REVIEW
Melissa Castillo-Bustamante, Henrique F Pauna, Rafael da Costa Monsanto, Veronica A Gutierrez, Jorge Madrigal
Video head impulse test (vHIT) artifacts are defined as spurious elements or disturbances in the recorded data that deviate from the true vestibulo-ocular reflex response. These artifacts can arise from various sources, encompassing technological limitations, patient-specific factors, or environmental influences, introducing inaccuracies in vHIT outcomes. The absence of standardized criteria for artifact identification leads to methodological heterogeneity. This narrative review aims to comprehensively examine the challenges posed by artifacts in the vHIT...

This article discusses a case of cochlear otosclerosis leading to secondary hydrops and near-complete hearing loss. Histopathological examination revealed advanced multifocal otosclerosis in both temporal bones, with specific focus on cochlear invasion and significant bone resorption. The severity of the case ruled out surgical intervention due to the risk of further hearing loss. The article emphasizes the challenges in managing otosclerosis-related hydrops and highlights the potential use of advanced imaging techniques for diagnosis...

This is a descriptive study using healthcare claims data from patients with T2DM from public and private healthcare insurance companies providing services in Puerto Rico in 2013, aimed to estimate the prevalence of comorbidities in this population. Descriptive analyses were performed by sociodemographic, and type of service variables using frequency and percent for categorical data or means (+/-SD) or median (IQR) for continuous variables. Chi-square, Fisher exact or two-sample t-tests were used for comparisons...

OBJECTIVES: Although previous research has indicated inner ear changes in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, no prior study has explored the middle ear, particularly the ossicles and their joints, in DM patients. This study aimed to investigate whether type 2 DM is associated with middle ear changes, specifically affecting the ossicular chain and joints. METHODS: This study included 47 ears from 25 patients with DM (male = 13, female = 12, age: 51...

BACKGROUND: To address the growing prevalence of youth mental health problems, early intervention is crucial to minimize individual, societal, and economic impacts. Indicative prevention aims to target emerging mental health complaints before the onset of a full-blown disorder. When intervening at this early stage, individuals are more responsive to treatment, resulting in cost-effective outcomes. The Moderated Online Social Therapy platform, which was successfully implemented and proven effective in Australia, is a digital, peer- and clinically moderated treatment platform designed for young people...

In this critical analysis, we investigate the profound impact of natural disasters and pandemics on the care and adherence to treating diabetic retinopathy, a severe complication of diabetes requiring continuous monitoring and treatment to prevent vision loss. Our study also sheds light on the social and economic context of Puerto Rico, emphasizing recent emergency events that have exacerbated existing public health challenges. Through a comprehensive review of relevant literature from PubMed, Google Scholar, and the George Washington University Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library database, we identified 31 pertinent articles out of 45 evaluated, focusing on the effects of these crises on healthcare delivery, diabetic retinopathy screening, and treatment...

Pesticides and pathogens adversely affect amphibian health, but their interactive effects are not well known. We assessed independent and combined effects of two agricultural herbicides and the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) on the growth, development and survival of larval American toads (Anaxyrus americanus). Wild-caught tadpoles were exposed to four concentrations of atrazine (0.18, 1.8, 18.0, 180 μg/L) or glyphosate (7, 70, 700, 7000 µg a.e./L), respectively contained in Aatrex® Liquid 480 (Syngenta) or Vision® Silviculture Herbicide (Monsanto) for 14 days, followed by two doses of Bd...

Conspectus"What I cannot create, I do not understand"─Richard Feynman. This sentiment motivates the entire field of artificial metalloenzymes. Naturally occurring enzymes catalyze reactions with efficiencies, rates, and selectivity that generally cannot be achieved in synthetic systems. Many of these processes represent vital building blocks for a sustainable society, including CO2 conversion, nitrogen fixation, water oxidation, and liquid fuel synthesis. Our inability as chemists to fully reproduce the functionality of naturally occurring enzymes implicates yet-unknown contributors to reactivity...

Plant-parasitic nematodes pose a serious threat to crops and cause substantial financial losses due to control difficulties. Tioxazafen (3-phenyl-5-thiophen-2-yl-1,2,4-oxadiazole) is a novel broad-spectrum nematicide developed by the Monsanto Company, which shows good prevention effects on many kinds of nematodes. To discover compounds with high nematocidal activities, 48 derivatives of 1,2,4-oxadiazole were obtained by introducing haloalkyl at the 5-position of tioxazafen, and their nematocidal activities were systematically evaluated...

One of the most well-documented episodes of scientific manipulation and overt fraud was the scandal involving Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories (IBT) in the 1970s and the chronic toxicity tests it conducted on behalf of Monsanto that ultimately led to the indictment and conviction of employees of IBT and the Monsanto Corporation. IBT, at the time the nation's largest private laboratory, served a range of industries and government agencies. IBT conducted about 22 000 toxicology studies for scores of corporations, representing between 35% and 40% of all tests conducted in private labs in the country...

REVIEW

Despite discourse advocating pesticide reduction, there has been an exponential increase in pesticide use worldwide in the agricultural sector over the last 30 years. Glyphosate-Based Herbicides (GBHs) are the most widely used pesticides on the planet as well as in Canada, where a total of almost 470 million kilograms of declared "active" ingredient glyphosate was sold between 2007 and 2018. GBHs accounted for 58% of pesticides used in the agriculture sector in Canada in 2017. While the independent scientific literature on the harmful health and environmental impacts of pesticides such as GBHs is overwhelming, Canada has only banned 32 "active" pesticide ingredients out of 531 banned in 168 countries, and reapproved GBHs in 2017 until 2032...

Glyphosate was developed by Monsanto in the United States in the 1870s and has now become the world's best-selling pesticide. It is used in more than 100 countries and regions. Glyphosate is generally considered to be less toxic or even safe for mammals, including humans, and most patients with glyphosate poisoning have a better prognosis. However, this article reports a case of a 36-year woman who suffered severe gastrointestinal damage after oral administration of 50 ml of glyphosate. After the active rescue, scar contractures occurred in both the ooesophagus and trachea...

The anionic rhodium complex cis -[Rh(CO)2 I2 ]- , active in the Monsanto process for acetic acid production, has been heterogenised via Coulombic interactions in the pores of a UiO-66-type metal-organic framework (MOF). The MOF-supported catalyst is active for the carbonylation of methanol and is recyclable, retaining its framework crystallinity following catalysis. Intermediates in the catalytic cycle observed by IR spectroscopy confirm the same mechanism as the established homogeneous process.

A longstanding question in evolutionary biology is how natural selection and environmental pressures shape the mitochondrial genomic architectures of organisms. Mitochondria play a pivotal role in cellular respiration and aerobic metabolism, making their genomes functionally highly constrained. Evaluating selective pressures on mitochondrial genes can provide functional and ecological insights into the evolution of organisms. Collembola (springtails) are an ancient hexapod group that includes the oldest terrestrial arthropods in the fossil record, and that are closely associated with soil environments...
