Multi-locus sequence analysis of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haematomacacae' in free-ranging macaques from Thailand suggestive of a closer relationship to hemotropic mycoplasmas in capuchins and potential origin from bats
Acta Trop. 2024 Feb 20;252:107156. doi: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2024.107156. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haematomacacae' (formerly known as 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemomacaque') has been reported on extensively in macaques from Thailand, the USA, Japan, and Brazil, its genetic characterization has primarily been restricted to the 16S rRNA sequences with no exploration on multi-locus sequence analysis. The primary goal of this study was to characterize 'Ca. M. haematomacacae' among Thai macaques based on multiple genetic markers. Between April 2018 and November 2021, blood samples were taken ...

Gregarina lutescens n. sp. infecting the harlequin ladybird harmonia axyridis (coleoptera: coccinellidae)
J Parasitol. 2024 Feb 1;110(1):66-78. doi: 10.1645/23-107.ABSTRACTGregarina lutescens n. sp. is described from the alimentary canal of the harlequin ladybird or multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) collected from prairie fleabane, Erigeron strigosus, at Peru State College, Peru, Nemaha Co., Nebraska. Our specimens differ from all 11 known species of Gregarina infecting coccinellid beetles worldwide by differences in size and relative shape, color, and association structure. Gregarina lutescens n. sp. is smaller than 7 known species infecting coccinellid beetles but larger than the o...

Pain as a disease in the new International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11): Latin American expert consensus
Conclusion: The novel definition and classification of chronic pain in ICD-11 is helpful for better medical care, research and health statistics. ICD-11 will improve chronic pain management in Latin American countries, for both the pain specialist and the primary care physician.PMID:38379521 | DOI:10.2217/pmt-2023-0096 (Source: Pain Physician)

Prevalence, trends, and factors associated with hypertensive crisis among Peruvian adults
This study aimed to determine the prevalence and trends over time of hypertensive crisis, as well as the factors associated with this condition among adults. A secondary data analysis was carried out using the Peruvian Demographic and Family Health Survey (ENDES). Hypertensive crisis was defined based on the presence of systolic (≥ 180mmHg) or diastolic (≥ 110mmHg) blood pressure, regardless of previous diagnosis or medication use. The factors associated with our outcome were evaluated using multinomial logistic regression, and the trend of hypertensive crisis was evaluated using the Cochrane-Armitage test. Data from 2...
