Unraveling another of the 'Big Five': new species and records of Cerithiopsidae from Brazil (Caenogastropoda: Triphoroidea).

Despite being one of the most speciose marine mollusc families in the world, knowledge about the richness and distribution of Cerithiopsidae in Brazil is very limited. The present study aims to revise the occurrence of species of this family from Brazil, based on the examination of specimens in malacological collections obtained through several expeditions and surveys in the last years. All previous literature records of species from Brazil were checked, and the occurrence of Cerithiopsis gemmulosa, Cerithiopsis lata, Cerithiopsis io, Cerithiopsis fusiformis, Cerithiopsis capixaba, Cerithiopsis balaustium, Cerithiopsis aimen, Cerithiopsis prieguei, Cerithiopsis flava and Seila adamsii are confirmed; for these species, new information is presented regarding their distribution and shell morphology.

NEW NON-MARINE OSTRACOD GENERA AND SPECIES OF APTIAN AGE FROM ARARIPE BASIN, NORTHEAST BRAZIL.

The Ostracoda Subclass comprises the most expressive group of calcareous microfossils in the deposits of the Araripe Basin, especially in its post-rift sequence, which is represented by the Santana Group, of Late Aptian age (= Alagoas Local Stage). Due to the abundance, ostracod species are of great importance for understanding the evolution of the Araripe Basin, with direct application in biostratigraphic and paleoecological analyses. Improving these important applications involves refining the taxonomy of these ostracods, which also contributes to understanding the diversity of this fauna.

Reconstruction of Moderately and Severely Atrophic Scalp-A Multicentric Experience in Surgical Treatment of Patients Irradiated for Tinea Capitis in Childhood and Surgical Algorithm.

: Before the introduction of griseofluvin, the use of X-ray radiation was the treatment of choice for tinea capitis. More than half a century later various types of tumors have been found to be associated with childhood irradiation due to tinea capitis, most commonly cancers of the head and neck, as well as brain tumors. The often unusually aggressive and recurrent nature of these tumors necessitates the need for repeated surgeries, while the atrophic skin with an impaired vascular supply due to radiation often poses an additional challenge for defect reconstruction.

Histopathology in the Diagnosis of Tinea Capitis: When to Do, How to Interpret?

The diagnosis of tinea capitis is usually made by clinical signs and direct microscopic examination. Early diagnosis of this dermatophytic infection, which may cause permanent hair loss if not treated appropriately, is very crucial. In recent years, the use of dermoscopy has helped with early diagnosis.

Transcriptomics analyses and biochemical characterization of Aspergillus flavus spores exposed to 1-nonanol.

The exploitation of plant volatile organic compounds as biofumigants to control postharvest decaying of agro-products has received considerable research attention. Our previous study reported that 1-nonanol, the main constituent of cereal volatiles, can inhibit Aspergillus flavus growth and has the potential as a biofumigant to control the fungal spoilage of cereal grains. However, the antifungal mechanism of 1-nonanol against A.
