has wild habits with ecological plasticity in anthropized environments. We report the occurrence of this species in several types of artificial containers in 2 fragments of the Atlantic Forest in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. A total of 1,428 larvae were collected, in which plastic containers had the highest abundance of immature forms of Li.

The scope of this transformation shows excellent compatibility with both electron-rich and electron-poor diazonium salts, yielding the desired products in very good yields at room temperature.

Motor and cognitive activities and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have shown promise in stabilizing and enhancing cognitive functions. Objective: we want to investigate the effects of tDCS combined with motor or cognitive activity on cognitive functions in AD patients.

- The study focuses on PLA2G6-associated neurodegeneration (PLAN), which includes three diseases with similar symptoms, particularly highlighting infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD), a condition that affects vision and motor skills from an early age.
- Researchers estimated the genetic prevalence of PLAN using two approaches: collecting genetic variant data from various databases and analyzing literature to find additional relevant variants. They determined that the estimated prevalence ranges from 1 in 987,267 to 1 in 1,570,079 pregnancies.
- The findings indicate a significant underdiagnosis of PLAN and suggest a higher presence of PLA2G6 variants in African and Asian populations, emphasizing the need for better diagnostic efforts
Analysis of diversity and an updated catalog of mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) in the Capivari-Monos Environmental Protection Area, São Paulo, Brazil.

December 2024
The Capivari-Monos Environmental Protection Area (EPA) is located in the southern part of the São Paulo city Green Belt. Since the 1950s, this region has been affected by uncontrolled urban sprawl, resulting in a change in the ecological habits of some vector mosquitoes. Over the last two decades, cases of autochthonous bromeliad malaria associated with the presence of anopheline mosquitoes in the EPA have been recorded.
