Introduction: Living kidney donation (LKD) is one of the most used alternatives in the field of organ transplantation.
Objective: Analyze the attitude toward LKD among the population of Havana, Cuba.
Methods: Population under study. Population resident in Havana, Cuba.
Inclusion Criteria: Sample of population over 15 years stratified by age and sex.
Instrument: Validated questionnaire of attitude toward donation and transplant "PCID-DVR-Ríos," self-administered and anonymously filled out.
Statistics: χ, Student t test, and a logistic regression analysis.
Results: A total of 920 respondents have been included in the study. A total of 85.5% (n = 787) are in favor of the related LKD. In our study, 26.5% (n = 244) would remain in favor of unrelated LKD. Regarding the related LKD, the following variables remain independent in the multivariate analysis: 1. having studies (odds ratio [OR] = 3.649; P = .018); 2. attitude toward cadaveric organ donation (OR = 8.547; P < .001); 3. religion (OR = 4.385; P = .001); 4. opinion of the couple (OR = 4.672; P = .028); and 5. risk with living donation (OR = 10.989; P = .003).
Conclusions: The population of Havana has a very favorable attitude toward related LKD. Only a quarter of respondents are in favor of unrelated LKD.

Although urbanization is a major threat to biodiversity, some native species have managed to persist in urban areas. Populations of such species often show phenotypic differences with their rural counterparts. A crucial question is whether such differences result from different selection regimes between habitats.

As a result, domesticated-wild hybridization may potentially affect individual fitness, leading to maladaptive effects such as shifts in behavior or life-history decisions (e.g.

Background: The heterologous three-dose schedule of the protein subunit anti-COVID-19 SOBERANA®02 and SOBERANA® Plus vaccines has proved its safety, immunogenicity and efficacy in pediatric population, but durability of immunogenicity is not yet dilucidated. This study reports the safety and durability of the humoral and cellular responses in children and adolescents 5-7 months after receiving the heterologous vaccine schedule of SOBERANA® 02 and SOBERANA® Plus.
Methods: Children participating in a phase I/II clinical trial were followed-up for 5-7 months after the last dose.

The objective of this perspective article is to explore the creation of a new syndrome specific to the Canadian city of Montreal: Conophobia. In a more academic way, the aim is to think about the process which leads to the creation of a new clinical entity and to question how the name of a disease is chosen. In the literature, it is illustrated by syndromes with a name of a city: Stockholm syndrome, Stendhal syndrome, Pisa syndrome, Havana syndrome, Paris syndrome, Lima syndrome or Copenhagen syndrome.
