The discharge of industrial wastewater with dyes into natural tributaries has serious environmental consequences on aquatic ecosystems and the health of living beings. Atmospheric plasmas have proven to be very useful for the degradation of organic contaminants in water; in this context, corona type discharge, owing to its physical characteristics, is capable of degrading and even mineralizing dyes dissolved in water. In this work, zeolite was used as a catalyst in the degradation of the textile azo dye Direct Orange 39 (DO39) through interaction with plasma generated at atmospheric pressure.

- Dilated cardiomyopathy is a rare genetic heart condition, and the study focused on the drug ARRY-371797, showing initial promise in improving walking distance after 12 weeks and maintaining benefits over 144 weeks.
- The REALM-DCM trial was a phase 3 study involving patients with specific genetic traits and heart failure symptoms, comparing ARRY-371797 against a placebo over 24 weeks with multiple outcomes of interest.
- The trial was stopped early due to an interim analysis showing that ARRY-371797 did not significantly improve key measures like walking distance or overall heart function compared to placebo, indicating futility in continuing.
Polymorphisms of CCR5, IL-6, IFN-γ and IL-10 genes in Cuban HIV/AIDS patients.

Introduction: Genetic studies have shown associations of several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) with different rates of progression and variation in susceptibility to HIV infection. This study aimed to estimate the frequency of ccr5Δ32, IL-6-174G/C, IFN-γ+874T/A and IL-10-1082A/G polymorphisms in Cuban HIV-infected patients and a group of sero-discordant couples to assess their influence on risk and disease progression.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 120 subjects registered at the Institute of Tropical Medicine «Pedro Kour» (IPK) and the Ameijeiras Hospital from June 2018 until December 2019.
The adequate records of climatological variables, especially temperature and radiation, constitute the basis to be able to determine the photovoltaic and agrivoltaic potential of a region, for this purpose, the data collected must be extremely precise, so it is required that they be focused, current and reliable, to have an adequate estimation. This paper presents the dataset used to estimate the photovoltaic potential of the Yaqui Valley, Sonora, México, for agrivoltaic systems, with the objective of determining the photovoltaic energy generation capacity. Specific records of temperature, radiation and humidity variables obtained from 21 meteorological stations distributed in the Yaqui Valley are used to determine the photovoltaic potential in relation to planting surfaces and commercially available agrivoltaic technologies.
