New records of 14 stygobiont crustacean species pertaining to six Malacostraca orders from 32 cenotes are presented, with their associated caves of the state of Yucatan, Mexico, together with an individual account for each species. Species composition of most of the investigated cenotes is examined for the first time. A thermosbaenacean and two amphipod species were not formally recorded to the cenote ecosystems of the state of Yucatan prior to our research. Distribution data of a cirolanid isopod previously known only from its type locality is also provided. Barcodes of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I for the reported peracarid species previously lacking this information have been included in present study as tools for species identification and a baseline of further molecular genetic analyses.

The Linear Retrograde Infiltration (LiRi) Technique for Buttock Fat Infiltration: A Cohort Evolution.
Aesthet Surg J
January 2025
Plastic surgeon in private practice, Guadalajara, México.
Background: Autologous fat grafting in the buttocks has gained great popularity However, one of the main risks is infiltration of fat into the systemic venous system, leading to potential complications such as macroscopic fatty embolism (MAFE), which can be fatal.
Objectives: This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of the LiRi (Linear Retrograde infiltration) for autologous fat grafting in the buttocks, and its evolution over a six-month follow-up period.
Methods: The procedure was performed in 114 patients.
Gastroduodenal Obstruction Due to Bouveret's Syndrome: A Case Report.

Surgery, Hospital General Tacuba, Institute for Social Security and Services for State Workers (ISSSTE), Mexico City, MEX.
Bouveret's syndrome is a rare disorder that causes upper gastrointestinal obstruction, typically in elderly patients with a history of chronic cholelithiasis. We present an unusual case of a 58-year-old woman with untreated vesicular lithiasis who developed Bouveret's syndrome. She presented with severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal distension.

Article Synopsis
- A new nematode species from small rodents in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, was identified using microscopy and genetic sequencing.
- The species exhibits unique physical traits such as interrupted ridges and distinct characteristics in males and females.
- Genetic analysis indicates low variability among specimens from different rodent hosts, suggesting this nematode can expand its host range effectively.
Trophic ecology in an anchialine cave: A stable isotope study.
PLoS One
January 2025
Colección Nacional de Crustáceos, Instituto de Biología, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Ciudad Universitaria, Mexico, Ciudad de México, Mexico.
Article Synopsis
- Carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) are valuable tools in ecology for tracing energy flows in food webs, particularly in underexplored ecosystems like anchialine caves.
- Sampling at Cenote Vaca Ha in Mexico revealed insights into the nutrient sources for seven endemic stygobitic species, highlighting that isotopic patterns are consistent over time despite some variation.
- The study identified shrimp Typhlatya pearsei as a crucial species linking chemosynthetic microbial production to the anchialine food web, indicating a stable ecosystem reliant on bacterial sources for energy.
[Congenital neutropenia and acute graft-versus-host disease in an infant. A case report].
Rev Alerg Mex
December 2024
Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, Campeche.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital neutropenia is a primary immunodeficiency marked by low neutrophil counts and can be mild to severe; hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a potential treatment but can lead to complications like graft-versus-host disease.
- A case of a 2-year-old girl with congenital neutropenia who developed scalp abscesses and cellulitis was reported, and after a transplant procedure, she was diagnosed with graft-versus-host disease, which ultimately led to her death.
- Graft-versus-host disease is a serious concern in stem cell transplants, highlighting the importance of early recognition and effective management to reduce risks of high morbidity and mortality.
