Twenty-two autosomal short tandem repeats included in the PowerPlex® Fusion System Amplification kit (Promega Corporation) were genotyped in a population sample of 500 unrelated individuals from Cabo Verde living in Lisboa. Allelic frequency data and forensic and statistical parameters were calculated and evaluated in this work. The genetic relationship among immigrant population from Cabo Verde living in Lisboa and other populations, such as Brazilian and Angola immigrants living in Lisboa; Afro-Americans, Caucasians, Hispanics and Asians living in the USA and the population from Lisboa was assessed, and a multidimensional scaling plot was drown to show these results.

Viability and Motility of Under Elevated Martian Salt Stresses.
Life (Basel)
November 2024
Astrobiology Group, Center of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Technical University Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany.
This study investigates the effects of three Martian-relevant salts-sodium chlorate, sodium perchlorate, and sodium chloride-on the viability and motility of , a model organism for understanding microbial responses to environmental stress. These salts are abundant on Mars and play a crucial role in forming brines, one of the few sources of stable liquid water on the planet. We analyze the survivability under different salt concentrations using colony plating.

This study aimed to investigate the moderating effect of frailty on the relationship between cognition and symptoms of depression in individuals aged ≥65 and to explore differences between four European regions (West, North, South, and East). A cross-sectional analysis was conducted with 29,094 participants (16,365 women) from 27 countries, aged ≥65 years, who responded to wave 8 of the SHARE project. The variables analysed were depression (12-item EURO-D scale), frailty, and a general cognition index (CogId).

Using a panel study design, we aimed to estimate the seroconversion and seroreversion rates of anti-Strongyloides IgG antibodies from surveys carried out 11 months apart in a rural community in the Amazon Basin in Brazil. We used enzyme immunoassays to measure anti-Strongyloides IgG antibodies in 325 baseline plasma samples and 224 others that were collected 11 months later from residents in the agricultural settlement of Granada, Acre State. We observed anti-Strongyloides IgG antibodies in 21.

Internal Medicine, Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Lisboa Central, Lisbon, PRT.
Echinococcosis is caused by larvae, the metacestode stage of the tapeworm , and poses a public health issue in many developing countries. It generally affects a single organ, most commonly the liver or lungs, and rarely involves multiple organs. We present the case of a 24-year-old Indian man living in Portugal, who was admitted to the Emergency Department with left-sided thoracic pain radiating to the back.
