Indian Himalayan Region (IHR) supports a plethora of biodiversity with a unique assemblage of many charismatic and endemic species. We assessed the genetic diversity, demographic history, and habitat suitability of blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) in the IHR through the analysis of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region (CR) and Cytochrome b gene, and 14 ecological predictor variables. We observed high genetic divergence and designated them into two genetic lineage groups, i.

Background: Clinical trials for assessing the effects of infection prevention and control (IPC) interventions are expensive and have shown mixed results. Mathematical models can be relatively inexpensive tools for evaluating the potential of interventions. However, capturing nuances between institutions and in patient populations have adversely affected the power of computational models of nosocomial transmission.

Methemoglobinemia is a rare, yet life-threatening disorder that occurs due to an accumulation of methemoglobin in the blood. The clinical presentation often includes dyspnea, cyanosis, and hypoxemia that shows little improvement with the administration of supplemental oxygen. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns against the administration of benzocaine to those younger than 2 years of age and urges manufacturers to add a statement regarding the possible development of methemoglobinemia to the packaging of any products containing this ingredient.

The sheer amplitude of biological actions of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) affecting all types of cells in all tissues suggests a vast signaling landscape for this ubiquitous humoral signal. While the canonical signaling pathways primarily involve the Ras/MAPK and PI3K/AKT cascades, the evolutionary conservation of insulin-like peptides (ILPs) and their pathways hints at the potential for novel functions to emerge over time. Indeed, the evolutionary trajectory of ILPs opens the possibility of either novel functions for these two pathways, novel downstream routes, or both.

Tick-borne diseases have emerged as a major global public health problem in recent decades. The increasing incidence and geographical dissemination of these diseases requires the implementation of robust surveillance systems to monitor their prevalence, distribution, and public health impact. It is therefore not unexpected that tick-borne pathogens coexist in the same vectors, but the interactions of these agents between vectors and vertebrate hosts, including humans, remain poorly understood.
