Exploring freshwater soundscapes of tropical marshland habitats in Southeast Asia: insights into auditory sensory adaptation of wild Siamese fighting fish .

While soundscapes shape the structure and function of auditory systems over evolutionary timescales, there is limited information regarding the adaptation of wild fish populations to their natural acoustic environments. This is particularly relevant for freshwater ecosystems, which are extremely diverse and face escalating pressures from human activities and associated noise pollution. The Siamese fighting fish is one of the most important cultured species in the global ornamental fish market and is increasingly recognized as a model organism for genetics and behavioural studies.

First microsatellite markers for the Amazonian species Copaifera multijuga Hayne developed using next-generation sequencing.

Background: Native to the Amazon region, Copaifera multijuga Hayne is a large tree (≈ 36 m in height) that is heavily exploited for extraction of its oleoresin. Many studies have addressed the phytochemical properties and applications of this raw material; however, there are few initiatives that have focused on the genetic characterization of native populations of this species. To this end, our objective was to develop microsatellite markers for C.

"Enhancing cognitive and social functioning in acquired brain Injury: The role of virtual reality and computerized cognitive training".

Introduction: Cognitive deficits in acquired brain injury patients, particularly in domains like attention, memory, executive function, and social cognition, affect patients' quality of life. While rehabilitation strategies often focus on conventional methods, emerging technologies like Virtual Reality and computerized cognitive training offer new approaches. This study explores the efficacy of a tablet-based cognitive training program and the use of Virtual Reality for social cognition assessment .

Twice-Yearly Lenacapavir for HIV Prevention in Men and Gender-Diverse Persons.

Background: Twice-yearly subcutaneous lenacapavir has been shown to be efficacious for prevention of HIV infection in cisgender women. The efficacy of lenacapavir for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in cisgender men, transgender women, transgender men, and gender-nonbinary persons is unclear.

Methods: In this phase 3, double-blind, randomized, active-controlled trial, we randomly assigned participants in a 2:1 ratio to receive subcutaneous lenacapavir every 26 weeks or daily oral emtricitabine-tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF).

Prognostic Scores for Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Patients.

Background: Numerous prognostic scores have been developed and used in intensive care; however, the applicability and effectiveness of these scores in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury may vary due to the characteristics of this population.

Objective: To assess the predictive capacity of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (SAPS III), Sequential Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Nursing Activities Score (NAS) prognostic scoring systems for acute kidney injury in critically ill patients.

Methods: Cohort, prospective and quantitative study with follow-up of 141 critical patients in intensive care.
