Published: July 2022

The varved sediments of the Pyrenean Lake Montcortès (Pallars Sobirà, Lleida) embody a unique continuous high-resolution (annual) paleoarchive of the last 3000 years for the circum-Mediterranean region. A variety of paleoclimatic and paleoecological records have been retrieved from these uncommon sediments that have turned the lake into a regional reference. Present-day geographical, geological, ecological and limnological features of the lake and its surroundings are reasonably well known but the lack of a local weather station has prevented characterization of current climate, which is important to develop modern-analog studies for paleoclimatic reconstruction and to forecast the potential impacts of future global warming. Here, the local climate of the Montcortès area for the period 1955-2020 is characterized using a network of nearby stations situated along an elevational transect in the same river basin of the lake. The finding of statistically significant elevational gradients for average temperature and precipitation (-0.59 °C and 82 mm per 100 m elevation, respectively) has enabled to estimate these parameters and their seasonal regime for the lake site. The estimated average annual temperature is 9.7±0.8 °C and the estimated total annual precipitation is 1031±34 mm, in average. A representative climograph has been shaped with these data that can serve as a synthetic descriptive and comparative climatic tool. The same analysis has provided climatic data for modern-analog studies useful to improve the interpretation of sedimentary records in climatic and ecological terms. In addition, the seasonal slope shifting of the climatic elevational gradients has been useful to gain insights about possible future climatic trends under a warming scenario

Published: July 2022

Although, bacteria have been considered as most common cause of healthcare associated infections (HCAI), however recent years have witnessed increased isolation of fungal pathogens. species, Mucorales, spp., spp. and spp. are predominant fungal pathogens isolated from cases of HCAI. As compared to bacterial nosocomial infections, fungal infections are generally difficult to diagnose and treat. Nosocomial mycoses are associated with high mortality and morbidity. The present study was conducted in the tertiary care academic hospital with an aim to identify filamentous fungal pathogen isolated from HCAI and study its antifungal susceptibility profile. Filamentous fungi isolated from cases of HCAI from intensive care unit (MICU) were included. They were identified by standard mycological techniques and antifungal susceptibility profile was studied. Out of 50 fungal pathogens, spp. were isolated from 21 (42%) cases, whereas 29 (58%) isolates were filamentous fungi. spp. (51.7%) were predominant among filamentous fungal pathogen. (27.6%) was the predominant isolate. Use of broad-spectrum antibiotics followed by neutropenia and presence of indwelling medical devices were common risk factors associated with HCAI due to filamentous fungi. Amphotericin B resistance was observed in 6.9% of isolates whereas 33.3% were resistant to fluconazole. Invasive fungal infection (IFI) though less common is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients admitted to ICU. Neutropenia and use of broad spectrum antibiotics are important risk factors for IFI. is the most common filamentous fungus cause of IFI. More emphasis should be given on rapid diagnosis, prompt treatment and strict compliance with infection prevention and control practices.

Published: July 2022

Introduction. Clinical and laboratory criteria of the 2nd Consensus on Sepsis do not consider manifestations of the organ dysfunction and compensatory anti-inflammatory response in septic complications.
The aim of study was to develop laboratory parameters that reflect presence of sepsis at different stages of its course based on a detailed complete blood count; take into account the degree of pro-inflammatory response to infection, an anti-inflammatory component, presence of a particular sign of the multiple organ failure.
Materials and methods. This was a statistical study involving 152 patients with clinical and laboratory manifestations of surgical sepsis who underwent inpatient treatment at the surgical department of the NWSMU clinical hospital. In patients with signs of edogenic intoxication, whose diagnosis sepsis was not confirmed, septicopyemia was verified on autopsy in every 4 cases. The patterns of the score assessment of the sepsis process were determined in accordance with the complete blood count parameters.
Results. The degree of correlation between the level of procalcitonin and the scores" was noted at the level of 0.5019309, the degree of correlation between the level of blood lactate and the scores did not exceed 0.542726115.
Conclusions. If the total score is more than 7, the diagnosis of severe sepsis is highly probable. If the total score is less than 4 - presence of severe sepsis including the development of septicopiemia is improbable. If the total score is at the level of 5 -6 combined with long-term disease, the search for distant foci of septicopiemia and assessment of the prognosis of secondary sepsis is a priority.
In our opinion, the score assessment of simple laboratory parameters (detailed complete blood count), reflects, though indirectly, presence and stages of septic complications. The use of the score assessment in practical health care can improve screening of patients with surgical infection complicated by the sepsis development at all stages of medical care.

Published: July 2022

A utilização da amantadina na prática clínica ainda parece pouco difundida, apesar da evidência crescente na emergência de alterações do estado de consciência após traumatismo cranioencefálico. Descrevemos o caso de um adolescente com traumatismo cranioencefálico grave por atropelamento. Após quatro meses de internamento num hospital central onde se manteve em estado vegetativo foi transferido para um centro de reabilitação. Iniciou um programa de reabilitação integral liderado por equipa médica, incluindo estimulação multissensorial e intervenção no meio envolvente. Iniciou amantadina, 50 mg/dia, titulada até 200 mg/dia, verificando-se melhoria clínica e funcional significativas, com emergência para estado de consciência mínima à terceira semana e recuperação da consciência à sexta semana de amantadina. Manteve melhoria progressiva mesmo após suspensão do fármaco. O caso descrito salienta a importância da intervenção holística e corrobora a literatura ao demonstrar a eficácia e segurança da amantadina na emergência do estado vegetativo.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Since the advent of the Covid 19 infectious disease, a variety of studies have been conducted around the world in order to accurately forecast its outcome. Covid 19 is linked to the previous lung disease pneumonia, since many individuals died from severe chest congestion (pneumonic condition). The objective of this study is to use computerized x ray images to identify bacterial pneumonia, covid 19 viral pneumonia, other viral pneumonia, lung opacity and normal instinctively. It continues with a lengthy report on developments made in the accurate identification of pneumonia, followed by the authors' technique. For transfer learning, thirteen different deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) were used: AlexNet, ResNet18, ResNet50, ResNet101, VGG16, VGG19, MobileNetV2, GoogLeNet, DenseNet201, NasNetMobile, NasNetLarge, DarkNet and Inception-ResNet V2. Our data set consisting of 6530 images which are divided into five categories such as bacterial pneumonia, covid 19 viral pneumonia, other viral pneumonia, lung opacity and normal or healthy person’s x ray images, then the pre-processed images were trained for the transfer learning based classification task. Contrasting to other deep learning classification techniques with a large image data base, obtaining a large amount of pneumonia dataset for this classification task is difficult. As a result, we used several data augmentation techniques to enhance the CNN model's validation and classification accuracy as 99.50% and 98.20% respectively, and we produced significant validation accuracy. This DarkCVNet (DarkCovidNetwork) approach could be able to help with the trustworthiness and interpretability issues that come up frequently when dealing with medical images.

Abstract
Introduction: Linezolid is an oxazolidinone antibiotic with a reversible, non-selective monoamine oxidase inhibitory effect. Combining linezolid with serotonergic agents may increase serotonin syndrome (SS) risk. Secondary to its high tissue penetration, linezolid is recommended in patients with suspected or confirmed resistant gram-positive bacterial infections, as pneumonia, and skin-soft tissue infections, especially if vancomycin cannot be used. However, it is unclear whether co-administration of linezolid with opioids increases the risk of serotonin syndrome. Research objective: Whether combing linezolid with opioids will increase the incidence of SS in acutely ill patients. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study. All adult patients admitted to Hamad Medical Corporation facilities in Qatar and received linezolid between March 2020 and September 2020 were included in the study. The primary outcome was the prevalence of SS defined by Hunter’s criteria. SS was confirmed if the patient had spontaneous clonus; inducible clonus plus agitation or diaphoresis; ocular clonus plus agitation or diaphoresis; tremor plus hyperreflexia; or hypertonia plus fever plus ocular clonus or inducible clonus. Results: We included 106 patients, most of the patients were males (91.5%). More than half of the cohort (56.6%) received a concomitant opioid agent. Morphine and fentanyl were the most prescribed opioids (37.7% and 34%, respectively). Among patients who received opioids, only one patient (1.6%) had spontaneous clonus. However, this patient developed spontaneous clonus post cardiac arrest, which made the association with the linezolid-opioids combination doubtful. Conclusion: In this study, the incidence of SS was low in acutely ill patients who received concomitant linezolid and opioids. However, larger prospective studies are required to confirm this finding.

Abstract
Phytoremediation is considered to be the most environmentally friendly green restoration technology for dealing with mine waste. Adding amendments can improve the substrate environment for plant growth and enhance remediation efficiency. Herbaceous plants have become the preferred species for vegetation restoration in abandoned mines because of their fast greening and simple management. Considering that, in this paper, to explore the effect of composite amendments on physicochemical properties of copper tailings repaired by herbaceous plants, the untreated copper tailings were employed as the control group, whereas copper tailings repaired by ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), vetiver grass (Vetiveria zizanioides L.) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb) with or without conditioners and straw combination into the compound amendments, were taken separately as the test group. After 6 months of planting, the pH, electrical conductivity, water content, available potassium, organic matter, total nitrogen and available phosphorus in the main physical and chemical properties of copper tailings in each experimental area were analyzed. The results showed that the electrical conductivity, organic matter and total nitrogen content of copper tailings were improved to a certain extent by planting herbs without treatment. Meanwhile, compared with the control group, all indexes of planting herbs showed an upward trend after adding composite amendments. Among them, pH, water content and available potassium content of copper tailings were enhanced more obviously. Furthermore, as discovered from the grey correlation analysis results, vetiver grass planted with composite amendments has the best comprehensive effect of improving the physicochemical properties of copper tailings, followed by tall fescue and ryegrass.

Abstract
Objective: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) brain injury is mediated through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on the intestinal epithelium and on brain microglia. We sought to determine whether postnatal and/or prenatal NAC can modify NEC associated intestinal and brain TLR4 expression and brain glutathione levels in a rat model of NEC.Study Design: Newborn Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized into 3 groups: Control (n=33); NEC (n=32) subjected to hypoxia and formula feeding; NEC-NAC (n=34) received NAC (300mg/kg IP) in addition to NEC conditions. Two additional groups included pups of dams who were treated once daily with NAC (300mg/kg IV) for the last 3 days of pregnancy: NAC-NEC (n=33) or NAC-NEC-NAC (n=36) with additional postnatal NAC. Pups were sacrificed on the fifth day, ileum and brains harvested for TLR-4 and glutathione protein levels. Results: NEC offspring had significantly increased brain and ileum TLR-4 protein levels compared to control (brain 2.5+0.6 vs 0.88+0.12 U; ileum 0.24+0.04 vs 0.09+0.01 U, p<0.05). NAC administered only to dams (NAC-NEC) significantly decreased NEC offspring brain (1.53+0.41 vs 2.5+0.6 U; p<0.05) and ileum (0.12+0.03 vs 0.24+0.04 U; p<0.05) TLR-4 protein levels compared to NEC. The same pattern was demonstrated when NAC was administered only or also postnatally. The decrease in offspring brain glutathione levels observed under NEC condition was reversed with all NAC treatment groups.Conclusion: NAC could reverse the increase in ileum and brain TLR-4 levels and the decrease in brain glutathione levels associated with NEC in a rat model, and thus may protect from NEC associated brain injury.
