Echo-Biometry Assessment of a Quadruple Pregnancy in a Captive Capybara.

A 5-year-old female capybara, conditioned ex situ before mating, was monitored by ultrasound to establish prenatal growth and assess fetal echo-biometric variables. The records were taken twice weekly until delivery (i.e.

[Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and hemolytic anemia: two severe and unusual complications of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis].

Unlabelled: The most frequent cause of nephritic syndrome in the pediatric population is acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN). A rare complication is posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), characterized by subcortical vasogenic cerebral edema associated with variable neurological symptoms. The development of autoimmune hemolytic anemia is an atypical clinical presentation.

[Evaluation of the usability of patients attended in gastrointestinal telemedicine postpandemic at University clinic].

Unlabelled: Telemedicine has grown during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gastroenterology at Clínica Universidad de los Andes has continued it post-pandemic. Usability is the measure by which users evaluate the effectiveness, efficiency, and satisfaction in telemedicine.

Plasma proteomic signature of chronic psychosocial stress in mice.

Chronic stress significantly impacts both physical and mental wellbeing, increasing risk of cardiovascular disease, immune dysregulation, and psychiatric conditions such as depression and anxiety disorders. The plasma proteome is a valuable source of biomarkers of health and disease, but the limited number of studies exploring the potential of the plasma proteome as a biomarker for stress-related disorders underscores the importance of further investigation of the effects of chronic stress on the plasma proteome. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a 5-week chronic psychosocial stress paradigm on the plasma proteome in mice and to determine if any affected proteins correlated with stress-induced changes in behaviour and physiology, and thus might represent biomarkers of negative impacts of chronic stress.

Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) Salivary Glands Morphology.

Morphological studies concerning salivary glands have emerged as an exciting tool to understand feeding habits. In this sense, this study aimed to describe capybara salivary glands morphology to understand potential morphological associations to this species feeding habits. Macroscopic dissections and microscopic analyses were performed on eight specimens.
