A taxonomic revision of the cleptoparasitic bee genus Epiclopus Spinola is presented. The following species are recognized: Epiclopus gayi Spinola, E. lendlianus (Friese), E. wagenknechti (Ruiz) and E. ecphorus new species from northern Chile. Floral associations, hosts, distribution records and diagnoses of both sexes based on type specimens, are given. An identification key, illustrations and an updated catalogue of the species are provided. In addition, a neotype for Mesonychium wagenknechti and lectotypes for Melissa (Epiclopus) gayi albescens Friese and M. lendliana are also designated.

We present a novel mitogenome assembly of the Redlip Shiner, , and assemblies for the Greenhead Shiner, (Cypriniformes: Leuciscidae). Both are charismatic minnows in the taxonomic group and are endemic to the eastern United States. The genome contains 16,711bp and 16,706bp each comprising a total of 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNAs, two rRNAs, and a control region.

Aim: This retrospective study explored the association between donor and recipient sex on hospital-onset sepsis (HO-sepsis) and Hb changes in critically ill patients receiving red blood cell (RBC) transfusions.
Methods: Data from 2010-2020 were extracted from an academic hospital's clinical database and a blood supplier's donor database.

Fatigue-induced incidents in transportation, aerospace, military, and other areas have been on the rise, posing a threat to human life and safety. The determination of fatigue states holds significant importance, especially through reliable and conveniently available physiological indicators. Here, a portable custom-built fNIRS system was used to monitor the fatigue state caused by nap deprivation.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether combining the analysis of different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs enhances the diagnostic accuracy of lateral meniscus posterior root tears (LMPRTs) in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. We hypothesised that analysing the cleft, ghost and truncated triangle signs and lateral meniscus extrusion (LME) measurement together would improve the preoperative MRI-based diagnosis of LMPRTs.
Methods: This retrospective study used prospectively collected registry data from two academic centres, including patients undergoing primary or revision ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and LMPRT repair.
