AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers collected spiders from the Lüliang Mountains in China, marking the first instance of this genus being documented there.
- Phylogenetic analysis using various DNA sequences categorized the spiders into nine clades, indicating they are distinct species.
- Among these, one species was previously identified, while the other eight are new to science, all sharing close geographical locations and morphological similarities.
Article Abstract
Spiders of the genus were collected for the first time during an expedition to the Lüliang Mountains in Shanxi Province, North China. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data from COI, H3, wnt, and 28S genes allowed us to group them into nine well-supported clades. We used morphology and four methods of molecular species delimitation, namely Automatic Barcode Gap Discovery (ABGD), the Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC), Bayesian Poisson Tree Processes (bPTP), and Bayesian Phylogenetics and Phylogeography (BPP), to investigate species boundaries. These integrative taxonomic analyses identified the nine clades as nine distinct species, comprising Peng & Zhang, 2013 and eight other species new to science: sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., and sp. nov. The species occur in geographic proximity and show many morphological similarities. All of them belong to the species group. The records from the Lüliang Mountains represent the westernmost distribution limit of this species group.

Individual on Death Row Receiving Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) for Catatonia: A Case Report.
J ECT

Department of Psychiatry and Health Behavior, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, Augusta, GA.
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.

Faculty of Sport Sciences, Universidad Europea de Madrid.
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.
Participation interest and completion of home blood pressure measurements with mailed devices in adults with and without hypertension.

Robert Koch Institute, Department of Epidemiology and Health Monitoring.
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).
