AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on a lichenized fungal genus that plays a crucial role in the crustose lichen communities found in tropical and subtropical forests.
  • Researchers used both morphological and molecular techniques to explore the species diversity of this genus in Southern China, analyzing genetic sequences from several regions.
  • The findings led to the identification and detailed description of five new species, providing significant contributions to the understanding of lichen diversity in the region.

Article Abstract

The lichenized fungal genus is an important element of crustose lichen communities in tropical to subtropical forests. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic approaches to investigate species diversity of () from Southern China were carried out in this study. Bayesian and maximum-likelihood (ML) analyses were generated based on the combined data set of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), partial regions of the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (LSU), and the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II gene sequences (RPB1). The morphological comparison with the known taxa and molecular phylogeny support five new species: sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., and sp. nov. All these species are described and illustrated in detail.

Author Affiliations: Research Associate (Dr Keys), The Center for Health Design, Concord, California; National Senior Director (Dr Fineout-Overholt), Evidence-Based Practice and Implementation Science, at Ascension in St. Louis, MO.

Objective: Relationships among coworker and patient visibility, reactions to physical work environment, and work stress in ICU nurses are explored.

Background: Millions of dollars are invested annually in the building or remodeling of ICUs, yet there is a gap in understanding relationships between the physical layout of nursing units and work stress.

Methods: Using a cross-sectional, correlational, exploratory, predictive design, relationships among variables were studied in a diverse sample of ICU nurses.

This systematic review aimed to identify and describe best practice for the intraoperative anesthetic management of patients undergoing emergent/urgent decompressive craniotomy or craniectomy for any indication. The PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for articles related to urgent/emergent craniotomy/craniectomy for intracranial hypertension or brain herniation. Only articles focusing on intraoperative anesthetic management were included; those investigating surgical or intensive care unit management were excluded.
