description: Ochyroceratidae Fage, 1912
Remark. The original spelling of the family-group name Ochyroceratidae was not formed in accordance with Article 29.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) (1999), as the stem of the type genus Ochyrocera is Ochyrocer -, therefore the correct family-group name should be Ochyroceridae (to be Ochyroceratidae, the type genus should be Ochyroceras, stem Ochyrocerat -). To our knowledge the name Ochyroceridae has been previously used in four articles (Gerhardt 1930; Slowik & Sikes 2011; Wunderlich 2012, 2015), but in three of them there is evidence that it was used as a misspelling of Ochyroceratidae. Here we maintain the original spelling Ochyroceratidae according to the Article 29.5 of the ICZN, which allows the maintenance of current spellings in prevailing usage, whether or not their derivation from the name of the type genus is in accordance with the grammatical procedures in Articles 29.3.1 and 29.3.2.

Notes. We have studied Argentinian specimens that have a color pattern similar to B. lepida, but their male terminalia indicate that they belong in B. rubripennis. These specimens have the ground color of the anterior dorsum (head and pronotum) orange to red with dark brown to black markings as follows: anterior margin of crown with two large spots; posterior margin of crown with pair of maculae extending to ocelli; broad macula over coronal suture; anterior margin of pronotum with two large spots, posterior margin with broad transverse macula connected to median stripe, the latter linked laterally to anterior pair of spots; pronotum with smaller macula behind each compound eye and extending to posterior margin. Mesonotum almost entirely dark brown to black, delimiting pair of oblique orange to red areas. Forewing mostly dark orange to red, without spots.
Material examined. Argentina [New record], Buenos Aires Province.

Ochyrocera arietina Simon, 1892: 566, pl. 42, fig. 10.
Female and male syntypes from “Insula Sancti Vicentii” (Saint Vincent, Lesser Antilles), deposited in the MNHN, examined in part through photos. Simon, 1893: 285, fig. 243; Fage, 1912: 120, pl. 6, figs 35–42.
Remark. Simon (1892) described the species from both sexes, and Fage (1912) studied two females and one male from Saint Vincent deposited in Simon’s collection, presumably the syntypes. The jar of Ochyrocera arietina E.S. in the MNHN collections contained a single tube with the label “MUSEUM PARIS AR 1423 | Ochyroceratidae arictina [sic] E.S ♀ | piéces buccales | Im – St. Vincent (cb.m.)” (C.J. Grismado, personal communication).Although the label reads ♀, the tube contained a tube with a single male lacking the abdomen, the left palp and part of the legs. We interpret this specimen as part of the original syntype series and have examined it through photos (Fig. 12). The morphology of the palp matches the drawing by Fage (1912, fig. 42), although the distal portion of the embolus is distinctly bent in the syntype, possibly a preservation artifact. The whereabouts of Simon’s female specimens are unknown, and we have made no effort to trace them.
Distribution. Known only from Saint Vicent, Lesser Antilles. The record from Cuba by Dumitrescu & Georgescu (1992) is misidentified; see discussion below.

description: Abstract The availability of virtual reality (VR) in the medical field has been rapidly increasing in the past years. Here we investigate to which extent the VR headset can lead to a reduction in anxiety and pain in patients during surgical procedures under local anesthesia in the head and neck region. Patients were divided into a study group ( N  = 67) and a control group ( N  = 28). The study group used a VR headset during surgical procedures in the head and neck region under local anaesthesia. Before and after surgery, the influence of the VR headset on perioperative anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait-Anxiety-Inventory (STAI) in both groups. The use of a VR headset leads to a significant reduction in perioperative anxiety. The anxiety scores measured by means and ranks of the STAI were significantly decreased ( p =  .002). However, 14/67 (20.9%) of the patients wearing the VR headset also reported higher intraoperative tension. No technical complications occurred intraoperatively. 48/67 (71.7%) of the patients would be less apprehensive about a future operation when using a VR headset and 58/67 (86.6%) would further recommend the use of a VR headset to other patients. In addition to a trusting surgeon-patient relationship and the use of sufficient local anaesthesia, the use of a VR headset as a method of distraction can further reduce the intraoperative anxiety of patients.

description: Conventional processing of sensory input often relies on uniform sampling leading to redundant information and unnecessary resource consumption throughout the entire processing pipeline. Neuromorphic computing challenges these conventions by mimicking biology and employing distributed event-based hardware. Based on the task of lateral auditory sound source localization (SSL), we propose a generic approach to map biologically inspired neural networks to neuromorphic hardware. First, we model the neural mechanisms of SSL based on the interaural level difference (ILD). Afterward, we identify generic computational motifs within the model and transform them into spike-based components. A hardware-specific step then implements them on neuromorphic hardware. We exemplify our approach by mapping the neural SSL model onto two platforms, namely the IBM TrueNorth Neurosynaptic System and SpiNNaker. Both implementations have been tested on synthetic and real-world data in terms of neural tunings and readout characteristics. For synthetic stimuli, both implementations provide a perfect readout (100% accuracy). Preliminary real-world experiments yield accuracies of 78% (TrueNorth) and 13% (SpiNNaker), RMSEs of 41∘ and 39∘, and MAEs of 18∘ and 29∘, respectively. Overall, the proposed mapping approach allows for the successful implementation of the same SSL model on two different neuromorphic architectures paving the way toward more hardware-independent neural SSL.

description: Cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) is a bacterial second messenger discovered in Bacillus subtilis and involved in potassium homeostasis, cell wall maintenance and/or DNA stress response. As the role of c-di-AMP has been mostly studied in Firmicutes, we sought to increase the understanding of its role in Actinobacteria, namely in Corynebacterium glutamicum. This organism is a well-known industrial production host and a model organism for pathogens, such as C. diphtheriae or Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we identify and analyze the minimal set of two C. glutamicum enzymes, the diadenylate cyclase DisA and the phosphodiesterase PdeA, responsible for c-di-AMP metabolism. DisA synthesizes c-di-AMP from two molecules of ATP, whereas PdeA degrades c-di-AMP, as well as the linear degradation intermediate phosphoadenylyl-(3′→5′)-adenosine (pApA) to two molecules of AMP. Here, we show that a ydaO/kimA-type c-di-AMP-dependent riboswitch controls the expression of the strictly regulated cell wall peptidase gene nlpC in C. glutamicum. In contrast to previously described members of the ydaO/kimA-type riboswitches, our results suggest that the C. glutamicum nlpC riboswitch likely affects the translation instead of the transcription of its downstream gene. Although strongly regulated by different mechanisms, we show that the absence of nlpC, the first known regulatory target of c-di-AMP in C. glutamicum, is not detrimental for this organism under the tested conditions. © In Copyright http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/

description: Whether symptoms during COVID-19 contribute to impaired left ventricular (LV) function remains unclear. We determine LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) between athletes with a positive COVID-19 test (PCAt) and healthy control athletes (CON) and relate it to symptoms during COVID-19. GLS is determined in four-, two-, and three-chamber views and assessed offline by a blinded investigator in 88 PCAt (35% women) (training at least three times per week/>20 MET) and 52 CONs from the national or state squad (38% women) at a median of two months after COVID-19. The results show that the GLS is significantly lower (GLS −18.53 ± 1.94% vs. −19.94 ± 1.42%, p < 0.001) and diastolic function significantly reduces (E/A 1.54 ± 0.52 vs. 1.66 ± 0.43, p = 0.020; E/E′l 5.74 ± 1.74 vs. 5.22 ± 1.36, p = 0.024) in PCAt. There is no association between GLS and symptoms like resting or exertional dyspnea, palpitations, chest pain or increased resting heart rate. However, there is a trend toward a lower GLS in PCAt with subjectively perceived performance limitation (p = 0.054). A significantly lower GLS and diastolic function in PCAt compared with healthy peers may indicate mild myocardial dysfunction after COVID-19. However, the changes are within the normal range, so that clinical relevance is questionable. Further studies on the effect of lower GLS on performance parameters are necessary.
