Background: Seedling growth and survival depend on seedling quality. However, there is no experimental evidence showing that the seedling dimensions of the abundant, economically important and widely distributed tree species , , , , and and their hybrids effectively improve survival and growth in reforestations and plantations in Mexico. Therefore, the aim was to evaluate the influence of initial morphological parameters of 2,007 nursery seedlings of these species and their hybrids on their growth and survival 44 months after planting in the Sierra Madre Occidental, Mexico.

- Ustekinumab is approved for treating ulcerative colitis (UC), and this study evaluated its long-term effectiveness and tolerability in real clinical settings.
- In a multicenter analysis of 620 UC patients, 25% discontinued treatment, with baseline anemia, steroid use, and severe disease linked to higher discontinuation rates.
- At 16 weeks, 40% of patients were in steroid-free remission, and treatment was generally safe with no adverse effects on other conditions, indicating good long-term durability for difficult-to-treat cases.
Background And Objectives: inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has a major impact on psychological well-being. This condition is associated with a high level of anxiety and mood disorders, but stress prevalence and how an individual copes with IBD have not been sufficiently explored. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of the disease on psychological disorders and to identify coping strategies used by patients with IBD, as well as to analyze the relationship between these variables and sociodemographic and clinical variables.

- - Cervical cancer is the fourth most prevalent cancer in women globally, with a significant risk among those who are immunosuppressed, particularly due to AIDS or organ transplants, as they struggle to clear persistent HPV infections.
- - European guidelines suggest that women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are on immunosuppressive therapy should be screened for cervical cancer as frequently as other high-risk groups, though solid evidence supporting this practice is lacking in Spain.
- - A study conducted from 2020-2021 at a Spanish university hospital analyzed risk factors for low-grade and high-grade cervical lesions in women with IBD, comparing patients with cervical abnormalities to a control group and exploring their disease characteristics, treatment histories, and
Forest plantations and natural forests perform a relevant role in capturing CO and reducing greenhouse gas concentrations. The objective of this study was to compare the diameter increment, biomass and carbon accumulation in a plantation of and a naturally regenerated stand. The data were collected from 32 circular plots of 100 m (16 plots in the planted site and 16 in naturally regenerated area).
