Interfaces to Scripting Languages in Visual Analytics Applications
Authors: Schmidt Johanna
Published: November 2020

The need to use data visualization and visual analysis in various fields has led to the development of feature-rich standalone applications such as Tableau and MS Power BI. These applications provide ready-to-use functionality for loading, analyzing and visualizing data, even for users who are not familiar with programming and scripting. Meanwhile, data scientists have to combine many different tools and techniques in their daily work, since no standalone application can yet cover the entire workflow. As a result, a rich landscape of open source libraries is available today, covering various tasks from data analysis to modeling and visualization. To combine the best of two worlds, interfaces for scripting languages have been integrated into standalone applications in recent years. We analyzed which interfaces to six common scripting languages are offered. The interfaces offer different levels of integration and therefore support different steps of the data science workflow. In this paper we investigated the integration levels of script languages in standalone applications and divided them into four groups. We used this classification to evaluate 13 standalone visual analysis applications currently available on the market. We then analyzed which groups of applications best support which steps in the data science workflow. We found that a tight integration of scripting languages can especially support the explorative analysis and modeling phase of the data science workflow. We also discuss our results in the light of visual analysis research and give suggestions for future research directions.

Auxilin (DNAJC6) is over-expressed in brain metastatic breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: November 2020

One study reported the incidence of central nervous system metastases in breast cancer patients treated with trastuzumab as 34% (1). We mined published microarray data (2, 3) to discover genes associated with brain metastasis in breast cancer. We identified significant differential expression of auxilin, a molecule with the ability to support assembly and disassembly of the clathrin-coated vesicle lattice (4, 5), encoded by DNAJC6, in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer. DNAJC6 may be relevant to the biology underlying colonization of the brain with metastatic breast cancer clones.

Published: November 2020

While the knowledge in neuroscience and the possibilities in clinical neurology have improved for many years, neurogenerative diseases and associated dementia remain a growing problem. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and also represents the most prevalent type of neurodegenerative diseases. For AD, disease-modifying treatments are presently lacking and the understanding of disease mechanisms remain incomplete. In the present review, we consider candidate contributing factors leading to AD and we evaluate novel computational brain simulation methods to further disentangle their potential roles. We first discuss existing computational models of AD that aim to provide a mechanistic understanding of the disease. Next, we outline the potential to link molecular aspects of neurodegeneration in AD with large-scale brain network modeling using The Virtual Brain (TVB, www.thevirtualbrain.org), an open-source, multi- scale, whole-brain simulation neuroinformatics platform. Finally, we discuss how this methodological approach may contribute to the understanding, improved diagnostics and treatment of AD.

Characterising Eye Movement Events With an Unsupervised Hidden Markov Model
Authors: Lüken Malte , Kucharský Šimon , Visser Ingmar
Published: November 2020

Eye-tracking allows researchers to infer cognitive processes from eye movements that are classified into distinct events. Parsing the events is typically done by algorithms. Previous algorithms have successfully used hidden Markov models (HMMs) for classification but can still be improved in several aspects. To address these aspects, we developed \texttt{gazeHMM}, an algorithm that uses an HMM as a generative model, has no critical parameters to be set by users, and does not require human coded data as input. The algorithm classifies gaze data into fixations, saccades, and optionally postsaccadic oscillations and smooth pursuits. We evaluated gazeHMM's performance in a simulation study, showing that it successfully recovered HMM parameters and hidden states. Parameters were less well recovered when we included a smooth pursuit state and/or added even small noise to simulated data. We applied generative models with different numbers of events to benchmark data. Comparing them indicated that HMMs with more events than expected had most likely generated the data. We also applied the full algorithm to benchmark data and assessed its similarity to human coding. For static stimuli, gazeHMM showed high similarity and outperformed other algorithms in this regard. For dynamic stimuli, gazeHMM tended to rapidly switch between fixations and smooth pursuits but still displayed higher similarity than other algorithms. Concluding that gazeHMM can be used in practice, we recommend parsing smooth pursuits only for exploratory purposes. Future HMM algorithms could use covariates to better capture eye movement processes and explicitly model event durations to classify smooth pursuits more accurately.
Subjects, Trials, and Levels: Statistical Power in Conjoint Experiments
Authors: Stefanelli Alberto , Lukac Martin
Published: November 2020

Despite the importance of power analysis for survey-experimental techniques, power considerations are often disregraded in the design of conjoint experiments. The main goal of this article is to provide rigorous guidance on how the number of experimental conditions, trials, and subjects impact the statistical power of conjoint experiments. To this end, we first conducted an extensive literature review to gauge the experimental designs typically employed in conjoint studies and the plausible effect sizes discovered in the literature. Using the information gather from the literature review, we explore the statistical properties of a wide range of commonly employed designs using a simulation-based framework that employs a flexible data generating model. Results show that—even with relatively large sample size and the number of trials—conjoint experiments are not well suited to draw inferences for designs with large numbers of experimental conditions (> 15) and relatively small effect sizes (< 1000). Based on our simulation results, we develop a web application that can be used by researches to perform a priori power analysis and hence achieve adequate design for future conjoint experiments.

The life course of homeless female Veterans: Qualitative study findings
Authors: Felder Stephanie , Delany Peter J.
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Homelessness among Veterans is a significant problem in the United States, and female Veterans, one of the fastest-growing groups in the homeless population, are four times more likely to become homeless than their male peers. The purpose of this article is to share findings of a qualitative study that examined the life course that created a pathway into homelessness for 14 female Veterans in the United States. Methods: Data were collected using a life history grid and semi-structured interview guide in two 90-minute face-to-face interviews with each participant. Qualitative content analysis of the interview transcripts was conducted to identify major themes across the lifespans of study participants. Results: Six major themes shared by the participants emerged: traumatic experiences across the lifespan, entering the military to escape circumstances, racism, gender-related discrimination and sexism, difficulty transitioning from military to Veteran status, and positive childhood experiences and proud moments during military service. Discussion: The findings suggest a range of policy, housing and service needs. The study demonstrates the unique experiences of female Veterans that require gender-specific responses. The female Veterans in this study experienced exposure to multiple traumatic events pre-military, during service, and post service. Female Veterans’ increased risk of becoming homeless indicates the need for practitioners to address mental health, substance use, re-integration stability, and other health care needs and use trauma-informed interventions to ensure high-quality care. Practitioners also need to be well-versed in military and Veteran culture to provide the linkages to care and support systems required by these Veterans.
Paternalist Liderlik Tarzı ve Örgütsel Özdeşleşme İlişkisinde Algılanan Yönetici Desteğinin Aracılık Etkisi
Authors: KARABULUT Ayşe , SEYMEN Oya
Published: November 2020

Örgütlerde paternalist liderlik örgütsel özdeşleşme ve yönetici desteği kavramları, gerek ayrı ayrı gerekse aralarındaki ilişkiler açısından giderek daha fazla inceleme konusu olmaktadır. Alanyazında, sözü edilen üç kavram da çeşitli değişkenlerle veya birbirleriyle araştırma konusu yapılmış olmasına rağmen, bu değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi konu alan çalışmaların sayısı yetersizdir. Ayrıca alanyazında bu üç değişkeni bir arada inceleyen bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bu nedenle, yapılan araştırmanın sonuçlarının alanyazına önemli bir katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmanın örneklemi, Ankara, Balıkesir ve Uşak’ta üretim sektöründe faaliyette bulunan fabrikalardan oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın verileri, anketler aracılığıyla toplanmış olup; bu kapsamda 453 anket analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı, paternalist liderlik tarzı ve örgütsel özdeşleşme arasındaki ilişkide, algılanan yönetici desteğinin aracılık etkisinin tespit edilmesidir. Yapılan analizlerin sonucuna göre; paternalist liderlik ile örgütsel özdeleşme arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ve bu ilişkide algılanan yönetici desteğinin kısmi aracılık etkisine sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışma, paternalist liderlik ile örgütsel özdeşleşme arasındaki ilişkide algılanan yönetici desteğinin kısmi aracılık etkisini göstererek, alanyazına önemli bir katkı sağlamıştır. Güç mesafesinin ve belirsizlikten kaçınmanın yüksek olduğu toplulukçu kültürlerde, paternalist liderlik çalışanlar tarafından benimsenen bir liderlik modelidir. Bu çalışmada da görüldüğü gibi, işgörenlerin kültürel değerleri ile liderlik tarzı arasındaki uyumun, destek algılarını ve özdeşleşme düzeylerini etkilediği söylenebilir.
Cumhuriyet Döneminde Türkiye’deki Ermenilerin Faaliyetleri (1923-1945)
Authors: ERAT Muhammet
Published: November 2020

Türkiye’de yaşayan Ermeniler, Cumhuriyet döneminde (1923-1945) ciddi anlamda zararlı bir faaliyet içerisinde olmamıştır. Aksine bazı olaylar karşısında olumlu tavır takınmışlardır. Bu dönemde başta Atatürk olmak üzere birçok Türk devlet adamına yapılan suikast girişimlerinde içerideki Ermenilerden ziyade dışarıdaki Ermenilerin rollerinin olduğu görülmüştür.

Cumhuriyet ilân edildikten sonra ülkedeki bütün vatandaşlar için yeni bir dönem başlamış, “millet sistemi”ne son verilerek, “ulus devlet” ve “vatandaşlık” sistemine geçilmiştir. Cumhuriyet rejimi, Ermeniler için dîni ihtiyaçları karşılamanın yanında, sosyal ve eğitim alanında da kendi gelenek ve göreneklerine uygun bir şekilde ihtiyaçlarını karşılayabilecekleri bir ortamı sağlamıştır. Ermenilerin Cumhuriyet döneminde Türk toplumu ile entegre olma gayretleri farklı şekillerde hızla devam etmiştir.

Cumhuriyet döneminde Ermeni asıllı yurttaşlar Türk kültürüne, sanatına ve basın yayın hayatına önemli katkılar yapmıştır. Bu dönemde Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nde görev alan Ermeni Milletvekilleri pek çok konuda çalışmalar yapmış, kanun teklifleri hazırlamış ve soru önergeleri vermiştir.

Türkiye’de yaşayan Ermenilerin büyük çoğunluğu 1923-1945 döneminde devletin aleyhine olacak tavırlar içerisine girmemiş ve ülkede yaşayan diğer vatandaşlar gibi üzerine düşen sorumlulukları yerine getirerek ülkenin gelişmesine ve kalkınmasına önemli katkılar yapmıştır.

Twenty-five Years of Trauma Treatment: What Have We Learned?
Authors: Fisher Janina
Published: November 2020

The concept that traumatic events and subsequent traumatic stress are central to many types of psychological symptoms and difficulties is a relatively new idea in the mental health field. Post-traumatic stress disorder was not included as a condition in any diagnostic system until the DSM-III was published in 1980 (APA, 1980). Over the years, the development of treatment models that could address the consequences of trauma and traumatic attachment, rather than simply the events, has been steadily growing. The advent of brain scan technology and its effect on neuroscience research finally allowed researchers to explain the puzzling and long-lasting effects of traumatic experience. The field of traumatology has grown beyond the early focus on narration of traumatic events to treatment methods informed by an understanding of how overwhelming events and frightened or frightening caregiving leave a legacy of animal defence survival responses that often persist for decades. Incorporating the newer body-oriented and mindfulness-based approaches into the treatment can increase the effectiveness of relational models of psychotherapy with traumatised patients.

Generation of reactive oxygen species signiﬁcantly contributes to the pathogenesis of acute renal failure (ARF) induced by myoglobin release. Ginsenosides (GS), the principal active ingredients of ginseng, is considered as an extremely good antioxidative composition of Chinese traditional and herbal drugs. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the protective effect of ginsenoside in rats with ARF on the changes of cholinergic nervous system in the kidney as well as on the involvement of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in the hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei (PVN). In our assay, glycerol-induced acute renal failure in rats was employed to study the protective effects of ginsenoside. Our results indicated that the treatment of ARF rats with ginsenosides for 48 h significantly reduced lipid peroxidation, restored the superoxide dismutase (SOD) level. Meanwhile, the obvious increase of choline acetyltransferase-immunoreactivity (ChAT-IR) in the proximal convoluted tubular cells (PCT) was observed by immunohistochemistry in ARF+GS group. The same effect was also observed in the changes of p-ERK1/2-IR in the hypothalamic paraventricular nuclei. Our results suggest that ginsenoside administered orally may have a strong renal protective effect against glycerol-induced ARF, reduce the renal oxidative stress, and ginsenoside can also activate the cholinergic system in PCT, simultaneously MAPK signal pathway in the PVN was also activated.
Laser solitons: topological and quantum phenomena
Authors: Veretenov N A , Rosanov N N , Fedorov S V
Published: November 2020

A review of the properties of dissipative solitons with different dimensions and various topological characteristics in lasers and laser systems with saturable absorption is presented. Unlike conservative solitons, laser solitons are attractors, the increased stability of which is caused by the balance of energy inflow and outflow. The topology of laser solitons is due to their complex internal structure, which is determined by the field of radiation energy fluxes, and the energy characteristics are an important addition to the topological characteristics. The equation of their dynamics — the generalized Ginzburg – Landau equation — reflects the basic features of open nonlinear systems of various natures. The topological features of solitons expand the range of manifestations of their quantum fluctuations.
A West Texas County Food Insecurity Survey Findings
Authors: Brown Jay , Huang Floyd , Brown Ji’ Lynda
Published: November 2020

Despite living in the world’s largest food-producing nation, children and adults face poverty and hunger in every county across America. According to Feeding America [1], more than 38 million Americans are living in poverty. More than 37 million people struggle with hunger in this country, including more than 11 million children. 1 in every 9 Americans are food insecure. The situation is even worse in the state of Texas where 1 in every 7 Texans are food insecure. This makes Texas one of just 15 states with higher food insecurity than the national average [2]. In 2018, The Tom Green County Hunger Coalition (TGCHC) conducted a Food Access Survey (FAS) to help determine areas of need regarding food assistance in the city of San Angelo, Texas. The 328 respondents were divided into two groups (Food Secure and Food Insecure) based on their responses and compared. There were significant differences found between the two groups in regards to their age, household size, housing tenure, access, and assistance.
Impact of Long-Term Cryopreservation on Blood Immune Cell Markers in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Implications for Biomarker Discovery
Authors: Gómez-Mora Elisabet , Carrillo Jorge , Urrea Víctor , Rigau Josepa , Alegre José , Cabrera Cecilia , Oltra Elisa , Castro-Marrero Jesús , Blanco Julià
Published: November 2020

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex neuroimmune disorder characterized by numerous symptoms of unknown etiology. The ME/CFS immune markers reported so far have failed to generate a clinical consensus, perhaps partly due to the limitations of biospecimen biobanking. To address this issue, we performed a comparative analysis of the impact of long-term biobanking on previously identified immune markers and also explored additional potential immune markers linked to infection in ME/CFS. A correlation analysis of marker cryostability across immune cell subsets based on flow cytometry immunophenotyping of fresh blood and frozen PBMC samples collected from individuals with ME/CFS (n = 18) and matched healthy controls (n = 18) was performed. The functionality of biobanked samples was assessed on the basis of cytokine production assay after stimulation of frozen PBMCs. T cell markers defining Treg subsets and the expression of surface glycoprotein CD56 in T cells and the frequency of the effector CD8 T cells, together with CD57 expression in NK cells, appeared unaltered by biobanking. By contrast, NK cell markers CD25 and CD69 were notably increased, and NKp46 expression markedly reduced, by long-term cryopreservation and thawing. Further exploration of Treg and NK cell subsets failed to identify significant differences between ME/CFS patients and healthy controls in terms of biobanked PBMCs. Our findings show that some of the previously identified immune markers in T and NK cell subsets become unstable after cell biobanking, thus limiting their use in further immunophenotyping studies for ME/CFS. These data are potentially relevant for future multisite intervention studies and cooperative projects for biomarker discovery using ME/CFS biobanked samples. Further studies are needed to develop novel tools for the assessment of biomarker stability in cryopreserved immune cells from people with ME/CFS.

Malt barley is one of the promising crops in Greece, mainly due to high yields and contract farming, which have led to an increase in malt barley acreage. Net form net blotch (NFNB), caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres, and barley leaf scald, caused by Rhynchosporium secalis, are among the most important barley diseases worldwide and particularly in Greece. Their occurrence in malt barley can exert a significant negative effect on malt barley grain yield and quality. An experimental trial across two growing seasons was implemented in Greece in order (i) to estimate the epidemiology of NFNB and leaf scald in a barley disease-free area when the initial inoculation of the field occurs through infected seeds, (ii) to explore the spatial dynamics of disease spread under the interaction of the nitrogen rate and genotype when there are limited sources of infected host residues in the soil and (iii) to assess the relationship among the nitrogen rate, grain yield, quality variables (i.e., grain protein content and grain size) and disease severity. It was confirmed that both NFNB and leaf scald can be carried over from one season to the next on infected seed under Mediterranean conditions. However, the disease severity was more pronounced after the barley tillering phase when the soil had been successfully inoculated, which supports the hypothesis that the most important source of primary inoculum for NFNB comes from infected host residue. Increasing the rate of nitrogen application, when malt barley was cultivated in the same field for a second year in a row, caused a non-significant increase in disease severity for both pathogens from anthesis onwards. However, hotspot and commonality analyses revealed that spatial and genotypic effects were mainly responsible for hiding this effect. In addition, it was found that the effect of disease infections on yield, grain size and grain protein content varied in relation to the genotype, pathogen and stage of crop development. The importance of crop residues in the evolution of both diseases was also highlighted.

Perennial ryegrass is generally known as exhibiting poor drought tolerance with poor recuperative capacity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of acute drought followed by a recovery period, on 11 perennial ryegrass varieties (Apple SGL, Azimuth, Barrage, Caddieshack, Double, Double Time, Ecologic, New Orleans, Pizzaz 2, Rainwater, Turfgold) and one tall fescue (Olympic Gold). The study was conducted in a rain-out structure to control water inputs. Green cover percentage, visual quality, color, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and soil moisture were measured weekly. Eighty percent coverage was considered optimal and was reached only during the first two weeks of the drought period. Starting from the fourth week, a significant decrease in green cover was observed for most of the perennial ryegrass cultivars. However, 5 cultivars displayed a visual quality rate greater than 6, which is considered acceptable during this period, while color ratings were recorded greater than 6 for 7 cultivars. At the end of the drought phase, the cultivar ’New Orleans’ exhibited significantly greater green cover compared to most other perennial ryegrasses. The recovery of the grasses was slow and at the end of the experiment the variability in green cover between cultivars was greater than during the first week.

There has been increased interest in phytoestrogens due to their potential effect in reducing the risk of developing cancer and cardiovascular disease. To evaluate phytoestrogens’ exposure, sensitive and accurate methods should be developed for their quantification in food and human matrices. The present study aimed to validate a comprehensive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for the quantification of 16 phytoestrogens: Biochanin A, secoisolariciresinol, matairesinol, enterodiol, enterolactone, equol, quercetin, genistein, glycitein, luteolin, naringenin, kaempferol, formononetin, daidzein, resveratrol and coumestrol, in food, serum and urine. Phytoestrogen extraction was performed by solid-phase extraction (food and serum) and liquid-liquid extraction (urine), and analyzed by LC diode-array detector (DAD) coupled with a single quadrupole MS with electrospray ionization (ESI) in negative mode. Validation included selectivity, sensibility, recovery, accuracy and precision. The method was proved to be specific, with a linear response (r2 ≥ 0.97). Limits of quantification were 0.008–3.541 ng/mL for food, 0.01–1.77 ng/mL for serum and 0.003–0.251 ng/mL for urine. Recoveries were 66–113% for food, 63–104% for serum and 76–111% for urine. Accuracy and precision were below 15% (except for enterodiol in food with 18% and resveratrol in urine with 15.71%). The method is suitable for the quantification of a wide number of phytoestrogens in food, serum and urine. The method was successfully applied in highly consumed food items (n = 6) from North Mexico and biofluids from healthy women (n = 10).

Previous studies regarding malloapelta B (malB), a natural compound isolated from the Vietnamese medicinal plant, showed a strong NF-κB inhibitory effect, making it a promising source for the development of novel anticancer drugs. However, similar to many other natural compounds from plants, malB has several disadvantages for clinical applications, including high toxicity and low solubility. To improve its bioavailability, malB was conjugated into nanoliposomes, which are ideal drug carriers. The formulations with 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, mPEG-cholesterol, malB, with or without cholesterol exhibited nanoliposomes with an average diameter of approximately 76.98 nm, PDI of 0.28, zeta potential of −5.53 mV, and the highest encapsulation efficiency of 78.73% ± 9.5%. These malB-nanoliposomes inhibited the survival of all lung cancer cell lines examined with IC50 values ranging from 11.86 to 13.12 µM. Moreover, malB-nanoliposomes showed stronger inhibition of A549 colony-forming activity compared to that of the free compound. The effects of malB and its nanoliposomal formulation may be mediated through activation of apoptosis by the significant induction of caspase 3 activity. The nanoliposomal formulations also showed potential to inhibit tumor growth (37.03%) and prolong survival (32.20 days) of tumor-bearing mice compared with the unloaded drug (p < 0.05). The improved antitumor activity of malB-nanoliposomes suggests their promising clinical applications.

Wood dust poses a threat to the health of employees and the risk of explosion and fire, accelerates the wear of machines, worsens the quality of processing, and requires large financial outlays for its removal. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which the grit size of sandpaper influences the size of the wood dust particles and the proportion of the finest particles which, when dispersed in the air, may constitute the respirable fraction. Six species of hardwood (beech, oak, ash, hornbeam, alder, and walnut), and three species of softwood (larch, pine, and spruce) were used in the research. While sanding the samples under the established laboratory conditions, the following were measured for two types of sandpapers (grit sizes P60 and P180): mean arithmetic particle size of dust and finest dust particles content (<10 µm). Based on the obtained results, we found that the largest dust particle sizes were obtained for alder, pine, and spruce; the smallest size of dust particles during sanding with both sandpapers was obtained for beech, hornbeam, oak, ash, larch, and walnut. The mean arithmetic particle sizes ranged from 327.98 µm for pine to 104.23 µm for hornbeam. The mean particle size of the dust obtained with P60 granulation paper was 1.4 times larger than that of the dust obtained with P180 granulation sandpaper. The content of the finest dust particles ranged from 0.21% for pine (P60 sandpaper) to 12.58% for beech (P180 sandpaper).The type of wood (hardwood or softwood) has a significant influence on the particle size and the content of the finest dust fraction.
Assessment of in-Plane Behavior of Metal Compressed Members with Equivalent Geometrical Imperfection

Published: November 2020

A new procedure was presented with the objective of proving that it is the generalization of current attempts in designing compressed members and structures which is able to solve cases where other authors have problems. It is the further development of the former methods published by Chladný, Baláž, Agüero et al., which are based on the shape of the elastic critical buckling mode of the structure. Chladný’s method was accepted by CEN/TC 250 working groups creating Eurocodes. Both current Eurocodes EN 1993-1-1:2005 and EN 1999-1-1:2007 in their clauses 5.3.2(11) enable applying the geometrical equivalent unique global and local initial (UGLI) imperfection. The imperfection has the shape of the elastic critical buckling mode with amplitude defined in 5.3.2(11). UGLI imperfection is an alternative to the global sway and local bow initial imperfections defined in 5.3.2(3) and to the imperfections described in the clause 5.3.2(6). The determination of the location and value of UGLI imperfection proved to be onerous by some authors, especially in cases of members with variable cross-sections or/and axial forces. The paper also provides for special cases a procedure to detect the critical cross-section along the member which is defined as the one in which the utilization factor obtains maximum values. The new approach is validated by the investigation of five complex structures made of steel and one made of aluminum alloy solved by other authors. Comparisons of the results with those of other authors and with the Geometrically and Materially Nonlinear Analysis with Imperfections (GMNIA) results showed very good agreements with negligible differences. The information concerning the differences between current Eurocodes EN 1993-1-1:2005 and EN 1999-1-1:2007 is provided. Working drafts of Eurocodes of new generation prEN 1993-1-1:2020 and prEN 1999-1-1:2020 are also commented on.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with a number of cardiovascular comorbidities, including hypertension, heart rate (HR) alterations, cardiac arrhythmias, endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis. HR, in particular, is an important sign correlated with cardiac stress and survival. Previous investigations on the effects of mandibular advancement device (MAD) therapy on HR resulted in contradictory findings. The aim of the present retrospective cohort study was to evaluate the effects of MAD therapy with a fully customizable appliance on respiratory and cardiovascular parameters. Fifty adult consecutive cases with mild to severe OSA underwent split-night polysomnography (SN-PSG) at baseline (T0) and after three months of MAD treatment (T1), after appropriate titration. The apnea/hypopnea index (AHI), 4% oxygen desaturation index (ODI) and HR (average, minimum and maximum) values are recorded at T0 and at T1 and statistically compared. The AHI and ODI values improved after three months of MAD treatment. The minimum HR increased after treatment, while the maximum HR decreased after treatment. MAD treatment with a fully customizable appliance was effective in improving breathing and cardiovascular parameters in adult patients with mild to severe OSA.
