Background: Young adults account for up to 15% of all ischemic strokes, yet data from Latin America remain scarce. Understanding their clinical profile and outcomes is essential to inform targeted interventions and public health strategies. We aimed to characterize demographics, vascular risk factors, stroke etiology, access to acute reperfusion therapies, and 90-day outcomes in Argentine patients aged 18-50 years with ischemic stroke.

Types include epigenetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic clocks. NMR-based metabolomic clocks provide a non-invasive, high-throughput platform to assess metabolic health.

Stable Hg isotopes have emerged as powerful tools to trace historical pollution sources and reconstruct depositional pathways in natural archives. In this study, we present a 4000-year reconstruction of Hg isotopic composition from two Pyrenean lake sediment records (Lake Marboré and Lake Estanya) located along an altitudinal gradient and compare them with those of a nearby ombrotrophic peatland (Estibere mire).
