Rhagophthalmidae Olivier, 1907 (Coleoptera, Elateroidea): described genera and species, current problems, and prospects for the bioluminescent and paedomorphic beetle lineage.

Rhagophthalmidae are a small beetle family known from the eastern Palaearctic and Oriental realms. Rhagophthalmidae are closely related to railroad worms (Phengodidae) and fireflies (Lampyridae) with which they share highly modified paedomorphic females and the ability to emit light. Currently, Rhagophthalmidae include 66 species classified in the following 12 genera: Pic, 1921 (two spp.

Factors and perceptions associated with energy drink consumption among undergraduate students attending a rural university: a descriptive study.

This study examined the prevalence, patterns, and knowledge of Energy Drink (ED) consumption among undergraduate students. Participants included students (n = 373) attending a medium-sized rural university in Texas. Students were surveyed anonymously using convenience sampling and a cross-sectional design with 15 items structured questionnaire.

Projections of Atmospheric Nitrogen Deposition to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

Atmospheric deposition is among the largest pathways of nitrogen loading to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed (CBW). The interplay between future climate and emission changes in and around the CBW will likely shift the future nutrient deposition abundance and chemical regime (e.g.

Increased Clinical Specificity with Ultrasensitive Detection of Clostridioides difficile Toxins: Reduction of Overdiagnosis Compared to Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests.

infection (CDI) is one of the most common health care-associated infections, resulting in significant morbidity, mortality, and economic burden. Diagnosis of CDI relies on the assessment of clinical presentation and laboratory tests. We evaluated the clinical performance of ultrasensitive single-molecule counting technology for detection of toxins A and B.
