Description, life cycle, and phylogenetics of Proterometra wigglewomble n. sp. (Digenea: Azygiidae) from the Cahaba River, Alabama, U.S.A
Syst Parasitol. 2023 Dec 21;101(1):9. doi: 10.1007/s11230-023-10132-1.ABSTRACTWe herein describe Proterometra wigglewomble n. sp. (Digenea: Azygiidae: Azygiinae) from the Cahaba River, Alabama, USA, which asexually reproduces in the compact elimia, Elimia showalteri (Lea, 1860) (Cerithioidea: Pleuroceridae) and matures in the oesophagus of the blackbanded darter, Percina nigrofasciata (Agassiz, 1854) (Perciformes: Percidae). Adults of the new species differ from congeners by having a small body and eggs having a wholly fimbriated surface that appears as a cilia-like brush border. Live naturally-shed cercariae of the new sp...

Linking metacercariae and adults of Microphallus basodactylophallus (Digenea: Microphallidae), based on larval stages from ctenophores and adult parasites from aquatic birds found in Mexico
Syst Parasitol. 2023 Dec 21;101(1):8. doi: 10.1007/s11230-023-10131-2.ABSTRACTMembers of the genus Microphallus Ward, 1901, are endoparasites mainly of birds and mammals distributed worldwide. Unencysted metacercariae of Microphallus sp., were collected from the mesoglea of ctenophores of the genus Pleurobrachia Fleming; adult digeneans were recovered from the intestines of Eudocimus albus Linnaeus (Threskiornithidae) and Buteogallus urubitinga Gmelin (Accipitridae), in four locations from southeastern Mexico. Adult specimens were identified as M. basodactylophallus (Bridgman, 1969) based on the following features: body py...

Fibrin sealant for closure of mucosal penetration at the oesophagus or cardia during submucosal tunnelling endoscopic resection for gastrointestinal submucosal tumours
ConclusionFor the closure of mucosal penetration during STER at the cardia or oesophagus, a fibrin sealant is both safe and efficacious. It is necessary to conduct more research on the viability, effectiveness, and safety of using a fibrin sealant to close wider mucosal penetrations. (Source: Surgical Endoscopy)

2086 The value of emergency care data set (ECDS) presentation codes for predicting mortality and inpatient admission
Conclusion Data was collected from 84,999 patients, of which 1,159 people died within 30 days of attendance. The mortality rate was the highest in Cardiac arrest (78.05%), Cardiac arrest due to Trauma (50%) and Respiratory arrest (50%). Drowsy (11.97%), Hypothermia (13.04%) and Cyanosis (10%) were also high risk categories. Chest pain was not a high risk presenting complaint. (table 1) The initial presenting complaint in ECDS shows a useful ability to identify people at high and lower risk of death. This information may be useful for building automated triage models. Abstract 2086 Table 1 Presentations Total first prese...
