Urban wastewater systems represent important interfaces between human activity and the environmental occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) markers. We assessed the temporal dynamics of intI1 , ermB , and the 16 S rRNA gene by quantitative PCR across three wastewater systems (EPC, CJC, and JW) in Fortaleza, Brazil, from November 2021 to November 2023. Bacterial communities were additionally characterized by 16 S rRNA gen...
The seasonality of forage production is one of the main challenges in semi-arid regions, where environmental conditions limit agricultural productivity. One promising option is the use of elephant grass ‘BRS Capiaçu’, together with deficit irrigation. This study evaluated the impact of different irrigation depths with brackish water (50%, 75%, 100% and 125% of the reference evapotranspiration – ET 0 ) on the productive, physio...
Influence of fruit cuticle thickness, phenolic and mineral content on Colletotrichum acutatum susceptibility in four olive cultivarsNARA Subscribed
Olive anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum spp., remains one of the most destructive diseases affecting olive cultivation, with severe consequences for global olive production. Cultivar susceptibility is influenced by fruit maturation stage and modulated by environmental conditions; however the defense mechanisms underlying these interactions are still poorly understood. To investigate these relationships, experiments were co...
Racial and ethnic disparities in receipt of guideline-concordant treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancerNARA Subscribed
Purpose Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer mortality in California, with Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) patients experiencing the highest mortality rates. Disparities in receipt of guideline-concordant treatment (GCT) contribute to these outcomes. This population-based study analyzed racial and ethnic differences in GCT receipt among early-stage NSCLC patients. Methods Patients diagnosed with early-sta...
Revealing the phylogeography of Astyanax lacustris: insights from the São Francisco River cladeNARA Subscribed
The genus Astyanax is highly diverse within the family Acestrorhamphidae, and species identification remains challenging due to overlapping morphological, morphometric, meristic, and coloration traits. As a result, several taxa have been considered as species complexes or treated as synonyms. Molecular and cytogenetic approaches are essential for clarifying taxonomic boundaries and assessing potential genetic divergence among...
Introduction: Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, accounting for approximately 1.8 million deaths annually. In this context, low health literacy is frequent and represents a barrier to effective education on screening and early detection. The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt, and validate the Lung CAM questionnaire for use in Brazil, enabling the assessment of population litera...
Long-term soil health and microbiome responses to sustainable management under drought stress in tropical coffee agroecosystemsNARA Subscribed
Background and aims Implementing sustainable crop management to improve soil health can bolster plant and soil resistance to drought stress. This study evaluated the long-term impact of sustainable soil management on soil health in tropical coffee agroecosystems, focusing on how these practices influenced plant yield and quality, as well as soil microbiome composition and function under drought treatment. Methods Plots were se...
Myeloperoxidase (MPO) has been associated with a broad range of chronic inflammatory diseases since activated MPO catalyzes the production of HOCl, triggering both oxidative stress and inflammation. Since benzohydrazides are known as MPO inhibitors, a series of six N '-phenylbenzohydrazides and one quinazolin-4(3 H )-one analogue was evaluated through in vitro assays to measure inhibition of MPO, superoxide dismutase (SOD), an...
Amino Acid Complexed Minerals Zn, Mn, and Cu Improve Bone and Intestinal Characteristics in Laying PulletsNARA Subscribed
The present study investigates the effect of partially supplemented trace minerals zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), and copper (Cu) using 2 different sources: inorganic mineral (IM) or amino acid-complexed minerals (AACM), in pullet diets during 6 to 14 weeks. A total of 1120 Lohmann Brown Lite pullets were distributed into 40 experimental cages with 2 dietary treatments. Two dietary treatments were established: a IM supplemented wi...
