Integrative diagnosis and review of the conservation status of a Near Threatened species of the “Psalidodon scabripinnis complex” by Priscilla Caroline Silva, Karine Orlandi Bonato, Vinícius A. Bertaco, Luiz Roberto Malabarba

“…DNA barcoding for these populations and other of the “Psalidodon scabripinnis complex” living in swift currents further supports the recognition of Psalidodon brachypterygium (new combination), P. cremnobates and P. laticeps as distinctive species, regardless of the lack of discrete and diagnosable ranges in body counts and measurements among them. Barcode DNA, in this sense, helps in recognizing monophyletic lineages and determining the boundaries between species with similar morphologies. …”

Exploring the potential of Carica Papaya Leaf Extract: a perspective on its effectiveness in ameliorating thrombocytopenia in dengue patients by Maliha Khalid, Muhammad Saad Khan, Erum Siddiqui, Aminath Waafira

“…It is an infectious disease having potentially severe outcomes including thrombocytopenia.Discussion: Carica Papaya Leaf Extract (CPLE) has emerged as an off-label treatment option, showing promising results in increasing platelet counts and reducing hospital stays. However, a critical assessment of existing research reveals methodological flaws, hindering specific recommendations.Conclusion: This perspective advocates for comprehensive research to evaluate the risks and benefits of CPLE as a potential remedy for thrombocytopenia associated with dengue fever. …”

Average Analytic Ranks of Elliptic Curves over Number Fields by Tristan Phillips

“…A key ingredient in the proof is giving asymptotics for the number of elliptic curves over an arbitrary number field with a prescribed local condition; these results are obtained by proving general results for counting points of bounded height on weighted projective stacks with a prescribed local condition, which may be of independent interest.…”
