description: Objective: We aimed to identify a microRNA (miRNA) that is significantly upregulated in blood and in cells of the oral mucosa upon exposure to the periodontitis main risk factors oral inflammation and tobacco smoke, to subsequently identify its target gene and to describe the molecular mechanism of gene regulation. Background: miRNAs are associated with many disorders. Array-based miRNA expression studies indicated a number of differentially expressed miRNAs in the pathology of oral diseases. However, these miRNAs mostly lacked replication, and their target genes have remained unknown. Methods: 863 miRNAs were analyzed in blood from 18 PD cases and 70 controls (Geniom Biochip). Selected miRNAs were analyzed for upregulation in the inflamed oral mucosa of PD patients using published miRNA expression profiling studies from gingival cells. hsa-miR-374b-5p mimic was overexpressed in primary gingival fibroblasts (pGFs) from 3 donors, and genome-wide mRNA expression was quantified (Clarion Array). Gene-specific regulation was validated by qRT-PCR and Luciferase activity in HeLa cells. Results: hsa-miR-374b-5p showed >twofold change (FC) in 3 independent studies performed in blood, gingival tissues, and cells. After hsa-miR-374b-5p overexpression, genome-wide expression analysis showed UHMK1 as top 1 downregulated gene in pGFs (p = 2.5 × 10-04 , fold change = -1.8). Reporter genes demonstrated that hsa-miR-374b-5p downregulates mRNA levels (p = .02; FC = -1.5), leading to reduction in protein activity (p = .013, FC = -1.3). Conclusions: hsa-miR-374b-5p is upregulated in blood and ginvial cells exposed to oral inflammation and tobacco smoke and regulates UHMK1, which has a role in osteoclast differentiation.

description: In a recent preprint (arXiv:1401.1128v1) Cilibrizzi and co-workers report experiments and simulations showing the scattering of polaritons against a localised obstacle in a semiconductor microcavity. The authors observe in the linear excitation regime the formation of density and phase patterns reminiscent of those expected in the non-linear regime from the nucleation of dark solitons. Based on this observation, they conclude that previous theoretical and experimental reports on dark solitons in a polariton system should be revised. Here we comment why the results from Cilibrizzi et al. take place in a very different regime than previous investigations on dark soliton nucleation and do not reproduce all the signatures of its rich nonlinear phenomenology. First of all, Cilibrizzi et al. consider a particular type of radial excitation that strongly determines the observed patterns, while in previous reports the excitation has a plane-wave profile. Most importantly, the nonlinear relation between phase jump, soliton width and fluid velocity, and the existence of a critical velocity with the time-dependent formation of vortex-antivortex pairs are absent in the linear regime. In previous reports about dark soliton and half-dark soliton nucleation in a polariton fluid, the distinctive dark soliton physics is supported both by theory (analytical and numerical) and experiments (both continuous wave and pulsed excitation).

description: Context. Oxygen sequence Wolf-Rayet (WO) stars are thought to represent the final evolutionary stage of the most massive stars. The characteristic strong O vi emission possibly originates from an enhanced oxygen abundance in the stellar wind. Alternatively, the O vi emission can be caused by the high temperature of these stars, in which case the WO stars are the high-temperature extension of the more common carbon sequence Wolf-Rayet (WC) stars. Aims. By constraining the physical properties and evolutionary status of DR1, a WO star in the low-metallicity Local Group dwarf galaxy IC 1613 and one of only two objects of its class known in a SMC-like metallicity environment, we aim to investigate the nature of WO stars and their evolutionary connection with WC stars. Methods. We use the non-LTE atmosphere code cmfgen to model the observed spectrum of DR1 and to derive its stellar and wind parameters. We compare our values with other studies of WC and WO stars, as well as with the predictions of evolutionary models. We also model the surrounding nebula using the photo-ionization code cloudy. Results. The oxygen and carbon abundances that we obtain are comparable to values found for WC stars. The temperature and luminosity are, however, higher than those of WC stars. DR1 is embedded in the hottest known H ii region in the Local Group. The nebular properties can be consistently reproduced by cloudy models adopting DR1 as central ionizing source. Conclusions. Comparison of the abundances and temperature of DR1 with core helium-burning models show that DR1 is currently well into the second half of helium burning. If the properties of DR1 are representative for the WO class, it would imply that WO stars are the high-temperature and high-luminosity extension of the WC stars, and do not necessarily represent a later evolutionary stage.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική στοχεύει στην εξέταση της θερμικής συμπεριφοράς και τον καθορισμό των κινητικών παραμέτρων της διεργασίας της πυρόλυσης και αεριοποίησης διαφόρων βιομαζικών υλικών. Τα δείγματα που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν, επιλέχθηκαν σαν αντιπροσωπευτικά από σχεδόν όλα τα είδη βιομάζας και αποτελούνταν από αγροτικά υπολείμματα (υπολείμματα βάμβακος), δασικά υπολείμματα (πευκοβελόνες), ενεργειακές καλλιέργειες (ηλίανθος) και βιομηχανικά απόβλητα (πριονίδι). Η εξέταση αυτή έλαβε χώρα μέσω της χρήσης δύο μοντέλων, το μοντέλο ανεξάρτητων παράλληλων αντιδράσεων (IPR) και το μοντέλο κατανεμημένης ενέργειας ενεργοποίησης (DAEM), τα οποία αναπτύχθηκαν στο Εργαστήριο Εξευγενισμού και Τεχνολογίας Στερεών Καυσίμων του Πολυτεχνείου Κρήτης. Όλα τα πειράματα διεξήχθησαν σε σύστημα διαφορικής θερμικής ανάλυσης (TG/DTG).
Κατά τη διεργασία της πυρόλυσης, η αντιδραστικότητα των δειγμάτων ήταν: πριονίδι> ηλίανθος>υπολείμματα βάμβακος>πευκοβελόνες. H ενέργεια ενεργοποίησης που προέκυψε από την εφαρμογή του μοντέλου DAEM ήταν υψηλότερη από το μοντέλο IPR (έως 201 kJ/mole). H προσθήκη CaO σε ποσοστό 10%, κατά την πυρόλυση, μείωσε τις ενέργειες ενεργοποίησης.
Κατά την διεργασία της αεριοποίησης τον μέγιστο ρυθμό αντίδρασης και την μέγιστη απόδοση παρουσίασαν τα υπολείμματα βάμβακος. Και στα δυο κινητικά μοντέλα την μεγαλύτερη τιμή ενέργειας ενεργοποίησης κατείχε το δείγμα του πριονιδιού, 345 kJ/mole, με τη χρήση του μοντέλου DAEM. Η ενέργεια ενεργοποίησης των μιγμάτων και των δειγμάτων παρουσία καταλύτη μειώθηκε. Αμφότερα τα μοντέλα, έκαναν πολύ καλή προσαρμογή των δεδομένων, όμως για λόγους παραμετροποίησης και αποδοτικότητας προτείνεται το μοντέλο IPR.

description: Aim: To explore and analyse contextual challenges in nursing that have affected nurses' perceptions and role performance. Background: Health system hierarchy and patient/family-centred care has led to a high demand for skilled nurses. However, patriarchal organizations create challenges for nursing clinicians in Pakistan and elsewhere. Methods: A qualitative exploratory research (phenomenology) design was used. Twenty-five participants identified through purposive sampling contributed to the study. The data analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 Plus. We generated six major themes. Reporting was accomplished according to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research checklist. Results: Gendered division of labour places nurses in a submissive position in clinical practice. Decreases in nurse-to-patient ratio and increase in patient-focused care adversely affect evidence-based practice. The gap between theory and practice in delivering quality care is increasing due to existing communication barriers among health-related professionals and an inadequate work environment. Comparatively inactive nursing leadership and directorate roles are not improving the social image of nursing, and are promoting role conflict and poor nursing self-concepts among nurses. In fact, cultural shock experienced by young nurses has produced inherent disorientation in their professionalism and fostered displays of horizontal violence towards them by senior nurses. Conclusion: These challenges are influencing nurses' decisions to remain in or to join nursing as a profession that is confronted by severe recruitment and retention shortages due to the social and cultural stigmatization of this female dominated profession. Implications for nursing, health and social policy: This study promotes the concept of evidence-based practice to deliver quality health services in public hospitals and to improve the social status of nursing in Pakistan. It provides influential evidence to policymakers who should urgently address nurses' workplace health and safety issues as a global right.

description: In this work we carry out an analysis of the observed times of primary and secondary eclipses of the post-common envelope binary NSVS14256825. Recently, \cite{Almeida2013} proposed that two circumbinary companions orbit this short-period eclipsing binary, in order to explain observed variations in the timing of mutual eclipses between the two binary components. Using a standard weighted least-squares minimisation technique, we have extensively explored the topology of $χ^2$ parameter space of a single planet model. We find the data set to be insufficient to reliably constrain a one-companion model. Various models, each with similar statistical significance, result in substantially different orbital architectures for the additional companion. No evidence is seen for a second companion of planetary nature. We suspect insufficient coverage (baseline) of timing data causing the best-fit parameters to be unconstrained.

description: Aulacigastridae
The taxonomy of this small family of acalyptrate flies is confusing: several of its genera have been moved to more than one other family, in particular to the closely related Periscelididae. The result is that the number of species belonging to Aulacigastridae is unclear: Pape et al. (2011) listed just 19 species, Rung & Mathis (2011) listed 55, Evenhuis & Pape (2020) listed 61. Rondani (1875a) described one Palaearctic species, considered as a junior synonym (Rung & Mathis 2011), in his “ Stirps Loncheinae ”. The family Aulacigastridae was proposed by Duda (1924). Here, we designate a lectotype for Sephanilla sertulata Rondani, 1875.

description: We have investigated the mass accretion rate implied by published surface abundances of Si and C in the white dwarf component of the 3.62 hr period pre-cataclysmic binary and planet host candidate QS Vir (DA+M2-4). Diffusion timescales for gravitational settling imply $\dot{M} \sim 10^{-16}M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ for the 1999 epoch of the observations, which is three orders of magnitude lower than measured from a 2006 {\it XMM-Newton} observation. This is the first time that large accretion rate variations have been seen in a detached pre-CV. A third body in a 14 yr eccentric orbit suggested in a recent eclipse timing study is too distant to perturb the central binary sufficiently to influence accretion. A hypothetical coronal mass ejection just prior to the {\it XMM-Newton} observation might explain the higher accretion rate, but the implied size and frequency of such events appear too great. We suggest accretion is most likely modulated by a magnetic cycle on the secondary acting as a wind "accretion switch", a mechanism that can be tested by X-ray and ultraviolet monitoring. If so, QS Vir and similar pre-CVs could provide powerful insights into hitherto inscrutable cataclysmic variable and M dwarf magnetospheres, and mass and angular momentum loss rates.

description: Melatonin is recommended as a first-line treatment in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD), although no large patient group has been reported. To assess effects, time course and confounding factors in the treatment of patients with iRBD using melatonin, 209 consecutive patients were included in this single-center, observational cohort study. A total of 171 patients had taken melatonin according to our chronobiotic protocol (2 mg, >= 6 months, always-at-the-same-clock time, 10-11pm, corrected for chronotype), 13 had applied melatonin for about 1-3 months, and 25 underwent mixed treatments. In total, 1529 clinical evaluations were performed, including Clinical Global Impression (CGI) and a newly developed RBD symptom severity scale (Ikelos-RS), analyzed using linear mixed models. Validation of Ikelos-RS showed excellent inter-rater reliability (rho = 0.9, P < .001), test-retest reliability (rho = 0.9, P < .001) and convergent validity (rho = 0.9, P < .001). With melatonin, RBD symptom severity gradually improved over the first 4 weeks of treatment (Ikelos-RS: 6.1 vs. 2.5; CGI Severity: 5.7 vs. 3.2) and remained stably improved (mean follow-up 4.2 +/- 3.1years; range: 0.6-21.7years). Initial response was slowed to up to 3 months with melatonin-suppressing (betablockers) or REM sleep spoiling co-medication (antidepressants) and failed with inadequately timed melatonin intake. When melatonin was discontinued after 6 months, symptoms remained stably improved (mean follow-up after discontinuation of 4.9 +/- 2.5years; range: 0.6-9.2). When administered only 1-3 months, RBD symptoms gradually returned. Without any melatonin, RBD symptoms persisted and did not wear off over time. Clock-timed, low-dose, long-term melatonin treatment in patients with iRBD appears to be associated with the improvement of symptoms. The outlasting improvement over years questions a pure symptomatic effect. Clock-time dependency challenges existing prescription guidelines for melatonin.

description: We draw on scientific literature and publicly available data to describe challenges to MVP stream and wetland crossing construction in the Bent Mountain, Virginia area. The area assessed is underlain by aquifers that are highly susceptible to contamination by human activities. Additionally, we describe how headwater streams, like those found near Bent Mount, are critical to overall river system health and may be impacted by pipeline construction. Lastly, analysis of soils data shows severe limitations for and sensitivity to construction activities near Bent Mountain. We strongly recommend that MVP be required to conduct field-based geotechnical feasibility assessments for all stream and wetland crossings.

This large family of Bibionomorpha contains nearly 6,500 species (Evenhuis & Pape 2020) with presumably many more awaiting description (Marshall 2012). These tiny flies, or gall midges, are unusually difficult to collect, study and preserve, which could explain why Rondani (1840b, 1843 c, 1848a, 1861a, 1864b, 1867a, 1869c) described only 16 Palaearctic nominal species. Nine are currently considered as valid, four as junior synonyms and three as nomina dubia (Skuhravá 1986, Dahl et al. 1995, Gagné & Solinas 1996, Gagné 2010, Gagné & Jaschhof 2017). Rondani proposed a substitute name for a species previously described and named by himself. Rondani (1876c) also listed a nomen nudum. Gagné & Solinas (1996) attributed a manuscript name to Rondani. Jaschhof (1998) fixed the neotype for Micromya lucorum. Gagné & Solinas (1996) designated a lectotype for Brachineura fuscogrisea Rondani 1840 in the MZUF; Jaschhof (1998) designated a lectotype for Neurolyga fenestralis Rondani, 1840 and Neurolyga silvalis Rondani, 1840, both of them in the MZUF. Except for three species that have presumably been lost, and 13 types (nine syntypes and four paralectotypes) of five species in the OUMNH, the type material has been recovered for all nominal species and is in the MZUF, most of it in poor condition.

description: The heterolytic cleavage of dihydrogen constitutes the hallmark reaction of frustrated Lewis pairs (FLP). While being well‐established for planar Lewis acids, such as boranes or silylium ions, the observation of the primary H2 splitting products with non‐planar Lewis acid FLPs remained elusive. In the present work, we report bis(perfluoro‐N‐phenyl‐ortho‐amidophenolato)silane and its application in dihydrogen activation to a fully characterized hydridosilicate. The strict design of the Lewis acid, the limited selection of the Lewis base, and the distinct reaction conditions emphasize the narrow tolerance to achieve this fascinating process with a tetrahedral Lewis acid.

description: Innovation is a key factor for economic growth and wealth accumulation and a constant preoccupation for governments around the world. This study reviews the theoretical foundations and existing evidence for using public procurement to stimulate innovation. The focus is on procurement programs at subnational level, since in Canada almost ninety per cent of procurement is undertaken by subnational governments. I review current public procurement programs in OECD countries and Canada to develop a set of recommendations for increasing the use of public procurement programs to stimulate innovation, particularly in the education sector.

We identify robust quantum Hall states at filling factors ν=-1, -4/3, -5/3, -8/5, -1/2, and discuss the nature of their ground states, collective excitations, and relation to the more familiar states in GaAs using a tractable model. In particular, we present evidence that the ν=-1/2 state, which was recently reported experimentally, is non-Abelian, and described by either the Moore-Read Pfaffian wave function or its particle-hole conjugate, while ruling out other candidates such as the 331 state.

description: Around 1000, a new type of law‐book emerged in Catalonia and northern Italy that attests to new ways of handling legal material. Incorporating in full the Visigothic and Lombard law codes, respectively, these law‐books provided a base for studying and interpreting old law through comments, glosses etc., addressing new users such as lay judges. By looking at the Catalonian Liber iudicum popularis and the north Italian Liber Papiensis in their manuscript contexts along with several revealing concomitant texts, the article seeks to demonstrate that these law‐books also need to be understood as reflecting a transformation of law brought about by the two regions’ former belonging to the Carolingian empire. A manuscript‐based approach can demonstrate how the local appropriation of pre‐Carolingian and Carolingian traditions contributed to the legitimization of post‐Carolingian rule in both regions, whose legal cultures evolved quite differently despite numerous parallels and points of comparison.

description: In this work, we report the excitation of inertial waves in a librating sphere even for libration frequencies where these waves are not directly forced. This spontaneous generation comes from the localized turbulence induced by the centrifugal instabilities in the Ekman boundary layer near the equator and does not depend on the libration frequency. We characterize the key features of these inertial waves in analogy with previous studies of the generation of internal waves in stratified flows from localized turbulent patterns. In particular, the temporal spectrum exhibits preferred values of excited frequency. This first-order phenomenon is generic to any rotating flow in the presence of localized turbulence and is fully relevant for planetary applications.

description: The reaction of AgBF4 and [Rh(COD)Cl]2 (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene) in presence of [NEt4][C5(CF3)5] afforded the fluorocarbon soluble complex [Rh(COD)(C5(CF3)5)] by salt metathesis. This complex represents the first example for a successful coordination of the weakly basic [C5(CF3)5]− ligand, since its first synthesis in 1980. In addition to [Rh(COD)(C5(CF3)5)] also the byproduct [Rh(COD)(C5(CF3)4H)] was isolated and fully characterized. Accompanying DFT studies showed that the interaction energy of the [C5(CF3)5]− ligand towards the 12-electron fragment [Rh(COD)]+ is ≈70 kcal mol−1 lower in comparison to [C5(CH3)5]− due to reduced electrostatic interactions and weaker π-donor properties of the ligand. The quantitative but reversible substitution of the [C5(CF3)5]− ligand by toluene, converting it into a weakly coordinating anion, experimentally proved the extraordinary weak bonding interaction.

description: The Lewis superacid bis(perchlorocatecholato)silane catalyzes C−O bond metathesis of alkyl ethers with an efficiency outperforming all earlier reported systems. Chemoselective ring contractions of macrocyclic crown ethers enable substrate‐specific transformations, and an unprecedented ring‐closing metathesis of polyethylene glycols allows polymer‐selective degradation. Quantum chemical computations scrutinize a high Lewis acidity paired with a simultaneous low propensity for polydentate substrate binding as critical for successful catalysis. Based on these mechanistic insights, a second‐generation class of silicon Lewis superacid with enhanced efficacy is identified and demonstrated.

description: We demonstrate, using $T=0$ first principles total energy calculations, that observed pressure-driven anomalies in the entire 122-pnictides family ($A$Fe$_2$As$_2$; $A$ = alkali earth element Ca, Sr, Ba) can be understood as consequences of Lifshitz transitions (LTs) \cite{Lifshitz60}. Our results for energy band dispersions and spectra, lattice parameters, enthalpies, magnetism, and elastic constants over a wide range of hydrostatic pressure provide a coherent understanding of multiple transitions in these compounds, namely, enthalpic, magnetic and tetragonal (T) - collapsed tetragonal (cT) transitions. In particular, the T-cT transition and anomalies in lattice parameters and elastic properties, observed at finite temperatures, are interpreted as arising from proximity to $T=0$ Lifshitz transitions, wherein pressure causes non-trivial changes in the Fermi surface topology in these materials.

description: Cryptochetidae
This small family of acalyptrate flies contains 34 predominantly tropical species, all but one belonging to the genus Cryptochetus Rondani, 1875 (Marshall 2012, Evenhuis & Pape 2020). There are no endemic Nearctic or Neotropical species. Rondani (1875b) described one Palaearctic species, considered as valid (Nartshuk 1984 a, Canzoneri et al. 1995) in his “ Stirps Agromyzinae ”. The family Cryptochetidae was proposed by Brues & Melander (1932). The type material has presumably been lost.

description: Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC’s (MVP) proposal to bore underneath 126 stream crossings has major technical
deficiencies and omissions. This lack of detail makes it impossible for regulatory agencies and the public to
complete a thorough evaluation of engineering processes and assure the feasibility of the approach. In this report, we outline the deficiencies in MVP’s dewatering analysis, geotechnical analysis, consideration of impacts to riparian and wetland zones, and consideration of impacts to endangered species. We recommend that MVP be required to submit a full environmental impacts analysis in the form of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement that describes their proposed trenchless crossing methods in greater detail.

description: We study the predictions of mirror symmetry for the 1-parameter family of Calabi-Yau 3-folds $\tilde{X}$ with hodge numbers $h^{11}=31,h^{21}=1$ constructed in \cite{BN}. We calculate the Picard-Fuchs differential equation associated to this family, and use it to predict the instanton numbers on the hypothetical mirror. These exhibit a strange vanishing in odd degrees. We also calculate the monodromy action on $H^3(\tilde{X},\QQ)$ and find that it strangely predicts a positive Euler characteristic for its mirror. From a degenerate fiber of our family we construct a new rigid Calabi-Yau 3-fold. In an appendix we prove the expansion of the conifold period conjectured in \cite{ES} to hold for all 1-parameter families.

This worldwide family of acalyptrate flies contains 4,139 species (Evenhuis & Pape 2020) being most speciose in the Hawaiian Islands where more than 600 species are known (N. Evenhuis, per. comm. June 2020). Rondani (1856, 1875d) described two Palaearctic nominal species, Drosophila uvarum Rondani, 1875, considered as a junior synonym, and Domomyza cincta Rondani, 1856, as a senior synonym (but suppressed by the I.C.Z.N.) (Bächli & Rocha Pité 1984, Spencer & Martinez 1987, I.C.Z.N., 1997, Deeming 1988, Bächli et al. 1995, Brake & Bächli 2008). In his paper on the Rondani types at MZUB, Morge (1959b) listed three unpublished names (nomina nuda) of Rondani. Deeming (1988) designated a lectotype for Domomyza cincta and Bächli (1982) designated a lectotype for Drosophila uvarum, both of them in the MZUF. The type material has been recovered for all nominal species and is distributed among the MZUF (two), OUMNH (two) and MZUB (one).

description: The Hydrologic Analysis of Sedimentation for the Jefferson National Forest Report of Findings (the Report), prepared by Geosyntec Consultants for Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (MVP), contains extensive flaws in its estimates of water quality impacts from runoff generated by MVP’s land disturbance activities. The United States Forest Service (USFS) Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (Draft SEIS) claims that it is unnecessary to model or monitor two important water quality indicators, total suspended solids and turbidity, because the Report uses “conservative” estimates of both sediment runoff and the efficiency of MVP’s erosion control practices. Our analysis disputes the claims that the model results are conservative and that they deem monitoring unnecessary. The Report ignores scientific literature indicating they have overestimated the effectiveness of their sediment control measures and does not use a meaningful water quality threshold to define an acceptable rate of sedimentation. They also employ models that are untested on steep slopes comprising a large portion of JNF, do not report uncertainty, and do not represent the finer time scale over which sensitive aquatic species respond. Monitoring is needed to account for these and other modeling limitations, and
to track sedimentation rates in the field. Our concern is validated by data from two paired US Geological Survey monitoring stations near the JNF study area, which show an average sediment load increase of 19.2% in the Roanoke River downstream from construction in contrast to the 2.1% predicted by MVP. Threatened and endangered species impacts cited in the 2018 4th Circuit Court ruling are not addressed in the Report or the Draft SEIS. Ultimately, our analysis indicates that the acceptance of the Report in the Draft SEIS should be reconsidered, and that a water quality monitoring plan will be necessary to protect the waterways in the Jefferson National Forest (JNF). Failure to do so threatens the aquatic habitats in JNF and puts sensitive and imperiled species at risk in direct contravention to the mission of the USFS.

This family of acalyptrate flies contains more than 2,000 species (Evenhuis & Pape 2020). Rondani (1847b, 1856, 1868b, 1869c) described four Palaearctic and one Neotropical nominal species. Three of these are currently considered as valid, one as a nomen dubium, and one (Gymnopa opaca Rondani, 1869) was not included in any recent catalog (Wirth 1968, Cogan 1984, Mathis et al., 1993, Mathis & Zatwarnicki 1995, Bächli et al. 1995, Stuke 2011). In his paper on the Rondani types at MZUB, Morge (1959b) listed two unpublished names (nomina nuda) of Rondani. Clausen (1979) designated a lectotype for Ochthera schembrii Rondani, 1847 and Mathis et al. (1993) designated a lectotype for Glabrinus murorum Rondani, 1856, both of them in the MZUF. Here, we designate a lectotype for Ephydra ciligena Rondani, 1868. The type material has been recovered for all nominal species and is distributed among the MZUF (five), MZUB (three) and OUMNH (one).

description: Background: While MR enterography allows detection of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the findings continue to be of limited use in guiding treatment-medication vs. surgery. Purpose: To test the feasibility of MR elastography of the gut in healthy volunteers and IBD patients. Study type: Prospective pilot. Population: Forty subjects (healthy volunteers: n = 20, 37 ± 14 years, 10 women; IBD patients: n = 20 (ulcerative colitis n = 9, Crohn's disease n = 11), 41 ± 15 years, 11 women). Field strength/sequence: Multifrequency MR elastography using a single-shot spin-echo echo planar imaging sequence at 1.5 T with drive frequencies of 40, 50, 60, and 70 Hz. Assessment: Maps of shear-wave speed (SWS, in m/s) and loss angle (φ, in rad), representing stiffness and solid-fluid behavior, respectively, were generated using tomoelastography data processing. Histopathological analysis of surgical specimens was used as reference standard in patients. Statistical tests: Unpaired t-test, one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey post hoc analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficient and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) with 95%-confidence interval (CI). Significance level of 5%. Results: MR elastography was feasible in all 40 subjects (100% technical success rate). SWS and φ were significantly increased in IBD by 21% and 20% (IBD: 1.45 ± 0.14 m/s and 0.78 ± 0.12 rad; healthy volunteers: 1.20 ± 0.14 m/s and 0.65 ± 0.06 rad), whereas no significant differences were found between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (P = 0.74 and 0.90, respectively). In a preliminary assessment, a high diagnostic accuracy in detecting IBD was suggested by an AUC of 0.90 (CI: 0.81-0.96) for SWS and 0.84 (CI: 0.71-0.95) for φ. Data conclusion: In this pilot study, our results demonstrated the feasibility of MR elastography of the gut and showed an excellent diagnostic performance in predicting IBD. Evidence level: 1 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 1.
