Barriers to healthcare access for children with congenital heart disease in eight Latin American countries
CONCLUSIONS: Multiple factors are associated with the perception of barriers to accessing health care for children with congenital heart disease, including socioeconomic status, expectations, psychological well-being, and structural factors.PMID:38515426 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14880 (Source: Paediatric Anaesthesia)

Hydrological effects of the conversion of tropical montane forest to agricultural land in the central Andes of Peru
In this study, we compare the hydrological processes of different land covers previously modified by agricultural expansion, in order to determine the impact of the conversion of tropical montane forest to agricultural land on the ecosystem service of water provision and regulation. To achieve this, we establish study plots in four land cover types located in the central Andes of Peru (mature montane forest (BMC), natural regenerating secondary forest (BMR), coffee agroforestry systems (AF), and cropland (C)), for the purpose of measuring the vegetation structure and soil properties in them, and subsequently carry out a so...

Scientists in Antarctica track ‘baffling’ virus that could decimate penguins and other polar animals
A 23-meter-long sailboat set off last week from Argentina for Antarctica’s Weddell Sea with eight scientists, lots of cloacal swabs, and a genetic fingerprinting machine aboard. The
Australis
is headed for the southern continent’s teeming colonies of Adélie penguins, other seabirds, and marine mammals. The
goal
: to search for signs of a deadly virus that has nearly circled the world over the past 4 years, leaving behind a trail of devastated wildlife.
Last month, Spanish researchers
confirmed
that H5N1, the highly pathogenic form of avian influenza, had finally turned up—as long ...

A conjoint experiment of three placebo rectal products used with receptive anal sex: results from MTN-035
CONCLUSIONS: Choice in next-generation PrEP products is highly desired by MSM and transgender people, as no one-size-fits-all approach satisfies all the preferences. MTN-035 participants weighed product features differently, recognizing the need for diverse, behaviourally congruent biomedical options that fit the needs of intended end-users.PMID:38494656 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26219 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)

Understanding the sources of marine litter in remote islands: The Galapagos islands as a case study
Environ Pollut. 2024 Mar 13:123772. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2024.123772. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDetermining the sources of marine litter is necessary to mitigate this increasing global problem. Plastic bottles are useful tracers of marine litter and constitute the main item (24%) stranding on remote beaches in the Galapagos Islands. The aim of this study was to estimate the abundance of plastic bottles in remote beaches and inferred their sources. To do so, we collected plastic bottles at 60 remote Galapagos Island beaches from 2018 to 2022. 76% of beaches were qualified as badly polluted, with >34 bottles·100 m-1...
