Molecular and functional convergences associated with complex multicellularity in Eukarya.

A key trait of Eukarya is the independent evolution of complex multicellular (CM) in animals, plants, fungi, brown algae and red algae. This phenotype is characterized by the initial exaptation of cell-cell adhesion genes followed by the emergence of mechanisms for cell-cell communication, together with the expansion of transcription factor gene families responsible for cell and tissue identity. The number of cell types (NCT) is commonly used as a quantitative proxy for biological complexity in comparative genomics studies.

Association between the aromatase () gene variant rs10046 and cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women.

Objective: To assess the genotypic and allelic distribution of the rs10046 polymorphism in the gene and evaluate whether this aromatase gene variant is associated with cardiovascular risk in postmenopausal women.

Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed repository-stored samples from 370 postmenopausal women aged 44-72 years. Clinical, metabolic, and hormonal data were collected.

Postpartum furosemide for accelerating recovery in patients with preeclampsia: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial: Furosemide for postpartum hypertension.

Background: Preeclampsia is a major hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, which may lead to severe complications, particularly in the first two weeks of the postpartum period. During the postpartum period, blood pressure levels remain high, often increasing to levels higher than those experienced during pregnancy. Furosemide, a fast-acting diuretic, reduces the intravascular volume overload and may represent an alternative to accelerate the normalization of blood pressure levels.

Modulation of Eimeria spp. parasite load on productivity parameters in lambs fed with babassu byproduct.

This study investigated the modulation of Eimeria spp. parasite load and its impact on productivity parameters in lambs fed varying levels of babassu by-product (BBP). Twenty-four Dorper × Santa Inês lambs naturally infected with Eimeria spp.
