It is 100 years since the first paper described the multiannual cycles in Arctic rodents and lagomorphs. The mechanisms driving population cycles in animals like lemmings and voles are complex, often attributed to extrinsic factors, such as food availability and quality, pathogens, parasites and/or predators. While extrinsic factors provide insights into population cycles, none fully explain the phenomenon.

However, a comprehensive assessment of animal welfare in these systems is lacking. One reason for this is the large amount of time required for behavioral observations.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and outcomes of same-day discharge laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) using the MBSAQIP database.
Methods: In this retrospective study, the MBSAQIP was queried for patients undergoing non-revisional LRYGB between 2020 and 2021.
Article Synopsis
- Herpes zoster (shingles) is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), affecting about 10-20% of adults over 50 and posing a 30% risk for the general population, especially during winter and spring.
- The study analyzed 50 cases of herpes zoster from October 2020 to April 2021, using PCR to detect VZV in skin lesions by amplifying specific genes (gpB and MCP) and sequencing the results.
- Results showed high similarity to known VZV sequences, identifying six genetic variants and eight single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that caused changes in the gpB protein, with the findings recorded in NCB
