Published: January 2022

Abstract
The Central Appalachian Spruce Restoration Initiative was formed to promote restoration of red spruce Picea rubens forests in Central Appalachia. One goal of the initiative is to increase availability and enhance quality of habitat for wildlife, including the threatened Cheat Mountain salamander Plethodon nettingi. The purpose of this research was to compare microhabitat characteristics between an occupied Cheat Mountain salamander site and early-stage spruce restoration sites, and between four occupied sites and proximal nondetection sites. We found that soil pH was higher and soil moisture was lower at spruce restoration sites compared with the occupied site, and that light intensity, subcanopy air temperature, and ground-level air temperature were higher in spruce restoration sites with reduced canopy cover. We found that soil moisture was higher at occupied sites compared with proximal nondetection sites, but soil pH was not significantly different. Our study suggests that Cheat Mountain salamanders are associated with low soil pH and high soil moisture, and thus spruce restoration could enhance habitat quality for this species in the long-term.

BACKGROUND:
The long-term effects of respiratory function and related physiological characteristics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) survivors have not yet been studied in depth.

OBJECTIVE:
To examine pulmonary function, exercise capacity, and health-related quality of life among COVID-19 survivors.

METHODS:
Eighty-five survivors with confirmed COVID-19 were evaluated at the end of 3 and 6 months after disease onset. The assessment included lung function, diffusing capacity, 6-min walk distance (6MWD), and health status by the 36-item Short-Form General Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire.

RESULTS:
Totally 85 survivors, 48 (56.5%) were men. The mean (standard deviation) age was 34.6 (9.9) years. Thirteen patients (15.2%) had medical co-morbidities the mean length of hospitalization was 18.5 (5.6) days. 25 (29.4%) required intensive care unit admission, whereas 6 (7%) of them required invasive mechanical ventilation. No significant differences were observed between lung volume parameters. At 6 months, there was a significant reduction in diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), P = 0.02*. 25 (29.4%) of patients had impaired DLCO ≤80% predicted. Regarding 6MWD, a significant increase was noted in 6MWD from 486 ± 72 m at 3 months to 526 ± 82 m at 6 months (P = 0.001*). The 6MWD was lower than that for normal controls of the same age groups. There was significant impairment of health status assessed by SF-36 questionnaire among COVID-19 survivors at 6 months as compared with controls of the same age groups. There were significant positive correlations between lung function parameters (FVC, VC, FEV1, and DlCO) with several SF-36 domains.

CONCLUSION:
In discharged survivors with COVID-19, 23.5% had significant impairment of diffusion capacity abnormality of lung function. The exercise capacity and health status were considerably lower than that of a normal population after 6 months postinfection.

Published: January 2022

Objective:
The objective of this study was to assess the incidence of complications intra- and postoperative (until the 30th day) of phacoemulsification surgery performed by residents of the third year, and its implications on final refraction and best-corrected visual acuity (VA), compared to those who did not exhibit any complication.

Methods:
This was a retrospective analysis of 300 medical records of patients who had their surgeries performed from January 2019 to February 2020 by the same three third-year residents. Fifty medical records were excluded. Initial VA logarithm of the minimum resolution angle and final VA with the best correction were analyzed, comparing whether there was a correlation with the presence of complications.

Results:
Of the 250 medical records analyzed, 29 (11.6%) presented complications during the intraoperative period, been posterior capsule rupture the mean one. The mean VA of patients without complications was 0.13 ± 0.17 (0.00–1.00) compared to 0.29 ± 0.28 (0.00–1.00) for those who had complications. The spherical equivalent of those without complications was −0.87 ± 0.98 (−4.38–2.00) compared to −1.19 ± 1.14 (−3.75–0.50) of the that had.

Conclusion:
As shown in this study, the percentage of complications is compatible with those found in the literature, also exhibits that surgeries with complications do imply in worst VA. However, when compared among themselves, before and after surgery, there was a significant improvement in the VA even in patients with complications.

Published: January 2022

Solid waste disposal is a major challenge in many industrialized and developing nations, both in metropolitan regions as well as rural ones. The collection and disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a serious issue facing metropolitan areas in many nations today. An effective MSW management strategy must satisfy all of these criteria: financial viability; technical feasibility; social and legal acceptability; and ecological friendliness. Small and large cities alike have a major difficulty in dealing with solid waste management.
One of the current study topics is the valuation of food organic waste. Existing waste disposal methods include the typical landfill, incineration, composting, and other methods of handling solid waste. Composting and anaerobic digestion have traditionally been the most widely employed methods for the treatment and exploitation of the organic part of MSW (AD). The amount of organic solid waste (OSW) being generated globally is rising at an astronomical rate. Agricultural waste, domestic food waste, human and animal wastes, etc. comprise the majority of OSW. They're often used as animal feed, disposed of in landfills, or burnt. OAWs are made up of protein-, mineral-, and sugar-rich components that may be employed as substrates or raw materials in other processes.

IntroductionThe impact of bovine mastitis on animal husbandry is great huge. It is anincurable an incurable disease mainly characterized by milk and pathological changes in milk and the mammary gland, which causescause reduced yield and quality of milk, but. Unfortunately, the use of antibiotics to combat mastitis affects the production of milk, so it is urgent to find additional therapeutic molecules for mastitis treatment.Material and methodsIn this study, we analyzed the protection provided by hyperoside (HYP) in a model of mastitis in vivo and explored its functional mechanism in mouse mammary epithelial cells (mMECs) by overexpression of NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3).ResultsOur results showed that HYP at 12.5, 25 and 50 mg/kg prevented the inflammatory response induced in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated micemouse mammary glands as well as inflammatory cytokine production, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β and IL-8. The protection provided by HYP was also correlated with the reduction of NLRP3 signaling pathway protein levels in vivo. However, overexpression of NLRP3 reversed the effects of HYP on the NLRP3 inflammasome, cell viability and inflammatory factor levels in LPS-stimulated mMECs.ConclusionsIn summary, this study showed that HYP inhibited LPS-stimulated symptoms of breast inflammation by regulating expression of inflammatory cytokines and inhibiting the NLRP3 signaling pathway.

IntroductionTo compare the haemostatic efficacy (i.e. efficacy to prevent access site complications) of the InnoSEAL haemostatic pad and Clo-Sur PLUS P.A.D. after femoral arterial puncture for transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Material and methodsThis randomized controlled trial compared the safety and efficacy of an InnoSEAL haemostatic pad (n = 48) and a Clo-Sur PLUS P.A.D. (n = 52) for haemostasis of arterial puncture sites after TACE with femoral arterial access using a 5-Fr sheath. Primary endpoints were incidence of major (necessitating surgery) and moderate access site complications (ASC) (necessitating blood transfusion/thrombin injection). Secondary endpoints were incidence of minor ASC (no therapy required) and time to haemostasis.ResultsNo major or moderate ASC was seen with either device. Minor ASC (6.3% [3/48] vs. 19.2% [10/52], p = 0.075) and ecchymosis (classified as minor ASC; 4.2% [2/48] vs. 17.3% [9/52]; p = 0.053, p-value cut-off after Bonferroni correction = 0.025) were less frequently observed with the InnoSEAL haemostatic pad. The time to haemostasis did not differ significantly between the 2 devices (5.6 ± 1.0 vs. 5.3 ± 0.7 minutes; p = 0.118). Multivari­able logistic regression analysis showed a lower risk of ASC with the InnoSEAL pad (adjusted OR, 0.174; 95% CI: 0.034-0.890; p = 0.036).ConclusionsNo major ASC was seen with either pad, and no significant difference of minor ASC was observed between 2 pads.

Published: January 2022

PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the visibility of peri-implant fenestration and dehiscences on computed tomo­graphy (CT) images taken with 2 different doses.Material and methodsThe defects were created on the apical of 6 implants randomly selected from 20 titanium implants placed in the ribs, and dehiscences were created on the cervical of 8 implants. No defects were created around 6 implants. Macroscopic analysis of the implanted ribs was accepted as the gold standard. From the samples, images were taken by using both ultra-low dose (80 kVp, 50 mA, 1.25 mm slice thickness) and low dose (100 kVp, 50 mA, 1.25 mm slice thickness) protocols in CT. The images obtained were evaluated using a 5-point scale.ResultsNo significant difference was found between the area under the receiver operating characteristic of ultra-low dose protocol and low dose protocol in both defects based on the Wilcoxon test (p > 0.05).ConclusionsThe ultra-low dose protocol could be applied by adhering to the “as low as reasonably achievable” principle in the diagnosis of peri-implant defects.

On the energy budget of a low-Arctic snowpack

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Arctic landscapes are covered in snow for at least 6 months of the year. The energy balance of the snow cover plays a key role in these environments, influencing the surface albedo, the thermal regime of the permafrost, and other factors. Our goal is to quantify all major heat fluxes above, within, and below a low-Arctic snowpack at a shrub tundra site on the east coast of Hudson Bay in eastern Canada. The study is based on observations from a flux tower that uses the eddy covariance approach and from profiles of temperature and thermal conductivity in the snow and soil. Additionally, we compared the observations with simulations produced using the Crocus snow model. We found that radiative losses due to negative longwave radiation are mostly counterbalanced by the sensible heat flux, whereas the latent heat flux is minimal. At the snow surface, the heat flux into the snow is similar in magnitude to the sensible heat flux. Because the snow cover stores very little heat, the majority of the upward heat flux in the snow is used to cool the soil. Overall, the model was able to reproduce the observed energy balance, but due to the effects of atmospheric stratification, it showed some deficiencies when simulating turbulent heat fluxes at an hourly timescale.
