Intestinal microbiota dataset revealed by high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA in children with anemia in southern Peru.

Anemia is the most common hematological disorder affecting humans. In Peru, anemia is a pressing issue that present the most significant concern due to its adverse effects, such as delayed growth and psychomotor development, in addition to a deficiency in cognitive development. Anemia is a significant public health issue in Peru, which has one of the highest prevalence rates in infants in the Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) region, affecting approximately 43.

Characterization of Pulmonary Bacteriobiota in Critically Ill Patients in Southern Peru through Next-Generation Sequencing Technology.

Sequence variation in the gene is widely used to characterize diverse microbial communities. This was the first pilot study carried out in our region where the pulmonary microbiota of critically ill patients was investigated and analyzed, with the aim of finding a specific profile for these patients that can be used as a diagnostic marker. An study of critical patients mechanically ventilated for non-respiratory indications, in a polyvalent intensive care unit, was carried out; samplee were extracted by endotracheal aspiration and subsequently the microbiota was characterized through Next-Generation Sequencing Technology (NGS).

Determination of microcysts in the cardiac muscle of alpacas () and their correlation with troponin cTnI. A study performed in the high Andean region of southern Peru.

The breeding of alpaca () is one of the most important economic activities in the high Andean areas of Peru. The commercialization of products derived from alpaca represents more than 80% of the income of high-Andean families. However, the infestation of parasites such as in the alpacas causes economic losses that deteriorate the already diminished quality of life of the alpaca breeder.

Intestinal Microbiota in Children with Anemia in Southern Peru through Next-Generation Sequencing Technology.

Knowledge of the sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene constitutes a true revolution in understanding the composition of the intestinal microbiota and its implication in health states. This study details microbial composition through next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in children with anemia. Anemia is the most frequent hematological disorder that affects human beings.

[Childhood anemia in populations residing at different geographical altitudes of Arequipa, Peru: A descriptive and retrospective study].

Objective: To identify the characteristics of anemia in children living at different geographical altitude in the Arequipa Region of Peru.

Methods: We did a descriptive and retrospective study. The population consisted of 106 499 children under five years of age living in the Arequipa Region at different geographical altitude and receiving care by the Ministry of Health of Arequipa.

Bioluminescence resonance energy transfer identify scaffold protein CNK1 interactions in intact cells.

Connector enhancer of KSR (CNK) proteins have been proposed to act as scaffolds in the Ras-MAPK pathway. In this work, using in vivo bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) assays and in vitro co-immunoprecipitation, we show that hCNK1 interacts with the active form of Rho A (G14V) proteins. The domain of hCNK1 that allows binding to Rho proteins involves the C-terminal PH domain.
