Published: December 2021

In rivers and other watercourses from San Juan Province specimens of Hatcheria macraei (Girard, 1855), Psalidodon eigenmanniorum (=Astyanax eigenmanniorum (Cope, 1894), Jenynsia lineata (Jenyns, 1842) and Trichomycterus corduvensis Weyenbergh 1877 were captured. Of these, H. macraei and P. eigenmanniorum were parasitized with the nematodes Rhabdochona acuminata and Contracaecum sp., respectively. The morphometric analysis of the identified nematodes is included. They are the first records of parasitic nematodes of fish from San Juan Province. In this way, the geographical distribution of both nematodes was extended and H. macraei and P. eigenmanniorum were registered as new hosts.

Purpose: Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune reaction involving Immunoglobulin G antibodies against GluN1 subunit of NMDAR. Absence of biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis poses a challenge. Several small case-control studies have emphasized the prospect of quantitative EEG measurements.

Article Synopsis
  • - Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious pregnancy complication that often goes unnoticed until later trimesters, leading to risks for mothers and babies, especially in low- and middle-income countries where healthcare resources are limited.
  • - Recent research identifies variations in hsa-miR-17-5p levels as a potential early marker to differentiate between women with and without PE during the first trimester, indicating the need for early screening.
  • - A new lateral-flow assay (LFA) has been developed to measure hsa-miR-17-5p levels with high specificity and sensitivity using advanced detection methods, aiming to improve early detection and accessibility of testing worldwide.

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) is a highly valuable tool in spinal surgery. It allows for real-time evaluation of nervous system function and alerts the surgeon to any warning signs. Among the various techniques used are motor evoked potentials (MEPs) through transcranial electrical stimulation, which involve applying an electrical stimulus to the scalp in the primary motor cortex region and recording it in the corresponding muscles of the corticospinal tract.
