Improving our ability to monitor fragmented tropical ecosystems is a critical step in supporting the stewardship of these complex landscapes. We investigated the structural characteristics of vegetation classes in Ucayali, Peru, employing a co-production approach. The vegetation classes included three agricultural classes (mature oil palm, monocrop cacao, and agroforestry cacao plantations) and three forest regeneration classes (mature lowland forest, secondary lowland forest, and young lowland vegetation regrowth).

Thalassemic diseases are characterized by a reduced (β) or absent (β) synthesis of the globin chains of hemoglobin (Hb) due to genetic mutations. β-thalassemia was more frequent in the Mediterranean area, but now it is diffused worldwide. Three possible genetic forms can be distinguished: β/β, the most severe (Cooley's disease); β/β of intermediate severity; β/β associated with β-thalassemia intermedia or minor.

is a Gram-negative bacterium, commonly found as a commensal germ in the oral cavity of dogs and cats. It is an opportunistic pathogen, but, in specific situations, it can cause very severe diseases, including arthritis, pleuritis, endocarditis, sepsis, and, in extremely rare cases, meningoencephalitis. The predisposing situations include immunosuppression, liver cirrhosis, splenectomy, hemochromatosis, beta thalassemia major (Cooley's anemia), and alcohol abuse.

Background: Neuroimaging reveals structural brain changes linked with HIV infection and related neurocognitive disorders; however, group-level comparisons between people with HIV and people without HIV do not account for within-group heterogeneity. The aim of this study was to quantify the effects of comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and adverse social determinants of health on brain ageing in people with HIV and people without HIV.
Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, people with HIV from Washington University in St Louis, MO, USA, and people without HIV identified through community organisations or the Research Participant Registry were clinically characterised and underwent 3-Tesla T-weighted MRI between Dec 3, 2008, and Oct 4, 2022.
