Ciguatera fish poisoning in Brazilian traveler to Caribbean [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2019
Ciguatera poisoning is the most common form of non-bacterial food-poisoning from fish worldwide. The incidence among Brazilians returning from high-risk regions is unclear because it is not a mandatory reportable disease. We describe a previously healthy

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer: the evolution of a cancer syndrome. [PDF]

J R Soc N Z
ABSTRACT Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) is a high risk cancer syndrome caused predominantly by germline mutations in the CDH1 gene. HDGC is characterised by a lifetime risk of advanced diffuse‐type gastric (stomach) cancer of up to 70%, and an additional 40% lifetime risk of lobular breast cancer in women.

Reviewing Evidence for Disturbance to Coral Reefs Increasing the Risk of Ciguatera [PDF]

Toxins
The hypothesis that disturbance to coral reefs creates new surfaces that increase the risk of ciguatera is premised upon the increased algal substrates that develop on these surfaces being colonised by high ciguatoxin (CTX)-producing Gambierdiscus ...

Synthesis of the A−F Fragment of the Pacific Ciguatoxin CTX3C by Iterative Ring‐Closing Metathesis and Tsuji–Trost Allylation

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 29, Issue 72, December 22, 2023., 2023
The fully functionalized A−F ring system of the Pacific ciguatoxin CTX3C suitable for coupling to the I−M fragment of the natural product, has been synthesized from a simple glucal derivative. A six‐step sequence that features ring‐closing metathesis and stereoselective palladium‐mediated allylation has been deployed in an iterative manner to construct

MultiBarcodeTools: Easy selection of optimal primers for eDNA multi‐metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1793-1808, November 2023., 2023
Metabarcoding of environmental DNA (eDNA) is a revolutionary technique for monitoring of ecosystems, but no single primer can amplify and discriminate all species in any environment. We developed MultiBarcodeTools, which automatically recommend the optimal combination of fish eDNA multi‐metabarcoding primers.

A Perspective on Removal of Cyanotoxins from Water Through Advanced Oxidation Processes

Global Challenges, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
Sulfate radical‐based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) excel in cyanotoxin removal. Their high reactivity efficiently degrades diverse cyanotoxins, ensuring safe water quality. Their versatility and effectiveness make them the most suitable AOPs and safeguard aquatic ecosystems and human health.

An assessment of people living by coral reefs over space and time

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 23, Page 7139-7153, December 2022., 2022
Human populations near ecosystems are used as both a proxy for dependency on ecosystems, and conversely to estimate threats. We present trends of changes in human populations living near coral reefs over a 20‐year time period (2000‐2020). We find that across 117 coral reef countries there are currently close to a billion people living within 100 km of ...
