Year: 2022

description: Introduction. This study aimed to examine the trends in patient consultations for three major diseases (cancer, heart disease, and stroke) at Showa University Hospital, Japan during the state of emergency for the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Methods. The present study was a retrospective and descriptive study of Showa University Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. Subjects were patients who had received medical treatment at Showa University Hospital and were diagnosed from 2017 to 2020. To examine the impact of the state of emergency, the number visits to hospital by the top three causes of death or other diseases were summarised from 21 weeks of data, from week 8 to week 28, for each year. Results. Compared to the average of the previous 3 years, a comparison of the three periods before and after the state of emergency showed a V-shaped curve in 2020, with a large drop in the number of cancer patients during the state of emergency, both from within Tokyo and from outside the city. Conclusions. This study showed a long-term decrease in cancer patient visits to Showa University Hospital since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the previous 3 years. It is also possible that medical care that would have been available may not have been provided due to the state of emergency, so it is necessary to follow up patients while keeping a close eye on measures other than infectious diseases.

description: Introduction: Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) causes the human immunodeficiency infection which is a major global health problem. Oral health status of people infected by HIV is also compromised. There is limited literature on oral health status of HIV/AIDS transgenders in Odisha. Aim: This study was conducted to assess the oral health status of HIV‑positive transgenders. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the HIV positive transgenders in Odisha. Snowball sampling technique was employed to reach the population. Oral health was recorded using modified WHO 2013 proforma. Clinical examination using disposable mouth mirror and explorer. Chi square statistics was used for finding the association between the socio-demographic variables and DMFT, CPI, and LOA scores. Results: The study included 153 participants out of which seventy participants belonged to the age group 18-30 years. Majority of the participants were unemployed and most of them had spent around 6-10 years in school. Majority of the participants used toothbrush for cleaning their teeth and the average duration of cleaning tooth was less than two minutes. Toothpick was the most common method used for cleaning interdental areas and none of the participants used dental floss or interdental brushes. The mean DMFT score which was recorded to be 1.424. Around 28.10% (43) inmates had pockets of depth 4mm to 5mm. Loss of attachment of 6mm to 8mm was found in majority (57, 37.25%) of the participants. Most of the participants did not require any prosthesis both in the upper and lower arches. Around 32 participants (20.91%) had very mild fluorosis, 29 participants (18.95%) exhibited signs of moderate fluorosis. Age was found to be significantly associated with loss of attachment score (p = 0.023). Occupation had an association with the DMFT score (p =0.002) while years in school was found to be significantly associated with CPI score (p=0.045). Conclusion: The oral health status of transgenders is poor and needs immediate attention.

description: Objective: The purpose of the study was to ascertain Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQOL) and evaluate oral hygiene practices in patients visiting a dental institution during COVID time. Material & Methods: Face-to face interviews were conducted using a semi-structured close-ended questionnaire, assessing oral hygiene practices and self-reported oral problems perceived in last 6 months, using both Hindi and English version of Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) Questionnaire. Frequency distribution of oral hygiene practices were obtained and Descriptive statistics computed the scores of OHIP-14. Kruskal-wallis test and Independent t-test were used to compare the association of OHIP-14 with demographic variables. Multiple linear regression analysis was utilized to compute the association of OHIP-14 with independent variables, age and gender. Results: Subjective evaluation of OHRQOL (Oral Health Related Quality of Life) using OHIP-14 Porforma resulted in high score for physical pain and psychological discomfort but subjects expressed less discomfort in relation to functional limitation, physical disability, psychological discomfort, social disability and handicap domains of OHIP-14. With progressive increase in age OHRQOL worsened. Females had poor OHRQOL, with significant difference as compared to males. Gender and marital status observed variance in OHIP-14 with statistically significant difference (P<0.000). More than two-third subjects preferred cleaning their teeth using toothbrush and toothpaste. Therefore, COVID-19 consequently impacted OHRQOL of the general population.

description: Genus Neomida Latreille, 1829
Notes. The specimen considered here was assigned to the subfamily Diaperinae and subtribe Diaperini within Tenebrionidae on the basis of the following combination of morphological characters: tarsal formula 5-5-4; head armed between eyes (Figs 1B, 2F, 3B); base of antennomere 1 dorsally covered by lateral extension of gena (Fig. 2B); antennae gradually widened and clubbed, with slightly asymmetrical antennomeres 5–11 (Fig. 3A); mouthparts tenebrioid, open (Figs 2B,E); mentum with median elevation (Figs 2B,E); labro-epistomal membrane exposed; procoxal cavities externally closed, with ventrally convex prosternal process (Fig. 3C); mesocoxal cavities partly closed by mesoventrite, mesepimeron and metaventrite; mesotrochantine present (Fig. 3C); each elytron with nine striae and short striole (Figs 2 A–G); legs not fossorial; abdominal membranes between ventrites 3–5 exposed (supporting presence of defensive glands) (Fig. 2E); and apical piece of aedeagus without ventral alae (Fig. 4A).
The genus Neomida has a diverse combination of characters, and sometimes can be confused with Platydema Laporte et Brullé, 1831. This is because some Neotropical and Oriental Platydema, such as Platydema orientaloides (Grimm 2016), also have a subcylindrical body and subparallel elytra as in Neomida (Grimm 2016). However, the new fossil species (male) distinctly belongs to Neomida based on the presence of very small paired marginal epistomal tubercles (Figs 3A,B), and the structure of the prosternal process, which is not beaded but convex and sharply declivitous immediately posterior to the procoxae, with the apex of the prosternal process bearing a tubercle at the level of the basal part of the procoxae (Fig. 3C). Platydema has a prosternal process that is beaded, and “prominent, prolonged caudally horizontal or deflected behind” procoxae according to Triplehorn (1965). In addition, the new fossil species has fovea intercoxal process of mesoventrite (Fig. 3C), which is also found in at least two Palaearctic Neomida.
Usually, species of Neomida have epipleura that are abruptly abbreviated at or near the last abdominal suture (between ventrites 4 and 5), while epipleura in Platydema are extending or almost extending the elytral apex. The new Eocene species has epipleura similar to those in Platydema (Fig. 2B,E), but at least two extant Neotropical Neomida species also have the same epipleural structure (Triplehorn 1965).

description: Introduction: Foodborne Zoonotic Trematode Infections (FZTi) are neglected tropical diseases of public health concern in Vietnam. The transmission of FZTi is linked to human behavior patterns. The aim was to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding FZTi among local people. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a mixed method, which included a baseline survey and in-depth interviews. 375 participants were interviewed face-to-face in the survey, and 27 participants had the in-depth interviews. Results: The results showed that 36.3% passed the knowledge assessment, 86.7% passed the attitude assessment, and 24% passed the practical assessment. There were differences in average knowledge scores among gender (men higher than women, p=0.006), ethnicities (Kinh higher than Dao and Tay, p<0.001), and educational level (higher education, higher knowledge score, p<0.001). There were differences in the frequency of eating raw fish between men and women (men higher than women, p<0.001) with the average practice score between men and women (women higher than men, p=0.028). Eating raw fish and/or undercooked fish, raw vegetables, and drinking untreated water from Thac Ba lake in Yen Bai province were identified as FZTi risk behaviors. The occurrence of these risky habits can be explained by the lack of knowledge on FZTi, poor economic conditions and typical social features of local people. Conclusion: The current knowledge of local people in regard to safe eating practices is poor. They still perform unsafe practices, which lead to infection with FZTi; therefore, an integrated control of FZTi is essential.

description: Background: The advent of an effective novel COVID-19 vaccine could extinguish the current devastating pandemic but the vaccine hesitancy is a hurdle for the public health system. Objective: This study estimated the COVID-19 vaccination intention and the determinants among the healthcare workers, the priority target group for the COVID-19 vaccine in India. Design: A web-based cross-sectional survey design was used in this study. Setting and participants: The study was conducted among the healthcare workers in Chandigarh, a union territory in North India, using a Snowball sampling technique. A total of 403 healthcare workers participated in the study between 2nd and 25th January 2021. Methods: The primary data collected were the intention to get vaccinated against the available COVID-19 vaccine and the concerns regarding the new vaccines. The attitude towards the novel COVID-19 vaccine was assessed using the developed Vaccine attitude examination scale. These questionnaires, which were delivered via WhatsApp, was filled by the participants over Google forms. Results: Among the 403 respondents surveyed, the majority (54.6%) reported they were definitely intended to get vaccinated against COVID-19, however, 7% expressed a resistance for inoculation with COVID-19 vaccination. The perceived susceptibility (aOR=0.511, CI 0.265-0.987) and severity of COVID-19 infection (aOR=0.551 CI 0.196-0.704) and not being concerned about the efficacy of new COVID-19 vaccines (aOR= 0.702 CI 1.109-26.55) were found to have the highest significant odds of intention to take the COVID-19 vaccine. The majority (62%) were concerned about the safety of the vaccine, in terms of side-effects, quality control, and doubted efficacy of the vaccine. The mistrust of the benefits of the vaccine is a significant predictor for vaccine hesitancy among the healthcare workers (aOR=5.205 CI 3.106-8.723). Conclusion: Therefore, strategic communication and vaccine-acceptance programs should be formulated in order to combat the prevailing mistrust on the vaccine safety and efficacy and attain effective coverage to gain herd immunity.

description: Introduction Young adults are at the epicenter for preventing the progression of COVID-19 pandemic and must be targeted for education to impede any potential transmission of the disease. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, practice and behaviors of Lebanese university students regarding COVID-19. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out among university students at the Lebanese University between March 30, 2020, and April 4, 2020. Information on socio-demographic data, knowledge, practice, and additional information concerning COVID-19 were collected. Results Our survey showed that the majority of the students had good knowledge 90.8%, and more than two third of the respondents 78.6% reported good practice regarding COVID -19. Graduate students were more knowledgeable compared to undergraduate students (unstandardized beta 0.349 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.165 to 0.533; P- value<0.0001). Moreover, male students had a negative impact on good practice compared to females (unstandardized beta -0.280 with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of -0.402 to -0.159; P- value <0.0001). Nearly half of the students (55.2%) reported that their food intake has increased, and 82.5% of the students didn’t practice sport during the quarantine. The most common information source of the students was the television (63.3%) followed by social media (53.9%). Conclusions This study offers useful insights into the knowledge and practices of Lebanese university students towards COVID-19. Our findings support the importance to deliver health education campaign by the ministry of public health through television and social media to improve the knowledge on disease transmission and preventive measures.

description: Introduction Vaccine vigilance implies the collection, evaluation, analysis and communication of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) and is a useful tool for vaccine monitoring allowing, even after approval and marketing, to check its safety/tolerability. The multiregional project "Active surveillance of adverse vaccine reactions", joined by the AUSL of Ferrara, is aimed at making parents of children, who have undergone at least one vaccination provided by the regional vaccination calendar in the first 24 months of life, aware of the reporting of any AEFI via mobile phone-SMS. Methods An analysis of the project data, collected in the period March 2018 - May 2019, was carried out, to evaluate the effectiveness of the reporting tool and the type and frequency of AEFI. Anonymized data were analyzed by number, gender, distribution by age, type of vaccine, adverse event, severity and outcome. Results A total of 1494 consents and 983 SMS messages were obtained from parents. The vaccine doses carried out were 1,984 (28.3% hexavalent, 28% PCV13, 17% anti-rotavirus, 14.3% Men-B). Almost all (99.5%) AEFI were classified as "not serious". Based on the Organ System Class (SOC), most reports are related to "General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions" (52.3%), followed by "Psychiatric Disorders" (26.5%) and "Metabolic and nutrition disorders" (12.5%). Conclusions The reported AEFI are in line with the ones reported in the literature. Reporting via SMS is a valid vaccine surveillance tool contributing to the qualitative and quantitative improvement of the information transmitted.

description: Introduction: Chlorhexidine is considered the most potent chemotherapeutic agent against Streptococcus mutans. However, its side effects due to prolonged use, indicates need for alternatives. The study intended to assess and compare antimicrobial efficacies of probiotic, xylitol and chlorhexidine mouth rinses in children and elderly. Methods: The study was a Double blind Randomized Controlled Trial conducted among residential school children aged 5- 12 years and elderly greater than 60 years residing in old age homes. (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04399161). 30 participants each among children and elderly were chosen based on eligibility criterion (high risk for caries). They were further randomly divided into 3 groups with 10 participants in each group. Participants were asked to rinse with 15 ml of freshly prepared mouth rinses once daily for 2 minutes for 14 days. Antimicrobial efficacy was determined by assessing change in Streptococcus mutans levels in dental plaque. Results: Significant reduction in Streptococcus mutans counts were observed in both children and elderly (Chlorhexidine: mean difference=3.11 log10CFU/g, p=0.022, Xylitol: mean difference=0.93 log10CFU/g, p=0.046, Probiotic: mean difference=1.91 log10CFU/g, p=0.023 in children); (Chlorhexidine: mean difference=2.23 log10CFU/g, p=0.004, Xylitol: mean difference=1.39 log10CFU/g, p=0.009, Probiotic: mean difference=1.61 log10CFU/g, p=0.018 in elderly). Intergroup comparison showed no significant difference. Conclusions: Antimicrobial efficacy of xylitol and probiotic mouth rinses were comparable to that of chlorhexidine in both children and elderly. Probiotics could potentially be more efficacious than xylitol among children.

description: Background: Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of the degree of heterogeneity of erythrocyte volume. Higher RDW levels are associated with increased mortality among patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. The association between RDW levels and clinical outcomes in patients admitted for further evaluation of chest pain is not known. Methods: A retrospective analysis of patients hospitalised with chest pain 2010–2016 was conducted. Patients diagnosed with ACS in the emergency department (ED) were excluded. Patients were divided into tertiles according to baseline ED RDW levels (≤13.1%, 13.1%13.9%). Study endpoints were diagnosis of ACS during the index hospitalisation and ACS and all-cause mortality during a median follow-up of 3.3 ± 1.9 years. Results: Included were 13,018 patients (mean age 58 ± 13 years, 61% male). Increased RDW levels were associated with higher rates of ACS in the index hospitalisation (6.1%, 6.6% and 8.1% for 1st, 2nd and 3rd tertiles, respectively, p < .01), ACS during follow-up (8.6%, 10.1% and 13.4%, respectively, p < .01), and with all-cause mortality during follow-up (2.5%, 4.6% and 15.4%, respectively, p < .01). In multivariate analysis, RDW levels >13.9% (vs. ≤13.1%) were associated with ACS in the index hospitalisation (adjusted OR 1.25, 95% CI 1.04–1.51, p = .02), ACS during follow-up (adjusted OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.05–1.73, p = .02) and with all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 2.41, 95% CI 1.94–2.99, p < .01). Conclusion: In this retrospective study of patients hospitalised with chest pain, higher RDW levels were associated with future ACS and long-term mortality.

description: Introduction: Sitting and standing workstations can affect individual's health outcomes differently. This study aimed to assess the effects of sit and stand workstations on energy expenditure and some blood parameters, musculoskeletal symptom/pain and discomfort, fatigue, and productivity among workers of assembly line of a belt factory. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 47 male assembly line workers (24 workers in sitting workstation and 23 workers in standing workstation) with at least one year of working experience. Data were gathered via demographic/occupational characteristics, Fitbit system, medical records, Persian version of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (P-NMQ), Persian version of the Numeric Rating Scale (P-NRS), Persian version of the Swedish Occupational Fatigue (P-SOFI), and Persian version of the Health and Work Questionnaire (P-HWQ). Results: The findings of the present study revealed that the energy expenditure, blood glucose/triglyceride there are not statistically differences between in sitting and standing groups. In addition, the prevalence of the MSs in the neck, lower back, knees, and ankles/feet in standing group was significantly higher than the sitting group. Generally, occupational fatigue was higher among the standing group compared to sitting group. About productivity, the ‘concentration/focus’ and ‘impatience/irritability’ subscales in sitting group were higher than the standing group. Contrariwise, other subscales of the productivity, including ‘productivity’, ‘supervisor relations’, ‘non-work satisfaction’, ‘work satisfaction’ in the standing group were higher than the sitting group. Conclusions: To reduce the adverse effects of sitting and standing workstations on individual's health outcomes, planning to use sit-stand workstations is recommended.

description: Introduction Since 2012, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) promotes a point prevalence survey (PPS) of HAIs in European acute care hospitals. Through a retrospective analysis of 2012, 2015 and 2017 PPS of HAIs performed in a tertiary academic hospital in Italy, we developed a model to predict the risk of HAI. Methods Following ECDC protocol we surveyed 1382 patients across three years. Bivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the relationship between HAI and several variables. Those statistically significant were included in a stepwise multiple regression model. The goodness of fit of the latter model was assessed with the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, ultimately constructing a probability curve to estimate the risk of developing HAIs. Results Three variables resulted statistically significant in the stepwise logistic regression model: length of stay (OR 1.03; 95% C.I.: 1.02-1.05), devices breaking the skin (i.e. peripheral or central vascular catheter, OR 4.38; 95% C.I.: 1.52-12.63), urinary catheter (OR 4.71; 95% C.I.: 2.78-7.98). Conclusion PPSs are a convenient and reliable source of data to develop HAIs prediction models. The differences found between our results and previously published studies suggest the need of developing hospital-specific databases and predictive models for HAIs.

description: Background: Recent studies suggested that chronic total occlusion of the coronary artery increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia (VA) and all-cause mortality in ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patient who underwent implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) implantation. We aim to demonstrate an association between a presence of CTO and poor cardiovascular outcome in ICD implanted ICM patients. Objective: To examine the association between the presence of CTO and all-cause mortality in ICM with ICD implantation Methods: We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to February 2018. The studies that reported appropriated shock and all-cause mortality in ICD implanted ICM patients, compared between patients with and without CTO of the coronary artery, were included for meta-analysis. Results: Five studies from 2015 to 2018 were included in this meta-analysis involving 1,095 subjects (505 CTO and 590 non-CTO). The presence of CTO was associated with increased incidence of VA (pooled risk ratio = 1.75, 95% confidence interval: 1.10-2.77, p = 0.01) and all-cause mortality (pooled risk ratio = 1.63, 95% confidence interval: 1.10-2.41, p = 0.001) in ICD implanted ICM patients. Conclusions: Presence of CTO of the coronary artery increased risk of VA and all-cause mortality in ICD implanted ICM patients up to 75% and 63%, respectively. Our study suggested that CTO is an independent predictor of unfavourable outcome and revascularised option should be considered in ICM patients with ICD.

description: Background: Heart failure (HF) imposes a burden for patients and health economics. General practitioners (GPs) are confronted with the broadest range of HF management. Although guidelines exist, they are not fully implemented in the Belgian health care system. Methods: We will conduct a non-randomised, non-controlled prospective observational trial (six months follow-up) to implement a multifaceted intervention in Belgian general practice to support GPs in the implementation of evidence-based HF guidelines. The multifaceted intervention consists of an audit and feedback method to detect previously unrecognised patients with HF and to increase awareness for proactive HF management, an NT-proBNP point-of-care test to improve detection and adequate diagnosis of patients with HF and a specialist HF nurse to assist GPs in the education of patients, optimisation of treatment and follow-up after hospitalisation. All patients aged 40 years and older with a confirmed diagnosis of HF by their GP based on the clinical audit are eligible for participation. The main objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of this multifaceted intervention and the evolution of predefined quality indicators. We will measure the impact on HF diagnosis, medication optimisation, multidisciplinary follow-up and patients’ quality of life after six months. Additionally, the experiences of GPs and investigators will be studied. Conclusions: Heart failure is an important health problem in which GPs play a key role. Therefore, we will evaluate the feasibility of a multifaceted intervention to optimise diagnosis as well as implement the guideline recommended therapies in patients with HF in general practice.

description: Introduction. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is an infection that may lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Most patients with HCV infection are asymptomatic. The previous study conducted in age group of 30-64 years and in two provinces. Additionally, most surveillance studies conducted in a point period; not longitudinally. This study aimed to evaluate HCV infection rate in all age groups in the northeastern, Thailand in a longitudinal fashion. Methods. This was a surveillance study conducted in 20 provinces of northeastern, Thailand. The study period was between July 2010 and November 2019. During the surveillance, demographic data of participants were collected. HCV screening test was performed in each participant by using a rapid point-of-care assay. Rates of HCV infection in each province and in overall were calculated. Results. During the surveillance period, there were 31,855 subjects who participated the project. Of those, 1,285 subjects (4.037%) were tested positive for HCV infection (Table 1). The HBV infection rate was highest in 2011 (8.98%): ranges 1.28 to 9.59%. The age group of over 50 years had 690 subjects with HCV infection (5.45%) out of 12,660 subjected tested in this age group. There was significant different among age groups (p < 0.001) and difference of age over 30 years and sex (p 0.043). Conclusions: This longitudinal surveillance showed that HCV infection rates in northeastern, Thailand were varied across the provinces with the highest rate of 9.59%. The HCV infection should be aware in male with age over 30 years.

description: Podocinella Evans & Hyatt, 1958: 926
Type species — Podocinum plumosa Evans & Hyatt, 1958, by original designation.
Gnathosoma — Anterior region of epistome with three distal extensions, spiculate or not. Hypostome with h 2 much shorter than h 1, h 3 and pc. Deutosternum delimited by lateral lines P. (misella) or not visible (P. plumosa), usually with smooth anteriormost transverse line followed by five (P. plumosa) or six (P. misella) rows of 12–23 denticles each. Palp tarsal apotele 3-tined. Cheliceral digits similar in length; fixed and movable digits with 5–6 and two teeth, respectively. Idiosomal dorsum. Podonotal and opisthonotal shields fused, covered with small protuberances aligned to constitute a polygonal network (not discernible P in. meghalayaensis Bhattacharyya), with or without lateral notch between Z 1 and Z 3. Dorsal shield with 17–23 pairs of setae (11 in the illustration of P. meghalayaensis; a few setae not discernible, according to Bhattacharyya, 1994), without supernumerary setae; seta j 1 usually present (absent in P. alstoni Evans & Hyatt and P. plumosa). Soft lateral cuticle of idiosoma without setae. Dorsal setae serrate (also referred to as ciliate, plumose or pilose by various authors), stout or slender. Idiosomal venter. Sternal shield with three pairs of setae of similar lengths st (1– st 3); seta st 4 inserted on metasternal plate (apparently on soft cuticle in P. misella); lyrifissures (iv 1– iv 3) indistinct. Genital shield bearing st 5, posteriorly truncate to slightly convex. Pore gv 2 (P. misella) on unsclerotised cuticle. Without metapodal plates. Ventrianal shield with three or four pairs of setae in addition to circumanal setae; para-anal and post-anal setae similar in length. soft opisthogastric cuticle with 0–3 pairs of setae.
Peritreme and peritrematic plate — Peritreme about as wide as stigma, usually extending forward beyond level of j 1.
Spermathecal apparatus — Indistinct.
Legs — Leg I much longer than legs II-IV, antenna-like, terminating in a whip-like seta, without pretarsi. Legs II–IV with median section of pulvilli rounded, paradactyli elongate and acuminate.
Male — Unknown.
Remarks — The indistinct sperm access system in Podocinella and the apparent absence of males in this genus lead to the assumption that species of this genus could reproduce by thelytoky. This type of parthenogenesis has been proven by Wong (1967) for Podocinum pacificum.

description: Genus Leptogorgia Milne Edwards & Haime, 1857
Synonymy. See Grasshoff, 1992: 54; Williams, 1992: 231; and Williams & Lindo, 1997: 500.
Type species. Gorgonia viminalis Pallas, 1766, by subsequent designation: Verrill, 1869: 420; Mediterranean Sea.
Diagnosis. Gorgoniids with variable branching patterns: pinnate, dichotomous, or filiform. Branch anastomosis absent; although occasionally present in two species, L. gilchristi (Hickson, 1904) and L. bayeri Williams & Lindo, 1997. Axis horny, with a crosschambered central core containing a network of organic filaments frequently mineralized. Colonies with a simple or complex spreading holdfast, or without a holdfast and lying free on the sea floor. Coenenchymal sclerites are radiates and/or spindles, some with bent ends, with symmetrically or asymmetrically warty tuberculation. In some species, warts are fused into incomplete disks. Anthocodial sclerites usually flat rods and platelets. Colour variable: white, yellow, orange, red, violet, or brownish, and bicoloured (based on Williams 1992; Williams & Lindo 1997; Grasshoff 1988; Williams & Vennam 2001; Bayer & Macintyre 2001).
Distribution. Eastern Pacific (from southern California to Chile); western and southern Africa; western America; Caribbean Sea; Mediterranean Sea; south west Indian Ocean; and one subAntarctic species (Verrill 1868, 1870; Grasshoff 1988, 1992, 1997; Williams & Lindo 1997).
Remarks. The taxonomic status of the Indian Ocean species of the genus Leptogorgia was thoroughly discussed by Williams and Lindo (1997), and Williams and Vennam (2001). Williams and Vennam (2001) decided to transfer these species of Leptogorgia to the genus Pseudopterogorgia Kükenthal, 1919 mainly based on the occurrence of scaphoid­like sclerites in the coenenchyme; consequently the distribution of Leptogorgia in the Indian Ocean could be invalid. However, more taxonomic research is needed before a zoogeographical pattern can be established.

description: The result of the United Kingdom European Union membership referendum (henceforth the Brexit referendum) was historic as it signified the beginning of the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. During the referendum campaign, newspapers played a key role in disseminating information and potentially influencing what topics were deemed more important in the public eye. This paper examines the portrayal of both the economy and immigration in the press before and during the Brexit referendum. Used as a data source for this examination is the Daily Mail, one of the most widely distributed newspapers in the United Kingdom both in print and online. The author undertook a media content analysis on over 40 articles published by the Daily Mail between April 2016 and June 2016 to discern patterns in coverage. This study seeks to offer insights as to how the topic of immigration surpassed that of economics as the most salient topic during the referendum due to agenda setting and media framing by the likes of the Daily Mail. While this paper speculates that these measures may have affected the outcome of the referendum, further data and investigation would be required to warrant such a conclusion.
