THE THERMOPHILIC CYANOPHYTES OF ICELAND AND THE UPPER TEMPERATURE LIMIT 1

The upper temperature limit for the growth of chlorophyllous cyanophytes was estimated at about 63–64 C by observations of field populations and by the growth of culture isolates at that temperature. Several isolates of Mastigocladus laminosus were made from different Iceland springs and temperatures. A few continued to grow at 62 C and one at 64 C. M. laminosus was the cyanophyte in Iceland tolerant of the highest temperature. The several species or races of narrow‐cell‐form Synechococcus, which almost exclusively inhabit North American and other springs above 62 C and up to about 74 C, were not found in Iceland. According to my observations and those of others, a maximum of 6–8 cyanophyte species occur in waters over 45 C in all of Iceland. Many times this number has been reported from continental regions of great thermal activity. The low number of species and the absence of particular thermophilic cyanophytes may result from inadequate dispersal from other thermal areas since the end of the last glaciation. Environmental inadequacies (e.g., winter darkness, or minimum‐maximum concentrations of nutrients or other solutes) may also be factors in the absence of certain species.
FINE STRUCTURE AND TAXONOMY OF MONOMORPHINA AENIGMATICA COMB. NOV. (EUGLENOPHYTA) 1

The euglenoid genus Monomorphina was defined by Mereschowsky in 1877 to include rigid euglenoids that were pyriform in lateral view, had a hyaline spine at the posterior end, and one to few parietal chloroplasts typically without pyrenoids. The genus included taxa previously assigned to Phacus Dujardin or Euglena Ehrenberg. The general structure of Monomorphina aenigmatica comb. nov. is described on the basis of light microscopy and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Cells were pear‐shaped in lateral view, rounded at the anterior end and narrowed posteriorly, tapering into a long twisted tail. The pellicle had helically arranged strips spiralled in a counter‐clockwise fashion. A distinctive feature of M. aenigmatica was the presence of a single chloroplast bearing a pyrenoid, capped with a paramylon plate. The large parietal chloroplast extended along most of the cell with three prominent cup‐shaped paramylon caps on the external face. In transverse section, the chloroplast appeared C‐shaped. Because of the ambiguity surrounding the original descriptions used to diagnose this taxon, we designated an epitype for Monomorphina aenigmatica. Morphological features of this species were compared to other members of the genus.
Drug Resistance Among Drug-naive and First-line Antiretroviral Treatment-failing Children in Cameroon

Background: Scale-up to antiretroviral therapy (ART) requires surveillance for HIV drug resistance. With the goal of attaining 100% pediatric ART coverage in Cameroon, strategies to limit the spread of HIV resistance among children are very important. Methods: From June 2009 through February 2011, 92 HIV-1-infected children (41 ART-naive, 51 failing first-line ART) living in Yaoundé, Cameroon, were enrolled; HIV-1 Prot-RT genotypic resistance testing (GRT) was performed using an inhouse assay. Among 40 children failing first-line ART, treatment response was evaluated at weeks 24 and 48 after treatment was changed, based on GRT results. Results: The mean age was 72 months both for children who were drug-naive and those failing ART (range: 3–144 and 12–144, respectively), with a mean viremia of 5.59 log and 4.71 log RNA copies/mL, a median CD4 of 17% (588 cells/&mgr;L) and 23% (719 cells/&mgr;L), respectively. Median time-to-treatment failure was 610 days. A prevalence of 4.9% and 90% drug resistance was observed, respectively, among children who were drug-naive and those failing first-line ART, with circulating recombinant form CRF02_AG as the most prevalent clade (58.6% and 62%, respectively). After a change to GRT-based treatment, more than 90% of children had viremia <3 log RNA copies/mL at week 24 and confirmed at week 48, with 70% achieving undetectable viremia, although without correlation to immune response; 97.5% had switched to lopinavir/ritonavir-containing regimens. Conclusion: HIV-1 drug resistance was low among ART-naive children and very high among those failing first-line ART. Treatment change based on GRT was successful for most children, with lopinavir/ritonavir regimens being very promising for second-line use.
Evolution of the Epidemiology of Pneumococcal Disease Among Utah Children Through the Vaccine Era

From 1996 to 2009, we analyzed changes in pneumococcal disease (PD) in Utah children aged <18 years using International Classification of Diseases, ninth revision coded hospital discharges. We observed a sustained decrease in the incidence of PD among children <5 years in 2001–2004 (−36%) and 2005–2009 (−34%) compared with 1996–2000 (pre-7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine). Decreases were primarily in bacteremia, uncomplicated pneumonia, and meningitis. In contrast, significant increases in complicated pneumonia/empyema were noted in children <5 years (+95% and +85%) and 5 to 17 years (+2% and +70%). Despite decreases in PD among Utah children, complicated pneumonia/empyema has increased during the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine era.

GAYLIELLA GEN. NOV. IN THE TRIBE CERAMIEAE (CERAMIACEAE, RHODOPHYTA) BASED ON MOLECULAR AND MORPHOLOGICAL EVIDENCE 1

On the basis of comparative morphology and phylogenetic analyses of rbcL and LSU rDNA sequence data, a new genus, Gayliella gen. nov., is proposed to accommodate the Ceramium flaccidum complex (C. flaccidum, C. byssoideum, C. gracillimum var. byssoideum, and C. taylorii), C. fimbriatum, and a previously undescribed species from Australia. C. transversale is reinstated and recognized as a distinct species. Through this study, G. flaccida (Kützing) comb. nov., G. transversalis (Collins et Hervey) comb. nov., G. fimbriata (Setchell et N. L. Gardner) comb. nov., G. taylorii comb. nov., G. mazoyerae sp. nov., and G. womersleyi sp. nov. are based on detailed comparative morphology. The species referred to as C. flaccidum and C. dawsonii from Brazil also belong to the new genus. Comparison of Gayliella with Ceramium shows that it differs from the latter by having an alternate branching pattern; three cortical initials per periaxial cell, of which the third is directed basipetally and divides horizontally; and unicellular rhizoids produced from periaxial cells. Our phylogenetic analyses of rbcL and LSU rDNA gene sequence data confirm that Gayliella gen. nov. represents a monophyletic clade distinct from most Ceramium species including the type species, C. virgatum. We also transfer C. recticorticum to the new genus Gayliella.
Ratings of Patient–Provider Communication Among Veterans: Serious Mental Illnesses, Substance Use Disorders, and the Moderating Role of Trust

Many individuals with a mental illness are not satisfied with their communication with their primary provider. The present study examined the relationship of serious mental illness (SMI), substance use disorder (SUD), and trust for the provider with provider communication. The sample included Veterans Administration (VA) patients throughout the United States who either had a SMI diagnosis (schizophrenia or bipolar disorder) or were in a random sample of non-SMI patients (total N = 8,089). Latent class (LC) modeling identified three classes of provider communication ratings in the sample: very good, good, and poor. In LC regression, poor trust for the provider was associated with a decrease in the likelihood of being in the “very good” or “good” compared to the “poor” provider communication ratings group, and the decrease was significantly greater for VA patients with a SMI or SUD diagnosis than those without. Training providers on creating trust is particularly important for those who serve patients with SMI and SUD diagnoses.
Influenza Vaccine Safety in Children Less Than 5 Years Old: The 2010 and 2011 Experience in Australia

In August 2010, the United States Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended that the 2010–2011 CSL seasonal vaccine (Afluria) not be administered to children 6 months to 8 years of age because of the risk of febrile convulsion after immunization. This study reports a low rate (6%–7%) of fever after immunization with 2 non-CSL brands of 2011 seasonal influenza vaccine in Australian children <5 years of age. These data are reassuring for parents and healthcare workers regarding 2011 influenza vaccination in the northern hemisphere.
The association between change in motor function and cognition in older adults: a descriptive review

Abstract Purpose: This paper provides a descriptive review of research in the area of motor functioning in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer's disease (AD). The specific aims of this paper are to examine: (1) the correlation between clinical measures of motor function and cognitive change in older adults; (2) clinical measures of motor function as predictors of conversion to cognitive impairment in healthy older adults and progression of cognitive impairment in people with MCI; (3) clinical measures of motor function as predictors of rate of decline in cognitive function in healthy older adults, people with MCI, and those with early AD. An additional objective is to discuss the relevance of this information to the practice of physical therapy. Methods: A literature search was conducted using Psych Info, CINAHL, Medline and Pubmed databases. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), AD and cog* were each combined with gait, balance, fine motor, gross motor and extrapyramidal signs. Studies were included if they met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the current review. Results: Review of the literature revealed that various domains of physical function such as gait, balance, fine and gross motor skills, and extrapyramidal signs change in tandem with or as a predecessor to declines in cognitive impairment. Furthermore, measures in several of these domains have been found to be predictive of future cognitive and functional decline in nondemented adults as well as those with MCI. Conclusions: Identification of specific motor impairments may differentiate between cognitively unimpaired older adults and those with MCI or AD. These impairments may also predict future cognitive decline and increase diagnostic sensitivity when included in cognitive assessment batteries, thus providing increased opportunities for early intervention.
The effects of marital adjustment and spouse involvement on the behavioral treatment of agoraphobia: A meta-analytic review

Abstract In a meta-analysis of 12 recently published therapy outcome studies, the effects of marital distress and spouse-involved therapy on the outcome of exposure-based treatments for agoraphobiawere evaluated. Analyses indicated that the better the pre-treatment marital functioning of the patient, the greater the reduction in agoraphobic symptomatology up to one year following treatment. The effectiveness of spouse-involved exposure treatment, at least as currently practiced, was not found to be significantly different from the effectiveness of the more commonly used spouse-noninvolved exposure treatments. Specific research suggestions which may assist in providing a better understanding of the relations among agoraphobia, marital functioning, treatment modality, and treatment outcome are offered. In addition, we present guidelines for the conduct and reporting of future agoraphobia treatment research.
An Application of the Integrative Model to Women's Intention to Be Vaccinated Against HPV: Implications for Message Design

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the only definitively identified causal agent of cervical cancer. Given the availability of a vaccine that is effective against the two strains of HPV most commonly associated with cervical cancer, understanding the factors that influence women's decision to be vaccinated is crucial to uptake. Fishbein's (2000) integrative model of behavior provided theoretical guidance for a Web-based survey of college women (n = 174). Taken together, attitude, subjective norm, and perceived control predicted intention to vaccinate at R = . 83, with attitude being the strongest single predictor by a factor of 2. However, attitude and subjective norm interacted with perceived control such that both were more potent predictors of intention at higher levels of control. These results suggest modification of the integrative model. Attention to the beliefs that underlie attitude revealed that the best candidates for change were feelings of security regarding future health and certainty that the vaccine will provide protection. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for health education.
PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG LINEAGES OF THE CERAMIACEAE (CERAMIALES, RHODOPHYTA) BASED ON NUCLEAR SMALL SUBUNIT rDNA SEQUENCE DATA 1

Phylogenetic relationships among 69 species of the Ceramiales (51 Ceramiaceae, six Dasyaceae, seven Delesseriaceae, and five Rhodomelaceae) were determined based on nuclear SSU rDNA sequence data. We resolved five strongly supported but divergent lineages among the included Ceramiaceae: (i) the genus Inkyuleea, which weakly joins other orders of the Rhodymeniophycidae rather than the Ceramiales in our analyses; (ii) the tribe Spyridieae, which is sister to the remainder of the included ceramialean taxa; (iii) the subfamily Ceramioideae, weakly including the tribe Warrenieae; (iv) the subfamily Callithamnioideae; and (v) the subfamily Compsothamnioideae, which emerges as sister to the Dasyaceae/Delesseriaceae/Rhodomelaceae complex, thus rendering the Ceramiaceae sensu lato unequivocally paraphyletic, as has been argued separately on anatomical grounds by Kylin and Hommersand. Our data support a restricted concept of the Ceramiaceae that includes only one of the five lineages (Ceramioideae) that we have resolved. In addition to failing to ally with the Ceramiales in our molecular analyses, species of Inkyuleea differ substantially from other Ceramiaceae sensu lato in details of pre‐ and postfertilization development. The genus Inkyuleea is here assigned to the Inkyuleeaceae fam. nov., which we provisionally retain in the Ceramiales. Species of Spyridia also differ from the remaining Ceramiaceae in their postfertilization development, and, in light of our molecular data, the genus Spyridia is assigned to the Spyridiaceae. The Callithamnioideae is strongly monophyletic (100% in all analyses), which, in combination with key anatomical differences, supports elevation to family status for this lineage as the Callithamniaceae. Similarly, the Compsothamnioideae is solidly monophyletic in our molecular trees and has a unique suite of defining anatomical characters that supports family status for a complex that we consider to include the tribes Compsothamnieae, Dasyphileae, Griffithsieae, Monosporeae, Ptiloteae, Spermothamnieae, Sphondylothamnieae, Spongoclonieae, and Wrangelieae, for which the reinstated family name Wrangeliaceae is available.
A Content Analysis of Research on Religion and Spirituality in General Communication and Health Communication Journals

Little research has been conducted within the field of communication regarding the intersection of religious faith and health communication. One step toward addressing the existing gap in health communication literature is to establish an accurate picture of the present state of affairs. The purpose of this study was to describe publication patterns in communication journals over the past 10 years with respect to the intersection and faith and health communication. We conducted a content analysis on four broad-based communication journals that have been identified as central in the communication field, and two health communication journals. We present results regarding specific health conditions, nationalities, faith communities, channels of communication, domains of religion, and purposes of communication studied; methods used; trends in publication across time and communication journals; and comparison to other disciplines.
PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSES OF THE RED ALGAL ORDER RHODYMENIALES SUPPORTS RECOGNITION OF THE HYMENOCLADIACEAE FAM. NOV., FRYEELLACEAE FAM. NOV., AND NEOGASTROCLONIUM GEN. NOV. 1

Systematics of the red algal order Rhodymeniales was investigated using combined large‐subunit nuclear ribosomal DNA (LSU) and elongation factor 2 (EF2) analyses. These data were subjected to distance, parsimony, and Bayesian analyses, and the resulting phylogenies were largely congruent with previously published SSU results in that the four currently recognized rhodymenialean families (Champiaceae, Faucheaceae, Lomentariaceae, and Rhodymeniaceae) were resolved as monophyletic lineages (with the exception of Coelothrix, which is here transferred to the Champiaceae from the Rhodymeniaceae). In addition, taxa presently considered as incertae sedis consisted of two lineages (Fryeella lineage and Hymenocladia lineage). Based on these results, two new families are proposed: (i) the Fryeellaceae fam. nov. to accommodate the genera Fryeella, Hymenocladiopsis, and a new taxon from Tasmania, Australia; and (ii) the Hymenocladiaceae fam. nov., to accommodate Asteromenia, Hymenocladia, and Erythrymenia. In addition to resolving familial relationships, these analyses resolved some novel interspecific affinities, and we propose a new genus, Neogastroclonium gen. nov., for Gastroclonium subarticulatum, a species that differs significantly in both morphology and molecular data from genuine species of Gastroclonium. Relationships among additional faucheacean and lomentariacean taxa were investigated using LSU data only, and these results are discussed. The familial classification of the Rhodymeniales proposed herein is discussed in light of vegetative and reproductive anatomy, most notably the ontogeny of the tetrasporangia.
Using Messages Promoting Descriptive Norms to Increase Physical Activity

While it has been known for some time that what others do (i.e., normative behavior) can influence individual behavior, the effect of normative social influence on physical activity behavior has not been well established. The purpose of this study was to examine whether exposure to messages containing descriptive norm information about the prevalence of others' physical activity would affect individual physical activity behavior to a greater extent than exposure to nonnormative messages. Two independent studies were conducted. The first manipulated normative and nonnormative messages to examine effects on physical activity in office workers. Participants were assigned to one of four conditions (descriptive norm, health, appearance, or control) and received e-mail messages specific to their condition encouraging them to be active. It was hypothesized that participants in the descriptive norm condition would experience the greatest increase in physical activity, and the results supported this hypothesis for mild activity. A second study attempted to extend these results by examining the effect of descriptive norms on the activity behavior of university students, but no relationship was found. Typical activity levels and group identity with the reference group were suggested as possible explanations for the differing findings in these two studies.
NOVEL ICE‐BINDING PROTEINS FROM A PSYCHROPHILIC ANTARCTIC ALGA (CHLAMYDOMONADACEAE, CHLOROPHYCEAE) 1

Many cold‐adapted unicellular plants express ice‐active proteins, but at present, only one type of such proteins has been described, and it shows no resemblance to higher plant antifreezes. Here, we describe four isoforms of a second and very active type of extracellular ice‐binding protein (IBP) from a unicellular chlamydomonad alga collected from an Antarctic intertidal location. The alga is a euryhaline psychrophile that, based on sequences of the alpha tubulin gene and an IBP gene, appears to be the same as a snow alga collected on Petrel Island, Antarctica. The IBPs, which do not resemble any known antifreezes, have strong recrystallization inhibition activity and have an ability to slow the drainage of brine from sea ice. These properties, by maintaining liquid environments, may increase survival of the cells in freezing environments. The IBPs have a repeating TXT motif, which has previously been implicated in ice binding in insect antifreezes and a ryegrass antifreeze.
DINOFLAGELLATE HOST‐PARASITE STEROL PROFILES DICTATE KARLOTOXIN SENSITIVITY 1

We examined the sterol profile of Karlodinium veneficum (D. Ballant.) J. Larsen, Akashiwo sanguinea (Hiraska) Ge. Hansen et Moestrup, Alexandrium tamarense (M. Lebour) Balech, Alexandrium affine (H. Inoue et Fukuyo) Balech, Gonyaulax polygramma F. Stein, and Gymnodinium instriatum (Freud. et J. J. Lee) Coats, along with their Amoebophyra parasites. There were no consistent sterol profiles that characterized the genus Amoebophyra. Instead, in five out of six comparisons, the host and parasite sterol profiles where highly correlated. The one exception, Amoebophyra sp. ex Alex. tamarense, was least like its host in sterol profile and also possessed the widest host range for infection. There was little correlation between host and parasite in fatty acid profiles, with the parasite being deficient in fatty acids characteristic of the plastid [e.g., 18:5(n‐3) associated with galactolipids of the thylakoids, as previously published by Adolf et al. (2007)]. Those hosts and parasites with sterol profiles dominated by desmethyl sterols were most sensitive to karlotoxin toxicity. In the host‐parasite pairs most sensitive to karlotoxin addition, recovery of the intact karlotoxin molecule was poorest. Given the sensitivity to karlotoxin, some species of Amoebophyra may avoid infection of K. veneficum.
GENETIC DIVERSITY AND INTROGRESSION IN TWO CULTIVATED SPECIES (PORPHYRA YEZOENSIS AND PORPHYRA TENERA) AND CLOSELY RELATED WILD SPECIES OF PORPHYRA (BANGIALES, RHODOPHYTA) 1

We investigated the genetic variations of the samples that were tentatively identified as two cultivated Porphyra species (Porphyra yezoensis Ueda and Porphyra tenera Kjellm.) from various natural populations in Japan using molecular analyses of plastid and nuclear DNA. From PCR‐RFLP analyses using nuclear internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA and plastid RUBISCO spacer regions and phylogenetic analyses using plastid rbcL and nuclear ITS‐1 rDNA sequences, our samples from natural populations of P. yezoensis and P. tenera showed remarkably higher genetic variations than found in strains that are currently used for cultivation. In addition, it is inferred that our samples contain four wild Porphyra species, and that three of the four species, containing Porphyra kinositae, are closely related to cultivated Porphyra species. Furthermore, our PCR‐RFLP and molecular phylogenetic analyses using both the nuclear and plastid DNA demonstrated the occurrence of plastid introgression from P. yezoensis to P. tenera and suggested the possibility of plastid introgression from cultivated P. yezoensis to wild P. yezoensis. These results imply the importance of collecting and establishing more strains of cultivated Porphyra species and related wild species from natural populations as genetic resources for further improvement of cultivated Porphyra strains.
