AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates gender disparity in article authorship within the journal Emergencias from 2011 to 2020, focusing on how many papers were authored by women compared to men.
- A total of 1240 articles and 5213 authors were analyzed, revealing that women authored only 36.2% of the articles, with women holding the first author position in 31% of cases.
- Though the representation of female authors, particularly in original research and meta-analyses, showed a positive trend over the decade, men still authored more articles overall.
Article Abstract
Objectives: To analyze gender disparity in scientific productivity reflected by the authorship of articles in the journal Emergencias over the past decade.
Material And Methods: Retrospective longitudinal study. We included articles in all issues published between January 2011 and December 2020, analyzing the number of authors, their gender, article type, year of publication, and preferential authorship credit (first author, corresponding author, and last author positioning). The percentages of women named in each position were calculated, and the trend over time was analyzed.
Results: A total of 1240 articles signed by 5213 authors were collected; a woman was named in 1889 of the cases (36.2%). A woman was the first author of 384 articles (31%), the corresponding author of 352 (28.4%), and the last author of 358 (28.9%). The number of female authors of original research articles or meta-analyses tended to increase over time (P = .047), but no statistically significant gender trends were observed in the authorship of editorials, narrative reviews, scientific letters or short communications, letters to the editor, or any other publication category.
Conclusion: The publication of articles by women in Emergencias has increased over the past decade. However, women continue to author fewer articles than men.

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) play an important role in the incidence of type-2 diabetes. Di-2-ethyl hexyl Phthalate (DEHP) is one of the endocrine-disrupting chemicals used as a plasticizer to impart flexibility and softness to plastic-containing materials. Mono-2-ethylhexyl Phthalate (MEHP), a DEHP's primary metabolite, is preferentially absorbed once metabolized.

Dance is physically demanding and often involves unilateral movements performed within a small base of support. Prior authors have reported that dancers use one leg preferentially over the other (ie, lower extremity asymmetry). Increased leg asymmetry-quantified using the Limb Symmetry Index (LSI), is associated with increased injury risk.

Article Synopsis
- People with Alzheimer's disease experience early mood, sleep, and arousal changes due to brain changes, especially in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN), but it’s unclear why all serotonin-producing neurons are not equally affected.
- The study aimed to explore genetic factors that influence how susceptible or resistant these serotonin neurons are to Alzheimer's disease pathology using advanced spatial gene expression analysis in a mouse model.
- The results showed that specific genes related to AD are differently expressed in the DRN of these mice, and that the loss of serotonin neurons and tau pathology is particularly pronounced in a specific region of the DRN, highlighting the importance of studying genetic and regulatory factors in Alzheimer's.
Textile sorption and release of odorous volatile organic compounds from a synthetic sweat solution.

Article Synopsis
- This research examines how body odors transfer to different textile fibers using a method that mimics liquid sweat, focusing on a variety of odorous volatile organic compounds.
- A study was conducted using proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry to measure the release of these compounds at different time intervals across six types of fabrics.
- Results show that cellulosic fibers (like cotton) retain odors differently compared to synthetic fibers (like nylon and polyester), with variations in the intensity of ketones and aldehydes released over time.
Public Perceptions of Individuals Attracted to Children: The Impact of the Person's Gender, Child Gender, and Preferentiality on Stigma and Perceived Risk to Offend.

Stigma-related stress may contribute to increased risk in individuals who are sexually attracted to children. Further, certain subgroups of people attracted to children may be more stigmatized than others; this has important implications for prevention programs. We conducted a vignette study to examine whether public stigma toward people attracted to children differed based on the person's gender (man/woman), the gender of the child to whom the person is attracted (boy/girl), and preferentiality (non-preferentially/preferentially attracted to children).
