M Victoria Salgado, Joanne Penko, Alicia Fernández, Francine Rios-Fetchko, Pamela G Coxson, Raúl Mejia  Abstract Background The well-established inverse relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD) cannot be explained solely by differences in traditional risk factors. Objective To model the role SES plays in the burden of premature CHD in Argentina.

M. Victoria Salgado, Yoonseo Mok,Jihyoun Jeon, Mohammed Jaffri, Jamie Tam, Theodore R. Holford, Luz M. Sánchez-Romero, Rafael Meza, and Raul Mejia Summary Background Argentina’s smoking rates remain high. We aim to estimate Argentina age-specific histories of smoking initiation, cessation, prevalence, and intensity by birth-cohort to inform policy interventions.

Neus Roca-Ayats, Iago Maceda, Carlos David Bruque, Núria Martínez-Gil, Natàlia Garcia-Giralt, Mónica Cozar, Leonardo Mellibovsky, Wim Van Hul, Oscar Lao, Daniel Grinberg, Susanna Balcells Abstract Background The human lineage has undergone a postcranial skeleton gracilization (i.e. lower bone mass and strength relative to body size) compared to other primates and archaic populations such as the Neanderthals. This gracilization has been traditionally explained by diferences in

Francisco Pisciottano, María Clara Campos, Clementina Penna, Carlos David Bruque, Toni Gabaldón, Patricia Saragüeta  Abstract The absence of robust interspecific isolation barriers among pantherines, including the iconic South American jaguar (Panthera onca), led us to study molecular evolution of typically rapidly evolving reproductive proteins within this subfamily and related groups. In this study, we delved into the evolutionary forces acting

Ezequiel J. Alba-Posse, Carlos David Bruque, Yamila Gandola, Javier Gasulla, Alejandro D. Nadra Abstract Cyanotoxins produced during harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) have become a worldwide issue of concern. Microcystins (MC) are the most ubiquitous group of cyanotoxins and have known carcinogenic and hepatotoxic effects. The protein phosphatase inhibition assays (PPIAs), based on the inhibition of

Martina Jabloñski, María Sol Rodríguez, Ezequiel Mariano Rivero, Carlos David Bruque, Silvia Vanzulli, Ariana Bruzzone, Cecilia Pérez Piñero, Isabel Alicia Lüthy Abstract Purpose: Globally breast cancer accounts for 24.5% in incidence and 15.5% in cancer deaths in women. The triple-negative subtype lacks any specific therapy and is treated with chemotherapy, resulting in significant side-effects. We aimed to investigate if the dose of

FRANCINE RÍOS-FETCHKO, ALICIA FERNÁNDEZ, RAÚL MEJÍA, M. VICTORIA SALGADO Abstract Background: Obesity rates in Latin America are increasing overall and among people with low socio-economic status (SES). Obesity and SES disparities can vary by region-a valuable indicator of local drivers. The objective of this study was to examine regional and SES differences in obesity in

Ianina C. Ferder, Lucía D. Espeche, Carlos D. Bruque, Fernanda Parborell, Marta Tesone and Liliana Dain Abstract Context: The FMR1 gene consists of 17 exons and codes for the FMRP protein. FMR1 is involved in four genetic disorders depending on the CGG repeats length in its 5’UTR: the full mutation is responsible for the Fragile X
