A new family of soft underwater propellers has been recently presented. Mimicking the swimming strategy bacterial flagella, these modules passively adapt to surrounding fluid provide a propulsive thrust. In present paper we aim at further investigating behaviour this device and address optimization its design towards improved capabilities. This process is allowed by an accurate, yet simple, the...

Flagellate linear hyperpigmentation can rarely be caused by the chemotherapy agent, bleomycin. Herein, we describe the case of a 20-year-old woman treated with bleomycin for an ovarian yolk sac tumor and review the prominent features of this form of dermatitis.

Since the number of studies on phytoplankton Serranía de Cuenca (central Spain) has been scarce, this is an attempt to increase our knowledge by describing physico-chemistry, flora and biomass seven stagnant environments in summer. They are located a karstic depopulated area where abandonment crops livestock resulted decreasing human impacts. As result, flagellate-rich taxa indicating clean wat...

The vast increase in the population density of the rumen flagellate Neocallimastix frontalis shortly after the host animal has commenced eating is caused by stimulation of a reproductive body on a vegetative phase of the organism to differentiate and liberate the flagellates. The stimulant is a component of the host's diet. The vegetative stage of N. frontalis bears a strong morphological resem...

Shiitake dermatitis is a rare eruption that associated with the ingestion of uncooked shiitake mushrooms, resulting in distinctive flagellate erythema. It was initially hypothesised mechanism disease related to toxic reaction lentinan; however, recent evidence has suggested potential allergic mechanism. The authors herein present case and review current understanding pathogenesis this condition...
