"Spumella"-like flagellates describes similar or even indiscernible colourless non-scaled chrysophytes which are important bacterivores common in different aquatic ecosystems. Recently, phylogenetic analyses revealed a high taxonomic diversity of these flagellates leading to the description of several new genera and species. Our present work on the functional group of pelagic bacterivorous chrysomonads from different water bodies resulted in an extended taxonomic analysis among chrysophytes unveiling yet undescribed genera and species pointing to the high hidden diversity of bacterivores in the pelagial of freshwaters. On the basis of phylogenetic analyses, we describe four new genera Atacamaspumella, Chlorospumella, Pseudapoikia, and Vivaspumella and a new species of the recently described genus Poteriospumella. Beside this, we redescribe the species Ochromonas vasocystis Doflein, 1923 to Poteriospumella vasocystis comb. nov. substantiated on the high sequence similarity with Poteriospumella lacustris Boenigk et Findenig and Poteriospumella maldiviensis nov. sp.

Boreal forests are important carbon sinks and host a diverse array of species that provide important ecosystem functions. Boreal forests have a long history of intensive forestry, in which even-aged management with clear-cutting has been the dominant harvesting practice for the past 50-80 years. As a second cycle of clear-cutting is emerging, there is an urgent need to examine the effects of repeated clear-cutting events on biodiversity.

Background: To determine the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 6-month tailored non-linear progressive physical activity intervention (PAI) for lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: Patients newly diagnosed with lymphoma (non-Hodgkin (NHL) or Hodgkin (HL)) were randomized into the PAI or healthy living intervention (HLI) control (2:1). Feasibility was assessed by examining accrual, adherence, and retention rates.

Background: Piperine, a secondary metabolite, affects the antihyperlipidemic effect of Ezetimibe (EZ). Hyperlipidemia is one of the independent risk factors for cardiovascular disorders such as atherosclerosis. Antihyperlipidemic drugs are essential for reducing cardiovascular events and patient mortality.

Maximal oxygen uptake (VOmax) in healthy subjects is primarily limited by systemic oxygen delivery. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), VOmax is potentially reduced by both central and peripheral factors. We aimed to investigate the effect on VOpeak of adding arm exercise to leg exercise.

Background: The Microtubules-associated protein tau (MAPT), alpha-synuclein (SNCA), and leucine zipper tumor suppressor 3 (LZTS3) genes are implicated in neurodegeneration and tumor suppression, respectively. This study investigated the regulatory roles of eugenol on paraquat-altered genes.
Results: Forty male Wistar rats divided into five groups of eight rats were used.
