Towards a smoke-free world? South America became the first 100% smoke-free subregion in the Americas

Some of these countries adopted legal measures that are more robust than others, including in their laws specific outdoor places in the smoking ban (like Argentina and Uruguay) and/or...

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 12930: Prevalence and Associated Factors of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress in University Students in Paraguay during the COVID-19 Pandemic
In conclusion, high levels of anxiety, depression, and stress were found in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Being a woman, studying at a public university, and receiving training on COVID-19 were factors associated with a higher prevalence of presenting all the mental health problems evaluated. Furthermore, students aged 31 and over had a higher prevalence of depression and stress. (Source: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)

Topotype-Based Chromosomal Diversity among Five Species of Freshwater Armored Catfishes in the < em > Hypostomus auroguttatus < /em > Supergroup (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes)
Zoolog Sci. 2022 Oct;39(5):446-452. doi: 10.2108/zs210103.ABSTRACTFreshwater catfishes from the genus Hypostomus have been models for several cytogenetic studies, due to their intense variability in diploid number, chromosome morphology, and the distribution of repetitive DNAs. Taking into consideration the taxonomic complexity inherent to this group, the present study aims to describe the karyotypes of five species of Hypostomus collected in their type localities: Hypostomus albopunctatus (Regan, 1908), Hypostomus hermanni (Ihering, 1905), Hypostomus iheringii (Regan, 1908), and Hypostomus paulinus (Ihering, 1905) from th...
