AbstractTolerogenic dendritic cells (tolDCs) are central players in the maintenance of immune tolerance and thereby have been identified as the most favourable candidates for cell therapy of autoimmune diseases. We have recently shown that excretory-secretory products (ES L1) released by Trichinella spiralis larvae induce stable human tolDCs in vitro via Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR4. However, engagement of these receptors did not fully explain the tolerogenic profile of DCs. Here, we observed for the first time that dendritic cell-specific ICAM-3 grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) interacts with highly glycosylated ES L1 and contributes to the generation of ES L1-induced tolDCs. Blocking DC-SIGN interfered with the ES L1-induced higher expression of CD40 and CCR7 and the production of IL-10 and TGF-β by DCs. The cooperation of TLR2, TLR4 and DC-SIGN receptors is of importance for the capacity of DCs to prime T cell response toward Th2 and to induce expansion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells, as well as for the production of IL-10 and TGF-β by these cells. Overall, these results indicate that induction of tolDCs by ES L1 involves engagement of multiple pattern recognition receptors namely, TLR2, TLR4 and DC-SIGN.

Lung Cancer Screening by Low-Dose Computed Tomography – Part 1: Expected Benefits, Possible Harms, and Criteria for Eligibility and Population Targeting
Authors: Kaaks Rudolf , Delorme Stefan 
Published: November 2020

Background Trials in the USA and Europe have convincingly demonstrated the efficacy of screening by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) as a means to lower lung cancer mortality, but also document potential harms related to radiation, psychosocial stress, and invasive examinations triggered by false-positive screening tests and overdiagnosis. To ensure that benefits (lung cancer deaths averted; life years gained) outweigh the risk of harm, lung cancer screening should be targeted exclusively to individuals who have an elevated risk of lung cancer, plus sufficient residual life expectancy.Methods and Conclusions Overall, randomized screening trials show an approximate 20 % reduction in lung cancer mortality by LDCT screening. In view of declining residual life expectancy, especially among continuing long-term smokers, risk of being over-diagnosed is likely to increase rapidly above the age of 75. In contrast, before age 50, the incidence of LC may be generally too low for screening to provide a positive balance of benefits to harms and financial costs. Concise criteria as used in the NLST or NELSON trials may provide a basic guideline for screening eligibility. An alternative would be the use of risk prediction models based on smoking history, sex, and age as a continuous risk factor. Compared to concise criteria, such models have been found to identify a 10 % to 20 % larger number of LC patients for an equivalent number of individuals to be screened, and additionally may help provide security that screening participants will all have a high-enough LC risk to balance out harm potentially caused by radiation or false-positive screening tests.Key Points: Citation Format
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and Early Onset Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy associated with Mutations in Dystrophin and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy-Associated Genes
Authors: Aspit Liam , Arwas Noga , Levitas Aviva , Krymko Hanna , Etzion Yoram , Parvari Ruti 
Published: November 2020

AbstractDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive muscular damage disorder caused by mutations in dystrophin gene. Cardiomyopathy may first be evident after 10 years of age and increases in incidence with age. We present a boy diagnosed at 18 months with a rare phenotype of DMD in association with early-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The cause of DMD is a deletion of exons 51–54 of dystrophin gene. The cause of HCM was verified by whole exome sequencing. Novel missense variations in two genes: MAP2K5 inherited from the mother and ACTN2 inherited from the father, or de novo. The combination of MAP2K5, ACTN2, and dystrophin mutations, could be causing the HCM in our patient. This is the second patient diagnosed, at relatively young age, with DMD and HCM, with novel variations in genes known to cause HCM. This study demonstrates the need for genetic diagnosis to elucidate the underlying pathology of HCM.

Published: November 2020

AbstractPercutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopy and cholecystoscopy have a growing place in the interventional radiology suite. Patients with indwelling tubes who may have once been left with limited options for stone extraction, targeted biopsy, and/or chronic biliary stricture can now have comprehensive care of their disease process by an interventional radiologist. There are a variety of low-profile and large-profile devices available in the hospital that can be repurposed for use in the biliary system and gallbladder. In many situations, these tools can be used to render patients with limited transoral endoscopic options and chronic indwelling tubes, tube free. This article provides an introduction to biliary endoscopy and cholecystoscopy and their role for the interventional radiologist.

Published: November 2020

AbstractPancreatic adenocarcinoma is a highly aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis secondary to late presentation with metastases, challenging resection, and limited alternative therapies. Standard treatment strategies for pancreatic cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. These options can extend survival and/or relieve symptoms but are seldom curative. Thermal ablative therapies have been utilized in pancreatic cancer mostly in an open surgical setting. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a nonthermal ablative option for pancreatic cancer that uses high voltage, low energy direct current to induce cell death. IRE technology has been shown to spare critical structures such as blood vessels and bile ducts. The safety and efficacy of the percutaneous IRE in Stage 3 pancreas cancer has been studied and there is currently a Food and Drug Administration approved, randomized, controlled trial, and registry enrolling patients in the United States. Recent animal studies have also demonstrated that the advantages of IRE may extend beyond the local tumor effect. In addition to this local ablative option, a phase 3 trial is studying a transarterial option in the management of pancreatic cancer.
An investigation of in-ear sensing for motor task classification
Authors: Wu Xiaoli , Zhang Wenhui , Fu Zhibo , Cheung Roy T H , Chan Rosa H M 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objective. Our study aims to investigate the feasibility of in-ear sensing for human–computer interface. Approach. We first measured the agreement between in-ear biopotential and scalp-electroencephalogram (EEG) signals by channel correlation and power spectral density analysis. Then we applied EEG compact network (EEGNet) for the classification of a two-class motor task using in-ear electrophysiological signals. Main results. The best performance using in-ear biopotential with global reference reached an average accuracy of 70.22% (cf 92.61% accuracy using scalp-EEG signals), but the performance in-ear biopotential with near-ear reference was poor. Significance. Our results suggest in-ear sensing would be a viable human–computer interface for movement prediction, but careful consideration should be given to the position of the reference electrode.
Efficient high resolution sLORETA in brain source localization
Authors: Sadat-Nejad Younes , Beheshti Soosan 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objective. Estimation of the source location within the brain from electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography measures is a challenging task. Among the existing techniques in the field, which are known as brain imaging methods, standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) is the most popular method due to its simplicity and high accuracy. However, in this work we illustrate that sLORETA is still noisy and the additive noise is causing the blurry image. The existing pre-fixed/manual thresholding process after sLORETA can partially take care of denoising. However, this ad-hoc theresholding can either remove so much of the desired data or leave much of the noise in the process. Manual correction to avoid such extreme cases can be time-consuming. The objective of this paper is to automate the denoising process in the form of adaptive thresholding. Approach. The proposed method, denoted by efficient high-resolution sLORETA (EHR-sLORETA), is based on minimizing the error between the desired denoised source and the source estimates. Main results. The approach is evaluated using synthetic EEG and real EEG data. spatial dispersion (SD), and mean square error (MSE) are used as metrics to provide the quantitative performance of the method. In addition, qualitative analysis of the method is provided for real EEG data. This proposed model demonstrates advantages over the existing methods in sense of accuracy and robustness with SD and MSE comparison. Significance. EHR-sLORETA could have a significant impact on clinical studies with source estimation task, as it improves the accuracy of source estimation and eliminates the need for manual thresholding.

Abstract
HADES (High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer) is located at the GSI (Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung) Darmstadt. It is an experiment focused on the study of the hot and dense nuclear matter mainly via the detection of the di-lepton pairs. Electromagnetic CALorimeter (ECAL) was recently added to the HADES setup. This new subdetector allows measuring of photons from the decay of neutral mesons and resonances. It also allows to discriminate between electrons and pions in the high-momenta region over 400 MeV/c. ECAL follows same hexagonal geometry as HADES, i.e. it consists of six sectors in azimuth. The first four sectors were finished and commissioned in 2018. The first experiment with ECAL included in HADES setup took place on March 2019, investigating the Ag+Ag reaction at beam energy of 1.65 A GeV. During the commissioning, several issues popped up and they were addressed. The issues and their solution will be described in the article.

Authors: Karpushkin N , Finogeev D , Golubeva M , Guber F , Ivashkin A , Izvestnyy A , Morozov S 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The results of beam tests of the hadron calorimeter with transverse and longitudinal segmentation and with the micropixel photodetectors light readout performed at CERN T9 and T10 beamlines in proton momentum range 2-10 GeV/c are shown. The new signal processing technique based on the waveform fitting of calorimeter signals using the Prony least squares method is proposed. This technique allows to identify weak signals comparable to the level of electronic noise, which is important for performing a muon calibration of calorimeter sections. For the energy calibration of the hadron calorimeter sections with cosmic muons, a new approach that uses the reconstruction of the muon track in the calorimeter is proposed.
Overview of quarkonium production studies at the STAR experiment
Authors: Kosarzewski Leszek 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Quarkonium states can be used to study the properties of the quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions. However, Cold Nuclear Matter (CNM) effects need to be taken into account when interpreting the quarkonium suppression observed in these collisions. In addition, the quarkonium production mechanism in elementary collisions need to be better understood. These proceedings contains an overview of recent quarkonium measurements with the STAR experiment. A comprehensive study of both J/ψ and Υ production is performed in different colliding systems (p+p, p+Au, Au+Au).
The gravitational wave damping timescales of f-modes in neutron stars
Authors: Lioutas Georgios , Stergioulas Nikolaos 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Gravitational asteroseismology studies applied to neutron stars aim to relate stellar properties to characteristics of the gravitational wave signal. In the case of non-rotating neutron stars, gravitational waves produced by linear oscillations are characterized by their pulsation frequency and damping timescale. We focus on the main emitter, the quadrupole fundamental mode, and review a higher order empirical relation for the damping timescale, which was initially presented in [1]. The relation is accurate throughout a wide range of compactness, covering the expected values for neutron stars, while involving only the mass and radius and no other quantity, such as the moment of inertia.

The FOOT experiment
Authors: Ridolfi Riccardo 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The main goal of the FOOT (FragmentatiOn Of Target) experiment is the measurement of the differential cross sections with respect to the energy and angle of the produced fragments in nuclear interactions between an ion beam, such as proton, Helium, Carbon, and different targets (proton, Carbon, Oxygen). Two important fields can benefit from these kind of measurements: firstly, in the 150 — 400MeV/u beam energy range, the data will be used to evaluate the nuclear fragmentation occurring in a standard hadrontherapy treatment and thus potential side effects. Secondly, in the 700 — 1000MeV/u beam energy range, the FOOT experiment aims at studying novel shields for spacecrafts involved in long term missions within the Solar System. The experiment has been funded by INFN since September 2017 and it is currently in its construction phase while the first data taking is scheduled by the end of 2020. A description of the experiment and a overview of expected performances and test beam results will be presented.

Abstract
Isobaric charge-exchange reactions induced by beams of 112Sn have been investigated at the GSI facilities using the fragment separator FRS. The high-resolving power of this spectrometer makes it possible to obtain the isobaric charge-exchange cross sections with an accuracy of 3% and to separate quasi-elastic and inelastic contributions in the missing-energy spectra, in which the inelastic component is associated to the in-medium excitation of baryonic resonances such as the Δ resonance. We report on the results obtained for the (p,n) and (n,p) channels excited by using different targets that cover a large range in neutron excess.
Exotic and conventional quarkonium physics prospects at Belle II
Authors: Scavino Bianca 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The Belle II experiment belongs to a new generation of B-factories, and it is located at the SuperKEKB collider. Its goal is to collect an integrated luminosity of 50 ab-1, corresponding to a data sample that is 50 times larger than the one collected by its predecessor Belle. From February to July 2018, the machine has completed a commissioning run, achieving a peak luminosity of 5.5 × 1033 cm-2 s-1, and a data sample of about 0.5 fb-1 has been recorded. Belle II is capable of studying the so-called XYZ states with unprecedented precision: heavy exotic hadrons consisting of more than three quarks. First discovered by Belle, these now number in the dozens, and represent the emergence of a new category within quantum chromodynamics. In this paper, a general introduction to the experiment is presented, together with the perspectives for studies of conventional and exotic quarkonium-like states.
Exploring the partonic phase at finite chemical potential within a covariant off-shell transport approach
Authors: Soloveva E , Moreau P , Oliva L , Song T , Bratkovskaya E L , Cassing W 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
We report on the extended Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach in the partonic sector by explicitly calculating the total and differential partonic scattering cross sections as a function of temperature T and baryon chemical potential μऔ on the basis of the effective propagators and couplings from the Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM). We calculated the ratio of shear viscosity η over entropy density s, i.e. η/s is evaluated using the collisional widths and compared to lQCD calculations for μB = 0 as well. We find that the ratio η/s does not differ very much from that calculated within the original DQPM on the basis of the Kubo formalism. Furthermore, there is only a very modest change of η/s with the baryon chemical μB as a function of the scaled temperature T/TC(μ
B). This also holds for a variety of hadronic observables from central A+A collisions in the energy range 5 GeV

Abstract
We investigate the phase structure of the 2 + 1 dimensional Gross-Neveu model in the large-Nf
limit, where Nf
denotes the number of fermion flavors. We discuss two different fermion representations and their implication on the interpretation of a discrete symmetry of the action. We present numerical results, which indicate the existence of an inhomogeneous phase similar as in the 1+1-dimensional Gross-Neveu model.
A review of energy-for-water data in energy-water nexus publications
Authors: Chini Christopher M , Excell Lauren E , Stillwell Ashlynn S 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Published literature on the energy-water nexus continues to increase, yet much of the supporting data, particularly regarding energy-for-water, remains obscure or inaccessible. We perform a systematic review of literature that describes the primary energy and electricity demands for drinking water and wastewater systems in urban environments. This review provides an analysis of the underlying data and other properties of over 170 published studies by systematically creating metadata on each study. Over 45% of the evaluated studies utilized primary data sources (data collected directly from utilities), potentially enabling large-scale data sharing and a more comprehensive understanding of global water-related energy demand. The most prevalent geographic scale of the existing literature was at the individual city scale (39%), limiting comparisons between utilities. Additionally, energy-for-water studies span 34 different countries with 11 countries having at least 4 published studies. The analyzed literature often considered greenhouse gas emissions of energy demand as an important input for life cycle analysis, highlighting the broader impact of the energy-water nexus. As a result of the review, we identify several common practices for filling data gaps, discover that research and data are primarily concentrated in three countries (Australia, China, and the United States), and offer suggestions for the future of the energy-water nexus, specifically regarding energy-for-water.
