Wb14 of Wuchereria bancrofti, an orthologue of Brugia malayi SXP-1 and W. bancrofti SXP-1, was amplified from genomic DNA of W. bancrofti microfilaria collected from four distant geographical locations in India viz., Vellore, Bhubaneshwar, Pondicherry and Sevagram. The gene was sub-cloned in a prokaryotic vector pRSET and expressed in Escherichia coli as a truncated protein (approximately 23kDa). The nucleotide sequence of the gene is 98% similar to that of WbSXP-1 and is found to be intron-less. However, the analysis and comparison of the derived amino acid sequence with WbSXP-1 showed that Wb14 is truncated at amino acid position 153. The distribution of the two genes in the studied four geographical locations indicated that WbSXP-1 is prevalent only in parasite samples from Sevagram while Wb14 is present in parasites from all the other locations. Only a limited polymorphism was observed in both the genes among the parasites from different geographical locations.

Unlabelled: Widespread recognition of food as medicine interventions' role in reducing food insecurity and improving health outcomes has recently emerged. Several states have released In Lieu of Services, state-approved alternative services that may be offered by managed care organizations in place of covered benefits, or 1,115 Medicaid waivers, which may allow for expanded nutrition services to reduce food insecurity and improve health outcomes. However, there are significant gaps in understanding how to create a statewide system for delivering "healthcare by food" interventions.

Use of Lung Volume Recruitment Technique in Patients With Chronic Respiratory Disease Among Brazilian Health Professionals.

Lung volume recruitment (LVR) is a stacked-breath assisted inflation technique in which consecutive insufflations are delivered, without exhaling in between, until the maximum tolerable inflation capacity is reached. Although LVR is recommended in some neuromuscular disease guidelines, there is little information detailing when and how allied health professionals (AHPs) prescribe LVR. This study is aimed at describing the use of LVR in practice across Brazil.

Background: Sarcopenia, a prevalent muscle disorder in the older adults, is characterized by accelerated loss of muscle mass and function, contributing to increased risks of falls, functional decline, and mortality. The relationship between dietary oxidative balance score (DOBS) and sarcopenia, however, remains unclear.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2018 cohort, which included 8,240 participants, aged 47.
