Mnesicleinae is a little-known subfamily of Chorotypidae and consists of 19 genera distributed throughout the Malay Archipelago, including Uvarovia Bolvar, 1930. For many species from this subfamily, nearly nothing is known after their original descriptions. Based on new materials from recent surveys, we were able to examine specimens from two species: Uvarovia longipennis Bolvar, 1930 from Malay Peninsula (also type species for genus) and Uvarovia gracilipes Bolvar, 1931 from Borneo. Only female specimens were known for the two species. Here, we describe for the first time males specimens of Uvarovia longipennis and Uvarovia gracilipes. We also present an updated key to species of Uvarovia and a key to genera of Mnesicleinae from Borneo and Malay Peninsula.

Glucanases are widely applied in industrial applications such as brewing, biomass conversion, food, and animal feed. Glucanases catalyze the hydrolysis of glucan to produce the sugar hemiacetal through hydrolytic cleavage of glycosidic bonds. Current study aimed to investigate structural insights of a glucanase from Clostridium perfringens through blind molecular docking, site-specific molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, and binding energy calculation.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a potential adjunct therapy for post-stroke motor rehabilitation. While conventional rehabilitation methods remain the primary approach to improving motor function after stroke, many patients experience incomplete recovery, necessitating the exploration of additional interventions. This commentary article examines the role of tDCS in poststroke motor recovery, focusing on its mechanisms, efficacy, and limitations.

Introduction: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), an in vivo imaging tool for evaluating intraplaque neovascularisation (IPN), is an increasingly researched marker of susceptible atherosclerotic plaque. This study aims to assess the feasibility of quantifying carotid IPN using CEUS and to identify and characterise the neovascularisation in carotid plaques. The hospital's ethical committee approved the study, and the informed individual consent form of CEUS was obtained from all patients before the examination.
