(M. W. Brown). Sainouroidea is a molecularly diverse clade of cercozoan flagellates and amoebae in the eukaryotic supergroup Rhizaria. Previous 18S rDNA environmental sequencing of globally collected fecal and soil samples revealed great diversity and high sequence divergence in the Sainouroidea. However, a very limited amount of this diversity has been observed or described. The two described genera of amoebae in this clade are Guttulinopsis, which displays aggregative multicellularity, and Rosculus, which does not. Although the identity of Guttulinopsis is straightforward due to the multicellular fruiting bodies they form, the same is not true for Rosculus, and the actual identity of the original isolate is unclear. Here we isolated amoebae with morphologies like that of Guttulinopsis andRosculus from many environments and analyzed them using 18S rDNA sequencing, light microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. We define a molecular species concept for Sainouroidea that resulted in the description of 4 novel genera and 12 novel species of naked amoebae. Aggregative fruiting is restricted to the genus Guttulinopsis, but other than this there is little morphological variation amongst these taxa. Taken together, simple identification of these amoebae is problematic and potentially unresolvable without the 18S rDNA sequence.
Iron-sulfur cluster proteins are involved in critical functions for gene expression regulation and mitochondrial bioenergetics including the oxidative phosphorylation system. The c.215G>A p.(Arg72Gln) variant in NFS1 has been previously reported to cause infantile mitochondrial complex II and III deficiency. We describe three additional unrelated patients with the same missense variant. Two infants with the
BACKGROUND WalkIT Arizona was a 2x2 factorial trial examining the effects of goal type (adaptive vs. static) and reinforcement (immediate vs. delayed) to increase moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) among insufficiently active adults. The 12-month intervention combined mobile health (mHealth) technology with behavioral strategies to test scalable population-health approaches to increasing MVPA. Self-reported physical activity provided domain-specific information to help contextualize the intervention effects. OBJECTIVE This study reports secondary outcomes of self-reported walking for transportation and leisure over the course of the 12-month WalkIT intervention. METHODS Participants (N=512, 64% women, 19-60 yrs old, 84% Non-Hispanic White, 18% Hispanic) were randomized into goal type and reinforcement type interventions. The IPAQ-long form assessed walking for transportation and leisure at baseline, months 6 and 12 during the intervention. Negative binomial hurdle models examined the effects of goal and reinforcement types on 1) odds of reporting any (versus no) walking and 2) total reported minutes of walking/week, adjusting for neighborhood walkability and socioeconomic status. Separate analyses were conducted for transportation and leisure walking, and with complete cases and using multiple imputation. RESULTS All intervention groups reported increased walking at 12-months relative to baseline. Effects of the intervention differed by domain: a significant three-way goal by reinforcement by time interaction was observed for total minutes of leisure walking/week, whereas time was the only significant factor that contributed to transportation walking. A sensitivity analysis indicated minimal differences between complete case analysis and multiple imputation. CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to report differential effects of adaptive vs. static goals for self-reported walking by domain. Results support the premise that individual level PA-interventions are domain and context-specific and may be helpful in guiding further intervention refinement. CLINICALTRIAL Preregistered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT02717663). INTERNATIONAL REGISTERED REPORT RR2-10.1016/j.cct.2019.05.001

Self-reported physical activity provided domain-specific information to help contextualize the intervention effects. Objective The aim of this study was to report on the secondary outcomes of self-reported walking for transportation and leisure over the course of the 12-month WalkIT intervention. Methods A total of 512 participants aged 19 to 60 years (n=330 [64.5%] women; n=425 [83%] Caucasian/white, n=96 [18.8%] Hispanic/Latinx) were randomized into interventions based on type of goals and reinforcements. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-long form assessed walking for transportation and leisure at baseline, and at 6 months and 12 months of the intervention. Negative binomial hurdle models were used to examine the effects of goal and reinforcement type on (1) odds of reporting any (versus no) walking/week and (2) total reported minutes of walking/week, adjusted for neighborhood walkability and socioeconomic status. Separate analyses were conducted for transportation and leisure walking, using complete cases and multiple imputation. Results All intervention groups reported increased walking at 12 months relative to baseline.

A sensitivity analysis indicated minimal differences between complete case analysis and multiple imputation. Conclusions This study is the first to report differential effects of adaptive versus static goals for self-reported walking by domain. Results support the premise that individual-level PA interventions are domain- and context-specific and may be helpful in guiding further intervention refinement.
