AI Article Synopsis
- The taxonomy of the Batsch genus, a part of the Turridae family found in tropical Indo-Pacific waters, has been thoroughly updated, recognizing a total of 31 valid species.
- Several new species have been identified, and a previously named species has been renamed to avoid confusion with an earlier classification.
- The study also highlights various synonymies, clarifies the status of certain species, designates a neotype to help with identification, and transfers one species to a different genus within the Clavatulidae family.
Article Abstract
The taxonomy of the genus Batsch, 1789, type genus of the family Turridae, widespread in shallow-water habitats of tropic Indo-Pacific, is revised. A total of 31 species of , are here recognized as valid. New species described: , , , . Homonym renamed: for Kiener, 1839 ( Philippi, 1836). New synonymies: Bozzetti, 2006 = Kilburn, 1975; Röding, 1798, and Olivera, Seronay & Fedosov, 2010 = Olivera, 2000 = Lamarck, 1816; Turris Olivera, 2000 = Vera-Peláez, Vega-Luz & Lozano-Francisco, 2000; Vera-Peláez, Vega-Luz & Lozano-Francisco, 2000 = Olivera, 2000; Vera-Peláez, Vega-Luz & Lozano-Francisco, 2000 = Olivera, 2000. Revised status: Powell, 1964, Pleurotoma variegata Kiener, 1839 (non Philippi, 1836) and Pleurotoma yeddoensis Jousseaume, 1883, are regarded as full species (not subspecies of . Neotype designated: For Reeve, 1843, to distinguish it from of recent authors, type locality emended to Zanzibar. New combination: Kilburn, 1983, is transferred to genus family Clavatulidae.

Background: Malaria is a major global public health issue with varying epidemiologies across countries. In Colombia, it is a priority endemic-epidemic event included in the national public health policy. However, evidence demonstrating nationwide variations in the disease behavior is limited.

Introduction: Despite strong evidence for the efficacy of low-radiation dose CT (LDCT) in reducing lung cancer (LC) mortality, implementing LC screening (LCS) programmes remains a challenge. We aim to systematically review the evidence on the strategies used to recruit the adult population at risk of LC to LDCT within LCS programmes and to estimate the effectiveness of interventions identified, used to reach the potentially eligible population, increase participation and informed choice, and ensure equitable access.
Methods And Analysis: This sequential systematic literature review will consist of three steps: (1) a scoping review of existing strategies and organisational models for LCS; (2) selecting papers reporting relevant outcomes (test coverage, screening participation and informed choice) and comparing results among different models; (3) a systematic review of interventions implemented to increase participation in LCS programmes.
Epidemiological evolution and historical anti-malarial control initiatives in Colombia, 1848-2019.

Staff and Health SAS, Bogotá, D.C., Colombia.
The evolution of epidemiological transmission and the control measures implemented in Colombia have been the result of complex global and regional economic and political processes that occurred at different historical moments, since the dawn of the country's republican life. The development of economic activities for the production, exploitation and export of agricultural products, minerals and raw materials demanded in the international market, favored the necessary conditions for the emergence, expansion, resurgence and persistence of the endemic epidemic of malaria in the different stages studied. A common and fundamental element in the different defined historical moments was the importance given to malaria as an economic problem due to the negative externalities it imposed on the labor force.

Natural products such as conotoxins have tremendous potential as tools for biomedical research and for the treatment of different human diseases. Conotoxins are peptides present in the venoms of predatory cone snails that have a rich diversity of pharmacological functions. One of the major bottlenecks in natural products research is the rapid identification and evaluation of bioactive molecules.

The C9 alkylbenzenes, composed mostly of ethyltoluenes and trimethylbenzenes, comprise 75-90% of the naphtha fraction of crude oil. Occupational and environmental exposure to C9 alkylbenzenes occur via inhalation. We conducted short-term inhalation studies on the ethyltoluene isomers (2-, 3- or 4-) to select one isomer for more comprehensive studies.
