Article Abstract
Hb Plasencia is a thalassemic hemoglobin (Hb) mutation caused by a leucine to arginine replacement at residue 125 of the α2-globin chain (HBA2:c.377T>G). This variant was first described in the heterozygous state in association with a very mild α-thalassemic phenotype in three members of a Spanish family from Plasencia, Western Spain. Reviewing the molecular characterization of 308 Portuguese individual suspected of having α-thalassemia (α-thal) we found Hb Plasencia to be the second most frequent mutation after the -α(3.7) deletion.

Livestock grazing and trampling have been shown to reduce arthropod populations. Among arthropods, defoliating lepidopterans are particularly important for their impact on trees, the keystone structures of agroforestry systems. This study investigates the impact of livestock on the community of defoliating lepidopterans in agroforestry systems.

Aronia, haskap, and goji berries are characterized by their high content of bioactive compounds and their beneficial health properties as well as their resistance to harsh agronomic conditions. In this work, cultivars of these species growing in a mountainous region of central-western Spain were characterized by analyzing physicochemical parameters and bioactive compounds. Goji fruits showed the highest total soluble solid content and the lowest acidity values.

Alders are widely distributed riparian trees in Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. Recently, a strong reduction of alder stands has been detected in Europe due to infection by species (Stramenopila kingdom). This infection causes a disease known as alder dieback, characterized by leaf yellowing, dieback of branches, increased fruit production, and bark necrosis in the collar and basal part of the stem.

Introduction: The complex physiological and psychological responses to regular exercise are yet to be fully elucidated. Exercise strongly modulates the immune system, inducing a plethora of dynamic responses involving the innate immune cell function and inflammatory processes that contribute to both potential health benefits and harmful side effects. Indeed, the relationship between physical exercise, stress, immunity, and metabolism serves as a paramount model of neuroimmunoendocrine interaction.

Article Synopsis
- Clinical practice guidelines emphasize the importance of diagnosing specific anxiety disorders to ensure effective treatment, but misdiagnosis as unspecified anxiety can hinder appropriate care.
- A study conducted interviews with 32 Veterans Health Administration providers to assess their knowledge and attitudes regarding anxiety disorder diagnostics and their impact on treatment.
- Findings revealed that while most providers felt familiar with diagnostic criteria, opinions varied on the significance of detailed diagnoses for patient treatment and outcomes, indicating a need for further research to bridge this gap.
