Infant population’s death causes in Ciudad Juarez, 1953-1954

Guadalupe Santiago Quijada (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

This article presents a study about the causes of death of the child population in Ciudad Juarez, at the beginning of the second half of the 20th century. In this document, emphasis has been placed on investigating the government response, on the activities carried out by local health institutions to deal with the diseases and prevent the number of infant deaths from continuing to increase; and in a particular way, in the actions of society to reduce suffering and protect children. Regarding the sources of information that were used, the data registered in the death books of 1953 and 1954 that are in the Civil Registry of Ciudad Juarez were explored and quantified. Also, the newspaper El Fronterizo and various bibliography were reviewed to establish the urban historical context in which this tragedy occurred.

Potential of Omics to control diseases and pests in the Coconut tree

The coconut palm (Cocos nucifera L.) is a common crop in pantropical areas facing various challenges, one of them being the control of diseases and pests. Diseases such as bud rot caused by Phytophthora palmivora, lethal yellowing caused by phytoplasmas of the types 16SrIV-A, 16SrIV-D or 16SrIV-E, among others, and pests like the coconut palm weevil, Rhynchophorus vulneratus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), and the horned beetle, Oryctes rhinocerus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), are controlled by applying pesticides, pheromones and cultural control. These practices do not guarantee eradication since some causal agents have become resistant or are imbedded in infected tissues making them difficult to eradicate. This review condenses the current genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics studies which are being conducted with the aim of understanding the pathosystems associated with the coconut palm, highlighting the findings generated by omics studies that may become future targets for the control of diseases and pests in the coconut crop. © 2022 by the authors.

Metabolic syndrome (MS) has been associated with testicular damage. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystemic disease that affects different organs, but its effect on the testes is unknown. A study analyzing germ cell involvement on BALB/c mice was carried out. A parallel comparative study was conducted that investigated alterations in the germinal epithelium of male humans that died from an unrelated acute event. The complete medical histories and histologic samples of the thoracic aorta, liver tissue, and testicular tissue from the deceased subjects were collected. The degree of germinal epithelial loss (DGEL) was evaluated and the clinical and histologic data were compared between individuals with and without NAFLD. The only metabolic or morphologic variable that caused a significant difference in the DGEL, in both the animal model and humans, was the presence of liver steatosis. The percentage of steatosis was also correlated with the percentage of the DGEL. In humans, steatosis (greater than 20%) increased the risk 12-fold for presenting with a severe DGEL (OR: 12.5; 95% CI [1.2, 128.9]; p = .03). There was no association with age above 50 years or MS components. Steatosis grade was also correlated with atherosclerosis grade. NAFLD was a strongly associated factor implicated in severe DGEL, as well as the testis was identified as a probable target organ for damage caused by the disease. his finding could result in the search for new approach strategies in the management of men with fertility problems. Further studies are required to confirm these results.

Cómo ser inmune a tus propios venenos: las lecciones del metabolismo secundario de las plantas

FRAY MARTIN BAAS ESPINOLA (2022, [Artículo])

Las plantas cuentan con metabolitos secundarios que participan en la defensa química contra patógenos y herbívoros e influyen negativamente en otros organismos. Estas interacciones pueden actuar sobre la base de ejercer un efecto tóxico, interrumpiendo funciones importantes para el desarrollo celular, como el metabolismo del ácido desoxirribonucleico (ADN) y las proteínas del ciclo celular. Pero, ¿son los metabolitos secundarios tóxicos para el mismo organismo que los produce?, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que la vida se sustenta en bases bioquímicas y metabólicas comunes a todos los seres vivos. Este artículo trata sobre las estrategias metabólicas que usan las plantas para esquivar los efectos tóxicos de sus propios «venenos».
