The self-healing of concrete through the use of bacteria is an ecological, sustainable, and environmentally friendly method that can replace time-consuming and costly repairs. The aim of this research was to isolate and select spore-forming bacilli with potential for concrete self-healing. Soil samples from the limestone mines of Simbal, Trujillo, La Libertad, Peru were used.

- - The study investigates epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in Spanish children, highlighting its importance as an indicator for cardiovascular diseases, especially since visceral fat poses a greater risk than subcutaneous fat.
- - Conducted on a sample of 227 elementary and high school students, the research assessed various health metrics, including BMI, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and EAT thickness, using regression and discriminant analysis methods.
- - Findings revealed that higher EAT thickness is linked to male gender, increasing BMI, waist circumference, hypertension, elevated LDL cholesterol levels, and the presence of metabolic syndrome in children.
Article Synopsis
- Cetuximab, a therapeutic monoclonal antibody used in cancer treatment, lacks sufficient data regarding risks of mishandling in hospital environments, prompting a need for studies on its stability under various stress conditions.* -
- The study evaluated the impact of factors like light exposure, temperature fluctuations, and agitation on cetuximab's physical and functional properties, using advanced analytical techniques to assess its quality attributes.* -
- Findings indicated that light exposure caused significant degradation of cetuximab, leading to harmful changes in its structure and effectiveness, suggesting that the drug should be protected from such conditions to maintain its safety and efficacy.*
Context In vitro embryo production in pigs is an important tool for advancing biomedical research. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) circumvents the polyspermy problems associated with conventional IVF in porcine. However, the suboptimal efficiency for ICSI in pigs requires new strategies to increase blastocyst formation rates.

CCC progresses with myocardial perfusion abnormalities and histopathological events that affect cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF).
Objectives: We evaluated the effects of aerobic physical training (APT) on myocardial perfusion and on morphological and functional impairments related with inflammation and fibrosis in Syrian hamsters with CCC.
