Norovirus is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) globally. Few longitudinal studies have assessed norovirus-associated AGE incidence across age groups in community settings in Latin America. During April 2015-April 2019, active surveillance for AGE among community members of all ages was conducted through household visits two to three times per week in San Jeronimo, Cusco, Peru.

Emerging research underscores a significant interaction between KRAS and microRNAs (miRNAs) in these cancers, with miRNAs playing key roles as both regulators and mediators within the KRAS signaling framework. The concept of oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is explored as a protective mechanism against tumor development, examining how K-RAS signaling is meticulously adjusted to bypass senescence, thereby enhancing cell growth and survival.

Our findings substantiate that inflows and outflows of FDI have different implications for waste recycling, where an increase of 1% OFDI implies an increase of recycling ratio by 0.03%, a relationship that is potentially contingent upon the inherent characteristics of the flow itself in relation to its contributions to local productivity dynamics.

- - Norovirus accounts for 18% of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) cases globally, and this study focuses on its incidence in Lima, Peru, while exploring the potential effects of introducing a norovirus vaccine.
- - In a 6-month study involving 498 healthy children aged 5 to 18 months, researchers found that 32% of AGE cases were positive for norovirus, with a significant number of co-infections from bacteria like Campylobacter and Salmonella.
- - The findings indicate that norovirus is a major cause of AGE in this population, highlighting the need for an effective vaccine to improve public health outcomes, especially given the high coverage of the oral rotavirus vaccine among the children studied.

Article Synopsis
- - The bond between children and caregivers is crucial for developing various skills, especially for children with complex communication needs who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
- - Effective communication with AAC users doesn't come naturally, and targeted training programs have been shown to help parents and caregivers acquire the needed skills to support their children's communication at home.
- - This paper examines parent training programs to identify key competencies required for effective communication, recommending strategies such as responsivity, wait time, and prompting to improve AAC support in the home environment.
