This study measures the real costs associated with acute ischemic stroke care in Latin America using Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC). The findings aim to lay a solid foundation for adopting value-based healthcare (VBHC) strategies in the region.

In recent years, the molecular analysis of the first glyptodont has included them within the cingulates, as a special group of armadillos that lost the mobility of the bands of their armor during their evolutionary history. In this research, we obtained the mitochondrial DNA sequence of the elusive and poorly known glyptodont Neuryurus rudis, inferring its phylogenetic position with respect to the glyptodont Doedicurus sp.
