Seven new species of Otacilia Thorell, 1897 from China are described and illustrated, all from both sexes: O. ensifera sp. nov. and O. arcuata sp. nov. from Hunan Province; O. spiralis sp. nov. from Hunan Province and Chongqing City; O. lubrica sp. nov. and O. wuli sp. nov. from Chongqing City; O. dentigera sp. nov. from Sichuan Province; and O. shanxi sp. nov. from Shanxi Province. Based on Jin et al. (2016), the seven new species described here belong to two species groups: O. ensifera sp. nov., O. shanxi sp. nov., O. spiralis sp. nov. and O. lubrica sp. nov. belong to the armatissima-group, while O. wuli sp. nov., O. dentigera sp. nov. and O. arcuata sp. nov. belong to the longituba-group.

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is underused, logistically challenging for those who are justice-involved, and laced with ethical problems for those on death row. Herein we describe a case of a man without history of long-standing psychiatric illness who, after more than 15 years on death row, was hospitalized for altered mental status. After medical stabilization, the altered mental status persisted.

Objectives: The effects of acute physical exercise in patients with resistant hypertension remain largely unexplored compared with hypertensive patients in general. We assessed the short-term effects of acute moderate-intensity (MICE) and high-intensity interval exercise (HIIE) on the clinic (BP) and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) of patients with resistant hypertension.
Methods: Using a crossover randomized controlled design, 10 participants (56 ± 7 years) with resistant hypertension performed three experimental sessions: MICE, HIIE, and control.
Objective: The oxidative balance score (OBS) has emerged as a novel marker for assessing oxidative stress status. This study aimed to investigate the association of OBS with systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), all-cause, and cardiovascular disease mortality in hypertensive patients.
Methods: We conducted an analysis of data from 7602 hypertensive patients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2018.

Objectives: Home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) is valuable for the detection and monitoring of hypertension. Despite logistical advantages, HBPM has not yet been used in national blood pressure (BP) surveys. We investigated randomly selected adults' willingness to participate in an HBPM study (attitude survey) and piloted this approach (feasibility study).
