Article Synopsis
- The 2020 megafires in the Brazilian Pantanal devastated 43% of unburned land, leading to mass wildlife mortality and significant changes in mammal species' habitat use.
- Of the eight mammal species studied post-fire, six showed declining occupancy, with the giant armadillo suffering the steepest drop, while jaguars experienced increased habitat use and stable density.
- The findings suggest that megafires negatively impact species distribution and emphasize the need for broader research to understand long-term population trends in affected areas.
Background: Cervical cytology remains widely used as the initial tool in cervical cancer screening worldwide. WHO guidelines recommend replacing cytology with primary HPV testing to reach cervical cancer elimination goals. We assessed the performance of cytology and high-risk HPV testing to detect cervical precancer, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) grade 3 or worse (CIN3+) among women aged 30-64 years participating in the ESTAMPA study.

However, the resilience of interspecific spatial associations to human habitat modification remains largely unknown, particularly in tropical regions where anthropogenic impacts are often greatest. We applied multi-state multi-species occurrence models to camera trap data across nine tropical landscapes in Colombia to understand how prominent threats to forest ecosystems influence Neotropical carnivore occurrence and interspecific spatial associations, with implications for biotic interactions.

The seventh session of the Oncological Pathology Conference (JoPaO) entitled 'Pathological Anatomy in the context of the National Cancer Law: An overview of the Latin American experience', was held virtually on July 15, 22 and 23. Peru was the headquarters for this event, where 17 national and international professors of high academic standing participated. They interacted in a multidisciplinary context through talks with national panellists and the general public.

Material And Methods: This 7-year retrospective single-arm review study includes IC procedures performed by three pathologists between 2012 and 2018.
