Body fusiform, comprising body proper (cephalic regions, trunk and peduncle) and opisthaptor. Body wall thin and smooth. Cephalic region bilobed, each lobe bears a spike sensillum. Cephalic gland present. Eye spots absent. Mouth situated ventrally. Pharynx spherical, comprised of two bulbs, anterior bulb presents finger-like pharyngeal processes. Oesophagus branching into two simple, blind-ended intestinal crura that extend beyond uterus. Viviparous, only one embryo <i>in utero</i> observed. Male copulatory organ consists of muscular pouch, positioned ventrally, close to bifurcation of intestinal crura, armed with approximately 30 gracile spines.</p> <p>Opisthaptor delineated from body, bearing a single pair of large, slender hamuli with constriction on outer edge between shaft and point regions on each hamulus. Hamuli root prominently flattened; ventral terminus of hamulus cap tapered. Large muscle masses and tendons associated with hamulus root caps evident. Small and simple ventral bar, without anterolateral processes; thin lingulate membrane present. Thin, simple dorsal bar. Sixteen marginal hooks with large falculate sickles of one morphological type, but of three different sizes, length of each sickle being approximately equal in length to that of their handle. Two largest pairs of marginal hooks positioned closest to opisthaptoral peduncle, neighbouring two pairs of medium-sized marginal hook sickles situated along lateral margins of opisthaptor, and remaining four pairs and smallest marginal hooks positioned along posterior margin of opisthaptor. E t y m o l o g y: Generic name refers to the presence of marginal hooks of three differing sizes.</p>Published as part of <i>Přikrylová, Iva, Barson, Maxwell & Shinn, Andrew P., 2021, Description of Tresuncinidactylus wilmienae gen. et sp. n.

Fighting against Viral Hepatitis: Lessons from Taiwan
No full textViral hepatitis and its sequelae are important health problems worldwide, including Taiwan. For the last 40 years, Taiwan's scientists and health care providers have worked hard to control these sequelae, and the results have been excellent. The author, Ding-Shinn Chen, had a key role in planning and establishing the control program in Taiwan, and participated in the endeavors from the very beginning. In this perspective, he describes how he became interested in research as a medical student, his encounters with hepatitis B and C, how he and his colleagues started early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), how he helped Taiwan's government create and implement the Viral Hepatitis Control Program, and how the effectiveness of the program in the decrease of hepatitis B carriage and HCC was monitored. He also discusses how he pioneered the use of interferon- plus ribavirin to treat chronic hepatitis C. Hepatitis B viral load as a risk factor for HCC and cirrhosis in hepatitis B surface antigen carriers is reviewed briefly, as is the prevention of sequelae by antiviral therapies. Finally, Dr. Chen discusses unresolved issues that must be addressed and predicts the changes of the patterns of liver disease in Taiwan beyond the mid-21st century, which is in part affected by the fight against viral hepatitis that was initiated in the early 1980s . CONCLUSION: Dr. Chen's perspective illustrates Taiwan's fight against viral hepatitis over the last 40 years. This experience can be shared by other countries in which the disease is equally prevalent

The illustrations of Everett Shinn and George Luks
No full text"Everett Shinn and George Luks established their place in American art through the kinds of paintings they showed with ""The Eight"" in 1908. Their works, as well as those of the other realists in the group--Robert Henri, John Sloan, and William Glackens, focused on themes of urban realism. Such subject matter broke with the more genteel art fashionable at the time. Shinn, Luks, Sloan and Glackens had begun their careers as illustrators, working for newspapers as artist-reporters, and turning to magazines when photography made their newspaper jobs obsolete."Shinn and Luks were friends who shared living quarters and working experiences. Illustration was important to their artistic training, introducing them to topics they would deal with in their high art. Scholarly literature, however, has tended to neglect their illustrative work.Both Shinn and Luks were acute observers of life, portraying it with objectivity. Nevertheless, neither could escape employing stereotypical images that reflected prevailing notions. Shinn's early realism gave way to stylized female images which accompanied the romantic stories he usually illustrated for the magazines. His experience as an art director for the movies, and his involvement with the theater reinforced the stock images he developed for a mass media audience.Luks also had theatrical experience, having performed in a vaudeville act. Minstrel show types appear frequently in the cartoons he drew for the New York World. Luks' Yellow Kid, L'il Mose, and other comic strips often relied on ethnic humor, conforming to the attitudes of the readers. Luks went on to draw cartoons for the politically liberal Verdict, producing his finest graphic work while attacking the power of the trusts, and political corruption.Shinn and Luks were immersed in the life around them. Robert Henri, the spearhead of The Eight, had exhorted his young friends to paint the kinds of subjects they were illustrating, and to eschew the escapist themes of academic art. Commercial assignments, especially in their newspaper days, pushed them to deal with topical issues. Shinn and Luks did not make a distinction between commercial and fine art, and understood that the former helped create the latter.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:27:34Z (GMT).
