Background Staphylococcus nepalensis is an emerging species first described in 2003 from the respiratory tract of goats in Nepal. We report the identification of S. nepalensis of a hypersaline lagoon in Brazil, along with in-depth phylogeographical and resistome analysis of publicly available genomes. Methods and results During a local survey from hypersaline aquatic environments in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, two staphylococcal s...

The level of difficulty of a secondary cognitive task (DT) can affect gait and cortical activity distinctly in individuals with Parkinson’s disease (PD). During a simpler ST, individuals with PD may use a compensatory neural mechanism by reallocating neural resources to preserve gait performance; for difficult DT, this compensation may not be the case. However, whether different levels of difficulty of a single-domain DT would...

Earth's biodiversity is central to ecosystem health and resilience, providing essential functions and services. The Red Sea is a recognised marine biodiversity hotspot with high endemism and unique environmental conditions that support extensive but poorly resolved biodiversity. Here, we applied metagenomic analyses to sediment samples collected from coastal to deep‐sea environments during the Red Sea Decade Expedition 2022 to...

The year 2024 was classified by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) as the hottest on record, both globally and in Brazil. In the Pantanal, exceptional heat waves and intense droughts led to an early onset of the fire season in June, marked by high fire severity and large burned areas. Although the Pantanal has been increasingly affected by combined drought and heat events, the influence of these climatic extremes on f...

Objective To systematically evaluate the impact of SSRIs on sexual function in adults with depression compared to placebo through a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods A systematic search using the terms “sexual dysfunction” , “depression” and “antidepressant” was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Embase, and the Cochrane Library for RCTs published up to June 2025. No language...

Introduction The Blue Amazon represents an extensive coastal zone with high biodiversity and wide salinity variation, which poses challenges for marine fish farming, particularly regarding the efficiency of biofilters in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). In this context, açaí seeds ( Euterpe oleracea ), previously evaluated in freshwater, emerge as a promising alternative for use as filter media under different salinity...
