DA largest in the bladders: DLL the second largest: VA as large as B: A exist: VLR, BLR and VB not exist. VA short and roundly or triangular everted apically. DA everted basally. DA everted basally. B oval swollen right laterally, with well sclerotized spines, which are forming an oblong band. DLL swollen dorsally, covered numerously with well sclerotized spines, which are a forming band. Flagellum well short, curved and formed S shape. Medial tooth short, curved right ventro-laterally, tapered gently at apex. Remarks. This species was treated as Cicindela (Sophiodela) okinawana by Fukuda et al. (2015), but the formal taxonomic treatment had not been accepted. As mentioned earlier, this species is clearly distinguished from the congener species of Sophiodela by the structures of the internal sac. Therefore, we reassigned S. okinawana in Sophiodela as an independent species.Published as part of Fukuda, Yuki, Ogawa, Ryo & Hori, Michio, 2019, The reclassification of Sophiodela and other tiger beetles (Coleoptera, Cicindelidae) based on the structure of the everted internal sac of the male genitalia, pp. 271-308 in Zootaxa 4661 (2) on page 284, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4661.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/399852

Environmental factors that affect the Fukuda stepping test in normal participants
No full textBackground: The Fukuda stepping test is commonly used to assess peripheral vestibular function. It has, however, been suggested that its maximal sensitivity and specificity are 70 per cent and 50 per cent, respectively. This study was undertaken to evaluate environmental factors that may influence the reliability of this assessment and hence to ‘sharpen’ its use in a clinical setting.
Methods: Forty-four participants aged between 20 and 43 years were asked to perform the Fukuda stepping test in both a standard clinic room and a soundproofed room under the following conditions in a randomised order: on the floor versus on foam; with and without a sound-localising source; and with and without ear defenders.
Results: Significant differences in the extent of rotation were found when comparing the results obtained in several settings, including standing on the floor in a standard room versus a soundproofed room (p = 0.036), and standing on foam in a standard room versus a soundproofed room (p = 0.015).
Conclusion: Our results suggest that certain alterations to the test environment may improve the sensitivity of this clinical examination
Evaluation of differences in automated QT/QTc measurements between Fukuda Denshi and Nihon Koden systems.
No full textAutomatic measurement becomes a preference, and indeed a necessity, when analyzing 1000 s of ECGs in the setting of either drug-inducing QT prolongation screening or genome-wide association studies of QT interval. The problem is that individual manufacturers apply different computerized algorithms to measure QT interval. We conducted a comparative study to assess the outcomes with different automated measurements of QT interval between ECG machine manufacturers and validated the related heart rate correction methods.Herein, we directly compared these different commercial systems using 10,529 Fukuda Denshi ECGs and 72,754 Nihon Kohden ECGs taken in healthy Japanese volunteers. Log-transformed data revealed an equal optimal heart rate correction formula of QT interval for Fukuda Denshi and Nihon Kohden, in the form of QTc = QT/RR(-0.347). However, with the raw data, the optimal heart rate correction formula of QT interval was in the form of QTc = QT+0.156×(1-RR) for Fukuda Denshi and QTc = QT+0.152×(1-RR) for Nihon Kohden. After optimization of heart rate correction of QT interval by the linear regression model using either log-transformed data or raw data, QTc interval was ∼10 ms longer in Nihon Kohden ECGs than in those recorded on Fukuda Denshi machines. Indeed, regression analysis revealed that differences in the ECG machine used had up to a two-fold larger impact on QT variation than gender difference. Such an impact is likely to be of considerable importance when ECGs for a given individual are recorded on different machines in the setting of multi-institutional joint research.We recommend that ECG machines of the same manufacturer should be used to measure QT and RR intervals in the setting of multi-institutional joint research. It is desirable to unify the computer algorithm for automatic QT and RR measurements from an ECG
