Article Synopsis
- Psychedelics are substances that alter thoughts, feelings, and perceptions, with lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) being the most powerful and the first semi-synthetic hallucinogen.
- They are being researched for their potential therapeutic benefits in treating neuropsychiatric disorders and helping with addictions.
- The analysis of 27 serotonergic psychedelic molecules reveals that their potency is linked to their ability to accept electrons and their global softness, enhancing our understanding of how these drugs work.
Context: Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a biodegradable plastic. It was introduced to the plastics market in 1998 and since then has been widely used around the world. The main idea of this research is to perform quantum chemical calculations to study the potential toxicity of PBAT and its degradation products.

This is due to their contribution to the reduction of the intrinsic cognitive load, as well as fostering connections among subjects to promote generative processing. This fact, together with the wide presence of STEM dissemination videos on YouTube, creates an opportunity both for teachers to focus on dissemination channels to acquire quality materials, and for content creators to develop specific videos aiming to serve as pedagogical aid.

Methods: Prospective observational study including a total of 103 oocyte donation cycles between November 2019 and January 2020. Urine LH testing (Akralab SL, Spain, cut-of value 30 mIU/mL) was performed at home in samples from the first micturition in the morning after the GnRHa trigger and a picture of the result was sent to the nurse coordinator; this information was concealed and only disclosed after oocyte aspiration.
Results: From the total group, two cycles were excluded.
Background: Although psoriasis burden and treatment have been well characterized in developed countries, there are scarce in-depth epidemiological studies in Latin American countries.
Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic and clinical features and the economic burden of psoriasis among children and adult patients from Colombia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients from dermatology private practice offices, health provider institutions and hospitals in seven Colombian cities.
