Background: Cardiovascular (CV) disease is a leading cause of death in pregnant women globally, especially in low- and middle-income countries including Latin America (LATAM), where there is lack of data on how cardiologists are trained in cardio-obstetrics (CO) and the practice patterns in the care of pregnant patients.
Objectives: The authors aimed to identify CO competency and practice patterns among LATAM general cardiologists.
Methods: An anonymous cross-sectional Google-based electronic survey was sent via email to clinical cardiologists through local American College of Cardiology chapters and CV societies.
Aquaculture stands as the fastest-growing food fish sector, expected to satisfy global demand for aquatic products. However, its expansion has led to disease emergence, adversely affecting both production and biodiversity. In response, since the mid-1990s the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) has developed initiatives, notably the Aquatic Animal Health Code and the Manual of Diagnostic Tests for Aquatic Animals, aimed at harmonising health standards for international trade in aquatic animals.

Background: Candy cane (CC) syndrome is a complication that occurs following Roux-en-Y bypass (RYGB), implicated as a long, small-bowel blind limb at gastrojejunostomy possibly caused using circular staplers.
Objectives: We aimed to report our experience with CC resection and improving outcomes following RYGB.
Setting: University hospital.
Article Synopsis
- Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) serve as inspiration for creating 'inch-worm' robots that utilize biomimicry and can adapt to various environments, including natural and extraterrestrial settings.
- A new mathematical method called Multi-Body Dynamics for Inching-Locomotion Caterpillar Robots (MBD-ILAR) is introduced to simulate the movement of these robots and includes calculations for factors like kinematics and dynamics, focusing on specific robot design aspects.
- A case study was conducted to apply this method, which involved developing a graphical user interface to optimize robot actuator choices and validate the simulation results by analyzing how different parameters influence attachment forces and mechanical performance.
Article Synopsis
- The space race has evolved over the past 50 years with advancements in mechatronic systems, particularly focusing on bio-inspired mobile-planetary robots, though none have been successfully deployed on the Moon yet.
- Progress has been made in designing robotic systems using biomimetic principles, optimizing them for operation in environments similar to the Moon's surface, like regolith simulants.
- This study reviews and analyzes 482 papers on animal-inspired robotic systems, categorizing them based on locomotion techniques and showcasing the potential for future lunar exploration through innovative designs that mimic the characteristics of various animals.
