This study aimed to describe reproductive ecology based on morphological aspects of Peckoltia oligospila in stream rapids, eastern Amazon. A total of 186 fish (75 males and 111 females) were collected. The sex and gonadal maturity stage of these specimens were obtained based on histological characteristics of the gonads.

This study aimed to evaluate whether the presence and diversity of S. aureus Enterotoxin genes mastitis-causing are associated with the development and severity of mastitis in dairy cows.

This study aimed to identify the frequency and antimicrobial resistance profile of in the swine production chain, assess the presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL), and compare resistance profiles across different sample types. A total of 622 samples of swine carcasses from various points of the slaughter process (n = 400), swine feces (n = 100), commercial cuts (n = 45), environment (n = 67), and feces from employees (n = 10) of a pig slaughterhouse certified by the Federal Inspection Service, located in São Paulo state, Brazil, were collected.

- One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) conversions to Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) are analyzed in a study focused on mid-term outcomes and reasons for conversion at a UAE center between 2016 and 2023.
- Out of 64 patients, the main reasons for conversion were acid reflux, intractable nausea, and malnutrition, with a surgical complication rate of about 4.6% and a mean follow-up of 26.2 months.
- The results indicate a high resolution rate of symptoms (96.8%) after conversion, highlighting the significance of addressing issues like acid reflux in patients experiencing difficulties with OAGB.
Article Synopsis
- Advances in diagnostic techniques and environmental changes have led to heightened surveillance of arboviruses in the Amazon, revealing more insect-specific viruses in blood-feeding arthropods.
- The study documented the first isolation of a specific virus from mosquitoes in the Brazilian Amazon by collecting specimens from a forested area and using cell cultures for viral isolation.
- The research identified a mosquito batch positive for a particular genus, marking the first report of insect-specific alphavirus isolation in Brazil and within Amazon Forest remnants.
