Emergence of in Minas Gerais, Brazil: Genomic Surveillance to inform Rapid Public Health Responses.

poses a significant global health threat due to its multidrug-resistance and outbreak potential. In this study, we report its emergence in Minas Gerais, Brazil, supported by genomic surveillance that identified Clade-IV isolates, suggested a potential introduction from Colombia, and detected a missense mutation associated with azole resistance.

Gestational length of Thoroughbred mares kept in tropical and subtropical climates.

Gestation length (GL) in horses varies widely, influenced by multiple variables, including maternal, fetal, and environmental factors. This study aimed to investigate and quantify the relative contributions of climatic (photoperiod and temperature-humidity index - [THI]), maternal (age and parity), fetal (sex) and environmental (year and month of foaling) variables influencing gestation length in Thoroughbred mares. Retrospective data encompassing 704 pregnancies across nine breeding seasons in tropical and subtropical Brazilian climates were analyzed.

Sociocultural attitudes towards appearance questionnaire-4-revised (SATAQ-4R): validation in a community sample of Norwegian adolescents.

Background: Negative body image and disordered eating are common among adolescents and young adults. The Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-4-Revised (SATAQ-4R) captures the internalization of societal appearance ideals and perceived pressures from others but has not been validated in a Norwegian adolescent population.

Methods: The current study explored the factor structure of SATAQ-4R in a sample of adolescent Norwegian males and females (n = 1558, mean age 17.

Assessment of pathogenicity in goats: implications for transmission dynamics and host resistant.

, commonly associated with ovine babesiosis, poses a significant threat to sheep health, often resulting in severe clinical manifestations and high mortality rates. However, the impact of on goats has remained uncertain, prompting us to investigate its pathogenicity in caprine hosts. Experimental infections using -infected blood inoculation and infected tick infestation, were conducted on spleen-intact (n=5) and splenectomized (n=5) goats.

General exercises are not superior to specific exercises for pain and functional disability in individuals with chronic nonspecific neck pain. A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To compare the effectiveness of general exercises with specific exercises for pain and functional disability of individuals with chronic nonspecific neck pain.

Method: This systematic review of clinical trials searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, CENTRAL, and PEDro databases with no date or language restriction. Methodological quality of evidence were assessed using the PEDro scale and GRADE, respectively.
