    Abstract Background Functional and anatomic changes occur during pregnancy. Some of these changes are in the auditory and vestibular systems. However, there is a lack of information about the functional changes to critical structures that contribute to balance and proprioception. This study aims to evaluate the functions and shifts to the semicircular canals throughout gestation. Methodology This is a cross-sectional study. A video head impulse test (vHIT) was performed on all healthy pregnant patients with gestational periods ranging from the 20th to 40th weeks who were admitted to a maternal-fetal care unit. Vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) gains in the lateral, posterior, and anterior semicircular canals and gains in asymmetry were obtained. Results A significant positive relationship was observed in the right (

    Abstract Introduction: This study aimed to assess the long-term stability of Class II malocclusion treatment with the Cantilever Bite Jumper (CBJ) after 13 years of follow-up.
    Methods: The treatment group comprised 10 Class II Division 1 malocclusion patients treated with the CBJ, followed by fixed appliances, analyzed at 3 stages: pretreatment (aged 11.56-14.32 years), posttreatment (aged 16.34-19.58 years), and long-term posttreatment (aged 29.04-32.33 years). The control group included 15 subjects with normal occlusion. Intragroup treatment changes comparison was performed with repeated measures and analysis of variance followed by Tukey tests. Intergroup comparisons regarding the long-term posttreatment changes were performed with t tests.
    Results: No statistically significant relapse was observed during the follow-up period. Morever, the treated group presented a significantly smaller increase in lower anterior facial height and greater retrusion of the lower lip than the control group in the posttreatment period.
    Conclusions: Treatment with the CBJ, followed by fixed appliances, is a stable alternative for Class II Division 1 malocclusion correction. The dentoskeletal and soft-tissue changes obtained during treatment remained stable in the long-term posttreatment follow-up.

    Abstract Both plant- and rhizobia-derived small RNAs play an essential role in regulating the root nodule symbiosis in legumes. Small RNAs, in association with Argonaute proteins, tune the expression of genes participating in nodule development and rhizobial infection. However, the role of Argonaute proteins in this symbiosis has been overlooked. In this study, we provide transcriptional evidence showing that Argonaute5 (AGO5) is a determinant genetic component in the root nodule symbiosis in

    Abstract Objectives.: Motivation for the study: there is a lack of studies in Latin America on the frequency of metabolic syndrome in patients who receive liver transplants. Main findings: two-thirds (66%) of patients who received liver transplantation between 2013 and 2017 at the Specialized Center San Vicente Fundación de Rionegro, Antioquia, Colombia, subsequently presented metabolic syndrome. Implications: this study confirms that liver transplant recipients very frequently develop metabolic syndrome; however, the frequency found by this study (66%) was almost double that reported in other regions of the world, suggesting that patients from the Specialized Center San Vicente Fundación de Rionegro, Antioquia, Colombia, may present some additional condition. The medical records of all liver transplant patients attended at the Centro Especializado San Vicente Fundación between January 2013 and June 2017 were reviewed in order to determine the frequency of post-transplant metabolic syndrome (MS). We collected sociodemographic data, pathological history, toxicological history, complications, and ATP III criteria in a validated instrument. The statistical analysis was carried out with OpenEpi 3.01; p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Of the 102 reviewed medical records, 73 met the inclusion criteria (no MS diagnosis prior to transplant and complete information for the instru-ment) and were analyzed. Most patients were male (59%), older adults (64%) and married (62%). The frequency of MS after liver transplant was 66%. The association between MS and history of hypertension and diabetes was significant. We confirmed that MS is a frequent complication in liver transplant recipients and that history of hypertension and diabetes are the most frequent associated factors.

    Abstract The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus has a large impact on cattle production due to its bloodsucking habit and transmission of pathogens that cause babesiosis and anaplasmosis. Application of acaricides constitutes the major control method but is often accompanied by serious drawbacks, including environmental contamination and an increase in acaricide resistance by ticks. The recent development of anti-tick vaccines has provided positive results in the post-genomic era, owing to the rise of reverse vaccinological and bioinformatics approaches to analyze and identify candidate protective antigens for use against ticks. The ATAQ protein is considered a novel antigen for the control of the cattle tick R. microplus; it is expressed in midguts and Malpighian tubules of all ticks from the Rhipicephalus genus. However, genetic diversity studies are required. Here, the ATAQ gene was sequenced of seven R. microplus tick isolates from different regions in Mexico to understand the genetic diversity. The results showed that sequence identity among the Mexican isolates ranged between 98 and 100% and 97.8–100% at the nucleotide and protein levels, respectively. Alignments of deduced amino acid sequences from different R. microplus ATAQ isolates in Mexico revealed a high degree of conservation. However, the Mexican isolates differed from the R. microplus “Mozambique” strain, at 20 amino acid residues. Finally, the analysis of more R. microplus isolates, and possibly of other Rhipicephalus species, to determine the genetic diversity in the ATAQ locus is essential to suggest this antigen as a vaccine candidate that might control tick infestations.

    Abstract Introducción: Los estrógenos son hormonas ligadas a las diferentes fases del sistema reproductivo femenino y también tiene efectos simultáneos sobre el sistema vestibular. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura acerca de los cambios estrogénicos en el sistema vestibular, según cada etapa del desarrollo madurativo femenino. Materiales: búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos PubMed, Cochrane, Scielo, Google Scholar y Bvsalud de artículos publicados entre los años 1964 y 2020 con los términos ‘estrogen and dizziness’, ‘estrogen and vertigo’, ‘estrogen and vestibular disorders’. Se encontraron 207 artículos, 29 en idioma inglés los cuales contenían información relevante, acerca de los cambios estrogénicos en el sistema vestibular. Resultados: Desde la menarca hasta la menopausia, se han encontrado manifestaciones relacionadas con el oído interno tales como vértigo, acúfenos, plenitud aural e hipoacusia. Conclusiones: De acuerdo con cada etapa madurativa estrogénica, se han reportado cambios a nivel del sistema audiovestibular.
