AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
A checklist of the 39 species of blow flies (Calliphoridae and Mesembrinellidae) so far known to occur in Venezuela is provided, based on a thorough literature review and the examination of ca. 500 specimens deposited in the main entomological collections of the country. Data from the literature and museum collections were used to generate distribution maps for 37 species. Three species are recorded from Venezuela for the first time: (Wiedemann, 1830), Aldrich, 1925 and Aldrich, 1922.

The 30-year evolution of oral cholera vaccines: A case study of a collaborative network alternative innovation model.
PLOS Glob Public Health

Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute, Genève, Switzerland.
Cholera outbreaks have been rapidly increasing around the world. While long-term cholera prevention and control measures rely on improvements in water, sanitation, and hygiene, oral cholera vaccines (OCVs) are used for prevention and control in the short-to-medium term. OCVs lack the market incentives available in other more profitable disease areas.

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by damage to cortical circuits. However, the mechanisms underlying AD-associated changes in long-range circuits remain poorly understood.
Methods: In this study, we used viral tracing and fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography (fMOST) imaging to investigate whole-brain changes in the input circuit of the frontal cortex of 5×FAD mice.
Brain-inspired wiring economics for artificial neural networks.

School of Physical Science and Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai 200092, P. R. China.
Wiring patterns of brain networks embody a trade-off between information transmission, geometric constraints, and metabolic cost, all of which must be balanced to meet functional needs. Geometry and wiring economy are crucial in the development of brains, but their impact on artificial neural networks (ANNs) remains little understood. Here, we adopt a wiring cost-controlled training framework that simultaneously optimizes wiring efficiency and task performance during structural evolution of sparse ANNs whose nodes are located at arbitrary but fixed positions.

Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Universidad Continental, Lima, Peru.
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have evolved into a global development burden, with nearly 40 million infections and 25 million deaths. Compared to other age groups, youth have increased risks of contracting the disease due to social and health structural factors; thus, additional efforts are needed to effectively tackle the challenges associated with this age group. Epidemiological studies employing unsupervised learning techniques are essential for shaping public health policies.

The source-receptor relationship of atmospheric mercury is a critical environmental concern. However, comprehensive evaluations of mercury pollution based on spatially resolved and time-averaged data have not yet been conducted in Korea. In this study, the spatio-temporal variations of total gaseous mercury (TGM) and mercury isotopes were examined using passive air samplers at 30 sites in Ulsan over one year.
