Distinct lineages of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) form well-known hybrid zones (HZs) both in the Pyrenees and the Alps mountain ranges in South Europe. These HZs represent unique experimental systems to identify "key genes" that maintain genetic boundaries between emerging species. The Iberian endemism C.

- - This study investigates differences in clinical features and outcomes of non-acute myocardial infarction-associated cardiogenic shock (nAMI-CS) between Hispanic and non-Hispanic patients in the U.S. using data from hospitalizations between 2018 and 2020.
- - Out of 8607 hospitalizations, 832 (9.6%) were Hispanic, who presented as younger and with more co-morbidities like diabetes and heart failure, while having a slightly higher in-hospital mortality rate (18.6% vs. 17%).
- - Hispanic patients experienced longer hospital stays and higher treatment costs compared to non-Hispanic patients, indicating the need for further research to explore the reasons behind these health disparities.
Clinical trials demonstrating improved cardiovascular outcomes with SGLT2 inhibitors have often had limited representation from Black and Hispanic populations. While the mechanisms of action are not well known, ethnicity- or gender-based receptor physiology may render SGLT2 inhibitors a better agent in certain populations over others. A medical records query yielded diabetic patients initiated on SGLT2 inhibitors between 2013 and 2020.

This study aimed to explore links between atrioventricular blocks and additional arrhythmias in Lyme carditis patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature was performed from 1990 to 2023, and aimed to identify cases of Lyme carditis through serology or clinical diagnosis with concomitant arrhythmias.
