Left Atrial Coupling Indexes as New Mortality Predictors in Chronic Chagas Disease
Echocardiographic left atrial coupling indexes are promising prognostic markers of dismal outcome in Chagas disease. They were associated with all‐cause mortality independent from age, sex, and echocardiographic indexes, including LV ejection fraction, supporting their potential clinical relevance.

The malate–aspartate shuttle supports thermogenic lipid mobilization in brown adipocytes
Brown fat cells burn lipids within their mitochondria to generate heat. This process involves two energy “shuttles,” one of which is naturally blocked during heat production. We found that the second shuttle (MASh) is not required to generate heat. However, when MASh is disabled, the fatty acids meant for fuel are instead converted back into stored fat.

Abstract Introduction People living with HIV (PLWH) face an increasing burden of non‐AIDS‐related chronic conditions. However, how the COVID‐19 pandemic affected chronic disease‐related mortality in this population remains unclear. We assessed changes in mortality among PLWH in Brazil during the COVID‐19 pandemic.

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

ABSTRACT Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a human neglected tropical disease in which dogs participate as reservoirs of the etiological agent Leishmania chagasi. The identification of infected dogs is important to the control of VL, and recombinant proteins are strong antigen candidates for canine visceral leishmaniasis (CVL) serodiagnosis. In this work,

Impairment of hepato‐intestinal homeostasis triggered by ST2 deficiency during T. cruzi infection. Within the splenic compartment, immune dysregulation is marked by a robust pro‐inflammatory polarization of the T‐cell landscape. In the liver, ST2 deficiency is associated with hepatocellular injury, increased parasite burden, and hyperalbuminemia ...
