Ramucirumab plus docetaxel versus placebo plus docetaxel in patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma after platinum-based therapy (RANGE): a randomised, double-blind, phase 3 trial

Few treatments with a distinct mechanism of action are available for patients with platinum-refractory advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma. We assessed the efficacy and safety of treatment with docetaxel plus either ramucirumab-a human IgG1 VEGFR-2 antagonist-or placebo in this patient population

Mironovia lagopus Bochkov and Skirnisson 2010

Mironovia lagopus Bochkov and Skirnisson, 2010 Mironovia lagopus Bochkov and Skirnisson, 2010: 2, figs. 1–5. Type host: Lagopus muta (Montin) (Phasianidae). Type locality: Iceland. This species was recently described from Lagopus muta (Montin) (Phasianidae) from Iceland (Bochkov & Skirnisson 2010). Below we give a new host for this quill mite species. Material examined. From quill of covert of Lagopus lagopus (Linnaeus) (new host): 6 females (AMU- SYR. 324); NORWAY, Setesdal, 25 July 1926, coll. Bernhoft-Osa. Mites collected by M. Skoracki.

Galliform-associated mites belong to two species, <i>C. polonica</i> (Skoracki <i>et al</i>., 2002), <i>C. alectoris</i> (Fain <i>et al</i>., 2000), and one new species described below.</p> <p> Although, this genus was established based on material collected from nest of <i>Columba livia</i> Gmelin in Afganistan (Kivganov & Sharafat 1995), in our opinion, this bird is not true host for this mite species. Really the picobiin connected with doves is <i>Neopicobia zumpti</i> (Lawrence, 1959) recorded from African, American, European doves (Lawrence 1959; Bochkov <i>et al</i>. 2005; pers. obs.). <i>C. khushalkhani</i> is morphologically very similar to <i>C. polonica</i>, (a poor description and access to the type material of <i>C. khushalkhani</i> being unavailable, does not allow us to compare these two species). We suggest accidental transfer of these quill mites from domestic hen to nearby nesting doves. Thus, the name <i>Columbiphilus</i> does not show the real association of these quill mites with their hosts.</p>Published as part of <i>Skoracki, Maciej & Sikora, Bozena, 2011, Quill mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) associated with galliform birds (Aves: Galliformes), pp. 13-30 in Zootaxa 2966</i> on page 26, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/278233">10.5281/zenodo.278233</a&gt

Host specimen is deposited in the ZSM. Mites collected by M. Skoracki. Type deposition. All type material is deposited in the AMU except 1 female paratype in the ZSM. Additional material. From quills of body feathers of Colinus cristatus (Linnaeus) (Odontophoridae): 3 females (physogastric form) (AMU-SYR. 321); SURINAM, Zanderij, 16 August 1964, coll. F. Haverschmidt. Mite material collected by M. Skoracki. All material is deposited in the AMU. From the same habitat and host: 1 female (AMU-SYR. 321 B); COLOMBIA, Cauca, Popayan, 9 October 1966, coll. L.E. Orozco. Specimen collected by M. Skoracki and deposited in the AMU. Etymology. The name of this new species refers to the family name of the host – Odontophoridae. Differential diagnosis. C. odontophoridus sp. nov. is morphologically similar to C. alectoris (Fain et al., 2000). In females of both species, the terminal setae f 1 are distinctly longer than f 2. This new species is distinguishable from C. alectoris as follows: in females of C. odontophoridus, the hypostomal apex is tapering and setae situated near the genito-anal opening (ps 1, ps 2 and g 1) are as microsetae (no longer than 7). In females of C. alectoris, the hypostomal apex is rounded with shoulders and the length of setae situated near the genito-anal opening (ps 1, ps 2 and g 1) is about 40.Published as part of Skoracki, Maciej & Sikora, Bozena, 2011, Quill mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) associated with galliform birds (Aves: Galliformes), pp. 13-30 in Zootaxa 2966 on pages 27-29, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27823

Colinophilus Kethley 1973

Genus Colinophilus Kethley, 1973 Colinophilus Kethley, 1973: 2. Type species: Colinophilus wilsoni Kethley, 1973 by original designation. This genus includes only one species, C. wilsoni Kethley, 1973 which is known to occur in two odontophorid host species (Odontophoridae), Colinus virginianus from Kentucky and Florida (USA) and Calipepla squamata from Texas (USA) (Kethley 1973; Casto 1976). Females of the Colinophilus, are large quill mites (total body length 1.100 µm), with large gnathosoma, well developed dorsal shields, ornamented dorsal setae; and with full compliment of body and leg setae. These plesiomorphic characters show similarity of this genus to the representants of the genus Syringophilus. C. wilsoni, was recorded from wide spectrum of microhabitats: primaries, secondaries, coverts, alulars, rectrices, but the primaries are the most commonly infested feathers (Casto 1976).Published as part of Skoracki, Maciej & Sikora, Bozena, 2011, Quill mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) associated with galliform birds (Aves: Galliformes), pp. 13-30 in Zootaxa 2966 on page 15, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27823

This species was originally described as Kalamotrypetes pavodaptes Casto collected ex Meleagris pavodaptes (Meleagridae) from Texas (USA) (Casto 1980).
