Published: August 2012

The Afrotropical Oberthuerellinae are revised, and new dichotomous and multi-entry keys to the species of Oberthuerella, Tessmannella, and Xenocynips are provided. All previously described species in these genera are redescribed; descriptions are augmented by color images of the holotype for each species. The following 11 species are described as new: Oberthuerella cyclopia Buffington & van Noort; Oberthuerella eschara Buffington & van Noort; Oberthuerella kibalensis van Noort & Buffington; Oberthuerella pardolatus Buffington & van Noort; Oberthuerella sharkeyi Buffington & van Noort; Oberthuerella simba Buffington & van Noort; Tessmannella copelandi Buffington & van Noort; Tessmannella kiplingi Buffington & van Noort; Tessmannella roberti Buffington & van Noort; Xenocynips rhothion Buffington & van Noort; and Xenocynips ronquisti Buffington & van Noort. We provide identification keys to the genera and species occurring in the Afrotropical region. Online dichotomous and interactive Lucid keys to genera and species are available at http://www.waspweb.org/Cynipoidea/Keys/index.htm.

Daprodustat, a novel oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor is approved in the United States for the treatment of anemia due to chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adults receiving dialysis for at least 4 months. Pharmacodynamic dose-hemoglobin (Dose-Hgb) models were developed as daprodustat progressed through development. To support global phase III development, a dose-titration algorithm, guided by simulations from the initial Dose-Hgb model based on phase II clinical data, was implemented.

Bijvoet Centre for Biomolecular Research, Faculty of Science-Chemistry, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands.

The HADDOCK team participated in CAPRI rounds 47-55 as server, manual predictor, and scorers. Throughout these CAPRI rounds, we used a plethora of computational strategies to predict the structure of protein complexes. Of the 10 targets comprising 24 interfaces, we achieved acceptable or better models for 3 targets in the human category and 1 in the server category.

 Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is a surgical technique to treat spasticity, mainly in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). In this report, a unique case of a late arachnoid cyst, causing radiating pain in the left leg, is presented. This is relevant to clinicians managing the long-term follow-up of patients who underwent selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR).

Article Synopsis
  • The study utilized machine learning models to identify reliable diagnostic markers for eating disorders, major depressive disorder, and alcohol use disorder, targeting young adults aged 18-25.
  • The classification models showed high accuracy rates (AUC-ROC ranging from 0.80 to 0.92) even without considering body mass index and highlighted shared predictors like neuroticism and hopelessness.
  • Additionally, the models were moderately successful in predicting future symptoms related to eating disorders, depression, and alcohol use in a longitudinal sample of adolescents, indicating the potential for improved diagnosis and risk assessment in mental health.

Background: Bowel-preserving local resection of early rectal cancer is less successful if the tumor infiltrates the muscularis propria as opposed to submucosal infiltration only. Magnetic resonance imaging currently lacks the spatial resolution to provide a reliable estimation of the infiltration depth. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) has better resolution, but its interpretation is investigator dependent.
