We describe two new species of from the Antillean dry forests, belonging to SalviasectionUrbania. These species' names honor two Latin American botanists who have advanced our understanding either of the Dominican flora or the mint family (Lamiaceae). is found in the Sierra Martín García.

- Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is a genetic eye condition often linked to high myopia, which can lead to serious retinal issues, making understanding myopic progression crucial for potential treatments.
- The study analyzed cases of CSNB associated with specific genetic variants in patients under 18 who had multiple eye measurements, using a mixed-effect model to track changes in myopia over time.
- Results showed that individuals with CSNB are significantly myopic from birth and continue to experience worsening myopia as they grow, suggesting they may benefit from treatments aimed at slowing down myopia progression.
Article Synopsis
- The case report discusses a 33-year-old female diagnosed with Acute Zonal Occult Outer Retinopathy (AZOOR) after extensive diagnostic evaluations ruled out other potential causes of her retinal issues.
- Treatment with oral prednisolone initially helped control the disease, but a relapse occurred after stopping the medication, leading to the addition of adalimumab for better disease management.
- The study highlights the diagnostic challenges of AZOOR and underscores the need for thorough evaluations and personalized treatment approaches due to the absence of standardized clinical trials in this area.*
Purpose: To investigate age-dependent wall to lumen ratio (WLR) reference values for healthy individuals in adaptive optics imaging (AO). WLR serves as an objective, dimensionless parameter for the evaluation of structural changes in vessels caused by conditions like arterial hypertension, diabetes or vascular stenosis.
Methods: 50 right eyes of healthy individuals were examined by adaptive optics imaging.
G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activation relies on conformational sampling, a nuanced but functionally key behavior well suited to elucidation by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In this issue of Structure, Thakur et al. demonstrate that judicious choice of experimental conditions for F NMR studies of a GPCR enables rationalization of functional and pharmacological behavior, leading to testable hypotheses correlating structure, dynamics, and function.
