The Xiphydria annulitibia group is defined to include the following five species from northeastern Asia: X. annulitibia Takeuchi, 1936, from Japan (Hokkaido, Kunashiri Is., Honshu, Shikoku), Korea and Russia (Sakhalin, Primorskij kraj), X. kanba n. sp. from Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu), X. kastsheevi Ermolenko, 1979, from Russia (Primorskij Kraj), X. konishii n. sp. from Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu) and X. melanoptera n. sp. from Japan (Hokkaido). Xiphydria annulitibia is redescribed based on a long series of specimens, including the holotype. Three new species, X. kanba, X. konishii and X. melanoptera, are described and illustrated, and a key is provided for the five species. Xiphydria kastsheevi is excluded from the fauna of Japan. For X. kanba, notes on a rare successful case of branch trapping which yielded 87 adult specimens and observations on the adult emergence from a dead branch and peculiar drumming behavior of the male are given.

The challenge of effectively eliminating air during gastrointestinal endoscopy using ultrasound techniques is apparent. This difficulty arises from the intricacies of removing concealed air within the folds of the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in artifacts and compromised visualization. In addition, the overlap of folds with lesions can obscure their depth and size, presenting challenges for an accurate assessment.

We investigated the association between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) and arterial stiffness and distensibility in the aneurysmal sac of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Data from 49 patients with AAA from June 2020 to November 2022 at Tokyo Medical University Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Brachial-ankle PWV (cm/s) was obtained via an automated oscillometric method.

Woody and herbaceous plants are the main components of global terrestrial ecosystems, and their growth, adaptation and survival depend largely on the metabolism of shoots and roots. Therefore, understanding size-scaling of metabolic rates in woody and herbaceous plants, and in shoots and roots, is a fundamental issue in ecology. However, few empirical studies have examined metabolic scaling exponents across a wide range of plant sizes.

Publishing preprints is quickly becoming commonplace in ecology and evolutionary biology. Preprints can facilitate the rapid sharing of scientific knowledge establishing precedence and enabling feedback from the research community before peer review. Yet, significant barriers to preprint use exist, including language barriers, a lack of understanding about the benefits of preprints and a lack of diversity in the types of research outputs accepted (e.

Aim: Fatigue is a common health problem in older adults. Chronic pain is associated with fatigue. However, the longitudinal association between chronic pain and the incidence of subjective fatigue among community-dwelling older adults remains unclear.
