Photoperiod and temperature are two of the most powerful environmental cues that entrain circadian clocks. Being ectothermic, fish must keep their body temperature within a physiological range to optimize biological processes mainly applying behavioral strategies. Here, we developed a low-cost, automated system that allows to create a horizontal multiple-step thermal gradient and video record fish behavior for long-term periods.

- Susac syndrome, multiple sclerosis, and primary angiitis of the central nervous system often present similar symptoms, making accurate diagnosis a challenge; the study aimed to improve this through a new scoring system called the SPAMS score.
- The research involved 99 patients from South America and utilized an elastic-net model to determine important MRI features for distinguishing between these conditions.
- The SPAMS score demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy, effectively differentiating SuS from MS and PACNS, highlighting the importance of specific MRI findings for timely interventions and potentially better patient outcomes.
Behavior is predicted to be a primary determinant of the success of the invasion process during the early phases of colonization. Comparing invaders with sympatric native species may provide a good approach to unravel behavioral traits involved in an invasion process. In this study, we carried out an experimental simulation of the introduction and the acclimatization phase into a new environment and assessed the expression of activity, alertness, and habituation in an invasive Mediterranean population of the South African nudibranch comparing its profiles with those of the sympatric Mediterranean native nudibranchs and .

- The study explores how adding natural additives to a new compostable bioplastic made from milk scraps can improve its mechanical strength and thermal stability for practical use.
- Incorporating 2 mm and 10 mm long fibers increased the ductility and compressive strain significantly, enhancing the material's overall performance without compromising compostability.
- The combination of fibers and organic particulates resulted in a stronger, more durable bioplastic, demonstrating excellent compatibility and improved thermal stability, highlighting the ecological benefits of using natural reinforcement agents.
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a significant global health challenge. Understanding the current and upcoming treatment landscape is crucial for effectively managing patients.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the pattern of prescription and knowledge about new therapies by physicians who treat AD patients in Argentina.
