Astroblepus species, commonly known as Andean climbing catfish, exhibit a unique challenge in species delimitation, leading to ongoing taxonomic debates. Here we report data on Astroblepus mindoensis , a vulnerable species endemic to Ecuador, obtained by an integrative approach that includes cytogenetic analysis, molecular identification of the specimens, and recording of morphological and morphometric characters useful for sp...
A study of the inter- and intra-operator variability on selected echocardiographic measurements in dogsNARA Subscribed
Standard transthoracic echocardiography is considered the non-invasive gold standard for the diagnosis of most cardiac diseases. Defining reproducibility, repeatability, and reliability of this exam is imperative to reduce errors in clinical evaluations. The present study aimed at: (1) evaluating the reproducibility and repeatability of 15 echocardiographic parameters in dogs by analyzing measurements obtained from several ope...
Thermal and Postural Effects on Fluid Mixing and Irrigation Patterns for Intraventricular Hemorrhage TreatmentNARA Subscribed
Intraventricular hemorrhage is characterized by blood leaking into the cerebral ventricles and mixing with cerebrospinal fluid. A standard treatment method involves inserting a passive drainage catheter, known as an external ventricular drain (EVD), into the ventricle. EVDs have common adverse complications, including the occlusion of the catheter, that may lead to permanent neural damage or even mortality. In order to prevent...
Sustainable water resources management roots in monitoring data reliability and a full engagement of all institutions involved in the water sector. When competences and interests are overlapping, however, coordination may be difficult, thus hampering cooperative actions. This is the case of Santa Cruz Island (Galápagos, Ecuador). A comprehensive assessment on water quality data (physico-chemical parameters, major elements, tra...
NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES : A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
The Neotropical region hosts 4225 freshwater fish species, ranking first among the world's most diverse regions for freshwater fishes. Our NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES data set is the first to produce a large‐scale Neotropical freshwater fish inventory, covering the entire Neotropical region from Mexico and the Caribbean in the north to the southern limits in Argentina, Paraguay, Chile, and Uruguay. We compiled 185,787 distri...
The synergistic action of cyclodextrin-based adsorbent and advanced oxidation processes for sulfamethoxazole removal from waterNARA Subscribed
In this work, the removal of sulfamethoxazole from water was studied by adsorption on a cyclodextrin–epichlorohydrin copolymer and through Advanced Oxidation Processes. The adsorption was efficient and fast, requiring only 10 min to reach the equilibrium; it was also highly favored, with adsorption efficiency higher than 80%, at slightly acidic pH and at room temperature. The desorption of sulfamethoxazole was obtained by rais...
Common, low-frequency, rare, and ultra-rare coding variants contribute to COVID-19 severityNARA Subscribed
The combined impact of common and rare exonic variants in COVID-19 host genetics is currently insufficiently understood. Here, common and rare variants from whole-exome sequencing data of about 4000 SARS-CoV-2-positive individuals were used to define an interpretable machine-learning model for predicting COVID-19 severity. First, variants were converted into separate sets of Boolean features, depending on the absence or the pr...
