An Unusual Presentation of Plantar Psoriasis: A Case Report.

Plantar psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, typically characterized by erythematous plaques with thick silvery scales localized on the soles. This condition can significantly impair patients' quality of life, particularly through pain and mobility challenges. It is considered a subtype of plaque psoriasis but presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its specific location.

Changes and collapse in lacustrine system in Antarctic Peninsula ice-free area: Boeckella and Buenos Aires lakes.

Some Antarctic ice-free areas have been affected by changes in lacustrine zones and permafrost thawing due to rising air temperatures over the last 60 years Temperature time-series were analyzed to understand the processes leading to the changes of Boeckella and Buenos Aires lakes, north Antarctic Peninsula. Statistical calculations were applied to average, maximum, and minimum temperatures, as well as to indexes such as Positive Degrees Day, Freezing/Thaw Day, and days with temperatures ≥ 0 °C and ≥ 10 °C. Changes in the region over recent decades were observed in mean and maximum temperatures and an increase in minimum temperature since the mid-1990s.

A new tool to quantify biodiversity change under landscape transformation.

Identifying how species richness or diversity changes with different proportions of natural and anthropized environments in the landscape is important for landscape management for conservation. Here, we propose a new method to assess biodiversity changes in landscapes with varying proportions of habitat types. The algorithm is based on the resampling of individuals recorded in different habitats considering both the proportion occupied by each habitat in the landscape and the number of individuals recorded in each habitat.
