Abstract
Pulmonary disease, lower respiratory tract infection, and pneumonia are the largest causes of morbidity and mortality in individuals with Down syndrome (DS), but whether pulmonary diagnoses in children with DS are common and occur independently of cardiac disease and pulmonary hypertension (PH) is unknown. Cardiopulmonary phenotypes were examined in a cohort of 1248 children with DS. Aptamer-based proteomic analysis of blood was performed in a subset (n = 120) of these children. By the age of 10 years, half of the patients in this cohort (n = 634, 50.8%) had co-occurring pulmonary diagnoses. That proteins and related pathways were distinct between children with pulmonary diagnoses and those with cardiac disease and/or PH may indicate that pulmonary diagnoses appear to occur independently of cardiac disease and PH. Heparin sulfate-glycosaminoglycandegradation, nicotinate metabolism, and elastic fiber formation were ranked highest in the group with pulmonary diagnoses.

Abstract
Children with Down syndrome (DS) exhibit higher overweight and obesity rates than their typically developing peers, although it is unknown whether parent feeding practices for children with DS are associated with child weight status or parental and demographic factors, especially in the Hispanic and Latino populations. A prospective study of 68 children with DS from 2 to 7 years of age, who received care at a single, large, pediatric academic hospital was conducted to evaluate parent child feeding practices. Parents completed the Child Feeding Questionnaire+ (CFQ+) assessing seven primary factors of feeding practices and comparisons to children without DS were conducted. Data for body mass index (BMI) and BMI-for-sex/age z score (BMIz scores) were collected in clinic at the time of CFQ+ completion for both parent and child. Parents of children with DS endorsed higher perceived responsibility but lower concern about child weight and restriction compared to previously reported feeding practices in typically developing children. Hispanic/Latino parents of children with DS reported higher perceived responsibility and monitoring than non-Hispanic/Latino parents of children with DS. Higher BMIz scores in children with DS correlated with greater perceived child weight (p = 0.001) and concern about child weight (p = 0.008). Differences in BMIz scores were observed when comparing sex/ethnicity groups as determined by one-way ANOVA (F(3,64) = 4.170, p = 0.009); with Hispanic/Latino boys with DS more likely to have obesity. Our results suggest a need for specific DS Guidelines to educate providers and parents of children with DS on recommended feeding practices prior to parental concern about their child's weight, especially in the Hispanic/Latino population.

Abstract
The genus Tubakia is revised on the basis of morphological and phylogenetic data. The phylogenetic affinity of Tubakia to the family Melanconiellaceae (Diaporthales) was recently postulated, but new analyses based on sequences retrieved from material of the type species of Tubakia, T. dryina, support a family of its own, viz. Tubakiaceae fam. nov. Our phylogenetic analyses revealed the heterogeneity of Tubakia s. lat. which is divided into several genera, viz., Tubakia s. str., Apiognomonioides gen. nov. (type species: Apiognomonioides supraseptata), Involutiscutellula gen. nov. (type species: Involutiscutellula rubra), Oblongisporothyrium gen. nov. (type species: Oblongisporothyrium castanopsidis), Paratubakia gen. nov. (type species: Paratubakia subglobosa), Racheliella gen. nov. (type species: Racheliella wingfieldiana sp. nov.), Saprothyrium gen. nov. (type species: Saprothyrium thailandense) and Sphaerosporithyrium gen. nov. (type species: Sphaerosporithyrium mexicanum sp. nov.). Greeneria saprophytica is phylogenetically closely allied to Racheliella wingfieldiana and is therefore reallocated to Racheliella. Particular emphasis is laid on a revision and phylogenetic analyses of Tubakia species described from Japan and North America. Almost all North American collections of this genus were previously referred to as T. dryina s. lat., which is, however, a heterogeneous complex. Several new North American species have recently been described. The new species Sphaerosporithyrium mexicanum, Tubakia melnikiana and T. sierrafriensis, causing leaf spots on several oak species found in the North-Central Mexican state Aguascalientes and the North-Eastern Mexican state Nuevo León, are described, illustrated, and compared with similar species. Several additional new species are introduced, including Tubakia californica based on Californian collections on various species of the genera Chrysolepis, Notholithocarpus and Quercus, and T. dryinoides, T. oblongispora, T. paradryinoides, and Paratubakia subglobosoides described on the basis of Japanese collections. Tubakia suttoniana nom. nov., based on Dicarpella dryina, is a species closely allied to T. californica and currently only known from Europe. Tubakia dryina, type species of Tubakia, is epitypified, and the phylogenetic position and circumscription of Tubakia are clarified. A revised, supplemented key to the species of Tubakia and allied genera on the basis of conidiomata is provided.
