Purpose: Malnutrition is frequent in hospitalized patients and is related to functional decline and poorer clinical outcomes. The Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is a globally implemented malnutrition tool. We aimed to perform a linguistic and content validation of the translation and cultural adaptation of the PG-SGA for the Spanish language setting.

Deaths occurring due to rattlesnake envenomization are extremely rare and must be thoroughly investigated in the same manner as any other type of death. Our research presents the case of an adult white male who suffered a fatal timber rattlesnake (Crotalus horridus) envenomation in northwest Florida in 2018. Blood samples were taken from the decedent's heart and vasculature of the chest and sent for serum proteomic analysis.

Glyphosate is the most commonly used herbicide globally, which has contributed to its ubiquitous presence in the environment. Glyphosate application rates and delivery to surface water vary with land use. Streams in urban and agricultural catchments can experience continuous delivery of low concentrations of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), while their presence in forest streams occurs as an episodic pulse following silvicultural application.

Article Synopsis
  • Glyphosate, a widely-used herbicide, is utilized in agriculture and environments like sugar cane fields in Florida, but its runoff poses threats to aquatic wildlife and has been linked to health issues such as kidney and liver damage in animal studies.
  • In a study, adult male largemouth bass were exposed to different concentrations of glyphosate and Rodeo® for 21 days, leading to significant reductions in steroid hormones, including androgens and estrone.
  • RNA sequencing revealed that glyphosate exposure altered gene expression related to hormone biosynthesis and immune processes, indicating potential endocrine disruption and impacting T-cell activation in the bass.
