    Abstract Spirometra Faust, Campbell et Kellogg, 1929 is a genus of cestodes belonging to the family Diphyllobothriidae. To date, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals are known second intermediate hosts of these parasites; humans can also be infected (the zoonotic disease is known as sparganosis or spirometrosis). Although the number of phylogenetic studies on Spirometra spp. has increased worldwide in recent years, there are few in South America. Specifically in Uruguay, molecular studies have shown that tapeworms of S. decipiens (Diesing, 1850) complexes 1 and 2 are present in this country. In this study, we characterised the larvae of Spirometra present in the annual fish Austrolebias charrua Costa et Cheffe. Phylogenetic analysis of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) sequences of these larvae showed that they belong to S. decipiens complex 1. This is the first report of teleost fishes serving as a second intermediate host for tapeworms of the genus Spirometra in nature.

    Abstract All documented cases of acute corneal allograft rejection following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination were examined, to characterize possible risk factors and graft outcomes. Comprehensive search (4 electronic databases: PubMed, CENTRAL, ClinicalTrials.gov, Google Scholar, plus manual search in articles' reference lists) until March 1st 2022 to identify studies reporting acute corneal allograft rejection following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination; study protocol was developed in line with PRISMA statement. We analysed demographics, allograft type, rejection prophylaxis regime at the time of vaccination, transplantation-to-vaccination time (G-Vt), vaccination-to-immune reaction onset time (V-Rt), management, best-corrected visual acuity before and after rejection, and graft survival. Of 169 titles/abstracts screened, 16 studies (n  = 36 eyes) met the inclusion criteria. Fourteen eyes (38.9%) had received >1 graft, and 11.1% of cases had history of immune reactions; 52.9% of cases occurred after the first dose. Median (P25-P75) G-Vt was 48 (10-78) months; median V-Rt was 9 (7-14) days. In eyes with resolved rejection, median time-to-resolution was 3 (1-4) weeks. Four eyes (11.1%) had partial resolution of corneal decompensation, and 5 grafts (13.9%) failed. Acute corneal allograft rejection after SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is a rare event, but may occur any time post-keratoplasty. Early recognition and prompt, aggressive treatment is warranted to optimize vision and graft survival. Well-known risk factors for rejection may be confounding factors, including the high proportion of cases with a history of previous grafts and the rejection prophylaxis regimes at the time of vaccination. Increasing immunosuppressants in the peri-vaccination period may decrease the risk of immune reactions, especially in high-risk cases.

    Abstract A great variety of functional foods, nutraceuticals, or foods with bioactive compounds are provided nowadays to consumers. Aware of the importance of the safety aspects, the food industry has to comply with different legal requirements around the world. In this review, the European regulatory framework for food-related bioactive compounds is summarized. The term ‘bioactive compound’ is not defined in the European regulations, however, since they can be part of food supplements, fortified foods, or novel food, they are included within the legal requirements of those corresponding types of foods or supplements. Lists of authorized compounds/foods appear in the correspondent regulations, however, when a new compound/food is going to be launched into the market, its safety assessment is essential. Although the responsibility for the safety of these compounds/foods lies with the food business operator placing the product on the market, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) carries out scientific evaluations to assess the risks for human health. To facilitate this procedure, different guidelines exist at the European level to explain the tier toxicity testing approach to be considered. This approach divides the evaluation into four areas: (a) toxicokinetics; (b) genotoxicity; (c) subchronic and chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity; and (d) reproductive and developmental toxicity.

    Abstract: ... in the endocrine pancreas. We review the studies that focused on G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5), Sphingosine-1 ...

    Abstract Bile acids have received increasing attention over the past years as their multiple alternative roles became clearer. Tauroursodeoxycholic Acid (TUDCA) in specific has generated special interest due to its ability to promote pancreatic survival and function, as well as reduce endoplasmic reticulum stress. However, there are few studies explaining the molecular mechanisms behind TUDCA's beneficial actions on pancreatic beta cells. In this review, we decided to review the literature in order to craft a primer for researchers on what is known about TUDCA's receptors and the molecular pathways involved in this bile acid's function in the endocrine pancreas. We review the studies that focused on G protein-coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5), Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) and α5β1 Integrin function in pancreatic cells. Our hope is to provide a basis for future studies to expand upon, especially considering the current lack of studies focusing on the importance of these receptors, either through TUDCA signaling or other signaling molecules.

    Abstract Background: Although the interactions between balance, falls and fracture risk have been demonstrated in various aspects, the clinical focus of fracture risk evaluation has been on bone properties, e.g., bone mineral density (BMD). Accordingly, the role of balance parameters in the setting of osteoporosis assessment remained to be further explored.
    Research question: Is postural stability assessed by Romberg quiet stance posturography influenced by BMD or prior fragility fractures in a cohort of more than 1000 patients screened for osteoporosis?
    Methods: Patients who completed both Romberg test and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) were included retrospectively from a large database. Quantification of the Romberg test was performed by using posturography. Center of pressure (CoP) movements were tracked and the corresponding path length for ten seconds as well as an ellipse area including 90 % of all CoP were calculated. To determine potential predictors of posturography, simple and multiple linear regression analyses were performed including DXA results, grip strength, age, sex and BMI. As a secondary outcome, the influence of a previous fragility fracture on postural stability was evaluated.
    Results: Overall, 1086 patients (801 women, 285 men) met the inclusion criteria. Lower femoral BMD T-score (p < 0.05), higher age (p < 0.001) and male sex (p < 0.001) were associated with higher Romberg path length (both eyes open and eyes closed). Both women and men with any previous fragility fracture showed significantly increased values in the path length with eyes open (p < 0.05) and eyes closed (women p < 0.001, men p < 0.05) compared to those without a history of a fragility fracture.
    Significance: Our study indicates that postural stability is affected by femoral BMD, age and sex. As a history of prior fragility fracture was associated with postural instability, assessment and management of impaired balance in everyday clinical practice is advisable for optimal fracture prevention.
