are Mediterranean agro-sylvo-pastoral systems sensitive to climate change. Extreme climate conditions forecasted for Mediterranean areas may change soil C turnover, which is of relevance for soil biogeochemistry modeling. The effect of climate change on soil organic matter (SOM) is investigated in a field experiment mimicking environmental conditions of global change scenarios (soil temperature increase, +2-3 °C, W; rainfall exclusion, 30%, D; a combination of both, WD).

Mycotoxins and endocrine disruptors such as phytoestrogens can affect cattle health, reproduction, and productivity. Most studies of mycotoxins in dairy feeds in Mexico and worldwide have been focused on a few (regulated) mycotoxins. In contrast, less known fungal toxins, phytoestrogens, and other metabolites have been neglected and underestimated.

Article Synopsis
  • Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) are complex pediatric conditions influenced by various genetic factors, making accurate diagnosis crucial.
  • A study involving 55 Argentine children utilized targeted gene panel and whole exome sequencing, revealing that re-analyzing genetic data can significantly improve diagnostic outcomes.
  • The overall diagnostic yield increased from 38% to 53% after re-evaluation, leading to the identification of novel genetic variants associated with DEE.
