Anisakids from 5 different species of cetacean, Kogia breviceps, Peponocephala electra, Stenella clymene, Stenella longirostris and Steno bredanensis, were submitted to genetic analysis. Adults and larvae fixed in ethanol-formalin-acetic acid or in 70% ethanol for periods ranging from 10 months to 10 years were isolated from 9 cetaceans stranded on Ceará coast, Northeast Brazil. The 18S rDNA gene, ITS1, and specific Anisakis typica ITS regions were amplified by PCR. 18S rDNA and ITS1 region confirmed Anisakis sp. morphological identification but also detected the presence of Aspergillus sp. in longer preserved samples. All samples were identified as A. typica by ITS species-specific PCR. The study report three new definitive hosts of A. typica from the Brazilian Atlantic coast by genetic analysis: P. electra, K. breviceps, and S. clymene.

Circulating Blood-Based Proteins in Psychopathology and Cognition: A Mendelian Randomization Study.
JAMA Psychiatry
March 2025
Institute of Behavioral Science, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, Manhasset, New York.
Importance: Peripheral (blood-based) biomarkers for psychiatric illness could benefit diagnosis and treatment, but research to date has typically been low throughput, and traditional case-control studies are subject to potential confounds of treatment and other exposures. Large-scale 2-sample mendelian randomization (MR) can examine the potentially causal impact of circulating proteins on neuropsychiatric phenotypes without these confounds.
Objective: To identify circulating proteins associated with risk for schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and major depressive disorder (MDD) as well as cognitive task performance (CTP).

Background: The few reported patients with pathogenic IRF8 variants have manifested 2 distinct phenotypes: (1) an autosomal recessive severe immunodeficiency with significant neutrophilia and absence of or significant decrease in monocytes and dendritic cells and (2) a dominant-negative form with only a decrease in conventional type 2 dendritic cells (cDC2s) and susceptibility to mycobacterial disease.
Objectives: Genetic testing of a child with persistent EBV viremia identified a novel IRF8 variant: c.1279dupT (p.
Investigating the role of eight SNPs in for COPD susceptibility in the Chinese elderly population.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly in China. Genetic predisposition is a recognized risk factor for COPD, with emerging as a promising candidate gene due to its involvement in smoking behavior and lung function. This study aimed to investigate the association between eight SNPs and COPD susceptibility in the Chinese elderly population.

During the early growth stages of fish larvae, there are significant challenges to their viability, so improving their visual environment is essential to promoting their growth and survival. Following the successful knockout of thyroid hormone receptor beta 2 () using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technology, there was an increase in the expression of UV opsin (short-wave-sensitive 1, ), while the expression of other cone opsins was significantly decreased. Further analysis of the retinal structure demonstrated that the knockout resulted in an increased lens thickness and a decreased thickness of the ganglion cell layer (GCL), outer plexiform layer (OPL), and outer nuclear layer (ONL) in the retina.
