During a survey of saprophytic microfungi on decomposing woody, herbaceous debris and soil from different regions in Southern Europe, a wide range of interesting species of asexual ascomycetes were found. Phylogenetic analyses based on partial gene sequences of SSU, LSU and ITS proved that most of these fungi were related to and and to lesser extent to and . Four new monotypic orders with their respective families are proposed here, i.e. and . One new order and three families are introduced here to accommodate orphan taxa, viz. and . Furthermore, is validated. Based on morphology and phylogenetic affinities and are moved to the new genera and , respectively. is accommodated in the genus . Other novel genera include with the type species sp. nov., and comb. nov. previously accommodated in with sp. nov. as type species, and comb. nov. previously accommodated in ; typified by sp. nov., a fungus morphologically similar to but phylogenetically distant; typified by sp. nov., a meristematic fungus related to typified by sp. nov. to accommodate an isolate previously identified as typified with sp. nov., a foliicolous fungus related to and similar to , but distinguished by polyphialidic conidiogenous cells produced on setiform conidiophores. Other novel species proposed are and . To fix the application of some fungal names, lectotypes and/or epitypes are designated for and .

As the first group of tetrapods to achieve powered flight, pterosaurs first appeared in the Late Triassic. They proliferated globally, and by the Late Jurassic through the Cretaceous, the majority of these taxa belonged to the clade Monofenestrata (which includes the well-known Pterodactyloidea as its major subclade), typified by their single undivided fenestra anterior to the orbit. Here, a new taxon gen.

Objective: Pregnancy is often typified with a decrease in sleep quality, which for many women, progressively worsens across gestation and into the postpartum. A mechanism linking poor sleep with certain adverse pregnancy outcomes is dysregulation of the HPA axis resulting in atypically elevated cortisol production. While total cortisol output normally increases across pregnancy, the cortisol awakening response (CAR), a response to waking up, is influenced by factors such as stress and mood.

Among the complications of diabetes, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) frequently emerges, typified by the detrimental effects on renal function, manifesting through inflammation, dysregulated lipid metabolism, and harm to podocytes. Existing research underscores the significance of the soluble form of C-X-C chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) within the context of renal impairments. However, whether CXCL16 is involved in the pathogenesis of DKD remains elusive.

Article Synopsis
- Sepsis is a severe, life-threatening condition caused by infections that leads to systemic inflammation and immune dysfunction, highlighting the need for better understanding and treatments.
- Studies using animal models, particularly zebrafish, are crucial for exploring sepsis due to their unique advantages like transparency and genetic manipulability, which aid in high-throughput screening.
- The review focuses on how zebrafish can enhance our understanding of sepsis mechanisms, evaluate genetic impacts, and test new therapies, potentially influencing clinical approaches to managing the condition.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses autism spectrum disorder, focusing on the challenges faced in recognizing facial expressions due to occlusions like glasses or facial hair.
- It proposes a new system called the Improved DenseNet-based Residual Cross-Attention Transformer (IDenseNet-RCAformer) aimed at improving facial expression recognition for individuals with autism.
- The IDenseNet-RCAformer has shown impressive results, achieving an accuracy of 98.95% in identifying facial expressions despite partial occlusions, aided by advanced techniques for feature extraction and fusion.
