TL;DR: Different staining techniques and certain experimental procedures showed that there are differences between the neurosecretory material of the neural lobe, which is the site of release of adenohypophysis-stimulating substances into the portal vessels.
Abstract: The neurohypophysis of the toad Bufo arenarum Hensel can be subdivided into two well defined zones: the median eminence and the neural lobe. In its turn, the median eminence consists of two zones: a neural subependymal one, containing the axons of the hypothalamic-neurohypophysial tract; and a glandular one, made up of the capillaries of the primary plexus of the portal hypophysial system and of neurosecretory axons.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the association of demographic, health, and socioeconomic factors and outcomes in Chile during the first five months of the COVID-19 pandemic and found that common and idiosyncratic elements explain the prevalence and dynamics of infections and mortality.
Abstract: Demographic, health, and socioeconomic factors significantly inform COVID-19 outcomes. This article analyzes the association of these factors and outcomes in Chile during the first five months of the pandemic. Using the municipalities Metropolitan Region's municipalities as the unit of analysis, the study looks at the role of time dynamics, space, and place in cases and deaths over a 100-day period between March and July 2020. As a result, common and idiosyncratic elements explain the prevalence and dynamics of infections and mortality. Social determinants of health, particularly multidimensional poverty index and use of public transportation play an important role in explaining differences in outcomes. The article contributes to the understanding of the determinants of COVID-19 highlighting the need to consider time-space dynamics and social determinants as key in the analysis. Structural factors are important to identify at-risk populations and to select policy strategies to prevent and mitigate the effects of COVID-19. The results are especially relevant for similar research in unequal settings.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic and phylogeographic analysis suggests that the spread of HCV-2c occurred in Europe and South America almost simultaneously, possibly as a result of the advances in medicine technology of the first half of the 20th century.
Abstract: The Hepatitis C Virus Genotype 2 subtype 2c (HCV-2c) is detected as a low prevalence subtype in many countries, except in Southern Europe and Western Africa. The current epidemiology of HCV in Argentina, a low-prevalence country, shows the expected low prevalence for this subtype. However, this subtype is the most prevalent in the central province of Cordoba. Cruz del Eje (CdE), a small rural city of this province, shows a prevalence for HCV infections of 5%, being 90% of the samples classified as HCV-2c. In other locations of Cordoba Province (OLC) with lower prevalence for HCV, HCV-2c was recorded in about 50% of the samples. The phylogenetic analysis of samples from Cordoba Province consistently conformed a monophyletic group with HCV-2c sequences from all the countries where HCV-2c has been sequenced. The phylogeographic analysis showed an overall association between geographical traits and phylogeny, being these associations significant (α = 0.05) for Italy, France, Argentina (places other than Cordoba), Martinique, CdE and OLC. The coalescence analysis for samples from CdE, OLC and France yielded a Time for the Most Common Recent Ancestor of about 140 years, whereas its demographic reconstruction showed a "lag" phase in the viral population until 1880 and then an exponential growth until 1940. These results were also obtained when each geographical area was analyzed separately, suggesting that HCV-2c came into Cordoba province during the migration process, mainly from Europe, which is compatible with the history of Argentina of the early 20th century. This also suggests that the spread of HCV-2c occurred in Europe and South America almost simultaneously, possibly as a result of the advances in medicine technology of the first half of the 20th century.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the paradigmas vigentes for the formacion of recursos humanos en salud necesarios for el world, tomando en consideracion algunos de sus determinantes como: voluntad politica, recurso financieros, and flujo migratorio.
Abstract: Se reflexiona sobre los paradigmas vigentes para la formacion de recursos humanos en salud necesarios para el mundo, tomando en consideracion algunos de sus determinantes como: voluntad politica, recursos financieros y flujo migratorio. Se ponen de manifiesto las causas e implicaciones, en ultima instancia, sociales, de la utilizacion del modelo flexneriano para la formacion de estos recursos. Se analizan ademas los diferentes retos que enfrenta hoy a nivel mundial la educacion de pregrado y posgrado en Ciencias de la Salud.
