Article Synopsis
  • The study describes numerous new species of fungi discovered across various environments, including leaf spots, dead insects, soil, and wood from diverse locations around the world.
  • The fungi were isolated from multiple substrates, such as decaying organic matter, living plants, and even specific habitats like semi-desert montane areas and mixed forests.
  • Morphological traits and genetic analysis through DNA barcoding confirm the classification and distinct characteristics of these fungal species.

Article Synopsis
  • * A case study of fetal junctional epidermolysis bullosa in a consanguineous couple highlights antenatal ultrasound signs like polyhydramnios and skin desquamation, suggesting the condition's presence.
  • * The study introduces a new ultrasound sign - marked perioral hipoecogenicity - which may aid in diagnosing the disease, while also emphasizing the challenges of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis.

During a pandemic, the three basic principles are. to prioritize medical resources, ensure patients' lockdown in order to avoid community transmission and prevent healthcare collapse, and keep the number of visits to an absolute minimum to avoid patient exposure and safeguard healthcare workers. Antenatal care must be maintained during a health crisis, regardless of the COVID-19 state of alert.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of prenatal ultrasound for detecting fetal skeletal dysplasias and to describe its role in orienting genetic studies.

Study Design: Observational study of pregnant women surveyed in our hospital, between 2011 and 2018, with fetal long bones below the 3rd centile (shortened long bones), either as an isolated finding or associated to other skeletal anomalies. We used a systematic protocol for the ultrasound evaluation and selection of those fetuses suspected of having a skeletal dysplasia.
