Published: March 2020

Introduction: Several epidemiological studies have evaluated the role of illicit drug use in suicide behaviour.
&nbsp;
Aim: To assess patients with opioid use disorder and suicidal intent related to behavior, severity of acute poisoning and the most commonly used non-opioid substances.
&nbsp;
Materials and methods: This cross sectional study included 67 patients diagnosed with opioid use disorder. The study was conducted at the University Clinic of Toxicology in Skopje over a 5-year period (2013-2017). The following variables were examined: gender, age, duration and route of opioid administration, duration of hospitalization, and types of substances used in acute poisoning. Assessment of patients&rsquo; behavior and severity of poisoning was made by using the Suicide Behaviours Questionnaire-Revised and the Poison severity score.
&nbsp;
Results: The majority of patients were male (88.1%). The mean age of patients was 30&plusmn;6.1 years. The average duration of opioid use disorder was 8.5&plusmn;3.9. A single poisoning was found in 62.7%, double poisoning in 25.4%, and triple poisoning in 11.9% of participants. Benzodiazepines were most commonly used by the patients (55.2%). The largest number of patients (32.8%) had minor Poison severity score (PSS), and only 17.9% had severe PSS. None of the patients had a fatal suicide attempt. 86.6% of patients had a score of &ge;7 indicating a high risk of repeat suicide attempts.
&nbsp;
Conclusion: Benzodiazepines were most commonly used as a single or combined substance in patients with opioid use disorder. PSS indicated that most of the participants were with minor PSS and with high risk of a repeat suicide attempt.

Authors: Onov Michael P. , Beltcheva Ani B. 
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Dental caries is among the most important social diseases. The changes in caries prevalence occurring in different regions provide important information about the influence of etiological factors &ndash; primary and secondary, and about understanding the connections between the factors themselves.
&nbsp;
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of dental caries in 12-year-old children from Plovdiv, Bulgaria and the effect of etiological factors &ndash; single-factor and multifactorial influence.
&nbsp;
Materials and methods: The study included 228 children divided into 2 groups: group 1 - children living in the city of Plovdiv, city proper (125 children), and group 2 - children living in the surrounding villages (103 children). A questionnaire with an attached written consent form for clinical examination was completed by the parents of each child with results recorded in the WHO Oral Health Assessment Form for Children. Statistical analysis of the recorded data was used to determine DMFT index for the two groups, percentage of caries-free children and the influence of etiological factors through regression analysis.
&nbsp;
Results: Statistical analysis showed the DMFT scores as follows - 1.568 for city proper, 2.917 for surrounding villages. The caries-free children were 38.4% and 17.5% for group 1 and group 2, respectively. OHI is the highest predicting factor in a multifactorial regression analysis with over 19% predictive function.
&nbsp;
Conclusion: There was statistically significant difference in caries prevalence and percentage of caries-free children between the city proper and the surrounding villages. Etiological factors have specific influence in the investigated age group.
Comparative Study of Occlusal Contact Marking Indicators
Authors: Bozhkova Tanya P. 
Published: March 2020

Background: A variety of indicators to register occlusal contacts are used in the daily dental practice. One of the most frequently used qualitative occlusal indicators is the articulating paper. Its reliability is often disputed because this indicator could produce false positive results or fail to register any occlusal contacts.
&nbsp;
Aim: To compare the number and size of the recorded contacts on a tooth surface obtained with articulating paper and foil.
&nbsp;
Materials and methods: Typodonts of upper and lower jaw with intact dental arches Frasaco A-3Z were fixed in a Girbach arcon articulator. Articulating contacts were marked with 12-micron Bausch articulating foil and 200-micron Bausch articulating paper under the same load. For each study a new sheet of the occlusal indicators was used, and 10 repetitions were made for each one. After every marking, the lower jaw was dismounted from the articulator and the distribution of the markings was videographed using a camera. The number of occlusal contacts was entered in a table. We analysed the markings on the first maxillary and first mandibular molars.
&nbsp;
Results: We found that fewer and bigger contacts were recorded using the 200-micron articulating paper in comparison with the contacts obtained using the foil.Statistical analysis showed that there is significant difference in the number of the occlusal contacts registered with articulating paper, since p < 0.05.
&nbsp;
Conclusions: The type of occlusal contact indicator has an effect on the number and the size of the occlusal contact markings

Published: March 2020

Aim: The objective of this study was to carry out an in vivo investigation of patients wearing dentures relined with soft materials, assuming their positive and negative alterations in time.
&nbsp;
Materials and methods: A direct survey method was used to gather data from 23 patients included in this study (11 male and 12 female patients). Twenty-seven dentures were made (12 partial and 15 total dentures) 9 of which in chairside procedures, 11 - in a laboratory, and 7 were made using the direct-indirect method. Patients were included in regular follow-ups at one month and six months, and at one, two, and three years after dentures delivery. The study started in 2014 and continued till 2017.&nbsp;The materials we used in the study were quite appropriate to this type of investigation, following the proper clinical and laboratory protocols. The two most commonly used groups of relining materials on the dental market nowadays were tested.
&nbsp;
Results and discussion: All participants completed questionnaires which included questions related to changes in retention and stability of the relined dentures, changes in color and softness, in bond strength, and inflammation.&nbsp;The majority of patients were satisfied with the new dentures, but they also reported some problems concerning the staining and hardness of some of the investigated materials.
&nbsp;
Conclusion: There were no significant differences in the behavior of the different groups of materials at six months. After six months we observed decline in the bond strength of the vinyl-polysiloxane (VPS) materials, as well as increased staining and hardness in the poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA).
Analysis of functional groups in atmospheric aerosols by infrared spectroscopy: method development for probabilistic modeling of organic carbon and organic matter concentrations
Authors: Bürki Charlotte , Reggente Matteo , Dillner Ann M. , Hand Jenny L. , Shaw Stephanie L. , Takahama Satoshi 
Published: March 2020

Abstract. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) contain many important absorption bands
relevant for characterizing organic matter (OM) and obtaining organic matter to organic carbon (OM∕OC) ratios. However,
extracting this information quantitatively – accounting for overlapping absorption bands and relating absorption to molar
abundance – and furthermore relating abundances of functional groups to that of carbon atoms poses several challenges. In
this work, we define a set of parameters that model these relationships and apply a probabilistic framework to identify values
consistent with collocated field measurements of thermal–optical reflectance organic carbon (TOR OC). Parameter values
are characterized for various sample types identified by cluster analysis of sample FTIR spectra, which are available for 17 sites in the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) monitoring network (7 sites in 2011 and
10 additional sites in 2013). The cluster analysis appears to separate samples according to predominant influence by dust,
residential wood burning, wildfire, urban sources, and biogenic aerosols. Functional groups calibrations of aliphatic CH, alcohol COH, carboxylic acid COOH, carboxylate COO, and amine NH2
combined together reproduce TOR OC concentrations with reasonable agreement (r=0.96 for 2474 samples) and provide
OM∕OC values generally consistent with our current best estimate of ambient OC. The mean OM∕OC ratios corresponding to
sample types determined from cluster analysis range between 1.4 and 2.0, though ratios for individual samples exhibit a larger
range. Trends in OM∕OC for sites aggregated by region or year are compared with another regression approach for estimating
OM∕OC ratios from a mass closure equation of the major chemical species contributing to PM fine mass. Differences in OM∕OC
estimates are observed according to estimation method and are explained through the sample types determined from spectral
profiles of the PM.
Lower boundary conditions in land surface models – effects on the permafrost and the carbon pools: a case study with CLM4.5
Authors: Hermoso de Mendoza Ignacio , Beltrami Hugo , MacDougall Andrew H. , Mareschal Jean-Claude 
Published: March 2020

Abstract. Earth system models (ESMs) use bottom boundaries for their land surface model (LSM) components which are shallower than the depth reached by surface temperature changes in the centennial timescale associated with recent climate change. Shallow bottom boundaries reflect energy to the surface, which along with the lack of geothermal heat flux in current land surface models, alter the surface energy balance and therefore affect some feedback processes between the ground surface and the atmosphere, such as permafrost and soil carbon stability. To evaluate these impacts, we modified the subsurface model in the Community Land Model version 4.5 (CLM4.5) by setting a non-zero crustal heat flux bottom boundary condition uniformly across the model and by increasing the depth of the lower boundary from 42.1 to 342.1 m. The modified and original land models were run during the period 1901–2005 under the historical forcing and between 2005 and 2300 under forcings for two future scenarios of moderate (Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5; RCP4.5) and high (RCP8.5) emissions. Increasing the thickness of the subsurface by 300 m increases the heat stored in the subsurface by 72 ZJ (1 ZJ = 1021 J) by the year 2300 for the RCP4.5 scenario and 201 ZJ for the RCP8.5 scenario (respective increases of 260 % and 217 % relative to the shallow model), reduces the loss of near-surface permafrost area in the Northern Hemisphere between 1901 and 2300 by 1.6 %–1.9 %, reduces the loss of intermediate-depth permafrost area (above 42.1 m depth) by a factor of 3–5.5 and reduces the loss of soil carbon by 1.6 %–3.6 %. Each increase of 20 mW m−2 of the crustal heat flux increases the temperature at 3.8 m (the soil–bedrock interface) by 0.04±0.01 K. This decreases near-surface permafrost area slightly (0.3 %–0.8 %) and produces local differences in initial stable size of the soil carbon pool across the permafrost region, which reduces the loss of soil carbon across the region by as much as 1.1 %–5.6 % for the two scenarios. Reducing subsurface thickness from 42.1 to 3.8 m, used by many LSMs, produces a larger effect than increasing it to 342.1 m, because 3.8 m is not enough to damp the annual signal and the subsurface closely follows the air temperature. We determine the optimal subsurface thickness to be 100 m for a 100-year simulation and 200 m for a simulation of 400 years. We recommend short-term simulations to use a subsurface of at least 40 m, to avoid the perturbation of seasonal temperature propagation.

Authors: Eaton Aubrie , Egelund Tosha , Ng John 
Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVES Adequate hydration status prior to chemotherapy initiation prevents nephrotoxicity in patients receiving potentially nephrotoxic regimens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the time to initiation of ifosfamide administration between patients receiving standard 6-hour pre-hydration versus 1-hour rapid pre-hydration.
METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to determine the primary endpoint of time to ifosfamide administration. Patients 1 to 21 years of age who received ifosfamide with standard 6-hour pre-hydration (125 mL/m2/hr for 6 hours) between September 2017 and January 2018 or 1-hour rapid pre-hydration (750 mL/m2/hr for 1 hour) between September 2018 and March 2019 were included. Secondary endpoints included the incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis, incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), urine specific gravity, amount of time that ifosfamide was delayed from the originally scheduled administration time, the number of times ifosfamide was delayed greater than 4 hours from the originally scheduled administration time, and length of stay.
RESULTS A total of 128 patients were included; 68 patients received standard 6-hour pre-hydration and 60 patients received 1-hour rapid pre-hydration prior to ifosfamide administration. Time to ifosfamide administration was reduced from an average of 9.3 hours to 2.4 hours (p &lt; 0.0001). There was no incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis or AKI in either group.
CONCLUSIONS The 1-hour rapid pre-hydration protocol significantly reduced the time to ifosfamide administration without an increase in adverse effects.
Intravenous Immunoglobulin Infusion Reactions in Kawasaki Disease Patients Who Undergo Sedation
Authors: Nguyen Elizabeth , Hershey Daniel , Romanowski Gale , Tremoulet Adriana 
Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVES Although IVIG infusions are usually well tolerated, reactions can include hypotension, chills, and, rarely, anaphylactic reactions. Risk of adverse reactions correlates with dose and rate of IVIG infusion. An echocardiogram is the preferred imaging modality to detect coronary artery changes in acute Kawasaki disease (KD), but the quality of the study can be compromised if a child moves much during the imaging procedure. Thus, sedation is often required for children younger than 3 years of age. There is concern regarding coadministration of IVIG and sedatives. Therefore, the purpose of this analysis is to determine when the majority of IVIG infusion reactions occur to help find the optimal time to safely perform a sedated echocardiogram in patients with KD.METHODS This is a retrospective, single-center analysis of patients with KD administered IVIG at Rady Children's Hospital San Diego from November 1, 2013, to October 31, 2016.RESULTS Of the 260 subjects in this study, 34 (13%) had an IVIG infusion reaction consisting of either chills or hypotension. There were no anaphylactic reactions. All infusion reactions occurred within 4 hours of starting IVIG. No hypotension reactions occurred after 4 hours. All subjects were able to complete their IVIG infusion without any further complications.CONCLUSIONS Given that the maximum IVIG infusion rate is reached at 1.5 hours per our hospital's policy and that the overwhelming majority of infusion reactions occurred within the first 4 hours, we found it is safe to coadminister IVIG with sedation 4 hours after initiation of IVIG infusion.

Authors: Hanretty Alexandra M. , Moore Wayne S. , Chopra Arun , Cies Jeffrey J. 
Published: March 2020

OBJECTIVES To describe the pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin in an obese adolescent patient in the pediatric intensive care unit.
METHODS A single-patient medical record review was conducted.
RESULTS A 168-kg, 15-year-old female with past medical history of Prader-Willi syndrome and asthma initially presented with respiratory distress secondary to asthma exacerbation. She failed non-invasive ventilation and was subsequently intubated for respiratory failure and progressed to high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. On hospital day 1 (HD 1) an infectious workup was begun because of a fever, worsening clinical status, and initiation of vasopressors and an empiric antimicrobial regimen of cefepime and clindamycin. The urine culture subsequently grew Escherichia coli and the respiratory culture grew Pseudomonas aeruginosa. She continued to be febrile, which was thought to be due to an intra-abdominal abscess. On HD 14, the antimicrobial regimen was changed to levofloxacin because of continued fevers and no significant clinical improvement. Levofloxacin was initiated at 1000 mg IV every 24 hours. Levofloxacin serum levels were obtained at 0.5, 3.5, and 11.5 hours after infusion, which were 8.61, 5.76, and 2.7 mg/L, respectively. These concentrations translated into a peak level of 8.79 mg/L, a half-life of 6.4 hours, and an AUC of 80 mg·hr/L, which are discordant from the expected peak of 16 mg/L, a half-life of 8 hours, and an AUC of 120 mg·hr/L. Based on these values, the levofloxacin regimen was adjusted to 1000 mg IV every 12 hours, and repeat levels 0.5, 3.5, and 11.5 hours after infusion were 9.91, 6.56, and 3.27 mg/L, respectively, corresponding to a peak of 10.5 mg/L, a half-life of 5.18 hours, and an AUC of 200 mg·hr/L. After the adjustment in levofloxacin regimen, she became afebrile, WBC resolution and improvement in her overall clinical status, and she received a total duration for levofloxacin of 21 days.
CONCLUSION A levofloxacin regimen of 1000 mg IV every 12 hours was successful in providing for an appropriate AUC exposure and was associated with a successful clinical outcome in this morbidly obese adolescent.
The default cyanobacterial linked genome: an interactive platform based on cyanobacterial linkage networks to assist functional genomics
Authors: Labella Jose I. , Llop Antonio , Contreras Asuncion 
Published: March 2020

A database of cyanobacterial linked genomes that can be accessed through an interactive platform (https://dfgm.ua.es/genetica/investigacion/cyanobacterial_genetics/Resources.html) was generated on the bases of conservation of gene neighborhood across 124 cyanobacterial species. It allows flexible generation of gene networks at different threshold values. The default cyanobacterial linked genome, whose global properties are analyzed here, connects most of the cyanobacterial core genes. The potential of the web tool is discussed in relation to other bioinformatics approaches based on guilty‐by‐association principles, with selected examples of networks illustrating its usefulness for genes found exclusively in cyanobacteria or in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. We believe that this tool will provide useful predictions that are readily testable in Synechococcus elongatus PCC7942 and other model organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis.
