Fig. 9 & 15
Type. Male
Material examined. Holotype: TMOR –105 (pinned); TMOR –154; TMOR –155, South West Africa: Namibia, Rosh Pinah, 11.1970, (coll. J. Botha). All three male pinned specimens are housed at Ditsong National Museum of Natural History in Pretoria, South Africa (Museum ID numbers: TMOR –105, TMOR –154 and TMOR –155). 04.06.1974, ♂ (coll. A. P. H. Maritz); 07.1974, ♂ (coll. J. Botha). These two pinned specimens are stored at the ARC Plant Protection Research Institute in Pretoria, South Africa (Fig. 9 & 15).
Description. Large in size (mean body length = 49.41 mm) (Fig. 15). The integument of the head and thorax is rugulose and granulose.
Colour. The colouration in Fig. 9 & 15 is the result of the specimen aging. General colouration is a uniform green. The median carina of the pronotum is slightly yellow, and the posterior margin of the lateral lobe is whitish. There is a white spot on each transparent tegmina.
Head. Antennae are filiform with 18–20 segments. The fastigial furrow is faint and the pronotum profile is moderately arcuate, with slight depressions between the metazona and prozona areas.
Abdomen. The abdomen is smooth and robust. Relatively small granulose head, with a slightly convex face. The third abdominal tergum possesses 9–10 stridulatory ridges.
Thorax. The pronotum is divided by the longitudinal median carina with transverse wrinkled furrows (sulci).
Legs. Weak hind-legs, with the tibia slightly tuberculate, together with a long and narrow femur.
Genetalia. The supra-anal plate is narrow and angular, with the sub-genital plate being short and angular with an incised apex.
Wings. Elytra and wings exceed the end of the abdomen.

description: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a disease characterized by chronic relapsing-remitting inflammatory disorders and is associated with environmental changes. To explore the disease patterns of Chinese UC patients and to determine controllable related environmental factors. This multicentre cross-sectional study was performed using a questionnaire survey. Data on clinical characteristics and environmental factors were collected. Patients with a disease course ≥5 years were defined as the long course group, and those with a disease course < 5 years were defined as the short course group. A total of 588 effective questionnaires were collected. The proportion of the chronic continuous pattern was the highest among patients with a long disease course (46.8%), and in patients with a short disease course, the proportion of the active to remission pattern was the highest (53.3%). In patients with a long disease course, a higher proportion of patients with adequate sleep was found in the active to remission pattern than in the chronic intermittent (72.1% vs. 43.3%, p = 0.008) and chronic continuous (72.1% vs. 52.4%, p = 0.016) patterns. In patients with a short disease course, the frequency of shellfish and shrimp was higher in the chronic continuous pattern group than in the active to remission pattern group (P = 0.001 and 0.017 respectively). For early diagnosis patients, dietary guidance should be actively carried out. With the prolongation of the disease course, attention should be given to the sleep quality of patients. 1.UC exhibits various disease patterns, which may be associated with differences in patient prognosis and treatment response. 2.Environmental factors, especially sleep and dietary factors, correlated strongly with disease patterns, which varied in different disease courses. 3.Early diagnosis patients should receive active dietary guidance, while patients with a prolonged disease course require attention to their sleep quality and appropriate drug interventions when necessary.

description: The status of BRCA1/2 genes plays a crucial role in the treatment decision-making process for multiple cancer types. However, due to high costs and limited resources, a demand for BRCA1/2 genetic testing among patients is currently unmet. Notably, not all patients with BRCA1/2 mutations achieve favorable outcomes with poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi), indicating the necessity for risk stratification. In this study, we aimed to develop and validate a multimodal model for predicting BRCA1/2 gene status and prognosis with PARPi treatment. We included 1695 slides from 1417 patients with ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers across three independent cohorts. Using a self-attention mechanism, we constructed a multi-instance attention model (MIAM) to detect BRCA1/2 gene status from hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) pathological images. We further combined tissue features from the MIAM model, cell features, and clinical factors (the MIAM-C model) to predict BRCA1/2 mutations and progression-free survival (PFS) with PARPi therapy. Model performance was evaluated using area under the curve (AUC) and Kaplan-Meier analysis. Morphological features contributing to MIAM-C were analyzed for interpretability. Across the four cancer types, MIAM-C outperformed the deep learning-based MIAM in identifying the BRCA1/2 genotype. Interpretability analysis revealed that high-attention regions included high-grade tumors and lymphocytic infiltration, which correlated with BRCA1/2 mutations. Notably, high lymphocyte ratios appeared characteristic of BRCA1/2 mutations. Furthermore, MIAM-C predicted PARPi therapy response (log-rank p < 0.05) and served as an independent prognostic factor for patients with BRCA1/2-mutant ovarian cancer (p < 0.05, hazard ratio:0.4, 95% confidence interval: 0.16–0.99). The MIAM-C model accurately detected BRCA1/2 gene status and effectively stratified prognosis for patients with BRCA1/2 mutations.

description: Lean individuals with non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD) often have normal body size but abnormal visceral fat. Therefore, an alternative to body mass index should be considered for prediction of lean-NAFLD. This study aimed to use representative visceral fat links with other laboratory parameters using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method to construct a predictive model for lean-NAFLD. This retrospective cross-sectional analysis enrolled 2325 subjects with BMI < 24 kg/m2 from medical records of 51,271 examinees who underwent a routine health check-up. They were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts at a ratio of 1:1. The LASSO-derived prediction model used LASSO regression to select 23 clinical and laboratory factors. The discrimination and calibration abilities were evaluated using the Hosmer–Lemeshow test and calibration curves. The performance of the LASSO model was compared with the fatty liver index (FLI) model. The LASSO-derived model included four variables—visceral fat, triglyceride levels, HDL-C-C levels, and waist hip ratio—and demonstrated superior performance in predicting lean-NAFLD with high discriminatory ability (AUC, 0.8416; 95% CI: 0.811–0.872) that was comparable with the FLI model. Using a cut-off of 0.1484, moderate sensitivity (75.69%) and specificity (79.86%), as well as high negative predictive value (95.9%), were achieved in the LASSO model. In addition, with normal WC subgroup analysis, the LASSO model exhibits a trend of higher accuracy compared to FLI (cut-off 15.45). We developed a LASSO-derived predictive model with the potential for use as an alternative tool for predicting lean-NAFLD in clinical settings. Researchers developed a model to predict a type of liver disease called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in lean individuals.The model accurately detects NAFLD in lean individuals using factors like visceral fat, triglyceride levels, and waist-to-hip ratio, aiding in identifying the disease in normal-weight people with abnormal fat distribution Researchers developed a model to predict a type of liver disease called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in lean individuals.

description: 1.5 NEOARCTIDAE de Zio Grimaldi, D’Addabbo Gallo & Morone De Lucia, 1992 (emended by Bello & Grimaldi de Zio 1998).
Considered as subfamily Neoarctinae assigned to the family Stygarctidae by de Zio Grimaldi et al. (1992) was elevated to family level by Bello & Grimaldi de Zio (1998).
Arthrotardigrada with a complete set of cephalic cirri and three pairs of clavae. Body covered with five thin plates: A cephalic plate, a scapular plate (segmental plate I) which bears two long cirrophores with the primary clavae and cirri A, two other plates (segmental plates II and III), and the caudal plate (segmental plate IV). Median cirrus, internal and external cirri, with the secondary and tertiary clavae, located on the cephalic plate. Stylet supports absent. Legs non digitate, lacking true telescopy. Three claws on all legs attached to the tarsus with a dorsal basal membrane. Claws of different length: two longer, on the middle of the tarsus, and a short lateral one. A very short and thin dorsal bristle32 on the two medial claws. Sense organs on every leg. Cirrus E with a coarse accordion-shaped articulation.

description: At the beginning of December 2022, the Chinese government made major adjustments to the epidemic prevention and control measures. The epidemic infection data and laboratory makers for infected patients based on this period may help with the management and prognostication of COVID-19 patients. The COVID-19 patients hospitalized during December 2022 were enrolled. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen significant factors associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19. Candidate variables were screened by LASSO and stepwise logistic regression methods and were used to construct logistic regression as the prognostic model. The performance of the models was evaluated by discrimination, calibration, and net benefit. 888 patients were eligible, consisting of 715 survivors and 173 all-cause deaths. Factors significantly associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients were: lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), albumin (ALB), procalcitonin (PCT), age, smoking history, malignancy history, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), lactate, vaccine status and urea. 335 of the 888 eligible patients were defined as ICU cases. Seven predictors, including neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, D-dimer, PCT, C-reactive protein, ALB, bicarbonate, and LDH, were finally selected to establish the prognostic model and generate a nomogram. The area under the curve of the receiver operating curve in the training and validation cohorts were respectively 0.842 and 0.853. In terms of calibration, predicted probabilities and observed proportions displayed high agreements. Decision curve analysis showed high clinical net benefit in the risk threshold of 0.10-0.85. A cutoff value of 81.220 was determined to predict the outcome of COVID-19 patients via this nomogram. The laboratory model established in this study showed high discrimination, calibration, and net benefit. It may be used for early identification of severe patients with COVID-19.

32. In the terminology of this key “dorsal bristle” = accessory point.
33. According to Hansen et al. (2012), these intersegmental ridges are prominent cuticular structures forming a ridge rather than a true plate, present between segmental and intersegmental plates.
plate with two pairs of lateral spikes, one pair of caudal spikes, and lateral margins continuous with furca-like caudal extensions. Complete set of cephalic sense organs. Leg IV with small ovoid papilla; all other legs lack sensory structures. Cirrus E with cirrophore. Female and male with ovoid gonopore papillae adjacent to terminal anal system. Female with latero-ventral projections containing seminal receptacles.
Type species: Renaudarctus psammocryptus Kristensen & Higgins, 1984
Remark: During the publication process of this paper a new genus and species, Nodarctus hallucis Fujimoto &Yamasaki, 2017, of Renaudarctidae have been described and, consequently, the diagnosis of the family has been emended. The genus Nodarctus can be easily distinguished from Renaudarctus in having leg IV with two digits, subdivided dorsal body plates without lateral processes, and a large single caudal spike (see Fujimoto & Yamasaki 2017).
