Distinctive genomic features of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1-related adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma in Western populations.

Adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL) is an aggressive malignancy driven by human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1). Although patients from the Western hemisphere (Afro-Caribbean and South American) face worse prognoses, our understanding of ATLL molecular drivers derives mostly from Japanese studies. We performed multi-omic analyses to elucidate the genomic landscape of ATLL in Western cohorts.

Comparing open and closed cell stents in idiopathic intracranial hypertension: A comprehensive meta-analysis of clinical outcomes.

Open cell stents (OC) and closed cell stents (CC) each offer unique advantages and potential drawbacks in the context of idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) treatment. We aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of using OC and CC for IIH. We conducted a systematic review in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases following the PRISMA guidelines.

Isocycloseram: A new active ingredient for leaf-cutting ants control.

Leaf-cutting ants are the most important pests in several cropping systems in the Neotropics. Granulated baits containing active ingredients, considered hazardous by the Stockholm Convention, are the usual method to control these ants. Isocycloseram is a new insecticide molecule with high safety margin for mammals, but without registration for the ants in general.
