Background: Malignant pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor that may metastasize to the bones, liver, lungs, kidneys, and lymph nodes. Cerebral and skull metastases are even rarer, with only 17 cases reported in the literature. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of a purely calvarial metastasis from malignant pheochromocytoma associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A).

The indica ecotypes, IR64, an elite drought-susceptible variety adapted to irrigated ecosystem, and Apo (IR55423-01 or NSIC RC9), a moderate drought-tolerant upland genotype together with their hybrid (IR64 × Apo) were exposed to non- and water-stress conditions. By sequencing (RNA-seq) these genotypes, we were able to map genes diverging in cis and/or trans factors. Under non-stress condition, cis dominantly explains (11.

December 2020

1Institute of Weed Science, Entomology and Plant Pathology, College of Agriculture and Food Science; and Museum of Natural History, University of the Philippine Los Baños, College, Laguna, Philippines..

This paper presents a catalogue of oribatid mites (Acari, Oribatida) recorded from Continental Southeast Asia (CSEA) covering a period of 55 years from 1965 to the first half of 2020. This subregion comprises countries that are located on the southeastern coast of the Asian continent, namely, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. For each species, information is compiled on references to the original description, subsequent re-combinations of specific name with other genera, and junior synonyms used in CSEA literature, if any, as well as type habitat, habitats recorded later, and distribution within outside CSEA.

Article Synopsis
  • Pteropine orthoreovirus (PRV) is linked to respiratory tract illnesses in humans and was found in wild bats in the Philippines, with isolates taken from 9 of 91 bats captured in 2013.
  • The full genomic sequences of these PRV isolates show they are novel strains that have undergone genetic re-assortment.
  • A high prevalence of PRV was indicated by positive PRV-neutralizing antibodies in 76 out of 84 bats, suggesting potential importance for studying its impact on human respiratory illnesses in the region.
