AI Article Synopsis

  • Two previously unidentified female species of the genus Epipleoneura, E. capilliformis and E. albuquerquei, are described and diagnosed.
  • E. capilliformis features a unique trilobed hind lobe with an elevated middle section, distinguishing it from other females in the genus.
  • In contrast, E. albuquerquei possesses a smooth, posteriorly oriented hind lobe that is concave, resembling E. haroldoi but differing in its structure.

Article Abstract

We describe, illustrate and diagnose two hitherto unknown females of the genus Epipleoneura Williamson, 1915: E. capilliformis (Selys, 1886) and E. albuquerquei Machado, 1964. Both females are diagnosed based on the prothoracic hind lobe morphology: in E. capilliformis, the hind lobe is trilobed, with an elevated median portion, unique within the known females of the genus. Females of E. albuquerquei have an entire, posteriorly oriented (i.e. not partitioned into additional lobes) hind lobe, similar to E. haroldoi Santos, 1964, although more concave.

Article Synopsis
  • - Hemorrhage is the main cause of preventable death in trauma situations, leading to military and civilian advancements in medical practices, particularly through the use of tourniquets to manage extremity bleeding and save lives.
  • - While tourniquets have significantly decreased deaths from bleeding in military settings, noncompressible hemorrhage still poses a major risk, especially before patients receive definitive medical care.
  • - The study explores using a small, disposable pressure monitor during resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) to enhance blood pressure monitoring, facilitate better resuscitation practices, and reduce the need for blood products in extreme environments.
