The article analyzes the relationships between disease, knowledge, and settlement of the Brazilian territory within the context of the Strategic Telegraph Commission from Mato Grosso to Amazonas, more famously known as the Rondon Commission. From 1907 to 1915, the commission traversed broad regions of what are now the states of Mato Grosso, Rondônia and Amazonas as part of its endeavor to set up telegraph lines that would link these regions to the country's main cities. Over time, the malaria, endemic to the places visited by the commission, forced it to abandon some of its goals and delay achievement of others. The article focuses on how the disease impacted the work of the commission and highlights creation of a sanitary service intended primarily to control malaria.

Investigation of the diagnostic accuracy of basophil activation test for allergic phenotypes of rhinitis.
Allergy
November 2024
Allergy Unit, Hospital Regional Universitario de Malaga, Malaga, Spain.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the potential of the Basophil Activation Test (BAT) as a replacement for the Nasal Allergen Challenge (NAC) in diagnosing different types of rhinitis due to allergies.
- It involved testing rhinitis patients with various allergens and analyzing the results of BAT alongside traditional skin prick tests to categorize patients into allergic and non-allergic phenotypes.
- Findings suggest BAT has a high ability to confirm allergic rhinitis, especially in patients with positive skin prick tests, while also identifying cases of allergy in patients who test negative on skin prick tests.
Host plant preference of Lygus hesperus (Hemiptera: Miridae) in 4 field crops: potato, alfalfa, carrot, and pea.

The western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus (Knight), has emerged as a pest of potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) in the Lower Columbia Basin of Oregon and Washington. This species is generally found infesting several other field-grown crops in the region; however, their host preference is poorly understood.

A novel, easily prepared and accessible water-soluble supramolecular catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura CC coupling reaction was synthesized and characterized by FTIR, NMR, XRD, SEM, and HR-TEM. An inexpensive Pd(II) source added to the resulting aqueous solution of thioglycolic ester β-cyclodextrin (1-TGA-SH-β-CD/PdCl) showed Pd nanoclusters and efficient catalytic activity for Suzuki-Miyaura CC coupling reactions of aryl halides with aryl boronic acids, employing KCO as base, in an environmentally benign aqueous solution prepared in open flasks. Organic aryl halides including chlorides can produce moderate to excellent yields with aryl boronic acids and a small catalytic amount (0.
