AbstractWith the aim of wood production with negligible negative effects on biodiversity and ecosystem processes, a silvicultural practice of selective logging with natural regeneration has been implemented in European beech forests (Fagus sylvatica) during the last decades. Despite this near‐to‐nature strategy, species richness of various taxa is lower in these forests than in unmanaged forests. To develop guidelines to minimize the fundamental weaknesses in the current practice, we linked functional traits of saproxylic beetle species to ecosystem characteristics. We used continental‐scale data from 8 European countries and regional‐scale data from a large forest in southern Germany and forest‐stand variables that represented a gradient of intensity of forest use to evaluate the effect of current near‐to‐nature management strategies on the functional diversity of saproxylic beetles. Forest‐stand variables did not have a statistically significant effect on overall functional diversity, but they did significantly affect community mean and diversity of single functional traits. As the amount of dead wood increased the composition of assemblages shifted toward dominance of larger species and species preferring dead wood of large diameter and in advanced stages of decay. The mean amount of dead wood across plots in which most species occurred was from 20 to 60 m3/ha. Species occurring in plots with mean dead wood >60 m3/ha were consistently those inhabiting dead wood of large diameter and in advanced stages of decay. On the basis of our results, to make current wood‐production practices in beech forests throughout Europe more conservation oriented (i.e., promoting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning), we recommend increasing the amount of dead wood to >20 m3/ha; not removing dead wood of large diameter (50 cm) and allowing more dead wood in advanced stages of decomposition to develop; and designating strict forest reserves, with their exceptionally high amounts of dead wood, that would serve as refuges for and sources of saproxylic habitat specialists.Efectos Actuales del Manejo Casi Natural de Bosques sobre la Composición de Atributos Funcionales de Escarabajos Saproxílicos en Bosques de Haya
The Relationship Between Depressive/Anxiety Symptoms During Pregnancy/Postpartum and Sexual Life Decline After Delivery
Authors: Faisal-Cury Alexandre , Huang Hsiang , Chan Ya-Fen , Menezes Paulo Rossi 
Published: February 2013

ABSTRACT

Introduction
Several factors have been found to be independently associated with decline in sexual activity after delivery. However, the association between depression in pregnancy/postpartum and sexual problems is less clear.

Aim
To prospectively evaluate the relationship between depressive/anxiety symptoms (DAS) during the perinatal period and sexual life in the postpartum period.

Methods
A prospective cohort study conducted between May 2005 and March 2007 included 831 pregnant women recruited from primary care clinics of the public sector in São Paulo, Brazil. Four groups with DAS during antenatal and postpartum periods were identified using the Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20): absence of both antenatal and postpartum DAS; presence of antenatal DAS only; presence of postpartum DAS only; and presence of both antenatal and postpartum DAS. The primary outcome was perception of sexual life decline (SLD) before and after pregnancy/delivery. Crude and adjusted risk ratios (RR), with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI), were calculated using Poisson regression to examine the associations between DAS and SLD.

Main Outcome Measure
The main outcome measure of this study is the perception of SLD before and after pregnancy/delivery.

Results
SLD occurred in 21.1% of the cohort. In the multivariable analysis, the following variables were independently associated with SLD: DAS during both pregnancy and postpartum (RR: 3.17 [95% CI: 2.18–4.59]); DAS during only the postpartum period (RR: 3.45 [95% CI: 2.39–4.98]); a previous miscarriage (RR: 1.54 [95% CI: 1.06–2.23]); and maternal age (RR: 2.11 [95% CI: 1.22–3.65]).

Conclusions
Postpartum women with DAS have an increased likelihood for SLD up to 18 months after delivery. Efforts to improve the rates of recognition and treatment of perinatal depression/anxiety in primary care settings have the potential to preserve sexual functioning for low-income mothers.

Published: February 2013

BackgroundLittle information exists on the illness and injury patterns of athletes preparing for the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Among the possible explanations for the current lack of knowledge are the methodological challenges faced in conducting prospective studies of large, heterogeneous groups of athletes, particularly when overuse injuries and illnesses are of concern.ObjectiveTo describe a new surveillance method that is capable of recording all types of health problems and to use it to study the illness and injury patterns of Norwegian athletes preparing for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.MethodsA total of 142 athletes were monitored over a 40-week period using a weekly online questionnaire on health problems. Team medical personnel were used to classify and diagnose all reported complaints.ResultsA total of 617 health problems were registered during the project, including 329 illnesses and 288 injuries. At any given time, 36% of athletes had health problems (95% CI 34% to 38%) and 15% of athletes (95% CI 14% to 16%) had substantial problems, defined as those leading to moderate or severe reductions in sports performance or participation, or time loss. Overuse injuries represented 49% of the total burden of health problems, measured as the cumulative severity score, compared to illness (36%) and acute injuries (13%).ConclusionsThe new method was sensitive and valid in documenting the pattern of acute injuries, overuse injuries and illnesses in a large, heterogeneous group of athletes preparing for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Les Discours de La Terreur à L’époque Révolutionnaire (1776–1798): Etude Comparative Sur Une Notion Ambiguë
Authors: Jourdan Annie 
Published: February 2013

Cet article propose une interprétation nouvelle du discours terroriste de la Révolution française et, comme telle, s’inscrit dans un débat majeur. Des interprétations récentes ont en effet mis en doute la proclamation par la Convention de la « Terreur à l’ordre du jour » du 5 septembre 1793. Pourtant l’expression a été utilisée maintes fois dans les mois suivants, si bien qu’elle est passée à la postérité comme marquant la période entière. Il s’agira donc ici de s’interroger sur l’usage de la notion de terreur avant et durant cette période, sur ces significations diverses et variées, non seulement en France, mais aussi aux Etats-Unis et en Hollande, dans l’espoir de mieux comprendre la dynamique propre aux révolutions.
This article offers a new interpretation of the discourse of terror during the French Revolution and as such takes part in the major debate on this topic. Recent interpretations have called into question the proclamation by the Convention of “terror as the order of the day” of September 5, 1793. However, the expression was used many times afterward, so that it has been passed down to posterity as characterizing the entire Jacobin period. The aim here is to explore the deployment of the notion of terror before and during this period, together with the varied meanings given this term, not only in France but also in the United States and in Holland, in the hope of a better understanding of the revolutionary process.

Summary
Biological adhesives are materials of particular interest in the fields of bio-inspired technology and antifouling research. The adhesive of adult barnacles has received much attention over the years, however the permanent adhesive of the cyprid - the colonisation stage of barnacles - is a material about which very little is presently known. We apply confocal laser-scanning microscopy to the measurement of contact angles between the permanent adhesive of barnacle cypris larvae and self-assembled monolayers of OH- and CH3-terminated thiols. Measurement of contact angles between actual bioadhesives and surfaces has never previously been achieved and the data may provide insight into the physicochemical properties and mechanism of action of these functional materials. The adhesive is a dual-phase system post-secretion, with the behaviour of the components governed separately by the surface chemistry. The findings imply that the cyprid permanent adhesion process is more complex than previously thought, necessitating broad re-evaluation of the system. Improved understanding will have significant implications for the production of barnacle-resistant coatings as well as development of bio-inspired glues for niche applications.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the level of calcium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus and potassium in the waters flowing from the roofs of houses with varying degrees of coverage on the background of their contents in rain waters. On the basis of the Minister of Environment Decree of 24 July 2006 on conditions to be met for the introduction of sewage into the water or ground and on substances particularly harmful to the aquatic environment, runoff from paved areas shall be treated as sewage, and runoff from roofs of buildings are treated as pure water and can be discharged into the environment without a permit. However, literature data indicate the possibility of a significant enrichment of rainwater at the time of contact with the roof covering. The study included 24 roofs of houses or small trade buildings. As background to the research used rainwater collected in two randomly selected locations within the area of research. The study was conducted in areas with low human impact, in order to best capture the effect of the type of roofing material on the formation of water chemistry. Research area was located in the Luslawice in the Tarnow county in Malopolska province. The study included the most common roofs in the surveyed area: cement tile, ceramic tile, bituminous, unpainted galvanized metal, copper and asbestos cement. The tested water samples to determine the content of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium and potassium. In addition, it was determined the pH value of water and electrolytic conductivity. The results of this study indicate that the water runs off the roofs of respondents in each case contained a greater quantity of the analyzed elements in comparison with rainwater. For example, while the average content of magnesium in the water flowing from the tile cement was almost ten times higher than in rain water, in the case of tile ceramic was almost five times more water from the bituminous coverings contained about three times more magnesium, and water from the galvanized metal contained about six times more as compared with rainwater. Also in the case of most other elements enrichment factors found in the waters cover the cement (tile, and asbestos cement) then galvanized and coated while the lowest were recorded in the enrichment of waters from the roofs of the covering of ceramic tiles. Also noted an increase in the conductivity values in waters from the roofs of the coverings of cement, galvanized steel and ceramic tiles. All runoff from the roofs were of generally higher pH value compared with rainwater, the biggest reaction - about 8 found in the water with cement tiles, slightly lower, about 7.0 in water from roofs with ceramic tiles and sheet copper. pH of the water in the coated sheet was lower than in water, rainwater and oscillating within 5.5. Rainwater pH was 5.94.

Effect of Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) on Cytokine Levels and Haemostatic and Biochemical Parameters in A Rat Endotoxaemic Model
Authors: Col Ramazan , Durgun Zafer 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
The presented study was planned to determine whether vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) could prevent cytokine haemostatic, haematological, and biochemical disturbances in LPS-treated rats. Adult male Wistar rats (weight range: 200-250 g) were used. The study included four groups: group 1 served as a control group (C); animals in group 2 were given intravenously 1.6 mg/100 g of LPS (E. coli, serotype 0.111:B4); in group 3, rats were injected intraperitoneally with 25 ng/kg of VIP; in group 4, the same doses of VIP and LPS were injected simultaneously. Blood samples were collected 6 h after treatments. In endotoxaemic rats, platelet count, fibrinogen, and antithrombin levels were decreased, the activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time were prolonged, and leucopoenia, as well as significant changes in differential leukocyte percentage were demonstrated. In addition, LPS caused statistically significant increases in plasma TNF- , IL-6, and IL-10 levels, and AST, ALT, creatinine, cholesterol, triglyceride concentrations. However, it caused a statistically significant decrease in total protein and albumin levels when compared to control group. The results showed that during endotoxaemia, VIP had moderately therapeutic effect as an antiinflammatory agent, suppressing TNF-α and IL-6, and stimulating IL-10; however, it was not effective against the adverse effect of LPS on investigated haematological and biochemical parameters.

Abstract
The paper describes the data concerning rabies in domestic animals and in wildlife as well as in bats in Poland in 2009 and 2010. Analysis of rabies situation was based on species involved and geographical distribution of rabies outbreaks. Favourable decreasing trend in rabies epidemic in 2009 was stopped by the outbreak of rabies in the Malopolska province in 2010. This resulted in dramatic increase in the number of rabies cases. Emergency vaccination in the zone of rabies outbreak with increased number of vaccines per km2 in bordering areas of the province has improved epizootic situation, which returned to the state before the outbreak. To monitor rabies situation a strict supervision of all elements of the ORV and surveillance of rabies is necessary.

Published: February 2013

Abstract
The strains of adenoviruses were isolated from 356 birds with clinical form of Marek’s disease and coinfection with adenoviruses. A hexon gene fragment coding loop L1 of adenovirus strains was sequenced and obtained data were analysed with BLAST, Geneious 5.3, and MEGA5 software by comparison with nucleotide sequences of reference strains of fowl adenoviruses (FAdV-1 - FadV-12), two turkey adenoviruses, and two goose adenovirus strains. On this basis, serotypes of adenovirus strains were determined. Sequences of all adenovirus strains isolated from birds infected with Marek’s disease virus were classified into six serotypes representing four species. Mostly FAdV-7, FAdV2/11, and FAdV-8a serotypes were found.

Published: February 2013

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the influence of simultaneous infection of chicken embryo fibroblasts (CEF) with different doses of adenovirus field strain serotype 7 (FAdV-7 JN-5/10j) and turkey herpesvirus strain FC126 (FC126 HVT) on replication of the herpesvirus in in vitro cultures. Three experiments were performed: simultaneous infection of CEF with adenovirus and HVT; inoculation of CEF culture with adenovirus, followed by infection with HVT after 24 h; and inoculation of CEF with HVT, followed by the infection with adenovirus 24 h later. In order to detect the presence of HVT and adenovirus strains in CEF culture, SORF 1 and hexon genes were determined, respectively. The infection with adenovirus lowered replication of FC126 HVT in chicken embryo fibroblast.

Authors: Banaszkiewicz Teresa 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of high rape cake content and microbial phytase added to low-phosphorus diet on deposition of nutrients and energy in body of broiler chickens and quality of their bones. At the beginning, seven 1-day-old Ross 308 chickens were weighed, slaughtered, dried, and their bodies were analysed for gross energy and nutrient content. Next, 90 one-day-old chickens were randomly divided into three groups. The group I was fed control diet (RC), which contained 15% (starter) and 20% (grower) of rape cake of Lirajet cultivar with P (7.5 g kg-1) and Ca (10 g.kg-1). The group I I was fed diet denoted as RC LP, which contained less P and Ca (5.8 g.kg-1 and 6.8 g.kg-1, respectively) than the control diet. The diet for group III, denoted RC LP+ Phy, contained 5.8 g.kg-1 of P and 6.8 g.kg-1of Ca, and was supplemented with enzyme preparation containing 0.35g.kg-1 of phytase. On the 21st d of life, the chickens were weighed and six birds from each group were slaughtered, dried, and analysed. The rest of the chickens were fed grower mixtures to 49 d of age and then six chickens were slaughtered and the quality of their bones was evaluated. The reduction of P and Ca contents in diets and phytase application did not influence body weight and feed consumption, but significantly improved the deposition of total phosphorus in chicken body at 1-21 d of age. The highest content of total phosphorus was stated in the femur of the chickens fed diet with normal P and Ca contents. The application of phytase to low-phosphorus diet did not influence the quality of bones.
An update on diagnosis and treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis / Novine u dijagnostici i lečenju toksične epidermalne nekrolize
Authors: Kandolf-Sekulović Lidija 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
Toxic epidermal necrolysis is an idiosyncratic drug reaction which manifests with extensive epidermal detachment due to the massive keratinocyte apoptosis, mucous membrane involvement, and potentially lethal outcome. It is caused by adverse reactions to drugs, mostly idiosyncratic, unpredictable and independent of the applied dose, which develops 7-21 days after initiation of the drug, and is most commonly caused by the following drugs: sulfonamides, allopurinol, carbamazepine, phenobarbitone, phenytoin and oxycam group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The treatment outcome depends on several factors, while older age, multiple drug use, late exclusion of the drug inducing toxic epidermal necrolysis, raised serum levels of urea, creatinine and cytopenia are poor prognostic indicators which are rated in SCORTEN scoring which proved to be of great help in the assessment of disease outcome. The basic approach to the treatment is early diagnosis, immediate suspension of the probable inducing drug, and emergency transport to the closest burn center, since treatment in burn units is associated with a lower risk of infection and mortality of these patients. Exclusion of the drug that induced toxic epidermal necrolysis, and supportive therapy, is the first and only therapy for which there is a consensus in different centers. Various forms of adjuvant therapy are also applied: in France, supportive therapy is a standard of care, in Germany it is short-term use of high-dose corticosteroids, while in USA, in the last decade high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins are the most widely accepted treatment modalities. Case reports and small patients’ series described therapeutic effects of plasmapheresis, cyclosporine and other immunosuppressants. In conclusion, elimination of the possible causal agent, rapid transport to the burn unit, and multidisciplinary approach to treatment are of utmost importance for favorable outcome of the disease with 20-30% mortality rate. An update on diagnosis and the treatment of toxic epidermal necrolysis is provided in this review.
