Purpose. To evaluate the possibility of using the technology of combined laser treatment of macular retinal folds in the late postoperative period of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: Patient Z., 62 years old complained of metamorphopsia and decreased visual acuity of the right eye. Diagnosis: Operated RRD in the right eye complicated with macular retinal folding; epiretinal membrane; avitria; pseudophakia. Upon admission and at all stages of dynamic observation the patient underwent a comprehensive ophthalmological examination: standard diagnostic tests included visometry for uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and indirect ophthalmoscopy with MaxField indirect lens (Ocular Inc.; USA). In addition, optical coherence tomography was performed using Spectralis HRA + OCT platform (Heidelberg Engineering; Germany). Laser photocoagulation was delivered using a VISULAS Trion laser work station (Carl Zeiss; Germany) operating at 577 nm wavelength. Results. On examination 6 months after combined laser treatment the patient noted the absence of metamorphopsia in the right eye. As a result, an increase in UCVA from 0.05 to 0.2 was determined; BCVA remains stable – 0.7, “smoothing” of the retinal folds according to ophthalmoscopy, a decrease in the height of the retinal folds, restoration of the macular profile and architectonics of the retinal layers according to OCT. Conclusions. The proposed combined laser treatment of macular folds developing in the late postoperative period after RRD repair significantly improved the morphofunctional characteristics of the eye. The application of transpupillary laser surgery to ophthalmological practice broadens the arsenal of methods for noninvasive correction of RRD associated with macular retinal folds Key words: macular retinal folds; combined laser technology; rhegmatogenous retinal detachment; micropulse laser.

Purpose. To analyze the results of surgical treatment of central retinal detachment against the background of macular holes of various diameters in patients with high myopia and scleral staphyloma using autologous conditioned plasma (ACP) as a hole blocking composite and pneumoretinopexy as the final tamponade. Methods. Surgical tactics included subtotal vitrectomy 25 +, 27G, peeling of the inner limiting membrane, pneumoretinopexy, introduction of ACP into the area of scleral staphyloma through the macular hole, and, after the formation of a plasma seal at the base, application of ACP to the surface of the retina in the area of the hole in 2–3 layers up to formation of a resistant ACP layer. The operation was completed seamlessly, blocking the sclero-conjunctival access by applying 2–3 layers of ACP to the surface of the sclera and conjunctiva. Using this technique, 22 patients with central retinal detachment and macular hole with a diameter of 700–2200 microns against the background of high myopia and severe scleral staphyloma were operated. Results. In the early and late postoperative period, the retina was completely attached, and the macular hole was blocked in all patients. Conclusion. This technique is the most sparing and highly effective; it allows the achievement of full anatomical attachment of the retina and closure of the macular hole, eliminates the need for silicone tamponade, minimizes the risk of postoperative complications in patients with central retinal detachment and macular holes of various diameters against the background of high myopia and scleral staphyloma. Key words: central retinal detachment with macular hole; high myopia; scleral staphyloma; autologous conditioned plasma.

When choosing the tactics of surgical treatment in conditions of combined pathology, in particular aphakia and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD), an important point is the change of the iris-lens diaphragm anatomy. During biomicroscopy, changes in the anterior part of the eye were detected in patients with pseudophakia and aphakia (groups 1 and 2). Signs such as unevenness of the anterior chamber of the eye, atrophy of the pigment border of the iris and its vascularization occur in patients of both groups. The distinctive feature of the morphology of the anterior segment of the eye in group 1 patients is local opacification of the periphery of the cornea. There is also a tendency to an increase of indicator of the anterior chamber irregularity in group 1 patients. Analyzing the data obtained during ophthalmoscopy of the vitreous cavity, signs such as deformation of the foveolar profile, cystic edema of the macula, presence of subretinal fluid, presence of hemorrhages, as well as germination of newly formed vessels did not differ significantly. A distinctive feature of the change in the structural parameters of the vitreous cavity according to optical coherence tomography (OCT) is presence of vitreomacular traction syndrome in group 1 patients. Despite the absence of the iris-lens diaphragm in group 1 patients, no significant differenc in BCVA was revealed, however, taking into account the structural features of the anterior part of the eyeball, a significant change in refraction of 3.82 times was revealed in group 1 patients. Key words: aphakia; rhegmatogenous retinal detachment; vitreomacular traction syndrome.

Aiml. Optimization of anesthesia during enucleation of the eyeball in pediatric oncosurgery with an emphasis on regional methods. Material and Methods. Eight anesthesias were performed in children, whose average age was 3 years, operated on for retinoblastoma from July 2021 to January 2022. All patients underwent combined endotracheal anesthesia. A triple block was used as a regional component: palatal anesthesia, infraorbital anesthesia and van Lint block. Results. The effectiveness and adequacy of the proposed method of anesthesia using regional anesthesia was assessed in terms of hemodynamics – heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, the level of oppression of consciousness (BIS-index). The assessment was made at five stages: the beginning of anesthesia, tracheal intubation, 10 minutes after the triple block, at the traumatic stage of surgery, and at the end of anesthesia before tracheal extubation. As a result, it was noted that the studied variant of anesthetic management is characterized by a stable hemodynamic profile, and also does not provoke the development of an oculocardial reflex. There was a decrease in the level of the BIS-index below 40 c.u. at the stage of maintenance of anesthesia, which indicated the possibility of using lower concentrations of sevoflurane. Conclusions. This option of anesthetic management has sufficient efficiency and safety, and also allows to ensure the comfort of the surgeon. Key words: retinoblastoma; combined anesthesia; regional anesthesia.

Purpose. To evaluate reasons and frequency of asthenopia after refractive surgery. Methods. This study prospectively evaluated 40 eyes of 20 patients. Accommodative amplitude and facility, positive and negative relative accommodation, binocular vision, near point of convergence, heterophoria measurement, AC/A, and accommodative lag were assessed before and 1 month after surgery. This study also evaluates retrospectively 200 eyes of 100 patients within 1 year after surgery. Results. There was no significant impact upon accommodation in prospective group. Asthenopia was found in 7 % of patients in 1 month after surgery and in 1 % in 1 year. It was related with convergence insufficiency in 4 %, convergence excess in 2 % and accommodative insufficiency in 1 %. Conclusions. Refractive surgery does not seem to cause asthenopia. Most problem in fact is already present prior to surgery. Patients with such non-strabismic binocular dysfunction as convergence insufficiency, convergence excess, accommodative insufficiency are in high risk of asthenopia. Preoperative assessment of refractive surgery patients should include a full binocular examination.

Increasing volumes of repair of defective areas require the development and application of more economical and less time-consuming ways to restore their load-bearing capacity, eliminating the cutting of pipes, and in certain situations, and stop the pumping of gas. In recent years, the emphasis in the world practice of repair methods has shifted towards the wider use of coupling technologies, which allow to exclude cuttings of pipe coils of pipe plates with defects. In a number of cases, repair using couplings is a non-alternative method, for example, in case of gas leaks from the cavity and the pipeline or as a temporary means when it is impossible to stop the pumping of the product.

Introduction: In orthopedic surgery, having the bone in it’s exactly position is the most important factor for success. In comminuted fractures there is no bone edge to fit, surgeon’s ability becomes fundamental and human error is common. The way to diminish the human factor is to provide anatomically contoured implants so they can be guides for the surgeon. To make these implants it is necessary to compare the 3D bone contour in the population and find the most fitable implant. Materials and Methods: Twenty ankle tomographies were selected and 3D reconstructed for this research. We design and tested a software for semiautomatized bone superficial scanning. The software marked points on bone surface and constructed a spreadsheet with the 3D cartographic reference for each point. Results: The software was able to set the points in bone surface and the reconstruction of the original bone from the spreadsheet was successful. We were not able to reconstruct an average ankle from the averages of the points. Conclusion: Despite the transformation of the 3D bone surface in its numeric presentation was successful, we were still not able to compare individuals. We believe that volumetric paring could be a solution.

Hierarchical self-assembly is an effective means of preparing useful materials. However, control over assembly across length scales is a difficult challenge, often confounded by the perceived need to re-design the molecular building blocks when new material properties are needed. Here, we show that we can treat a simple dipeptide building block as a polyelectrolyte and use polymer physics approaches to explain the self-assembly over a wide concentration range. This allows us to prepare interesting analogues to threads and webs, as well as films that lose order on heating and “noodles” which change dimensions on heating, showing that we can transfer molecular-level changes to bulk properties all from a single building block.
Effect of calcium on the atomic and electronic structures of CdSe QDs embedded soda-lime-silica glasses
Authors: Li Wenke , Zhao Xiujian , Coudert François-Xavier , Liu Chao
Published: June 2022

In this work, we have investigated effects of calcium on the atomic and electronic structures of CdSe QDs by ab initio molecular dynamics. The increase of CaO content in glass is found to break the linkage between Na and O atoms, while interactions between Cd atoms and non-bridging oxygens are not disrupted. The presence of the CdSe QD promotes the migration of Na atoms from the glass matrix to the interface, and even the interior of CdSe QD, while Ca atoms are only found to be present at the QD/glass interface and in glass matrices far from QD. However, on the basis of radial concentration distribution, the CdSe QD only impacts the structure of glass at short-range near the interface. The increase in CaO content is also shown to increase the HOMO-LUMO gap of CdSe QDs embedded glasses. Our findings can extend understanding of the effect of calcium on the structural and luminescence properties of CdSe QDs embedded glasses.
Residue-specific high-resolution 17O solid-state NMR of peptides: multidimensional indirect 1H detection and magic-angle spinning

Published: June 2022

Oxygen is an integral component of proteins and nucleic acids, but remains sparsely studied in such samples because its only NMR active isotope, 17O, is a low sensitivity and resolution species. These properties are a consequence of its low natural abundance (0.039%) and the fact that 17O is a S = 5/2 nuclide with large quadrupolar couplings (6-11 MHz). In this work, we address these issues with efficient isotopic labeling, high magnetic fields, fast magic-angle spinning and indirect 1H detection. This combination of refinements, in conjunction with multidimensional heteronuclear correlation experiments, improves sensitivity and permits observation of oxygen sites specific to each amino acid residue in a model dipeptide sample in a manner consistent with the goal of high resolution. In particular, double-quantum cross-polarization at high sample spinning frequencies is found to provide efficient polarization transfer between 13C and 17O nuclei. Notably, the use of 17O as the initial source of polarization for experiments, as opposed to 1H, is found to be advantageous in terms of sensitivity per unit time due to the short 17O T1 relaxation. Additionally, the second-order quadrupolar broadening in the 17O dimension is averaged by incorporation of a low-power multiple-quantum sequence to yield sharp isotropic peaks. Comparison of isotropic and anisotropic 17O spectra allows extraction of quadrupolar parameters for each oxygen site. Finally, the high 17O resolution obtained is used in 3D experiments in combination with 13C polarization transfers and subsequent 1H detection to demonstrate the potential to determine sequential assignments and long range distance restraints. Collectively, these results suggest that 17O correlation spectroscopy can become an essential tool in the repertoire of techniques for biomolecular structure determination with the backbone 17O that has not yet been fully utilized.
Monofluoro-ether electrolyte design with reduced Li+-anion coordination enables fast-charging ultrahigh-voltage lithium metal batteries

Published: June 2022

Ether-based electrolytes are particularly useful for lithium metal batteries (LMBs) and have shown improved anodic stability with the high concentration design. Nevertheless, the vaunted anion-reinforced solvation in concentrated electrolytes has non-negligible adverse effect on ion conduction and battery rate performance. Here, we propose a new solvent design strategy of ether monofluorination to tune the Li+-anion interaction for fast-charging LMBs. With the highly polar monofluoro functional groups, the ether-based electrolyte not only exhibits excellent high oxidation stability due to the strong electron-withdrawing effect of F, but also has a greatly increased ionic conductivity because of reduced anion coordination. The unique solvation structure also enables the formation of robust and highly conductive interphases at both the Li anode and NMC811 surfaces. High Li CEs (~99.4%) and stable long-term cycling with low overpotential under ultrahigh current densities (10 mA cm-2) could be achieved for Li anode. Li||NMC811 cells exhibit outstanding cycling performance under ultrahigh cut-off voltages of 4.6 V and 4.7 V, or at high current densities (5.1 mA cm-2). This work provides critical insights into the ion-solvent interactions in the solvation complex and their profound influence on the battery electrochemical performances.

Gold(II) complexes are rare and their application for catalysis of chemical transformations is unexplored. The reason is their easy oxidation or reduction to the more stable gold(III) or gold(I) complexes, respectively. We explored the thermodynamics of the formation of the [(L)AuIIX]+ complexes (L = ligand, X = halogen) from their gold(III) precursors and investigated the stability and the spectral properties in the IR and VIS range of the formed gold(II) complexes in the gas phase. The results show that the best ancillary ligands L for stabilizing gaseous [(L)AuIIX]+ complexes are bidentate and tridentate ligands with nitrogen donor atoms. The electronic structure and spectral properties of the investigated gold(II) complexes were correlated with the quantum chemical calculations. The results show that the molecular and electronic structure of the gold(II) complexes as well as their spectroscopic properties are very similar to the analogous stable copper(II) complexes.

Impact of stringent non-pharmaceutical interventions applied during the second and third COVID-19 epidemic waves in Portugal, 9 November 2020 to 10 February 2021: an ecological study
Authors: Torres Ana Rita , Rodrigues Ana Paula , Sousa-Uva Mafalda , Kislaya Irina , Silva Susana , Antunes Liliana , Dias Carlos , Nunes Baltazar
Published: June 2022

Background

Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) were implemented worldwide to control the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

Aim

To evaluate the impact of tiered NPIs and a nationwide lockdown on reduction of COVID-19 incidence during the second and third epidemic waves in Portugal.

Methods

Surveillance data on laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases were used to conduct an interrupted time series analysis to estimate changes in daily incidence during a second wave tiered NPI period (9 November–18 December 2020), and a third wave lockdown period without (15–21 January 2021) and with school closure (22 January–10 February 2021).

Results

Significant changes in trends were observed for the overall incidence rate; declining trends were observed for tiered NPIs (−1.9% per day; incidence rate ratio (IRR): 0.981; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.973–0.989) and a lockdown period without (−3.4% per day; IRR: 0.966; 95% CI: 0.935–0.998) and with school closure (−10.3% per day, IRR: 0.897; 95% CI: 0.846–0.951). Absolute effects associated with tiered NPIs and a lockdown on a subsequent 14-day period yielded 137 cases and 437 cases per 100,000 population potentially averted, respectively.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that tiered NPIs implemented during the second wave caused a decline in COVID-19 incidence, although modest. Moreover, a third wave lockdown without school closure was effective in reducing COVID-19 incidence, but the addition of school closure provided the strongest effect. These findings emphasise the importance of early and assertive decision-making to control the pandemic.

Published: June 2022

Background

Hepatitis E virus genotype 3 (HEV-3) is widely distributed throughout Europe, with incidence of infections increasing in many countries. Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom have reported the distribution of HEV-3 subtypes in cohorts of patients with hepatic disease.

Aim

To describe the distribution of the HEV-3 subtypes in Spain at national and autonomous community (AC) levels between 2009 and 2019. The study was also extended to Andorra.

Methods

Of 5,197 samples received by the National Reference Laboratory during the study, 409 were HEV-RNA-positive. Among these, 294 (71.9%) were further typed based on an ORF2 sequence fragment, or, for a subset of 74, based on the full-coding genome sequence.

Results

HEV-3 was detected in 291 samples. The dominant subtype in Spain was HEV-3f (88.3%; 257/291), which occurred in all ACs, with no change in detection level over time. Within this subtype, three subclusters were characterised: HEV-3f-B, HEV-3f-A1 and HEV-3f-A2. The second most common HEV subtype was the recently described HEV-3m (7%; 21/291), with two subclusters identified: HEV-3m-A, which has been known since 2010, and HEV-3m-B, since 2014. The third most encountered subtype was HEV-3c (4.1%; 12/291), with a frequency not increasing over time, unlike observations in some European countries.

Conclusion

The importance of the surveillance of HEV-3 subtype and subcluster circulation is yet to be assessed. This surveillance together with the comprehensive epidemiological characterisation of clinical cases, could support the identification of sources of transmission and the establishment of control measures nationally and internationally.

Allerdings umfassen nicht alle Modelle alle Aspekte von Industrie 4.0. Auch sind die Modelle nicht gleichermaßen praxistauglich. Exklusiv für Factory Innovation werden in diesem Beitrag die zehn wichtigsten Industrie 4.0-Reifegradmodelle auf Vollständigkeit hin verglichen und beurteilt.
Green Fuels (Green Hydrogen, Green LNG) in Maritime-Shipping for Centralized or Decentralized Heating, Electric Power Supply and Ship Propulsion
Authors:   University of Applied Science, Bremerhaven, Fichter Carsten , Werner Uwe
Published: June 2022

Nowadays heavy fuel oil and Diesel are mostly used on merchant and passenger ships. Soon international and especially national governmental regulations will increase recommendations for maritime shipping in Europe and worldwide. The main reasons are high air polluting emissions like ne dust, Nitrogen Oxide and Sulphur Oxide, as well as the recommendations of reducing the Greenhouse Gas Emissions like Carbon Dioxide. Green fuels allow to reduce those emissions. Therefore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) create the Maritime Pollution contract (MARPOL). The MARPOL Annex VI gives the possibility to de ne strictly controlled air polluting areas for SOx and NOx (Emission-Controlled Areas, ECAs or SECAs). The state-of-the-art shows that hydrogen and LNG can be safely operated and used to supply electric generating systems and drive systems. Especialy cruise ships nowadays were constructed with LNG main propulsion engines. Conventional hydrogen or LNG are not CO2 free. With green hydrogen or ammonia and green LNG, based on renewable electrical energy, CO2 emissions could be reduced. The paper compares different green fuels to classical fuels in maritime applications, regarding pros and cons, emissions, safety aspects and the green renewable production of such fuels.
