Certissimo argumento aeternitati plus conferre tenuissimas membranas quam praedura marmora
Authors: Laurens Pierre
Published: February 2020

The Aureolus inscription is a text transmitted by the Vita Triginta tyrannorum as an awkward translation made by a grammarian. It has been unanimously regarded as a forgery, created by Trebellius Pollio. The inscription is quoted in his Rerum patriae by Andrea Alciato, who translates it again in a first draft of his Antiquitates Mediolanenses, before giving his own translation in the Dresdensis manuscript, from which it goes one’s own way until being denounced as a forgery by Mommsen. Is it a double forgery? One will find here some evidence in favour of the rehabilitation of the testimony of the Historia Augusta.
Una nuova dedica a Ercole da un manoscritto di Bonifacius Amerbach
Authors: Orlandi Silvia
Published: February 2020

The manuscript C VI a 77, once belonging to the 16th century humanist Bonifacius Amerbach and now preserved in the Universitätsbibliothek Basel, is not a high quality epigraphic manuscript, but includes at least a couple of Roman inscriptions elsewhere unknown. One of them, already published in the 1980s, is a dedication to Iuppiter Optimus Maximus set by aneques singularis; the other one is a dedication to Hercules Invictus – here published for the first time – set, when he was an urban praetor, by L. Turranius Venustus Gratianus, member of a well-known senatorial family of the 3rd/4th century AD.
Da Vid a Venezia: due reperti antichi tra collezionismo ed interessi eruditi nel sec. XVIII
Authors: Paci Gianfranco
Published: February 2020

Two finds of unknown provenance, once in the Nani Museum in Venice, seem to be from Narona, a site that provided, along with other Dalmatian places, most of the ancient material preserved in the famous Venetian collection. The first document is an altar now in Piazzola sul Brenta, identified by Mommsen as coming from Dalmatia, likely Narona, on the basis of the formula mentioning a god which is altogether identical to a dedication, now lost, also from Narona. The second find, now in Avignon, is a relief of the Dioscuri. It certainly comes from Narona as a fragment of a slab from the Museum at Vid, reproducing the same rare decorative motif, demonstrates: snakes face an egg. At Narona the cult of the Dioscuri is well documented epigraphically, but also by a relief in which two snakes, but in another position, appear.
Fortune de l’inscription du temple d’Isis des manuscrits épigraphiques du Quattrocento aux Antiquités de la Ville d’Andrea Fulvio (1527)
Authors: Raffarin Anne
Published: February 2020

The five books of Antiquitates Vrbis of Andrea Fulvio (1527) contain 40 inscriptions, many of which were previously unknown. From what sources did he dispose to feed this new sylloge? Among these inscriptions, the text of the inscription of the temple of Isis constitutes an especially interesting case of transmission between humanists through the circulation of manuscripts and the first editions. Indeed, not really unpublished but delivered in the first editions of the Roma triumphans (1473, 1482, 1503, 1513), it appears in various forms, especially in the handwritten versions of Felice Feliciano’s sylloge. It is a Dresden manuscript containing Flavio Biondo’s Roma instaurata (after 1459), annotated by one of his sons, which brings insights into the problems that this transmission had posed until Andrea Fulvio and until the Corpus inscriptionum Latinarum.
Digitalizzazione e intelligenza del falso epigrafico
Authors: Pistellato Antonio
Published: February 2020

This essay focuses upon a fragmentary Latin inscription found in Monselice in 1837. Giuseppe first Furlanetto published it in 1847. In 1872, Theodor Mommsen published it as CIL V 2484. However, among Furlanetto’s work materials there is a manuscript note that relates to the same inscription, but shows an intact epigraphic text. Maria Silvia Bassignano published it in 1997, maintaining that the inscription was a forgery. The digitization of the note in EDF, a re-examination of all extant documentation, the books of Livy, and a new analysis of the original inscription, now in Brescia, allow a reassessment of the whole matter, and prompt some methodological and epistemological remarks on the notion of epigraphic forgery.
Implicit social cognition through years: The Implicit Association Test at age 21
Authors: Epifania Ottavia M. , Robusto Egidio , Anselmi Pasquale
Published: February 2020

The
advent of implicit measures opened the access to processes of which people
might not be completely aware but that can still influence their attitudes,
preferences, and behaviors towards different objects. Among the existing
implicit measures, the Implicit Association Test (IAT; Greenwald, McGhee, &
Schwartz, 1998) is one of the most studied and used. The descriptive literature
review presented in this work was aimed at providing an overview of how the IAT
has been used from the year of its first introduction until current days.
Specifically, the main fields of application of the IAT, the specific topics
for which it has been used, and its concurrent use with other implicit measures
have been highlighted and described. When possible, information on the samples
on which the studies were carried out are reported. Results indicate an
on-going growth of the IAT in a constantly wider range of topics. The ability
of the IAT to overcome self-presentation biases and to access the implicit
aspects of attitudes have been particularly exploited for investigating biases
towards different out-groups, especially in sensitive contexts.
The Exercise Oncology Twitter Conference: Disseminating Research in the Age of Social Media
Authors: Thraen-Borowski Keith M. , Weller Sarah , Fairman Ciaran
Published: February 2020

Background: Scientists are using social media to amplify their scientific impact. As such, researchers are looking for novel ways to engage this medium to promote scientific findings and communicate research to a broader audience. Here, we examine the use of a Twitter conference as a means to effectively communicate advances in the field of exercise oncology.

Methods: The Exercise Oncology Twitter Conference (ExOncTC) occurred in October 2018. Each presentation consisted of 6 tweets over 15 min. Attendees were able to interact during a presentation via the conference hashtag (#ExOncTC). Registration data were used to characterize presenters and participants while Twitter Analytics/Union Metrics were used to aggregate data to determine engagement and reach.

Results: The ExOncTC featured 68 presenters from 13 countries and 48 institutions. Presenters varied in academic background (ranging from undergraduate students [1.5%] to terminal degree holders [46%]) and profession (including researchers [42.5%] and physicians [6%]). Participants, including researchers, physicians, students, patients, and organizations could register via the Web site (n = 231), follow the @ExOncTC Twitter handle (n = 805), and/or search the #ExOncTC hashtag. During the conference, #ExOncTC was tweeted 1,501 times by 483 unique users for 4,943 total engagements (number of times a user interacts with a tweet). Collectively, these tweets reached 453,900 distinct users with potential impressions equaling 1.8 million (number of views possible).

Conclusion: Reach of the ExOncTC demonstrates the potential effectiveness of using a Twitter conference as a platform to communicate the field of exercise oncology, suggesting Twitter conferencing should be explored as a tool for scientific dissemination to the broader field of clinical exercise physiology.
Can the novel coronavirus be transmitted via RNAs without protein capsids?
Authors: XU ZHONGNENG
Published: February 2020

The mechanisms of some infection events of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) remain unknown, and new ideas of the transmission modes are needed. The present study proposed that the infectiousness of RNAs was one of the transmission routes of SARS-CoV-2. Possible explanations included RNAs controlling replication and metabolic processes of SARS-CoV-2, the estimated stabilization time of RNAs in the air being enough for them to encounter a new host, the infectious disease transmitted by free RNAs having been reported, etc. If additional detection results show that the proportion of RNA in the environment is higher than the proportion of RNA in the novel coronavirus particles, it suggests the potential presence of free RNA genomes of SARS-CoV-2 in the environment. Spatial array methods to detect the spatial distribution of RNAs should be applicated to assess the risk of viral infection within crowded places. It is worthwhile to compare the effects of SARS-CoV-2 components (e.g., virus particles, positive RNA strands, negative RNA strands, and virus proteins) on symptoms to study the mechanism of asymptomatic infection. More stringent protective measures based on the infectiousness of RNAs were provided. For the medical purpose, studying environmental RNAs (eRNAs) is important. I believe that further investigation of the infection capabilities of viral RNAs will yield useful information.

Published: February 2020

The feasibility of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) in characterizing standing trees has been frequently investigated, while less effort has been put in quantifying downed dead wood using TLS. To advance dead wood characterization using TLS, we collected TLS point clouds and downed dead wood information from 20 sample plots (32 m x 32 m in size) located in southern Finland. This data set can be used in developing new algorithms for downed dead wood detection and characterization as well as for understanding spatial patterns of downed dead wood in boreal forests.

Computational modeling of driver pre-crash brake response, with and without off-road glances: Parameterization using real-world crashes and near-crashes
Authors: Svärd Malin , Markkula Gustav , Bärgman Jonas , Victor Trent
Published: February 2020

When faced with an imminent collision threat, human vehicle drivers respond with braking in a manner which is stereotypical, yet modulated in complex ways by many factors, including the specific traffic situation and past driver eye movements. A computational model capturing these phenomena would have high applied value, for example in virtual vehicle safety testing methods, but existing models are either simplistic or not sufficiently validated. This paper extends an existing quantitative driver model for initiation and modulation of pre-crash brake response, to handle off-road glance behavior. The resulting models are fitted to time-series data from real-world naturalistic rear-end crashes and near-crashes. A stringent parameterization and model selection procedure is presented, based on particle swarm optimization and maximum likelihood estimation. A major contribution of this paper is the resulting first-ever fit of a computational model of human braking to real near-crash and crash behavior data. The model selection results also permit novel conclusion regarding behavior and accident causation: Firstly, the results indicate that drivers have partial visual looming perception during off-road glances; that is, evidence for braking is collected, albeit at a slower pace, while the driver is looking away from the forward roadway. Secondly, the results suggest that an important causation factor in crashes without off-road glances may be a reduced sensitivity to visual looming, possibly associated with driver state (e.g., drowsiness or erroneous driver expectations). It is also demonstrated that a model parameterized on less-critical data, such as near-crashes, may also accurately reproduce driver behavior also in highly critical situations, such as crashes.
Evolutionary Psychology and LGBTQ+ Issues: A Qualitative Study of Queer Women’s Perspectives on Research Results
Authors: Burchell Drew , Firth Samantha , Robinson Margaret , Mullin Stephanie , Mackinnon Sean P.
Published: February 2020

This study examines reactions to a recent evolutionary psychology article that uses self-report data to claim that same-sex attraction in women evolved because men find it a desirable quality in a mate. Our study explores a novel perspective on the article by interviewing 29 women with attraction to women in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Participants read a news article about the original study, then the original article, and were then asked about their thoughts and feelings. Our research questions were as follows: 1) What cognitive and emotional reactions to the article do women with attraction to women experience? 2) Why did this article generate a lot of online criticism, from the perspective of women who are attracted to women? 3) Do papers like this cause women with attraction to women to change their opinions about psychological journals and/or psychological research? Using thematic analysis, we found seven themes: Negative emotion, identity threat, failure to address sociocultural explanations, male/hetero-centric, differences in paradigms, sensationalized news article, and contextualizing. The proliferation of articles like these represents one of many small stressors women attracted to women deal with as a minority population, and this stress can have important implications for health.
Planet or Pocketbook? Environmental Motives Complement Financial Motives for Energy Efficiency across the Political Spectrum in the United States
Authors: Forster Hale A , Kunreuther Howard , Weber Elke U.
Published: February 2020

While policies to encourage low-cost energy saving behaviors have increasinglyincorporated nonfinancial behavioral science interventions to motivate behavioral change, policies to encourage large structural energy efficiency upgrades have been slow to adopt such tools to motivate consumers, relying instead on economic incentives to reduce upfront cost and targeting financial and comfort motivations. This research examines whether adding an emphasis on environmental benefits can increase interest in these upgrades and explores whether political ideology moderates the effectiveness of different environmental benefits frames. In Study 1, we explore how homeowners rate the importance of financial and nonfinancial decision factors of weatherization, a large energy efficiency upgrade, including the financial, informational, environmental, material, and social benefits and costs. We find that environmental benefits explain the most variance of any decision factor in reported likelihood to upgrade. In Study 2, we examine whether adding a description of environmental benefits of upgrades to their financial benefits can increase upgrade likelihood across political ideologies. We find that adding environmental benefits framed as mitigation of climate change increases liberals’ likelihood to upgrade but has no effect on conservatives; however, adding benefits framed as an increase in environmental stewardship and energy independence increases both liberals and conservatives’ likelihood to upgrade. This research demonstrates that, contrary to existing practice, adding environmental messages after characterizing financial benefits is likely to increase investment in energy efficiency upgrades across the political spectrum.
The Psychology of Risk Management
Authors: Vallée-Tourangeau Gaëlle , Vallée-Tourangeau Frédéric
Published: February 2020

A better understanding of how human factors may shape risk perception and risk-taking is key to improve investment performance. This chapter draws on research on the psychology of risk and decision-making under uncertainty to shed light on these issues. The first part focuses on the evaluation of risk and uncertainty. After outlining the different psychological concepts of uncertainty, we review the different factors influencing individuals’ subjective perception of risk as well as the heuristics they may use to gauge risk and uncertainty. The second part of this chapter focuses on the different factors influencing human risk-taking behaviour, ranging from attitudes to risk to the contexts in which risky decisions take place, and the role of emotions in risk-taking.

Published: February 2020

Epidermoid cysts are rare benign neoplasm accounting for less than 1% of all intra-spinal tumors. Congenital epidermis cysts are frequently found with syringomyelia, dermal sinus and spina bifida. Most common etiology for an acquired cyst is repeated lumbar puncture. Congenital epidermoid cysts, often associated with other spinal dysraphisms, are caused by the anomalous implantation of ectodermalcells during closure of the neural tube between the third and fifth week of embryonic life. This is a very rare case. With all these characteristics and literature review, we report this case for its rarity and unique characteristics in this part of world (Nepal). These patients commonly present late to the hospital.

Pediatric Corneal Transplant Surgery: Challenges for Successful Outcome
Authors: Sharma Ashok , Sharma Rajan
Published: February 2020

Visual rehabilitation of pediatric corneal blinds is a major challenge to corneal transplant surgeons. Penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) is the only way to restore vision and prevent irreversible blindness due to amblyopia in children. Performing penetrating corneal grafts in children poses difficulty in evaluation, technical difficulties during surgery and problems during follow-up. Younger children do not cooperate for proper slit-lamp examination and need to be examined under general anaesthesia. In addition, the complications encountered post PKP, including allograft rejection, post PKP astigmatism and post PKP glaucoma are more frequent in pediatric group as compared to adult recipients. Even after a successful graft, the child requires rigorous treatment for amblyopia. Parents need to be counselled before surgery and possible visual outcome and chances of obtaining clear graft should be discussed.

Authors: Chakraborti Chandana , Palchoudhury Krittika , Das Jayanta
Published: February 2020

Background: Sino-orbital fistulas (SOF) are a well-reported complication of orbitalexenteration and sinonasal carcinoma resection. Despite repair, however, complete fistula closure may be difficult.

Case: A 79 –years-old man had undergone total exenteration of right orbit for spreading sqamous cell carcinoma of conjunctiva. Subsequently he developed two large sinoorbitalfistulae medially to the ethmoid sinus wall of the orbit. Post- operatively good socket hygiene was maintained but the fistulae increased in size. At 3 month follow-up, closure of the fistulae using glabellar rotation advancement flap was done. The defects have remained closed at follow-up with excellent cosmetic results. There is no recurrence of fistula or malignancy till date. Patient was cosmetically rehabilitated with spectacle prosthesis.

Conclusion: Glabellar rotation flap for closure of medially situated sino- orbital fistulae is a good option with excellent cosmetic result.

Section 35 Legal Framework: Implications for Evaluation
Authors: McCurry Pamela
Published: March 2020

Abstract: Developments in Canada’s constitutional and legal framework since 1982 set the stage for the current Liberal government’s nation-to-nation policy, which recognizes Indigenous rights and seeks to build a relationship of respect and partnership through reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. These developments have important implications for those engaged in policy and program evaluations who are now called upon—not only by their own professional ethics but by the legal principles flowing from Section 35—to reimagine their approach and work as partners with Indigenous nations based on the recognition of Indigenous rights, reconciliation, and the Crown’s duty to act honourably in all of its dealings with Indigenous peoples. There are no off-the-shelf answers for how this can be done. Evaluation professionals will need to be guided by these key legal principles and the progressive view set out in the Liberal government’s Principles respecting the Government of Canada’s Relationship with Indigenous Peoples.
Clinique, scores de symptômes et impact sur le choix du traitement

Published: February 2020

La maladie hémorroïdaire est une pathologie fréquente ayant une expression clinique variée. Ses symptômes ne sont pas spécifiques, et l’examen clinique est essentiel afin d’éliminer d’autres diagnostics différentiels. De plus, il n’existe pas de parallélisme entre l’importance de la maladie anatomique et les symptômes hémorroïdaires. Plusieurs classifications ont été proposées afin d’évaluer la sévérité de la maladie hémorroïdaire, guider le traitement et apprécier son efficacité. La plus connue et utilisée est celle de Goligher, mais elle ne permet d’évaluer que le prolapsus. Plusieurs autres scores plus composites prenant en compte la maladie hémorroïdaire dans sa globalité (saignement, douleur, qualité de vie, etc.) sont récemment disponibles, mais leur utilisation reste limitée au quotidien. De ce fait, la classification idéale qui vise à guider de manière précise le traitement n’existe pas encore.
Origin Stories, Surveillance, and Digital Alter Egos
Authors: Young Sarah
Published: February 2020

The origin story is an important element for any superhero/villain, as it provides context for a character’s seemingly out-of-this-world abilities. A radioactive spider bit Spiderman, and the Penguin was bullied in his youth. It can also be beneficial for surveillance scholars, inasmuch as it provides context for a once invisible but superhuman body of digital information that circulates as a proxy for us in digital milieus. This body is best understood through contemporary surveillance practices, yet metaphors of the panopticon and George Orwell’s 1984 proliferate in the surveillant imagination. I argue here that mapping an origin story onto a view of our data as a superhuman body not only creates a tangible representation of surveillance, but it also emphasizes and animates alternative surveillance theories useful for circulation in the surveillant imagination.

ASSESSMENT CRITERION FOR OPTIMUM DESIGN SOLUTIONS OF PIECEWISE CONSTANT SECTIONS IN RODS OF I-SHAPED CROSS-SECTION WITH STABILITY OR FIRST EIGEN-FREQUENCY LIMITS
Authors: Lyakhovich L. S. , Akimov P. A. , Tukhfatullin B. A.
Published: February 2020

Specific properties of optimum systems have been already considered in previous research. Moreover, the criteria were proposed for a correct assessment of proximity of optimum to minimum material consumption. In particular, the criteria are proposed for rods of rectangular crosssection with stability or first eigen-frequency limits. These criteria can be used for problem optimization, when the rod cross-sections continuously change longitudinally. The obtained optimum solutions can be considered as a perfect limited object. This optimum project function allows researcher to assess the real design solution using the proximity limit criterion (for example, material consumption limit). This kind of optimum design can also be used as a guideline for real design in terms of a stage-by-stage process of transition from a perfect to real object. In this case, it is possible to assess changes in the object optimality at each stage as compared to the initial and idealized solutions. In particular, one of the variants of the process includes replacing the rod with continuous longitudinally varying cross-sections by a rod with piecewise constant sections. The section boundaries can be based on a perfect object, and cross-sections can be determined by one of the optimization methods. This paper presents criteria, which ensure the reliable definition of the time of completion of the optimization process.

The first report of direct skeletal attachment method applying for tibia prosthetic leg in a chicken by cortical screw
Authors: Damrongdej Piyabongkarn
Published: February 2020

This is the first report of successful method for direct skeletal attachment for invent tibia prosthetic leg in a chicken amputee by using 3.0 mm stainless steel cortical screw as an intramedullary bone stem for right tibia endoprosthesis leg part and using acrylic with some part of endotracheal tube as an exoprosthesis leg part. This surgery was performed in a chicken amputee without bone cement using. A chicken could stand and sometime walk after 15 days of surgery. No complication problem with a screw’s stump. This intramedullary bone stem technique by a screw can adapt using in other parts of long bone animal amputee. This technique can apply for invent endoprosthesis limb in other small animal amputees and can use intramedullary screw technique with other long bones such as femur, humerus, radius, and ulna because this technique uses only one stainless 316L screw so the surgery cost is not too much. The surgical procedure is not complicated and blood loss during surgery is not much so the risk for this technique is low.
Environmental and sanitary and hygienic aspects of the prevention of wild helminthosis in the contemporary climate change
Authors: Pepko V. O. , Zhigalyuk S. V. , Sachuk R. M.
Published: February 2020

The intensification of the hunting industry leads to an increase in the number of animals and creates conditions for the spread of invasions, incl. helminthic. The transboundary position of the Western regions of Ukraine contributes to the expansion of the species composition and habitats of helminths, which in the current climate change can complicate the epizootic situation of dangerous invasions. On the basis of the literature and the results of our own research, potential risks to the hunting economy for the emergence of new helminthiasis caused by the species-species have been identified. In the work the influence on the helminth fauna of ungulates, kept under conditions in the aviary, modifying and regulating environmental factors, is analyzed. The modern changes in the phenology and ontogeny of pathogens of mass infestations, first of all in geo-helminths, have been investigated. For the causative agent of dictiocaulosis, prolongation of the seasonality of invasion by larvae has been established. It is shown that the decrease in the extent and intensity of invasion of individual trematodes correlates with the dynamics of their intermediate hosts. The data on the effectiveness of remediation with aqueous solutions of polyhexamethyleneguanidine chloride, landing sites were obtained by decontamination of soil in wildlife clusters, in order to minimize their infestation by nematode larvae. The proposed remedy is an organic compound, does not scare away animals, but by contacting organic and inorganic constituents of the soil and lose their potential toxicity. Efficiency of destruction of larvae of Strongylid and Strongylate in the sample ranged from 78 % to 87 %, and in the surface (up to 5 cm) soil layers – 96–100 %. Research findings should be reflected in planned antiparasitic measures.

The researcher used an instrument of (48) items distributed over two sub-domains: Theoretical training needs and practical skills training needs, after obtaining good validity and reliability of the scale. The results of the study indicated that the training needs importance to the respondents was of moderate level in each of the domains: Theoretical and practical skills needs. There were no statistically significant differences in teachers’ assessment of their needs that could be attributed to the variables of gender and teaching experience of the teacher. The study recommends a continuous assessment of the needs of teachers of children with autism spectrum disorder, and focuses on the preparation of specialized training programs for teachers to satisfy these needs.

Досліджено структуру ґрунтового покриву та біомасові показники рослинних угруповань відвалу гірничо-збагачувального виробництва АрселорМіттал Кривий Ріг. Деталізацію структури ґрунтового покриву та параметрів контурів виконано з використанням тривимірного моделювання. Використання тривимірного моделювання порівняно з картуванням для опису саме індустріальних ландшафтів дає об’єктивніші результати, що відображається у зростанні площі моделі майже на 50%. Зокрема, для досліджуваного відвалу площа за картографічною моделлю становить 38 га, а за тривимірною моделлю – 55 га, відповідно, поправочний коефіцієнт складає 1,44. Доведено, що застосування об’ємних моделей необхідне для прогнозування динаміки та шляхів прискорення самозаростання техногенних об’єктів, а також для оцінки якості виконання нанесення родючих та потенційно родючих порід на поверхню техногенно порушених територій. Структура ґрунтового покриву відвалу представлена комбінаціями примітивних ґрунтів різного генезису і потужності з суцільно кристалічними та кам’янистими субстратами. Більш розвинуті ґрунти приурочені до ділянок, відсипаних глинистими або суглинистими гірськими породами. Виходячи з показників біомаси рослинних угруповань, найбільш пристосованими для виживання та розповсюдження на техногенних субстратах, представлених суглинками, є фітоценози з домінуванням Koeleria cristata, Achilea nobilis та Lathyrus tuberosus, а для субстратів, складених переважно кам’янистими уламками – Securigera varia, Hieracium echioides та Poa angustifolia. Угруповання Koeleria cristata формують найбільшу біомасу на суглинках – 103,4 г/м2. На уламках залізистих кварцитів та сланців найбільша кількість біомаси утворюється у фітоценозах з домінуванням Securigera varia – 20,9 г/м2. Середні показники біомаси трав’янистих угруповань індустріальних територій становлять для суглинистих порід – 21,8 г/м2, для скельних – 6,9 г/м2.

This study aims to reveal the reason for the increased force of 5-hydroxytryptamine-induced contraction of endothelium-denuded skeletal muscle arteries of diabetic rats in the presence of perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT). Our data on rat gracilis arteries show that i) PVAT of skeletal muscle arteries of healthy and diabetic rats releases hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), ii) higher concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine increase the production of H2O2 in PVAT; iii) an enhanced PVAT production of H2O2 is the main, if not the only, reason for the sensitization of arterial contraction to 5-hydroxytriptamine-induced contraction in diabetes and iv) endothelium antagonizes the effect of PVAT-derived H2O2.
Electrocardiography in Rats: a Comparison to Human
Authors: KONOPELSKI P. , UFNAL M.
Published: February 2020

Electrocardiography (ECG) in rats is a widely applied experimental method in basic cardiovascular research. The technique of ECG recordings is simple; however, the interpretation of electrocardiographic parameters is challenging. This is because the analysis may be biased by experimental settings, such as the type of anesthesia, the strain or age of animals. Here, we aimed to review electrocardiographic parameters in rats, their normal range, as well as the effect of experimental settings on the parameters variation. Furthermore, differences and similarities between rat and human ECG are discussed in the context of translational cardiovascular research.

In the literature, few studies have investigated the effects of melatonin on energy metabolism in skeletal muscle in endotoxemia. We investigated the effects of melatonin on tissue structure, energy metabolism in skeletal muscle, and antioxidant level of rats with endotoxemia. We divided rats into 4 groups, control, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (20 mg/kg, i.p., single dose), melatonin (10 mg/kg, i.p., three times), and melatonin + LPS. Melatonin was injected i.p. 30 min before and after the 2nd and 4th hours of LPS injection. Antioxidant status was determined by glutathione (GSH) measurement in the blood. Muscle tissue was stained using modified Gomori trichrome (MGT), succinic dehydrogenase (SDH), and cytochrome oxidase (COX) and histological scored. Also the sections were then stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The stained sections were visualized and photographed. Creatine, creatine phosphate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), and adenosine monophosphate (AMP) levels were investigated using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in muscle tissue. In the Melatonin + LPS group, blood GSH levels were increased compared with the LPS group (P<0.01). Melatonin reduced myopathic changes in the LPS group according to the histopathologic findings. In addition, ATP values were increased compared with the LPS group (P<0.05). Our findings showed melatonin treatment prevented muscle damage by increasing ATP and GSH levels in rats with LPS induced endotoxemia.

Published: February 2020

Aplicando la metodología de la Escuela Zurich Montpelier se realiza un estudio fitocenológico de las asociaciones de la Sierra Maestra. Mediante la evaluación naturalística (criterios fundamentales y complementarios), la viabilidad y los criterios de los Inventarios Biológicos Rápidos se determinaron las formaciones vegetales que se proponen como objetos de conservación y las zonas que deben priorizarse respecto a las medidas conservativas. Se considera que la Sierra Maestra debe constituirse en un “Área de conservación funcional” u “Objeto de conservación de filtro grueso” y/o “Nacional o Gruesa”; concentrando los esfuerzos de manejo y protección en la parte baja, confirmando a su vez las áreas por encima de los 800 m snm como una zona de “valor para la conservación de la biodiversidad, las aguas y los suelos”.
