Lichens represent one of the most successful examples of symbiosis. They are constituted by the association between a dominant fungus (i.e.

- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) co-occur, showing distinct differences in how they affect males and females, despite similar risk factors for both sexes.
- In a study using male and female mice, males on a high-adenine diet developed more severe CKD and displayed significant cardiac issues, like left ventricular hypertrophy and prolonged QTc intervals, compared to females.
- A new ECG marker called S-J duration was identified, increasing with disease progression, and highlighting the importance of studying these sex-specific cardiac differences in CKD-induced CVD.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of yolk-sac-derived microglia in Alzheimer's disease (AD), focusing on the gene ADGRG1 and its impact on microglial protective responses.
- Microglial deficiency of ADGRG1 was shown to increase amyloid plaque buildup, worsen brain pathology, and speed up cognitive decline in mouse models.
- The findings suggest that targeting microglial functioning, particularly through ADGRG1, could lead to new treatments to slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
Despite the diagnostic capacity of ultrasonography (US) in cases of bovine enzootic hematuria (BEH), it has been underused in the medical clinic for ruminants. Studies comparing ultrasound findings in healthy animals (HA) with subclinical (SCH) and clinical (CH) BEH are scarce in the literature. As a result, the present work aims to describe the US findings of cattle at different stages of BEH evolution, evaluating the diagnostic capacity and precocity of the technique.
