Empirical studies worldwide show that warming has variable effects on plant litter decomposition, leaving the overall impact of climate change on decomposition uncertain. We conducted a meta-analysis of 109 experimental warming studies across seven continents, using natural and standardised plant material, to assess the overarching effect of warming on litter decomposition and identify potential moderating factors. We determined that at least 5.

Methods: We conducted an anonymous, voluntary, self-administered web- and case-based survey cross-sectional study from October 2023 to January 2024 of neurologists identified through the LACTRIMS database. Questions were presented first through iterative clinical cases or imaging, followed by questions directly evaluating comprehension of definitions.
Introduction: While the general immune response to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) is well-understood, the long-term effects of Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1/Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (HIV-1/SARS-CoV-2) co-infection on the immune system remain unclear. This study investigates the immune response in people with HIV-1 (PWH) co-infected with SARS-CoV-2 to understand its long-term health consequences.
Methods: A retrospective longitudinal study of PWH with suppressed viral load and SARS-CoV-2 infection was conducted.
[Lyme's disease. A critical analysis of its presence in Argentina].
Medicina (B Aires)
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- Lyme disease in Argentina is currently not autochthonous, with no local cases reported, and its diagnosis involves a two-step serological testing algorithm.
- From September 2014 to May 2022, a study analyzed 53 suspected cases, with all confirmed cases showing travel history to affected regions.
- The results revealed a high rate of false positives (91%) from private laboratories, suggesting the need for careful diagnosis based on symptoms and approved testing methods.
Influence of reestablishing greater tuberosity angle on patient outcomes following greater tuberosity fractures.
Eur J Orthop Surg Traumatol
November 2024
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the relationship between changes in glenohumeral joint tilt angle (GTA) and functional outcomes in patients with isolated greater tuberosity fractures after surgical treatment.
- A total of 34 patients were reviewed, with significant reductions in GTA from an average of 84.2° to 62.2° post-surgery, but they still achieved satisfactory functional scores.
- The type of surgical method used didn't significantly impact the outcomes, and there was a notable negative correlation between post-surgery GTA and constant shoulder score, indicating worse functionality with higher post-surgery GTA values.
