“…It was formed in 1976 from the effluent of the Svartsengi geothermal power plant (Pétursdóttir & Kristjánsson, 1997). The lagoon water has an average temperature of about 37 °C, a pH of 7.5 and a salt content of 2.5% (Kazandjieva & al., 2008). The salinity of the water indicates that it is composed of 65% seawater and 35% freshwater (Grether-Beck & al., 2008).…”

From field-collected samples, two Icelandic diatom species were studied under light and electron microscopy, resulting in a newly described species and an emended description with a nomenclatural status change. A discussion on the morphological features of these taxa and their taxonomic affinities with related species is presented. Nitzschia imae is described from Blue Lagoon, south-west Iceland. The main diagnostic criteria include the presence of two differences morphotypes, one with obtusely rounded apices and the other with slightly asymmetrical valve outline and broadly rounded apices. Additionally, we propose an emended description for Hannaea arcus var. linearis since there is no concordance between morphometric features in the protologue and the type illustration. A partir de muestras obtenidas en el campo, se han estudiado dos especies de diatomeas de Islandia mediante microscopía óptica y electrónica, siendo descrita una de ellas como nueva para la ciencia y realizándose una descripción enmendada y un cambio nomenclatural para la segunda. Se presenta una discusión de las características morfológicas de estos táxones y sus afinidades taxonómicas con especies similares. Nitzschia imae es descrita en la Laguna Azul, en el suroeste de Islandia. Los principales criterios de diagnóstico incluyen la presencia de dos diferentes morfotipos de la especie, uno con ápices apuntados y otro con forma valvar ligeramente asimétrica y ápices redondeados. Adicionalmente, se propone una descripción enmendada de Hannaea arcus var. linearis ya que no hay concordancia entre las características morfométricas propuestas en el protólogo y la ilustración del tipo del taxón.

SUMMARYBalneotherapy, although not a well-established dermatological treatment, is thought to have therapeutic properties for psoriasis and is used as an alternative treatment modality throughout the world. Balneotherapy refers to immersion in baths or pools of thermomineral water. This treatment offers a natural, multifactorial, complementary, and nontoxic alternative to the traditional pharmacologic treatments of psoriasis. The major dermatologic diseases that are frequently treated by balneotherapy with a high rate of success are psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Although a majority of clinical studies have used hypertonic Dead Sea water combined with phototherapy, Kangal Hot Spring is an important balneotherapy center in Turkey.
