Characteristics of Madariaga and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus Infections, Panama.

Madariaga virus (MADV) and Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) are emerging arboviruses affecting rural and remote areas of Latin America. However, clinical and epidemiologic reports are limited, and outbreaks are occurring at an increasing frequency. We addressed the data gap by analyzing all available clinical and epidemiologic data of MADV and VEEV infections recorded since 1961 in Panama.

Electrochemical Screening and DFT Analysis of Acetylacetonate Metal Complexes in Organic Solvents.

Seven acetylacetonate (acac) metal complexes ranging from early transition metals to post-transition metals were examined by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile (MeCN), dichloromethane (DCM), tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and dimethylformamide (DMF). The electronic potential of any observed redox events is reported along with an analysis of the reversibility of those events across a range of scan rates. Group 8 compounds Fe(acac) Ru(acac) showed at least quasi-reversible reductions across all solvents while Ru(acac) also featured a reversible oxidation.

Healthcare resource utilization and costs in pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension in a third-level hospital in Mexico.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the healthcare costs and resource utilization of pediatric pulmonary arterial hypertension management at a third-level hospital in Mexico. A retrospective cohort study was conducted in a pediatric population with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Only direct medical costs, derived from pharmacological treatment, laboratory tests, physician visits and hospitalizations, were considered.

Prenatal stress promotes insulin resistance without inflammation or obesity in C57BL/6J male mice.

During gestation, stress exposure increases the risk of developing cognitive and physiological alterations in either the long or short term. Among them, metabolic alterations have been described. Adipose tissue is responsible for the secretion of several factors involved in controlling body weight and energy expenditure, the regulation of insulin sensitivity, and the development of inflammation, among others.
