Two new species of blind ground beetles are described from the southern United States. One species, (type locality: E of Oneonta, Blount County, Alabama), based on the structure of male genitalia, is similar to Texan , in particular to the endogean Jeannel. The second species, (type locality: 4 mi SW Jackson, West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana), is superficially similar to the endogean Jeannel from Roane County, Tennessee, and represents the first record of the genus for the state of Louisiana. All species are illustrated with digital images of habitus, body parts, and male and female genitalia. Biogeographical and evolutionary implications of the new findings are discussed.

Cathepsin-D and outcomes in peripartum cardiomyopathy: Results from IPAC.
Am Heart J Plus
January 2025
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, PA, United States of America.
Objective: Evaluate the relationship of cathepsin-D (CD) on disease severity and clinical outcomes for women with peripartum cardiomyopathy.
Background: Cathepsin-D is a protease released during oxidative stress that cleaves prolactin (PRL) generating a 16 kDa fragment that is pro-apoptotic, anti-angiogenic, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM).
Methods: In 99 women with newly diagnosed PPCM enrolled in the Investigation in Pregnancy Associated Cardiomyopathy (IPAC) study, CD levels were assessed by ELISA from serum obtained at study entry.
Family physicians' perspectives on outcomes, processes, and policies in dementia care.

The rapid rise in numbers of people living with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) poses major challenges to health systems and policy. Although primary care clinicians provide ongoing medical care for 80% of affected individuals, they face persistent barriers to providing high-quality dementia care. We conducted qualitative interviews with family physicians ( = 20) to understand what core outcomes they consider most important and what care processes and systems and policy strategies they propose to achieve them.

Biomedical Research Institute of Southern California, Oceanside, CA, United States.
Interferon types-I/II (IFN-αβ/γ) secretions are well-established antiviral host defenses. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) particles are known to prevail following targeted cellular interferon secretion. CD4 T-lymphocytes are the primary receptor targets for HIV entry, but the virus has been observed to hide (be latent) successfully in these cells through an alternate entry route via interactions with LFA1.

Plants can recruit microorganisms to enhance soil arsenic (As) removal and nitrogen (N) turnover, but how microbial As methylation in the rhizosphere is affected by N biotransformation is not well understood. Here, we used acetylene reduction assay, gene amplicon, and metagenome sequencing to evaluate the influence of N biotransformation on As methylation in the rhizosphere of , a potential As hyperaccumulator. was grown in mining soils (MS) and artificial As-contaminated soils (AS) over two generations in a controlled pot experiment.

Leveraging extensive multi-omics profiling (methylome, miRNome, transcriptome, proteins and metabolites) and a rich phenotypic characterization across two parts of Europe within the population-based Human Early Life Exposome project, we unravel the molecular landscape of childhood obesity and associated metabolic dysfunction. Our integrative analysis uncovers three clusters of children defined by specific multi-omics profiles, one of which characterized not only by higher adiposity but also by a high degree of metabolic complications.
