Climate change is increasingly disrupting medical laboratory operations worldwide, affecting diagnostic accuracy, infrastructure integrity, and supply chain stability. Hurricane Maria in 2017 devastated Puerto Rico, a major hub for medical supply manufacturing, leading to critical shortages of blood bags and reagents in U.S. hospitals. Rising global temperatures have also challenged the stability of temperature-sensitive reagents and biological samples, with studies indicating that a mere 2°C...

Background Patients with Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) typically present with a triad comprising tyrosinase-positive oculocutaneous albinism, a tendency to bleed easily, and ceroid accumulation in multiple tissues. Ocular findings in patients with HPS include poor vision, refractive errors, photophobia, periodic alternating nystagmus, iris transillumination, foveal hypoplasia, and albinotic mid-peripheral retina. Among these, foveal hypoplasia and reduced foveal thickness are key structural...

CONCLUSION: The PRIMERO birth cohort study, with its comprehensive data on viral exposures, respiratory outcomes, and airway molecular phenotypes in a high-risk population of Puerto Rican children, is uniquely positioned to address long-standing questions about the early-life determinants and mechanisms underlying virus-related asthma development.

INTRODUCTION: As demand for integrated behavioral health services grows, understanding specialized training programs' contribution to workforce development becomes crucial. This study examines the career trajectories of graduates from a primary care psychology internship program in Puerto Rico to inform integrated care workforce strategies.

Dermatomyositis (DM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are chronic rheumatic diseases that can affect multiple organ systems. Both conditions share several similarities, including pathogenic mechanisms, clinical manifestations, and pharmacological treatments. However, the coexistence of DM and SLE is rarely encountered in clinical practice. Here, we present the case of a 42-year-old woman who developed DM, characterized by proximal muscle weakness in the upper and lower extremities,...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing silent pandemic driven by multidrug-resistant infections, particularly those associated with medical devices such as dental implants, heart valves, and urinary catheters. This review addresses the urgent need for alternative antimicrobial strategies by exploring the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in the discovery of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and the rational design of bioactive surfaces. We describe how AI-based models accelerate the...
