A case of equine multicentric lymphoma: Clinical, microscopical, and molecular ...
Silva, GF; Ribeiro, TE; Cunha, R; Salas, PB; Guimarães, T; Ribeiro, MR; Barros, G; Carvalho, F; Mesquita, JR; Amorim, IBackground: Although relatively uncommon, lymphoma is the most prevalent haematopoietic neoplasia in horses, and multicentric lymphoma remains the most common presentation of the disease. The pathogenesis of equine lymphoma is still poorly understood and the diagnosis is usually confirmed at an advanced stage of the disease, compromising the prognosis. This study investigated the clinical, pathological, and mol...
Effect of T2-T4 sympathicotomy in skin temperature of pediatric patients with h...

Global age-sex-specific mortality, life expectancy, and population estimates in...
Schumacher, AE; Kyu, HH; Aali, A; Abbafati, C; Abbas, J; Abbasgholizadeh, R; Abbasi, MA; Abbasian, M; Abd ElHafeez, S; Abdelmasseh, M; Abd Elsalam, SBackground: Estimates of demographic metrics are crucial to assess levels and trends of population health outcomes. The profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on populations worldwide has underscored the need for timely estimates to understand this unprecedented event within the context of long-term population health trends. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2021 provides n...
Road verges ensure connectivity for small mammals: a case study with wood mouse...
Aalantinho, Ana; Herrera, José M.; Eufrazio, Sofia; Silva, C; Carvalho, F; Alpizar-jara, R; Mira, ARoads disrupt landscape connectivity for many terrestrial mammals. These infrastructures can be barriers to movement thereby threatening population persistence. Nonetheless, small mammals may use road verges as habitat or corridor, thus increasing migration across intensively managed landscapes. However, in well-preserved habitats where road verges show a similar vegetation structure to surrounding areas, their...
Immune and Spermatogenesis-Related Loci are Involved in the Development of Extr...
Cerván-Martín, M; Tüttelmann, F; Lopes, AM; Bossini-Castillo, L; Rivera-Egea, R; Garrido, N; Lujan, S; Romeu, G; Santos-Ribeiro, S; Castilla, JAWe conducted a genome-wide association study in a large population of infertile men due to unexplained spermatogenic failure (SPGF). More than seven million genetic variants were analysed in 1,274 SPGF cases and 1,951 unaffected controls from two independent European cohorts. Two genomic regions were associated with the most severe histological pattern of SPGF, defined by Sertoli cell-only (SCO) phenotype, name...
The prevalence of onchocerciasis in Africa and Yemen, 2000–2018: a geospatial a...
Schmidt, CA; Cromwell, EA; Hill, E; Donkers, KM; Schipp, MF; Johnson, KB; Pigott, DM; Abbas, J; Adekanmbi, V; Adetokunboh, OO; Ahmed, MB; Alanezi, FMBackground: Onchocerciasis is a disease caused by infection with Onchocerca volvulus, which is transmitted to humans via the bite of several species of black fly, and is responsible for permanent blindness or vision loss, as well as severe skin disease. Predominantly endemic in parts of Africa and Yemen, preventive chemotherapy with mass drug administration of ivermectin is the primary intervention recommended ...
Early results of a distance learning paediatric surgery programme in Mozambique
Coelho, A; Marinho, AS; Barbosa-Sequeira, J; Nikutme, A; Noya, L; Rêgo, C; Carvalho, F; Moreira-Pinto, JIntroduction: A pre-graduate training programme in paediatric surgery was applied to students in four medical schools of Mozambique. In this paper, we evaluate the early results of the programme. Materials and Methods: A pre-graduate training programme was developed and applied in two stages, theoretical education available at an online platform and a face-to-face session. To evaluate the programme, a diagnosti...
Mapping age- and sex-specific HIV prevalence in adults in sub-Saharan Africa, 2...
Haeuser, E; Serfes, AL; Cork, MA; Yang, M; Abbastabar, H; Abhilash, ES; Adabi, M; Adebayo, OM; Adekanmbi, V; Adeyinka, DA; Afzal, S; Ahinkorah, BOBackground: Human immunodeficiency virus and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is still among the leading causes of disease burden and mortality in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), and the world is not on track to meet targets set for ending the epidemic by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Precise HIV burden information is...
Skin temperature response to thermal stimulus in patients with hyperhidrosis: A...
Carvalho, F; Magalhaes, C; Fernandez-Llimos, F; Mendes, J; Goncalves, JABS TRACT Primary hyperhidrosis (HH), the excessive sweating exceeding physiological demand, has been associated to a complex dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system which may explain the disfunction in sweating but may also cause unrevealed alterations in skin blood flow regulation. In fact, HH patients present a sympathetic over-function with less reflex bradycardia in response to the Valsalva maneuver an...
The overlapping burden of the three leading causes of disability and death in s...
Reiner, RC; Welgan, CA; Troeger, CE; Baumann, MM; Weiss, DJ; Deshpande, A; Blacker, BF; Miller Petrie, MK; Earl, L; Bhatt, S; Abolhassani, HDespite substantial declines since 2000, lower respiratory infections (LRIs), diarrhoeal diseases, and malaria remain among the leading causes of nonfatal and fatal disease burden for children under 5 years of age (under 5), primarily in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The spatial burden of each of these diseases has been estimated subnationally across SSA, yet no prior analyses have examined the pattern of their com...
