Co-Creation in the Development of Digital Therapeutics: A Narrative Review.

Digital therapeutics (DTx) are transforming healthcare delivery through personalised, evidence-based interventions that offer a cost-effective approach to health management. However, their widespread adoption faces significant barriers including privacy concerns, usability issues, and integration challenges within healthcare systems. This review assesses the current evidence on DTx, with a particular focus on the role of co-creation in enhancing design and usability.

Characterization of the complete mitogenome data of collared peccary, (Linnaeus, 1758) (Suina: Tayassuidae) from Ucayali, Peru.

The collared peccary ( Linnaeus, 1758) is a vital resource for the subsistence and economy of the Amazonian inhabitants. Despite its importance, there is a notable lack of genetic information on Peruvian collared peccary populations. This study presents the complete mitogenome of from Peru, obtained by Illumina sequencing.

The Impact of Cholecystectomy on the Metabolic Profile of Patients Previously Submitted to Bariatric Surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of late cholecystectomy following bariatric surgery on the postoperative evolution of weight loss and biochemical, metabolic, and micronutrient parameters.

Methods: A retrospective study that assessed 86 patients who underwent cholecystectomy after at least 18 months of bariatric surgery. The analyzed variables included demographic data, comorbidities, weight loss, and biochemical, metabolic, and micronutrient parameters.

Newborns with microcephaly in Brazil and potential vertical transmission of Oropouche virus: a case series.

Background: Oropouche fever, an orthobunyavirus disease endemic in Brazilian Amazon, has caused many febrile epidemics. In 2024, an epidemic of Oropouche fever spread in Brazil, with more than 7930 cases reported between Jan 1 and Aug 31. Infections in pregnant people have suggested the possibility of negative fetal consequences, therefore we tested newborns with microcephaly for known congenital pathogens and Oropouche virus (OROV).

The MOVECLIM - AZORES project: Bryophytes from Terceira Island along an elevation gradient.

Background: Systematic studies on the biodiversity of bryophytes along elevational gradients have been conductuted within the native vegetation of the Azores, using the MOVECLIM framework. The primary objective of this study was to inventory the bryophytes present within preserved areas of native vegetation in Terceira Island (Azores). From 25 to 28 September 2012, an inventory of the bryoflora was carried out along an elevational gradient, starting near Serreta lighthouse (38.
