requires enzymatic cell dissociation that can influence cellular coverage.
