    Abstract The genus Baezia Alonso-Zarazaga & García, 1999 is endemic to the Canary Islands, where four species were known to date. Based on morphological evidence, three new species of Baezia are described in this study: Baezia aranfaybo García & López, sp. nov. from El Hierro island, and Baezia madai García & Oromí sp. nov. and Baezia tizziri García & Andújar, sp. nov. from La Palma island. Notes on their biology, habitat, and distribution are presented. The number of taxa in this endemic Canarian genus increases to seven eyeless species. One species has been reported from the soil (endogean environment), with the other six associated with caves and the mesovoid shallow substratum (hypogean or subterranean environment). Frequent association with the presence of roots suggests that species of Baezia may inhabit the continuum represented by the endogean and hypogean environments. Identification key to the seven species are provided.

    Abstract This study examines the accuracy of the self-report of up-to-date cancer screening behaviors (Mammography, Papanicolaou (Pap)/Human Papillomavirus (HPV) tests, Fecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT)/Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), Colonoscopy) compared to medical record documentation prior to eligibility determination and enrollment in a randomized controlled trial of an intervention to increase cancer screening among women living in rural counties of Indiana and Ohio. Women (n = 1,641) completed surveys and returned a medical record release form from November 2016-June 2019. We compared self-report to medical records for up-to-date cancer screening behaviors to determine the validity of self-report. Logistic regression models identified variables associated with accurate reporting. Women were up-to-date for mammography (75 %), Pap/HPV test (54 %), colonoscopy (53 %), and FOBT/FIT (6 %) by medical record. Although 39.6 % of women reported being up-to-date for all three anatomic sites (breast, cervix, and colon), only 31.8 % were up to date by medical records. Correlates of accurate reporting of up-to-date cancer screening varied by screening test. Approximately-one-third of women in rural counties in the Midwest are up-to-date for all three anatomic sites and correlates of the accurate reporting of screening varied by test. Although most investigators use medical records to verify completion of cancer screening behaviors as the primary outcome of intervention trials, they do not usually use medical records for the routine verification of study eligibility. Study results suggest that future research should use medical record documentation of cancer screening behaviors to determine eligibility for trials evaluating interventions to increase cancer screening.
