BACKGROUND Patients with glioblastoma are considered to be at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and major bleeding (MB), although reliable incidence estimates are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the cumulative incidence, risk factors and prognostic impact of VTE and MB in a large cohort of glioblastoma patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with glioblastoma between 2004–2020 from the Leiden University Medical Center and Haaglanden Medical Center were included and followed from 6 months before date of histopathological glioblastoma diagnosis up to two years after, or until an outcome of interest (VTE and MB) or death occurred. Cumulative incidences were estimated using Kaplan-Meier and cumulative incidence competing risk methods. Outcome predictors were determined with multivariable (time-dependent) Cox models. RESULTS Of the 967 included patients, 631 died, 101 were diagnosed with VTE and 130 with MB during a median follow-up of 15 months (IQR 9–22). The majority of MBs were intracranially (94%), of which half was within 4 weeks post-surgery (51%). Ambulant patients did not routinely receive pharmacological thromboprophylaxis. The adjusted 2.5-year-cumulative incidence of VTE was 12% (95%CI 10–14) and of MB 16% (95%CI 13–18). One year increase in age (HR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01–1.05), tumor resection (vs. biopsy: HR 0.56, 95%CI 0.35–0.89) and performance status (ECOG >1 vs ≤1: HR 1.8, 95%CI 1.2–2.7) were independent predictors of VTE (a biopsy rather than resection was performed in patients with the worst prognosis). MB and VTE predicted all-cause mortality (adjusted HR 1.7, 95%CI 1.3–2.1 and 1.3, 95%CI 0.99–1.6 respectively). CONCLUSION The incidences of VTE and MB in patients with glioblastoma are high, with both complications associated with a poor prognosis. Our observations emphasize the need for prospective studies to determine optimal thromboprophylaxis and VTE treatment strategy in these patients.

(Mexico, Guatemala, Hawaii) Comments: At the time of the Froeschner (1988) catalog, the status of the different U.S. forms within Thyanta was confused. Rider & Chapin (1992) determined that Thyanta custator is composed of two subspecies - the nominate subspecies occurs along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, whereas Thyanta custator accerra occurs throughout the rest of the U.S., except it is replaced by Thyanta pallidovirens in the western U.S. This form was listed in Froeschner (1988) as Thyanta accerra and also the records for Thyanta pallidovirens spinosa Ruckes refer to this form. Additionally, most records of Thyanta perditor from the desert southwestern states should be referred here. The Idaho record for this species should be referred to Thyanta pallidovirens.

Insect Science, Ecology, and Ecology, Evolution, Behavior and Systematics

The knowledge of the entomological fauna in productive systems is important for the agroecological management since beneficial insects are a key resource for pest management in horticultural systems. Scientific information on the biodiversity present in a given area is essential as well as the ecological function and/or feeding habits of the insects. In Alto Valle de Río Negro and Neuquén, horticultural production systems can be described as highly dependent on chemical inputs for pest management and fertilization. The aim of this study is to carry out an inventory of the biodiversity of some families of Hemiptera, Coleoptera (Curculionidae) and Hymenoptera present in peri-urban and rural farms located in Neuquén and Río Negro, respectively. Insects were collected through pitfall and sweeping net on tomato and pepper crops and the surrounding non-cultivated areas. Idiosystatus Berg (Auchenorrhyncha) was cited for the first time from Argentina. Species cited for the first time from Neuquén: Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Acanalonia chloris (Berg), Syncharina punctatissima (Signoret), Amplicephalus dubius Linnavuori, Exitianus obscurinervis (Stål), Agalliana ensigera Oman and Bergallia signata (Stål); Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Harmostes (Harmostes) prolixus Stål and Atrachelus (Atrachelus) cinereus (Fabricius); Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Hypurus bertrandi (Perris), Naupactus leucoloma Boheman, Otiorhynchus rugosostriatus (Goeze) and Sitona discoideus Gyllenhal and Hymenoptera: Xylocopa (Neoxylocopa) augusti Lepeletier and Pseudagapostemon (Neagapostemon) singularis Jörgensen. Species cited for the first time from Río Negro: Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Amplicephalus dubius Linnavuori, Amplicephalus marginellanus Linnavuori, Circulifer tenellus (Baker) and Xerophloea viridis (Fabricius); Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus (Spinola), Atrachelus (Atrachelus) cinereus (Fabricius), Dichelops furcatus (Fabricius) and Harmostes (Harmostes) prolixus Stål; Coleptera: Curculionidae: Naupactus xanthographus (Germar) and Hymenoptera: Diadasia pereyrae (Holmberg) and Dialictus autranellus (Vachal)

Insect Science, Ecology, General Medicine, Biological pest control, Spined soldier bug, biology.organism_classification, biology, Pentatomidae, Hemiptera, Zoology, Predation, Parasitism, Scelionidae, and Brown marmorated stink bug

This study evaluated parasitism and predation on sentinel egg masses of three stink bug species, the spined soldier bug, Podisus maculiventris (Say), the brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say), and the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål), in ornamental landscapes composed of either native or exotic plants. This study also compared the species composition of parasitoids attacking two native stink bug species (P. maculiventris and E. servus) with those attacking the invasive BMSB on the same tree species in the same habitat. Overall, egg parasitism and predation were much higher on the two native stink bug species compared with BMSB, with an average parasitism rate of 20.6% for E. servus, 12.7% for P. maculiventris, and only 4.2% for H. halys and an average predation rate of 8.2% for E. servus,17.7% for P. maculiventris, and 2.3% for H. halys. Egg predation was also significantly higher on P. maculiventris than on E. servus eggs. Eight parasitoid species attacked sentinel stink bug eggs in the ornamental landscaped plots. Trissolcus euschisti (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) was the predominant parasitoid for all three stink bug species. There were no significant differences in parasitism and predation rates on any of the stink bug species between native and exotic plots. Therefore, there is no evidence that ornamental landscapes composed of native plants increased parasitism or predation rates of sentinel egg masses of two native stink bug species or the invasive BMSB, compared with those composed entirely of exotic plants.
