THE MORPHOLOGY, TAXONOMY, AND PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSES OF FIVE FRESHWATER COLONIAL PERITRICH CILIATES (ALVEOLATA, CILIOPHORA), INCLUDING THE DESCRIPTIONS OF TWO NEW SPECIES

The morphology and phylogeny of two new sessilid species, Zoothamnium weishanicum n.sp.and Epicarchesium sinense n.sp., two insufficiently known species, Zoothamnium arbusculaEhrenberg, 1831 and Zoothamnium hentscheliKahl, 1935, and a well-known species, Carchesium polypinum (Linnaeus, 1767) Ehrenberg, 1838, collected from freshwater habitats of Ch

Coronaviruses are highly contagious and highly tropic to the kidney tissue.A new coronavirus infection can cause a wide range of pathological abnormalities of the kidneys, which is due to the content in the organs of angiotensin converting enzyme type 2 (ACE2), transmembrane serine protease 2 and cathepsin L, which are considered a target for SARS-

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), characterized by hypoxemic respiratory failure, is associated with a mortality of 30–50% and is precipitated by both direct and indirect pulmonary insults.Treatment is largely supportive, consisting of lung protective ventilation and thereby necessitating Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission.The most com

Background Breast cancer remains a significant global health concern, with early diagnosis and risk factor identification crucial for improving outcomes.Diffusion-Weighted Imaging (DWI) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) measurements have emerged as promising tools in breast cancer diagnostics.However, the influence of hormonal status on thes

This study examined applications of polarized evanescent guided wave surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to determine the binding and orientation of small molecules and ligand-modified nanoparticles, and the relevance of this technique to lab-on-a-chip, surface plasmon polariton and other types of field enhancement techniques relevant to Raman bios
