This study describes the main ontogenetic changes in the armored catfish Pterygoplichthys ambrosettii from newly hatched larva to adult. The relationship between the degree of development of newly hatched larvae and post-larvae and parental care is discussed. Ontogenetic series containing newly hatched larvae, post-larvae, and juveniles of P. ambrosettii were obtained from the Fish Culture Station of Universidade Estadual Paulista. Adult specimens were collected from the Preto River in the upper Paraná River basin. Morphological, osteological, morphometric, and meristic data and color pattern were analyzed. MK-28 in vivo The species exhibited indirect development, with a distinct post-larval stage after the larval stage. Newly hatched larvae had a well-developed yolk sac and lacked pigmentation. The following characters underwent less change during development and can therefore be useful in taxonomical analyses odontodes located posteriorly to the preopercle, number of plates on the lateral line, lower lip with three series of papillae, spots on the upper ray of the caudal fin, caudal fin similar to that of the adult, body ventrally covered with dermal plates and odontodes, small irregular spots on head, and typical ventral color pattern of the adult. The morphometric data revealed that most variation in body proportions occurred during less advanced developmental stages. Parental care influenced the ontogenetic development of newly hatched larvae.Some species of slugs belonging to the genus Deroceras are invasive and cause severe agricultural damage. Despite extensive knowledge about their invasiveness, data on the molecular differentiation of these morphologically similar species are lacking. Here we present a molecular approach to identifying three closely related species of the genus Deroceras-D. agreste (L., 1758), D. reticulatum (O. F. Müller, 1774) and D. turcicum (Simroth, 1894) (Gastropoda Eupulmonata Agriolimacidae)-based on sequences of multiple molecular markers cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), cytochrome b (cyt-b), internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS-2) and 28S ribosomal RNA (28S rRNA). We also provide detailed photomicrographs of the penis and penial gland of the three species, as it is the latter that holds the most important phenotypic characters for distinguishing between these taxa. Since identification of the studied species based solely on morphology is considered challenging, contributing a means of molecular differentiation will aid further ecological and biodiversity surveys of these important pests.Industrial servo presses have been used to successfully demonstrate improved formability when deforming sheet metals. While the time dependent viscoplastic behavior of material is attributed to the observed formability improvement, much less effort has been devoted to understand and quantify the underlying mechanisms. In this context, the hole expansion test (HET) of a dual phase steel was interrupted at pre-defined punch travel heights to understand the time-dependent effects on stretch-flangeability. The effect of pre-strain, hold time and edge quality on hole expansion ratio (HER) improvement was studied. The present study shows that the HER improves significantly in interrupted HET. This improved HER is due to the combined effects of stress relaxation and friction on deformation behavior. The ductility improvement estimated from uniaxial stress relaxation tests was used to estimate the contribution of stress relaxation and friction, respectively, in HET. This study shows that friction plays a significant role in improving HER at high pre-strain. It was also demonstrated that frictional effects are largely influenced by edge quality.[This corrects the article DOI 10.3389/fgene.2021.605611.].The rich data from the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) offer an unprecedented opportunity to identify the biological underpinnings of age-related disease (ARD) risk and multimorbidity. Surprisingly, however, a comprehensive list of ARDs remains unavailable due to the lack of a clear definition and selection criteria. We developed a method to identify ARDs and to provide a compendium of ARDs for genetic association studies. Querying 1,358 electronic medical record-derived traits, we first defined ARDs and age-related traits (ARTs) based on their prevalence profiles, requiring a unimodal distribution that shows an increasing prevalence after the age of 40 years, and which reaches a maximum peak at 60 years of age or later. As a result, we identified a list of 463 ARDs and ARTs in the GWAS and PheWAS catalogs. We next translated the ARDs and ARTs to their respective 276 Medical Subject Headings diseases and 45 anatomy terms. The most abundant disease categories are neoplasms (48 terms), cardiovascular diseases (44 terms), and nervous system diseases (27 terms). Employing data from a human symptoms-disease network, we found 6 symptom-shared disease groups, representing cancers, heart diseases, brain diseases, joint diseases, eye diseases, and mixed diseases. Lastly, by overlaying our ARD and ART list with genetic correlation data from the UK Biobank, we found 54 phenotypes in 2 clusters with high genetic correlations. Our compendium of ARD and ART is a highly useful resource, with broad applicability for studies of the genetics of aging, ARD, and multimorbidity. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an age-associated condition that greatly increases the risk of mortality. The purpose of this study was to identify gene variants associated with all-cause mortality among individuals with clinically phenotyped CAD using a genome-wide screening approach. We performed discovery ( = 1,099), replication ( = 404), and meta-analyses ( = 1,503) for association of genomic variants with survival outcome using secondary data from White participants with CAD from two GWAS sub-studies of the Duke Catheterization Genetics Biorepository. We modeled time from catheterization to death or last follow-up (median 7.1 years, max 12 years) using Cox multivariable regression analysis. Target statistical screening thresholds were × 10 for the discovery phase and Bonferroni-calculated -values for the replication ( < 5.3 × 10 ) and meta-analysis ( < 1.6 × 10 ) phases. Genome-wide analysis of 785,945 autosomal SNPs revealed two SNPs (rs13007553 and rs587936) that had the same direction of effect across all three phases of the analysis, with suggestive -value association in discovery and replication and significant meta-analysis association in models adjusted for clinical covariates.
