Incidence and management of internal hernia after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass without preventive closure of mesenteric defects: a single-center retrospective study.

The rising prevalence of obesity has led to an increase in bariatric procedures, with laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) being one of the most commonly performed surgeries due to its efficacy and safety. However, internal hernia (IH) remains a significant complication post-LRYGB. The debate over preventive closure of mesenteric defects (MD) during LRYGB continues, with no consensus on the optimal technique.

Analysis of diversity and an updated catalog of mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) in the Capivari-Monos Environmental Protection Area, São Paulo, Brazil.

The Capivari-Monos Environmental Protection Area (EPA) is located in the southern part of the São Paulo city Green Belt. Since the 1950s, this region has been affected by uncontrolled urban sprawl, resulting in a change in the ecological habits of some vector mosquitoes. Over the last two decades, cases of autochthonous bromeliad malaria associated with the presence of anopheline mosquitoes in the EPA have been recorded.

Taxonomic history, biology and ecology of Culex (Microculex) (Diptera: Culicidae).

Microculex is a subgenus of Culex that is mainly associated with natural breeding sites in wild environments such as cut bamboos, tree holes and bromeliads. However, recent findings of Culex (Microculex) species in bromeliads in urban areas and in artificial breeding sites close to human habitations suggest that they are becoming more tolerant of urbanization. Whilst dispersion studies of this subgenus have shown the ecological valency of some species in relation to human-impacted areas, there is a scarcity of studies on the blood-feeding habits, vector capacity and taxonomy of Microculex.

One of the most promising approaches to treating obesity consists of reducing dietary fat absorption using extracts from plants because they contain phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids. , belonging to the Rhamnaceae family, is one of the five species belonging to the genus.

Use of Essential Oils to Counteract the Phenomena of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock Species.

Antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly widespread phenomenon that is of particular concern because of the possible consequences in the years to come. The dynamics leading to the resistance of microbial strains are diverse, but certainly include the incorrect use of veterinary drugs both in terms of dosage and timing of administration. Moreover, the drug is often administered in the absence of a diagnosis.

Phytochemical Composition and Pharmacological Efficacy Evaluation of , , and Essential Oils for the Control of Honeybee () Varroosis.

is currently considered the parasite that causes the greatest damage and economic losses to honeybee farms. Its presence is often associated with that of viral and bacterial pathogens, which ultimately leads to colony collapse. Careful control of the parasitic load is therefore necessary to avoid the onset of these events.

Rapid solid-liquid dynamic extraction of Jan ex Guss. aerial parts: influence on the photobiological and antioxidant properties.

Jan ex Guss. (Apiaceae) is a perennial plant native to Italy and Northwestern Africa. This species is known for its content in furanocoumarins, and the methanolic extract obtained with maceration previously demonstrated significant phototoxicity on 375 melanoma cells.

Chemical Profile of Essential Oils of Selected Lamiaceae Plants and In Vitro Activity for Varroosis Control in Honeybees .

The most significant ectoparasitic mite of honeybees, , has a detrimental effect on bee health and honey output. The principal strategy used by the control programs is the application of synthetic acaricides. All of this has resulted in drug resistance, which is now a major worry for beekeeping.

Plants and Their Derivatives as Promising Therapeutics for Sustainable Control of Honeybee () Pathogens.

The most important pollinator for agricultural crops is the Western honeybee (). During the winter and summer seasons, diseases and stresses of various kinds endanger honeybee numbers and production, resulting in expenses for beekeepers and detrimental effects on agriculture and ecosystems. Researchers are continually in search of therapies for honeybees using the resources of microbiology, molecular biology, and chemistry to combat diseases and improve the overall health of these important pollinating insects.

Spenn. (Lamiaceae) Hydroalcoholic Extract: Phytochemical Analysis, Antioxidant Activity and In Vitro Evaluation of Fatty Acid Accumulation.

Spenn. is a native Mediterranean shrub belonging to the Lamiaceae family and is well-known as a flavoring and spicing agent. In addition to its classical use, it has drawn attention because its biological activities, due particularly to the presence of polyphenols, including carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid, and phenolic diterpenes as carnosol.

The role of forest fragmentation in yellow fever virus dispersal.

The intense process of deforestation in tropical forests poses serious challenges for the survival of biodiversity, as well as for the human species itself. This scenario is supported by the increase in the incidence of epidemics of zoonotic origin observed over the last few decades. In the specific case of sylvatic yellow fever (YF), it has already been shown that an increase in the transmission risk of the causative agent (yellow fever virus - YFV) is associated with areas with a high degree of forest fragmentation, which can facilitate the spread of the virus.

Assessment of wing geometric morphometrics of urban Culex quinquefasciatus (Diptera: Culicidae) populations.

Culex quinquefasciatus is a cosmopolitan species distributed throughout tropical and subtropical areas of the world. The species is of great epidemiological importance as it is responsible for vectoring the causative agent of lymphatic filariasis and several arboviruses, including West Nile virus. Wing geometric morphometrics has been widely used to assess phenotypic variations in mosquito species.
