The taxonomy of the spider family Phrurolithidae in western Mexico remains poorly investigated. In this work, based on both sexes, we describe Scotinella garman sp. nov. and S. poncei sp. nov. from Michoacn. Specimens of the two new species were collected using pitfall traps in a pine forest, organic avocado orchard, and tropical deciduous forest. The two species seem to be sister species as they resemble each other in several morphological characteristics. Females of Scotinella poncei sp. nov. display a striking variability in the size and depth of the atrium and copulatory openings. Moreover, we discuss the female genitalia conformation of Scotinella, specifically the homology of the secondary spermathecae, and record the genus Phonotimpus Gertsch & Davis, 1940 in western Mexico for the first time.

Fusarium head blight (FHB), mainly caused by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum, is a major wheat disease. Significant efforts have been made to improve resistance to FHB in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), but more work is needed for durum wheat (Triticum turgidum spp. durum).

Background: Research into the mechanisms of growth control during birth and postnatal life has shown that adipose tissue regulates many physiological functions in the body by secreting adipokines. The aims of this study were to investigate the serum levels of visfatin and vaspin in healthy and unhealthy pregnant women and its relationship with their newborns' anthropometric measurements.
Materials And Methods: A total of 82 pregnant women were included in this study with their respective newborn) healthy pregnant women (n = 30), with obesity (n = 26) and with gestational diabetes (GD) (n = 26).

Background: The global burden of metabolic diseases is increasing, but estimates of their impact on primary liver cancer are uncertain. We aimed to assess the global burden of primary liver cancer attributable to metabolic risk factors, including high body mass index (BMI) and high fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, between 1990 and 2021.
Methods: The total number and age-standardized rates of deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from primary liver cancer attributable to each metabolic risk factor were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease Study 1990-2021.
