COVID-19 has infected millions of people and upended the lives of most humans on the planet. Researchers from across the psychological sciences have sought to document and investigate the impact of COVID-19 in myriad ways, causing an explosion of research that is broad in scope, varied in methods, and challenging to consolidate. Because policy and practice aimed at helping people live healthier and happier lives requires insight from robust patterns of evidence, this paper provides a rapid and thorough summary of high-quality studies available through early 2021 examining the mental health consequences of living through the COVID-19 pandemic. Our review of the evidence indicates that anxiety, depression, and distress increased in the early months of the pandemic. Meanwhile, suicide rates, life satisfaction, and loneliness remained largely stable throughout the first year of the pandemic. In response to these insights, we present seven recommendations (one urgent, two short-term, and four ongoing) to support mental health during the pandemic and beyond.

Background: Pain management of fractures in emergency room requires multimodal analgesia including nefopam. Oral or parenteral administration of this molecule can be performed. Aim of the study: The main aim of the study was to compare the efficiency of oral and intravenous nefopam in traumatic fracture pain, in emergency unit. Methods: A prospective, comparative, randomized study was conducted in Emergency Department of the Hospital University of J.R. Andrianavalona. This study was conducted in two groups (oral and intravenous groups) of patients presenting fracture pain, over a period of six months. The primary endpoint was the analgesic efficiency. Comparison and correlation tests were used (SigmaPlot® 10.0). Results: The study population was aged 29 [18 - 70] years, mostly men (sex ratio: 6.3). Oral nefopam significantly decreased the pain by 1.5 to 2 points. The decrease in pain intensity with oral nefopam was significant from 20th minute to 90th minute (p<0.05). Acetaminophen was associated with nefopam in 98% after the 20th minute. Tachycardia, dizziness and dry mouth were observed. Fewer adverse effects were observed with oral nefopam. Conclusion: Oral nefopam seems to be more efficient comparing to intravenous nefopam in fracture pain management in emergency room. This practice should be implemented in emergency multimodal analgesia by its ease and efficiency of use.

Background: With increasing number of international travellers taking flights and the need of stringent quarantine regulations across the globe in view of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become a mandatory requirement for many airlines and countries to have a COVID-19 RT-PCR Negative certificate for travellers within a time-specific period prior to boarding flights. Method: As the demand for RT-PCR testing in this group of asymptomatic well individuals who are planning to travel is increasing, they present to COVID testing centres for their swab tests, where suspected COVID patients also attend, thereby increasing the risk of exposure of these healthy people to possibly infected individuals. Hence, the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) in Qatar implemented “Drive-Thru” swabbing hubs to address this potential issue. We analysed the usefulness of this MOPH initiative and how it has helped tackle the challenge. Results and Conclusion: With a reduced risk of exposure for travellers to potentially suspected COVID-19 patients in COVID centres, the “Drive-Thru” swabbing hubs have been a pragmatic, welcome and wonderful initiative. This has contributed to curb the spread of COVID-19 by facilitating easy testing thereby alleviating anxiety in travellers as well as reducing the burden of an exponentially increasing number of travellers presenting to COVID centres.

Emisiones de CH4 y N2O en un arrozal: primeras medidas en el sistema productivo uruguayo
Authors: Irisarri Pilar , Pereyra Virginia , Fernández Ana , Terra José , Tarlera Silvana
Published: February 2021

Los arrozales son fuente de dos importantes gases de efecto invernadero (GEI), metano y óxido nitroso. Como un paso inicial hacia la obtención de información local, se midieron las emisiones de CH4 y N2O del suelo y de las plantas de arroz mediante la técnica de la cámara estática en experimentos en invernáculo y a campo en el este de Uruguay. En el experimento en invernáculo, se estudió el efecto del momento de inundación (21 y 45 días después de la emergencia) y de la fertilización nitrogenada (0 y 50 kg N ha-1) sobre las emisiones. La inundación temprana y la fertilización nitrogenada tendieron a aumentar las emisiones de N2O. En el experimento a campo, se estudió el efecto de la cobertura invernal y de la fertilización nitrogenada (0 y 82 kg N ha-1). Se detectaron mayores flujos de CH4 durante la etapa reproductiva de la planta en el tratamiento fertilizado con cobertura invernal previa de raigrás. El flujo de N2O fue máximo después de los baños. Los resultados indican que el uso del cultivo de cobertura podría incrementar las emisiones de GEI durante el ciclo del arroz. A pesar de las distintas prácticas de manejo del cultivo empleadas en Uruguay, los flujos de CH4 y N2O se encuentran dentro de los valores informados previamente para arrozales de otras partes del mundo.

El rendimiento potencial del cultivo de tomate para industria en el Uruguay según experimentos en el país es de 90 Mg ha-1 . En contraposición, la productividad promedio del cultivo a nivel comercial no supera los 50 Mg ha-1. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo determinar cuales son las causas principales que determinan las diferencias de rendimiento entre productores de tomate para industria, estableciendo un orden jerárquico de factores determinantes. Para esto, se realizó un análisis de los factores que afectaron el rendimiento en los sistemas de producción en la zafra 2007/08. La metodología se basó en un muestreo estratificado de productores. Se formó una muestra de 22 productores, en los cuales se relevaron variables relacionadas al sistema de producción, al sistema de manejo y se midió el rendimiento. Dichas variables se clasificaron en niveles para realizar el análisis de varianza y las que resultaron significativas se incluyeron en un modelo mixto. A partir del análisis, se concluyó que la variable que explicó en mayor medida las diferencias en rendimiento para la zafra en estudio fue el agua disponible (43% de la variación total). La aplicación de cama de pollo siguió en importancia y explicó el 21% de la variación de rendimiento. Otras variables significativas fueron la densidad de plantas y la variedad.

The aim of this work was to study the effect of fall defoliation and chemical application on the progression and release of dormancy, and phenology, of low-chill peach ‘Flordaking’ under temperate climate conditions. At the onset of leaf fall, ‘Flordaking’ peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) trees were defoliated or treated with hydrogen cyanamide (2.5 g L-1 a.i), norflurazon (46 g L-1 a.i.) or ethephon (20 mg L-1 a.i.). Untreated trees were used as the control. The rate of budbreak and the mean time to budbreak (MTB) was tested on stem isolates in a phytotron, whereas tree phenology and vegetative and reproductive traits were evaluated in a field experiment. Defoliation and chemical treatments significantly affected the rate of budbreak evolution of floral, but not of vegetative, buds. Treatments also significantly affected the evolution of the MTB of both vegetative and floral buds, but with a greater effect on the latter. In the field, the phenology of Flordaking was more affected by treatments that modified the depth of dormancy than those which affected the percentage of budbreak in excised shoots. Defoliation and hydrogen cyanamide treatments advanced sprouting (15 and ten days, respectively) and blooming (16 and four days, respectively), whereas ethephon delayed flowering and fruit set by three days each. Fall defoliation at the beginning of leaf abscission appears to be a strong tool to manipulate the evolution of dormancy and the time of spring bloom of Flordaking, mainly when insufficient chilling accumulation is forecasted.

Published: February 2021

La solarización es la cobertura hermética del suelo, humedecido a capacidad de campo con polietileno transparente ultravioleta (UV) durante un tiempo variable. Mediante la captura de energía solar se aumenta la temperatura del suelo, perjudicando las semillas de malezas anuales. Esta técnica fue evaluada en almácigos de cebolla con excelentes resultados por INIADIGEGRA-FAGRO en 2005-2006 en tres localidades. En 2006-2007 y 2007-2008 en INIA Las Brujas se estudió el efecto de la solarización con dos espesores de polietileno transparente ultravioleta, 35 y 80 µm, frente a un testigo no solarizado sobre la población de malezas y la calidad del plantín. El suelo se cubrió el 17/12/06 y el 3/12/07 y se registró la temperatura a 10 cm de profundidad. El 30/4/07 y 16/04/08 se sembraron almácigos del cultivar Pantanoso del Sauce-CRS de 5 m de largo con cuatro filas. Se evaluó número/m2 , peso fresco y seco de malezas, altura, diámetro, peso fresco y seco de 10 plantines, contenido de nitratos y de amonio del suelo después de solarizar y la sanidad de los plantines (mancha de hoja, Botrytis spp.). El tratamiento no solarizado presentó significativamente mayor infestación y peso seco de malezas que los solarizados y menor contenido de nitratos y de amonio. Los tratamientos solarizados presentaron mejor sanidad que los no solarizados. No se observaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el control de malezas ni en la calidad del plantín entre los espesores de polietileno pero sí entre éstos y el no solarizado.

Published: February 2021

Concentrations of soluble carbohydrates were analysed during storage in three onion cultivars (Allium cepa L.): Valcatorce INTA, Grano Oro (both with brown skin) and Antartica INTA (with white skin). These cultivars are produced in the Low Valley Negro River, to internal and external market. Carbohydrates were assessed by Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID), based in methanol-water extraction 80%. The ANOVA revealed highly significant difference (P<0.001) between cultivars and glucose, fructose, and total carbohydrates. Total sugar compositions throughout storage have scarcely increased after eight weeks and varied within cultivars (P < 0.05). The ratio monosaccharide to disaccharide had a significant cultivar effect (P < 0.001), and over twelve weeks of storage was monosaccharide domineering. Valcatorce INTA had the higest ratio (17.5-13.2); Grano Oro intermediate (12.1-10.9), and Antartica INTA the lowest (4.7-3.5). There was a peak of sucrose level that would be announcing the onset of sprouting four weeks post harvest, which was significantly different for Valcatorce and Antártica (Tukey test P<0.05), and was not significantly different for Grano Oro. These results are evidence of quantitative differences of sugars, due mainly to genetic factors. The implications of quality and storability are discussed.

Los modelos de simulación pueden ser considerados como herramientas de aprendizaje –según la idea del «simulador de vuelo»– donde los usuarios se beneficiarían por experimentar con situaciones posibles, más aún si son construidos en forma participativa con los potenciales interesados. El Instituto Plan Agropecuario (IPA) desarrolló un modelo para representar a una explotación ganadera criadora extensiva sobre un suelo representativo de basalto: el MEGanE (Modelo de una Explotación Ganadera Extensiva). Los resultados de la simulación, tanto fitotécnicos como zootécnicos muestran gran coherencia con resultados de investigación nacional. Asimismo, el MEGanE pudo reproducir una situación de crisis forrajera conocida, con resultados coherentes a una realidad posible. El MEGanE fue diseñado para transmitir conceptos, con términos de fácil comprensión por los usuarios.

Published: February 2021

Las sequías agronómicas son un problema histórico y de creciente importancia para la ganadería pastoril del Uruguay y la región. Sin embargo, no está caracterizada para Uruguay la evolución histórica de este fenómeno y sus impactos. El índice de bienestar hídrico (IBH) es la relación entre la evapotranspiración real de una pastura y la evapotranspiración potencial y se utiliza para caracterizar las condiciones hídricas. El objetivo de este trabajo fue caracterizar la frecuencia, intensidad y duración de sequías agronómicas en dos localidades de importancia ganadera del país: Salto (31°40’S; 57°97’O) y Treinta y Tres (33°22’S; 54°39’O). Se utilizó información mensual observada de precipitación (1948-2010) y de evapotranspiración potencial climatológica (1961-1990), para realizar balances hídricos en dos suelos. Se calculó el IBH y se caracterizaron los eventos de deficiencias hídricas para todo el año y por estaciones. Se realizó el análisis de Mann-Kendall para determinar la existencia de tendencias. En verano fue más frecuente la situación de restricción de agua para todos los suelos y lugares. En primavera se encontraron diferencias entre los suelos y en otoño se observó una situación más restrictiva en Treinta y Tres. La probabilidad de ocurrencia de sequías fue inferior al 15 % para cualquier época y sitio. La mayoría de los períodos de sequías afectaron a ambos lugares, presentando una duración de 4 ó 5 meses. El análisis de Mann-Kendall mostró que no existe una tendencia de aumento de sequías ni de su intensidad en los últimos 62 años.
Incidencia de la intensidad de lluvia en el tiempo de concentración de microcuencas del Uruguay
Authors: Bentancor Lisette , Silveira Luis , García Petillo Mario
Published: February 2021

Los métodos de diseño hidrológico buscan representar la respuesta de una cuenca frente a una tormenta, determinando el hidrograma de crecida. El tiempo de concentración (tc) es un parámetro que refleja la distribución temporal del hidrograma de caudal y valores característicos como el máximo caudal, requerido para el diseño de obras hidráulicas como tajamares. La precisión del diseño es sensible a la exactitud con que se determina este parámetro. Sin embargo, las ecuaciones que se utilizan en el Uruguay para estimar el tc, no han sido contrastadas con observaciones en cuencas nacionales. Con el objetivo de evaluar el ajuste de diferentes ecuaciones empíricas, se compararon los tc estimados empíricamente y los observados a partir del análisis de hidrogramas e hietogramas medidos, y se analizó su relación con la intensidad de la lluvia y su recurrencia. Se compararon tres ecuaciones en 68 eventos, en cuatro microcuencas de usos contrastantes, con superficies entre 69 y 212 ha. Los tc observados variaron con: i) la intensidad de la lluvia para períodos de retorno menores a cinco años, a diferencia de las ecuaciones utilizadas habitualmente, que establecen un valor constante, y ii) la cobertura para intensidades de lluvia inferiores a 60 mm h-1, límite a partir del cual no se observaron diferencias entre coberturas. Se proponen ecuaciones para el cálculo de tc, ajustadas con base en los tc observados en cuencas nacionales, notándose que los períodos de retorno asociados a los eventos disponibles no son lo suficientemente altos para el diseño de obras.

Published: February 2021

Sialolithiasis or “salivary lithiasis” is a pathological condition that involves the formation of calcified
concrements within the gland parenchyma and its ductal system of the main salivary glands of the head and
neck area. Various theories of lithogenesis have been reported, but the etiology of sialoliths still remains
unclear. The aim of this case report was to evaluate the biochemical composition and the surface
morphology of a sialolith using energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron
microscopy (SEM). SEM images of the sialolith detected a concentric laminar architecture of the sialolith’s
core surrounded by radial structures that are arranged from the center to the periphery of the sialolith. EDX
analysis detected a high percentage of carbon in the central area of the sialolith, indicating the abundance
of organic materials. Structures corresponding to a foreign body or bacteria were not detected in any area.
Thus, the sialolith presented a mixed genesis, and the increased presence of organic substances over
inorganic ones suggests its phlogistic nature.

Minilaparotomy hysterectomy Versus laparoscopic hysterectomy for benign uterine lesions A Comparative study
Authors: El-Dorf Ayman
Published: February 2021

Background: Hysterectomy is world wide's second most commonly done gynecological surgery, second only to the caesarean section. There is no general consensus, however, about the optimal hysterectomy process. Hysterectomy may be achieved through different techniques such as stomach, vaginal and laparoscopic. The goal of the study is to explore whether the hysterectomy of minilaparotomy for benign uterine lesions may be a viable option to laparoscopic hysterectomy in terms of short-term operational and postoperative performance. Methods: 105 patients who were due to undergo complete hysterectomy for a benign uterine lesion were split into 3 categories according to their preference of therapeutic therapy method: group A (35 patients) minilaparotomy hysterectomy utilizing traditional sutures. Group B (35 patients) minilaparotomy hysterectomy utilizing bipolar vessel sealing procedure (Ligasure). Group C (35patients) laparoscopic hysterectomy using Ligasure. Result (s): The operating time in Group A (84.71 ± 9.91 minutes), group B (55.31 ± 7.81 minutes), while group C (94.81 ± 16.1 minutes).The duration until resumption of intestinal sounds in group C (12.31 ± 2.51 hours) in comparison to group A (17.41 ± 1.91 hours) and group B (16.51 ± 1.761 hours). Blood loss in group B (99.11 ± 30.81 ml), group A (130.31 ± 54.41 ml) and group C (136.61 ± 6.61 ml). The longest hospital stay occurred in group A (31.8 1± 5.71 hours) versus groups B (20.71 ± 2.51 hours) and C (19.31 ± 6.1 hours). The highest pain score was observed in group A (5.21 ± 1.11) versus groups B (3.81 ± 1.61) and C (3.71 ± 1.21). There was no significant difference in the incidence of intraoperative or postoperative complications. Conclusion (s): Less operational time and intraoperative blood loss were correlated with the usage of ligasure bipolar vessel sealing device in minilaparotomy hysterectomy, whereas it was comparable to laparoscopic hysterectomy in hospital stay and low morbidity postoperative pain scoring and a limited hospital stay. It can be an acceptable alternative to laparoscopic hysterectomy, suitable in areas without laparoscopic experience or facilities.
Determining validity, discriminant ability, responsiveness, and minimal clinically important differences for PROMIS in adult spinal deformity
Authors: Ibaseta Alvaro , Rahman Rafa , Andrade Nicholas S. , Skolasky Richard L. , Kebaish Khaled M. , Sciubba Daniel M. , Neuman Brian J.
Published: February 2021

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to determine the concurrent validity, discriminant ability, and responsiveness of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) in adult spinal deformity (ASD) and to calculate minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) for PROMIS scores.

METHODS

The authors used data obtained in 186 surgical patients with ASD. Concurrent validity was determined through correlations between preoperative PROMIS scores and legacy measure scores. PROMIS discriminant ability between disease severity groups was determined using the preoperative Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) value as the anchor. Responsiveness was determined through distribution- and anchor-based methods, using preoperative to postoperative changes in PROMIS scores. MCIDs were estimated on the basis of the responsiveness analysis.

RESULTS

The authors found strong correlations between PROMIS Pain Interference and ODI and the Scoliosis Research Society 22-item questionnaire Pain component; PROMIS Physical Function and ODI; PROMIS Anxiety and Depression domains and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey version 2, Physical and Mental Components, Scoliosis Research Society 22-item questionnaire Mental Health component (anxiety only), 9-Item Patient Health Questionnaire (anxiety only), and 7-Item Generalized Anxiety Disorder questionnaire; PROMIS Fatigue and 9-Item Patient Health Questionnaire; and PROMIS Satisfaction with Participation in Social Roles (i.e., Social Satisfaction) and ODI. PROMIS discriminated between disease severity groups in all domains except between none/mild and moderate Anxiety, with mean differences ranging from 3.7 to 8.4 points. PROMIS showed strong responsiveness in Pain Interference; moderate responsiveness in Physical Function and Social Satisfaction; and low responsiveness in Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, and Sleep Disturbance. Final PROMIS MCIDs were as follows: –6.3 for Anxiety, –4.4 for Depression, –4.6 for Fatigue, –5.0 for Pain Interference, 4.2 for Physical Function, 5.7 for Social Satisfaction, and –3.5 for Sleep Disturbance.

CONCLUSIONS

PROMIS is a valid assessment of patient health, can discriminate between disease severity levels, and shows responsiveness to changes after ASD surgery. The MCIDs provided herein may help clinicians interpret postoperative changes in PROMIS scores, taking into account the fact that they are pending external validation.
Strategies for prevention of rod fracture in adult spinal deformity: cobalt chrome rod, accessory rod technique, and lateral lumbar interbody fusion

Published: February 2021

OBJECTIVE

Restoring the proper sagittal alignment in adult spinal deformity (ASD) can improve radiological and clinical outcomes, but pseudarthrosis including rod fracture (RF) is a common problematic complication. The purpose of this study was to analyze the methods for reducing the incidence of RF in deformity correction of ASD.

METHODS

The authors retrospectively selected 178 consecutive patients (mean age 70.8 years) with lumbar degenerative kyphosis (LDK) who underwent deformity correction with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Patients were classified into the non-RF group (n = 131) and the RF group (n = 47). For predicting the crucial factors of RF, patient factors, radiographic parameters, and surgical factors were analyzed.

RESULTS

The overall incidence of RF was 26% (47/178 cases), occurring in 42% (42/100 cases) of pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO), 7% (5/67 cases) of lateral lumbar interbody fusion (LLIF) with posterior column osteotomy, 18% (23/129 cases) of cobalt chrome rods, 49% (24/49 cases) of titanium alloy rods, 6% (2/36 cases) placed with the accessory rod technique, and 32% (45/142 cases) placed with the 2-rod technique. There were no significant differences in the incidence of RF regarding patient factors between two groups. While both groups showed severe sagittal imbalance before operation, lumbar lordosis (LL) was more kyphotic and pelvic incidence (PI) minus LL (PI-LL) mismatch was greater in the RF group (p < 0.05). Postoperatively, while LL and PI-LL did not show significant differences between the two groups, LL and sagittal vertical axis correction were greater in the RF group (p < 0.05). Nonetheless, at the last follow-up, the two groups did not show significant differences in radiographic parameters except thoracolumbar junctional angles. As for surgical factors, use of the cobalt chrome rod and the accessory rod technique was significantly greater in the non-RF group (p < 0.05). As for the correction method, PSO was associated with more RFs than the other correction methods, including LLIF (p < 0.05). By logistic regression analysis, PSO, preoperative PI-LL mismatch, and the accessory rod technique were crucial factors for RF.

CONCLUSIONS

Greater preoperative sagittal spinopelvic malalignment including preoperative PI-LL mismatch was the crucial risk factor for RF in LDK patients 65 years or older. For restoring and maintaining sagittal alignment, use of the cobalt chrome rod, accessory rod technique, or LLIF was shown to be effective for reducing RF in ASD surgery.

La presente investigación se llevó a cabo en Delicias, Chihuahua. El objetivo fue conocer el nivel de percepción y conocimiento de la población acerca de los problemas ambientales, buscando asociar sus respuestas con los niveles de marginación territorial dentro de la ciudad. Se realizó un muestreo aleatorio proporcional, por grado de marginación de las Áreas Geoestadísticas Básicas (AGEB) de la ciudad, de acuerdo con la clasificación de CONAPO; aplicando una encuesta, diseñada ex profeso, directamente en los hogares. Se utilizaron técnicas de análisis estadístico para datos continuos y categóricos. Los resultados muestran que la actividad percibida como causante de mayor daño ambiental es la industria (80.20 %), seguida de la agricultura (13.80 %) y solamente con 5.20 % la ganadería. En contraste, como problema que afecta de manera personal directa, la industria obtuvo el quinto lugar. Por otro lado, únicamente el 5.72 % de los entrevistados indicó ausencia de enfermedades, apareciendo diabetes en primer lugar, seguida de hipertensión y de cáncer. La zona de marginación y el nivel de estudios mostraron una fuerte asociación con el nivel de percepción ambiental de las personas, detectándose que, a mayor marginación, mayor desconocimiento en materia ambiental, pero también mayor disposición a participar en acciones de mitigación.

Adopting open science principles can be challenging, requiring conceptual education and training in the use of new tools. This paper introduces the Workflow for Open Reproducible Code in Science (WORCS): A step-by-step procedure that researchers can follow to make a research project open and reproducible. This workflow intends to lower the threshold for adoption of open science principles. It is based on established best practices, and can be used either in parallel to, or in absence of, top-down requirements by journals, institutions, and funding bodies. To facilitate widespread adoption, the WORCS principles have been implemented in the R package worcs, which offers an RStudio project template and utility functions for specific workflow steps. This paper introduces the conceptual workflow, discusses how it meets different standards for open science, and addresses the functionality provided by the R implementation, worcs. This paper is primarily targeted towards scholars conducting research projects in R, conducting research that involves academic prose, analysis code, and tabular data. However, the workflow is flexible enough to accommodate other scenarios, and offers a starting point for customized solutions. The source code for the R package and manuscript, and a list of examplesof WORCS projects , are available at https://github.com/cjvanlissa/worcs .

Background:

Physical therapy with whole body vibration (WBV) following compressive spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats restores density of perisomatic synapses, improves body weight support and leads to a better bladder function. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the combined treatment with WBV plus erythropoietin (EPO) would further improve motor, sensory and vegetative functions after SCI in rats.

Methods:

Severe compressive SCI at low thoracic level was followed by a single i.p. injection of 2,5 μg (250 IU) human recombinant EPO. Physical therapy with WBV started on 14th day after injury and continued over a 12-week post injury period. Locomotor recovery, sensitivity tests and urinary bladder scores were analysed at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after SCI. The closing morphological measurements included lesion volume and numbers of axons in the preserved perilesional neural tissue bridges (PNTB).

Results:

Assessment of motor performance sensitivity and bladder function revealed no significant effects of EPO when compared to the control treatments. EPO treatment neither reduced the lesion volume, nor increased the number of axons in PNTB.

Conclusions:

The combination of WBV + EPO exerts no positive effects on hind limbs motor performance and bladder function after compressive SCI in rats.
A feasibility study of realizing low-dose abdominal CT using deep learning image reconstruction algorithm

OBJECTIVES: To explore the feasibility of achieving diagnostic images in low-dose abdominal CT using a Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm. METHODS: Prospectively enrolled 47 patients requiring contrast-enhanced abdominal CT scans. The late-arterial phase scan was added and acquired using lower-dose mode (tube current range, 175–545 mA; 80 kVp for patients with BMI ≤24 kg/m2 and 100 kVp for patients with BMI > 24 kg/m2) and reconstructed with DLIR at medium setting (DLIR-M) and high setting (DLIR-H), ASIR-V at 0% (FBP), 40% and 80% strength. Both the quantitative measurement and qualitative analysis of the five types of reconstruction methods were compared. In addition, radiation dose and image quality between the early-arterial phase ASIR-V images using standard-dose and the late-arterial phase DLIR images using low-dose were compared. RESULTS: For the late-arterial phase, all five reconstructions had similar CT value (P > 0.05). DLIR-H, DLIR-M and ASIR-V80% images significantly reduced the image noise and improved the image contrast noise ratio, compared with the standard ASIR-V40% images (P < 0.05). ASIR-V80% images had undesirable image characteristics with obvious “waxy” artifacts, while DLIR-H images maintained high spatial resolution and had the highest subjective image quality. Compared with the early-arterial scans, the late-arterial phase scans significantly reduced the radiation dose (P < 0.05), while the DLIR-H images exhibited lower image noise and good display of the specific image details of lesions. CONCLUSIONS: DLIR algorithm improves image quality under low-dose scan condition and may be used to reduce the radiation dose without adversely affecting the image quality.
