Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the presence of Helicobacter species, specifically H. pylori and "Candidatus H. bovis," in the abomasum of dairy cattle and sheep in Northern Italy, focusing on their potential role in gastric diseases.
- Out of 25 dairy cows and 24 sheep examined, 96% of the bovine samples and 42% of the ovine samples tested positive for Helicobacteraceae, with "Candidatus H. bovis" found predominantly in the bovine pyloric mucosa.
- The findings suggest that "Candidatus H. bovis" is common in cattle but not linked to inflammation, indicating a specific adaptation to bovine hosts, and the potential for cattle and sheep
Article Synopsis
- Limited research exists on dementia publications from Latin America, particularly Brazil, which has been identified as an underrepresented area in scholarly work.
- A comprehensive literature search covering 2010-2021 revealed 2,528 relevant Brazilian publications on dementia, with a significant focus on diagnosis and disease mechanisms.
- The majority of these works came from Southeast Brazil, predominantly São Paulo, with a noticeable gender disparity in authorship roles, and a call for increased studies in epidemiology and economic aspects of dementia across all regions of the country.
Female Reproductive Period Length, Parity and Hormonal Replacement Therapy and Dementia: The Elsi-Brazil Study.
Int J Geriatr Psychiatry
November 2024
Introduction: Alzheimer's disease and other dementia have a higher incidence among women and that risk factors specific to the female sex could be involved. Few studies looked into female reproductive factors and their association with dementia in low-and middle-income countries.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed the baseline data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil) and included data from 2594 women aged 60 years and older.
Background: Given the increasing number of people with dementia in Brazil, there is an urgency for health and social systems to plan strategies to meet the needs of this population and their families. Therefore, research on dementia costs is essential. This study estimated direct and indirect costs related to dementia in Brazil.

- Amphibians are a diverse group of tetrapods facing significant threats, with about 41% of species at risk of extinction due to various factors like habitat loss and climate change.
- Genomic research on amphibians is critical for understanding their biology, including unique traits like tissue regeneration and adaptation, yet it has lagged behind other vertebrates due to technical challenges.
- The newly formed Amphibian Genomics Consortium (AGC) aims to enhance global collaboration and accelerate genomic research in amphibians, with over 282 members from 41 countries already involved.
