Authors: Alarcón-Yaquetto Dulce E. , Rueda-Torres Lenin , Bailon Nataly , Barreto Percy Vílchez , Málaga Germán 
Published: November 2023

Objective
We aim to assess the accuracy and effectiveness of the HemoCue 301, a point-of-care (POC) device for measuring hemoglobin levels, and detecting anemia among individuals living in Tumbes, a rural, underserved area in Northern Peru.

Methods
Baseline analysis of a clinical trial aimed at assessing the effect of multi-fortified bread (NCT05103709). Adult women with capillary blood HemoCue 301 readings below 12 g/dL were recruited in coastal city of Tumbes, Peru. A total of 306 women took part of the study, venous blood samples were taken and analyzed with an automated hematology analyzer. Serum samples were used to measure ferritin, serum iron and C reactive protein.

Results
Capillary blood measured by the Hemocue 301 has a bias of 0.36 ± 0.93 g/dL respect to the automated Hb. More than 50% of women with normal ferritin values were classified as anemics according to the HemoCue 301. Automated Hb cut-off of 10.8 g/dL [AUC 0.82 (0.77–0.88)] had a specificity of 0.817 and a sensitivity 0.711 while with the HemoCue 301 cut-off of 11.1 g/dL [AUC 0.71 (0.62–0.79)] had a specificity of 0.697 and a sensitivity 0.688. The performance of the automated Hb cut-off was significantly better than the HemoCue (p<0.001).

Conclusion
Caution must be taken when using POC devices, especially with values around the threshold. Cut-off values found in our study could be used as surrogate means when no confirmatory tests are available. Clinical outcomes should be prioritized when diagnosing iron deficiency anemia in women of reproductive age to ensure proper diagnosis.

Published: November 2023

AbstractThe current study investigated the possible mechanisms of aqueous extract Salvia officinalis flowers (SF‐AE) and its protective effects against hepatorenal toxicities produced by simultaneous acute administration of ethanol (EtOH)/castor oil (CO). Healthy male rats (N = 50) were separated into five equal groups: control, Ethanol (EtOH) + Castor oil (CO), doses of increasing orders of SF‐AE (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg, b.w., p.o.) during 15 days. Liver and kidney injuries were induced by EtOH (4 g/kg, b.w., p.o.) combined with CO (5 mL/kg, b.w., p.o.). Compared to the control group, SF‐AE pretreatment protected against simultaneous administration of EtOH and CO‐caused serious histological alterations in liver and kidney tissues. SF‐AE also reversed liver and kidney biochemical parameters and lipid profile alterations. More importantly, SF‐AE significantly reduced the malondialdehyde (MDA) level and counteracted the depletion of both enzymatic and non‐enzymatic antioxidants. SF‐AE also prevents against inflammation induced by EtOH combined with CO, expressed by the rise of inflammation biomarkers (C‐reactive protein: CRP and alkaline phosphatase: ALP). Additionally, combined EtOH intoxication and CO poisoning exerted an increase in H2O2, free iron and calcium levels. Impressively, SF‐AE treatment regulated levels of these studied intracellular mediators in a dose‐dependent manner. In conclusion, SF‐AE can potentially improve liver and kidney injuries associated with biochemical parameter deregulations, possibly by controlling oxidative stress and inflammation.

Published: November 2023

AbstractExercise‐induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is usually assessed by changes in forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) which is effort dependent. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the diaphragm electromyogram (EMGdi) recorded from chest wall surface electrodes could be used to reflect changes in airway resistance during an exercise challenge test and to distinguish patients with EIB from those without EIB. Ninety participants with or without asthma history were included in the study. FEV1 was recorded before and 5, 10, 15, and 20 min after exercise. EIB was defined as an FEV1 decline greater than 10% after exercise. A ratio of root mean square of EMGdi to tidal volume (EMGdi/VT) was used to assess changes in airway resistance. Based on changes in FEV1, 25 of 90 participants exhibited EIB; the remainder were defined as non‐EIB participants. EMGdi/VT in EIB increased by 124% (19%–478%) which was significantly higher than that of 21% (−39% to 134%) in non‐EIB participants (p < 0.001). At the optimal cutoff point (54% in EMGdi/VT), the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for detection of a positive test was 0.92 (p < 0.001) with sensitivity 92% and specificity 88%. EMGdi/VT can be used to assess changes in airway resistance after exercise and could be used to distinguish participants with EIB from those without EIB.
The effects of treadmill exercise on brain angiogenesis in ovariectomized rats
Authors: Yoon Eun‐Jung , Jeong Jiwon , Yoon Eunji , Park Dongsun 
Published: November 2023

AbstractMenopause is associated with vascular dysfunction attributed to reduced estrogen levels. Exercise has been proposed to promote angiogenesis and vascular dysfunction. However, studies of brain angiogenesis during menopause are limited. We analyzed the effects of exercise on angiogenesis‐related factors in menopausal rat model. Twenty‐week‐old female Sprague–Dawley rats (N = 18) were randomly divided into a normal control group (N, n = 6), an ovariectomized control group (OVX, n = 6), and an ovariectomy + exercise group (OVX‐EX, n = 6). Treadmill exercises were conducted in the OVX‐EX group for 8 weeks (15–60 m/min, 1 h/day, and 5 days/week). The current study showed that the expression of angiogenesis‐related factors (platelet‐derived growth factor subunit A, B, vascular endothelial growth factor, angiopoietin 1, and angiopoietin 2) significantly decreased in the cortex of the OVX group. However, these factors were significantly restored in the cortex of the OVX‐EX group after 8 weeks of treadmill exercise. In summary, estrogen deficiency causes vascular dysfunction by inhibiting the expression of angiogenesis‐related factors. However, exercise can restore angiogenesis‐related factors in OVX rats. Exercise eventually prevents vascular dysfunction in the brain and may help prevent cognitive dysfunction in menopausal women.
Oral intake of collagen hydrolysate from mackerel scad (Decapterus macarellus) attenuates skin photoaging by suppressing the UVB-induced expression of MMP-1 and IL-6

Published: November 2023

Abstract

Objectives
Excessive skin exposure to UVB radiation can induce photoaging caused by an imbalance in oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, damaging the skin’s structure and surface layer. A previous study revealed that collagen hydrolisate extracted from the skin of mackarel scads (Decapterus macarellus) had antiaging properties that were tested in vitro, which serves as a foundation for a subsequent study of its use in vivo. This study aimed at investigating the repair effect of the mackerel scad’s skin collagen hydrolysate (MSS-CH) in photoaging conditions in a mouse model.

Methods
MSS-CH was given orally in mice model of skin photoaging under chronic exposure to UVB irradiation for 12 weeks. Morphological and histological changes on the skin were evaluated using SEM and HE staining, along with the measurement of the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1) and cytokine pro-inflammatory interleukin 6 (IL-6) using ELISA.

Results
MSS-CH inhibits the occurrence of epidermal thickening and damage to the dermal layer of the skin. As a result, it restores the epidermis’ barrier function and reduces surface damage caused by photoaging. The skin of the MSS-CH treated group exhibited improved physical appearance with reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and enhanced smoothness. Additionally, administering MSS-CH to the mice groups reduced the expression of MMP-1 and IL-6 in UVB-exposed skin.

Conclusions
Altogether, this in vivo study demonstrates the photoaging-protective properties of CH-MSS, aligning with previous in vitro data. Thus, MSS-CH emerges as a strong candidate for use as an ingredient in nutraceuticals and biocosmetics.

Dei monasteri e di altre chiese
Authors: Massa Paola 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This paper stems from the research for my PhD thesis to identify, survey and classify the surviving documentary sources, published and unpublished, on Irpinia and the Sannio Beneventano: almost 1600 documents, both public and private, produced in the Lombard and Norman period. More specifically, this study investigates the conservation methods adopted within the archives of religious institutions whose existence and functioning depended on their titula and munimina. While the sources are very reluctant to provide information on the archival practices adopted in major churches and monasteries, the analysis of the diplomatic-archival notes affixed to the verso of the charters nevertheless provides some additional information. Adopting an approach combining palaeography, diplomatics and archive science thus allows us to paint a less generic picture than that hitherto known. The survey and examination of the verso annotations, usually given little attention in editions of the documents, proved highly significant for the identification of historic ecclesiastical archives, for the practices of archiving and preserving the papers, as well as for the identification of specific and recurrent methods of managing and conserving the documentary heritage of the old churches and monasteries, urban or rural, which represented significant gathering and reference places for the territory under their control. For some of these foundations, moreover, the study of unpublished documents has made it possible to add new evidence to what is already historically known.
„Rote“ Städtepartnerschaften als die besseren kommunistischen Beziehungen im geteilten Europa?
Authors: Palma Francesco Di 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This article uses the example of a trilateral network of relationships to offer a critical and much-needed contribution to the history of town twinning across the Iron Curtain through the late 1970s and 1980s. The chosen case studies are Italy and France on the one hand, the two countries with the most influential communist parties in Western Europe – the PCI (Partito Comunista Italiano) and the PCF (Parti Communiste Français) –, and the SED (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, Socialist Unity Party of Germany) on the other, the state party of the German Democratic Republic (GDR). Exploration of such transnational relationships is essential for a better understanding of the Cold War on a regional and local level, as ideological disputes arose regularly despite the supposedly neutral character of municipal ties. What characterized the networking between the French and Italian cities, mostly governed by the PCF and the PCI respectively, and the „real socialist“ Eastern German municipalities, and why or to what extent did they constitute an exception within relations among the three communist parties? The essay critically examines this issue and shows that the translocal scope of the connections potentially enabled the relevant actors to maintain and secure the transsocietal and sociocultural focus of exchange even amidst the most serious tensions of the late Cold War. Nevertheless, countering the assumption that such connections thrived almost automatically thanks to the allegedly shared ideological roots of the participants, it shows that communal ties were virtually always torn between utopian visions of the future and the interests of „Realpolitik“.
‚Rossini renaissance(s)‘ e discorsi identitari italiani
Authors: Vernazza Ruben 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Following thematic and theoretical lines set out in two recent ground-breaking studies by Emanuele Senici on Rossini’s music, this article questions Italian discourse on the Rossini renaissance. It thus highlights the identity-related meanings for Italians of three crucial moments in the history of this renaissance: in 1925, with the ‚cycle Rossini‘ at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris; in 1952, with the „Armida“ at the Maggio musicale fiorentino with Maria Callas in the title role; in 1969, with the Italian debut of the critical edition of the „Barber of Seville“ at the Scala in Milan.

Published: November 2023

Abstract
The year 2021 witnessed the commemoration of the seven hundredth anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s passing. Across the globe, particularly in Italy, a plethora of undertakings were orchestrated to honor this significant milestone. This paper undertakes an examination of the primary events that transpired in homage to Dante. In particular, in juxtaposition to prior centenaries, the authors center their analysis on initiatives that highlighted the rekindling of interest in Dante within Italy as the progenitor of the Italian language, his pivotal role in the establishment of an Italian collective identity, and the broader proliferation of his literary oeuvre. Concurrently, the authors delve into the dissemination and reception of the Dante anniversary on the international stage.

Published: November 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
When a patient is admitted for seizure-like activity, in addition to obtaining a thorough history and physical exam, the evaluation may include a neurology consultation, EEG, and brain MRI. The cost of an inpatient MRI is significant and only 2% of MRIs yield clinically significant findings. At our institution, there was a 20% increase in patients undergoing inpatient MRI from 2018 to 2020. Our aim: Decrease the percentage of patient encounters receiving inpatient brain MRIs for seizure evaluation from 50% to 40% in 6 months by safely shifting MRIs to the outpatient setting.

METHODS
Initially, provider variability in ordering practices of MRIs was analyzed. Stakeholders were gathered and a local guideline was developed to standardize MRI utilization. A process map was created and highlighted barriers to obtaining an outpatient MRI. A new standard process was developed that streamlined and automated processes, and reduced delays and reliance on patients’ families.

RESULTS
Since implementation of the new clinical guideline, the percentage of inpatient MRIs ordered for patient encounters presenting with seizures and seizure-like episodes decreased from a mean of 50% to 26%. Significant reductions occurred for patients with complex febrile seizures, provoked but afebrile seizures, and unprovoked seizures. The MRI guideline recommendations were followed in 93% of encounters in the final 12 months. None of the patients who underwent outpatient MRI required readmission for acute findings.

CONCLUSIONS
In this project, the percentage of inpatient MRIs was safely decreased with the implementation of a clinical guideline and standardized process.

AbstractAn ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of monocrotaline and usaramine in rat plasma, to study the plasma drug concentration and pharmacokinetics, and to calculate the absolute bioavailability. The plasma was treated with acetonitrile and methanol (9:1, v/v) protein precipitation method. The chromatographic column was UPLC HSS T3 (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm), the mobile phase was methanol-water (containing 0.1% formic acid with 10 mM ammonium acetate in water), and the elution time was 4 min at a flow rate of 0.4 mL min−1. Electrospray ionization (ESI) positive ion mode was used for detection and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used for quantitative analysis. Monocrotaline and usaramine were administered sublingual intravenously (iv) 1 mg kg−1 and orally (po) 5 mg kg−1, respectively, with 6 rats in each group, for a total of 24 rats. Then the pharmacokinetic differences in rats were evaluated. For the UPLC-MS/MS method, the calibration curve showed good linearity in the range of 2–2,000 ng mL−1, where r was greater than 0.99. The precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect and stability results were all consistent with the requirements of biological sample detection methods. to provide scientific experimental basis for the basic research The bioavailability of monocrotaline and usaramine in rat plasma was calculated, which was 43.5 and 19.5%, respectively.
Early Source Characterization of Large Earthquakes Using W Phase and Prompt Elastogravity Signals
Authors: Juhel Kévin , Duputel Zacharie , Rivera Luis , Vallée Martin 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the minutes following a large earthquake, robust characterization of the seismic rupture can be obtained from full wavefield records at local distances or from early signals recorded by regional broadband seismometers. We focus here on the latter configuration, and evaluate the individual and joint performances of the early low-frequency elastic phases (W phase) and the recently discovered prompt elastogravity signals (PEGS). The 2011 Mw 9.1 Tohoku–Oki earthquake is a natural target for this evaluation, because the high quality of global and regional networks enabled to gather the best PEGS data set so far. We first confirm that the well-established W-phase method, using records from global seismological networks, is able to provide a reliable centroid moment tensor solution 22 min after the earthquake origin time. Using regional stations, an accurate W-phase solution can be obtained more rapidly, down to 10 min after origin time. On the other hand, a PEGS-based source inversion can provide even earlier, starting 3 min after origin time, a lower bound of the seismic moment (Mw 8.6) and constraints on the focal mechanism type. However, relying solely on PEGS introduces uncertainties caused by the hindering seismic noise and trade-offs between source parameters that limit the accuracy of source determination. We show that incorporating even a few early W phase signals to the PEGS data set reduces these uncertainties. Using more complete W phase and PEGS data sets available 5 min after origin time enables to converge towards a result close to the Global Centroid Moment Tensor solution.

Introduction: in the world orthopaedic practice, attention is increasingly paid to surgical interventions that improve the patient’s quality of life. One of these interventions is joint arthroplasty. The most common reason for this operation is osteoarthritis. It is known that coxarthrosis and gonarthrosis have a a high incidence in the world and there is a dynamic increase in the amount data pathologies. However, behind all the advantages of joint arthroplasty here is most formidable complication – periprosthetic infection, which can be fatal for the patient. According to opinion of domestic and foreign experts, for a successful treatment of patients with this complication, intervention is needed by specialists of a narrow profile in combination with a multidisciplinary approach, however patient routing an unresolved problem to this day.The purpose of the work: to propose a model for routing patients with periprosthetic joint infection in Moscow.Results. As a result of the work carried out it was found that the main problem of routing patients with periprosthetic joint infection in Moscow is the stage and timing of the disease. Often the patient with lat periprosthetin infection is hospitalized in a hospital in a city that has a department of purulent surgery, but the specialists of the department have not the necessary equipment and skills to provide effective and qualified care as a result of which patient wastes time that could be spent more rationally.Conclusion. For more efficient routing of patients with periprosthetic joint infection in Moscow it is necessary to create specialized centres for the treatment of advanced perprosthetic infection. In cases of early periprosthetic infection the patient can undergo sanitizing surgical mixing in the conditions of the department of purulent surgery of any hospital in Moscow.
