The present work includes the description of Gyrinicola pilyolcatzin n. sp. (Nematoda: Oxyurida) collected from the large intestine of tadpoles of the Montezuma frog, Rana montezumae.

Advancing nuclear transfer cloning in zebrafish (Danio rerio) into a translational pathway using interdisciplinary tools.

The Zebrafish International Resource Center (ZIRC) is an NIH-funded national stock center and germplasm repository that maintains and distributes genetically modified and wild-type zebrafish (Danio rerio) lines to the biomedical research community. The ZIRC and its community would benefit from incorporating somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) cloning which would allow the preservation of diploid genomes. The goal of this study was to advance a zebrafish SCNT cloning protocol into a reproducible community-level pathway by use of process mapping and simulation modeling approaches to address training requirements, process constraints, and quality management gaps.

Hepatic encephalopathy: experimental drugs in development and therapeutic potential.

Introduction: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) presents a complex pathophysiology, creating multiple potential treatment avenues. This review covers current and emerging treatments for HE.

Areas Covered: Standard therapies, including non-absorbable disaccharides and rifaximin, are widely used but show inconsistent efficacy.

Immigrant Health and Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Disparities: Results From the Spanish Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Consortium.

Purpose: To better understand immigration disparities among a Spanish Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer (SECOC) subset, according to the country of origin.

Patients And Methods: We selected 250 consecutive participants from the SECOC consortium. Data on baseline patient and tumor characteristics, family history of colorectal cancer (CRC), and follow-up were collected.
