Published: June 2022

Abstract
Gross Primary Productivity (GPP) is the core component of the terrestrial and global carbon cycle and Earth’s climate research. In this study, GPP estimation was performed with the Boreal Ecosystem Productivity Simulator (BEPS) model to check its performance for hemi-boreal forests on the example of the Soontaga area in Estonia. The model was run by using a combination of remote sensing (leaf area index (LAI), clumping index) and meteorological data inputs (air temperature, global radiation, air humidity, precipitation and wind speed). The results were validated against GPP derived from the available flux tower measurements. The spatial representativeness of the site was evaluated using multiple spatial thresholds (500 m–2 km), as well. We found that the BEPS model can track the GPP changes with the season and inter-annual variation very well in a coniferous hemi-boreal forest, given that good quality input data are provided.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
We investigated the distribution of extractive, phenolic, and polysaccharides content of young S. mahagoni trees aged 1 to 5 years. The wood powder materials in two vertical positions (bottom and top) were successively extracted using n-hexane, methanol, and hot water solutions. The results showed that there was a significant interaction between the tree age and axial position in all parameters. The methanol and total extractive content decreased significantly from 1 to 3-year-old at the top part. In contrast, the amount of hot water and total extractive increased significantly from 3 to 4-year-old trees at the bottom part. Furthermore, a significant increase was also found at the bottom heartwood for hexane, methanol, and the total extractive from 4 to 5-year-old trees. The reverse trend was observed in the polar fractions (methanol and hot water) at the top of the trees. Generally, the extractive pattern tends to decrease from bottom to top with the highest proportion of methanol extract (70% based on the total extractive weight), and it increased from sapwood to heartwood. The total phenolic content (TPC) and total soluble polysaccharides (TSP) generally increase with tree age (except for TSP from 2 to 3-year-old trees at the top part). The high content of TPC in the heartwood and TSP in the sapwood indicated the process of heartwood formation. In addition, a drastic decrease in the methanol extract and TSP at the age of 3 years at the top indicated that the TSP was transferred from top to bottom for the heartwood formation at the bottom part of 4-year-old trees.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Estimations of forests’ carbon sequestration capacity relies on proper assessment of the eddy covariance measurement mast’s footprint. Harsh winter temperatures in Estonia lead to ice formation on 3D sonic anemometer sensor heads and thus induce measurement gaps in the data. To maximise data availability, we use a smart heating algorithm to minimise ice formation on the anemometer sensor heads. Here, we studied the temperature distribution of ice formation on the measurement instruments. Three major temperature ranges were found, between 0°C and −3°C, which is the most abundant temperature range for ice formation, and two temperature regions with peaks around −10°C and −20°C. Our algorithm to prevent ice formation led to very short median heating intervals of about 25 to 30 seconds.
Effect of interaction between Fusarium solani and Rhizoctonia solani on damping-off and root rot disease of Tetraclinis articulata seedlings
Authors: El Haddadi Rachid , Errifi Azeddine , Msairi Soukaina , Touhami Amina Ouazzani , Douira Allal 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
In the greenhouse, mixed inoculation of Tetraclinis articulata (Vahl) Mast.) with Rhizoctonia solani Kühn and Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc. caused remarkable damping-off and root rot compared to simple inoculation with one of the two pathogens. Root and stem infections caused significant reduction in plant growth. Root system total length was reduced by 36 to 43% and shoot height losses by 28 to 39%. Plants inoculated by one pathogen were shorter than control plants or inoculated plants by both pathogens. Disease severity ratings for plants infested with the pathogens mixture also were greater than with either pathogen alone up to 62 days post-inoculation. R. solani and F. solani interact synergistically, causing severe damping-off and root rot in T. articulata seedlings.
Effect of growth conditions on wood properties of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)
Authors: Kask Regino , Pikk Jaak , Kangur Ahto 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The study material of Scots pine sample trees originated from five different forest site types (Cladonia, Calluna, Myrtillus, natural raised bog and drained raised bog) in Estonia. Altogether, 60 trees were sampled from 10 stands. From these, test disks and sample blocks (1.2 m in length) were cut at 1.3 m height, 1/2 of tree height and 3/4 of tree height. We analysed the effect of forest site type on the growth of tree ring width, proportion of late- and heartwood, oven-dry density, bending and compression strength and wood hardness. Wood properties in stands of the same age showed great variability. Significant differences were found in the wood properties between site types. Wood density and strength characteristics were higher in samples from heath site types than from the sites more optimal for pine (e.g., Myrtillus). The quality of the wood from peatland stands was lower than from trees grown on mineral soil. The decreasing trend in strength properties towards the top of trees was steeper in the wood formed under poor nutrient conditions. Latewood proportion increased with tree age. However, in the case of equal latewood percentages, heartwood density was higher than sapwood density.

Abstract
Our work is part of the ex situ conservation of the Atlas cedar (Cedrus atlantica (Manetti ex Endl.) Carrière), a threatened and endemic Pinaceae of the Maghreb. Our objectives are to evaluate the viability of seeds from three Algerian cedar groves ecotypes (Thienet El Had, Chelia, Chrea) by the 2,3,5 triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TZ) test and to elucidate the effect of continuous temperatures (15°C, 20°C, 25°C) on their germinative capacity. Moreover, the effects of some physicochemical pretreatments in breaking dormancy and improving germinability were estimated on the seeds of the cedar grove of Thienet El Had. In addition, in the same ecotype, the water stress, as simulated by using the PEG6000 (0 to −2.20 bar), was induced upon seed germination. Results of the TZ test showed variability in seeds’ viability among the three ecotypes with rates of 60, 85 and 90% in those of Chelia, Chrea and Thienet El Had, respectively. However, germination tests revealed the existence of partial dormancy in all tested seeds. Dramatic differences in the degree of dormancy were noted among the three provenances investigated. Untreated seeds of the three ecotypes exhibited maximum germination at 20°C: Thienet El Had (52%), Chelia (32%) and Chrea (7%). The final germination percentage was as high as 76% in seeds soaked in hot water (80°C) for 5 min followed by 56% in seeds treated with GA3 (150 ppm). The increase in water stress regularly decreases germination with a tolerance threshold corresponding to −2.2 bar.

La Architectural Promenade de Le Corbusier: hacia una nueva percepción de la arquitectura
Authors: Alemán Alonso Edgar Manuel , Winfield Reyes Fernando N. , Martí Capitanachi Daniel R. 
Published: June 2022

Este artículo pretende abordar algunos aspectos de la percepción en la arquitectura a partir de la architectural promenade que Le Corbusier y su primo Pierre Jeanneret realizaran en el primer proyecto la villa Meyer (París, 1925). Desde aquí, se intenta explorar como dispositivo visual sobre el recorrido espacial de la obra y desde la función narrativa que encierra el discurso contenido en la Carta Meyer que la dupla lecorbusiana expresó de manera gráfica y textual con la finalidad de convencer a su cliente, la Sra. Meyer y su madre, Madame Hirtz. En este sentido, la Carta Meyer expone mediante la articulación de diversas intenciones, la identidad del espacio que repercute en la construcción imaginaria de la experiencia del estar ahí, a través de la estructuración de secuencias espaciales que interactúan en relación con nuestro conocimiento previo respecto a la concepción fenomenológica del lugar, condensadora del “espíritu del tiempo” y de las variaciones del pensamiento reflejadas en la obra arquitectónica.

Authors: Babhulkar Ashish S. , Agrawal Aditya K. , Ramaswamy Arun G. , Patil Prateek C. , Vimalkumar K. H. 
Published: June 2022

Objectives:
We hypothesized that arthroscopic rotator cuff repair improves functional and clinical outcomes in the patients with comorbid disability in the extremities.

Materials and Methods:
In a retrospective study, data were collected for eleven patients (six males and five females) from a tertiary care hospital from 2010 to 2018. All the patients underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair after confirmed clinical and radiological diagnosis. All the patients were operated on by a single surgeon. UCLS scores and ultrasound imaging were used for pre-operative and post-operative clinical and radiological evaluation, respectively. The mean follow-up was of 3 years. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software and statistical significance was considered at P < 0.05.

Results:
Out of 11 patients, seven patients had massive cuff tears, two patients had medium cuff tears, and two patients had small cuff tears. Out of 11 patients, three patients were contralateral side amputees, four patients were wheelchair-bound due to post-poliomyelitis muscle weakness, one patient had opposite side hand amputation, and three patients had same side hemiplegia secondary to cerebrovascular stroke. The dominant side was involved in eight patients and the non-dominant side was involved in three patients. Functional range of motion, the visual analog scale for pain, and satisfaction and UCLS scores improved significantly after arthroscopic cuff repairs. Ultrasound evaluation after a mean of 14 ± 3 months revealed complete healing in 88% of cases and partial healing in 12% of cases.

Conclusion:
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair improves functional and clinical outcomes in patients with comorbid disability in the extremities. Careful and meticulous clinical acumen, surgical planning, technique, and post-operative rehabilitation program are important for excellent outcomes in arthroscopic cuff repairs, especially in these functionally high-demanding patients.
Noniatrogenic spinal cord ischemia: A patient level meta-analysis of 125 case reports and series
Authors: Naik Anant , Houser Samantha L. , Moawad Christina M. , Iyer Ravishankar K. , Arnold Paul M. 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Guidelines are needed to manage spinal cord infarctions. Here, we evaluated the incidence of noniatrogenic spinal ischemia, focusing on the spinal levels involved, and the relative efficacy of different management strategies.

Methods:
We performed a meta-analysis of 147 patients who sustained noniatrogenic spinal cord ischemia within the past 10 years. The most common causes of injury were idiopathic (i.e., 47% medical/surgery-related) followed by systemic/chronic conditions (23.6%) and aortic vascular pathology (20%). Postdiagnostic treatment options included rehabilitation in 53.7% of patients, while steroids (35.37%), antiplatelets aggregates (30.61%), and anticoagulation (18.37%) were also used.

Results:
Traumatic causes of spinal cord ischemia were associated with worse outcomes, while those without a clear diagnosis despite extensive work-up had better results. At discharge, patients managed with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage had significant improvement (P = 0.04), while other therapies were not effective. Notably, ischemia mostly occurring between the T4 and T7 levels and was associated with the worst outcomes. In this thoracic “watershed” region, thoracic cord ischemia was most likely attributed to an increased susceptibility toto cord under-perfusion in this region (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
This meta-analysis revealed a variety of etiologies for noniatrogenic typically T4-T7 spinal cord ischemia. Several different treatment strategies may be utilized in this patient population, including CSF drainage, blood pressure elevation, corticosteroids, antiplatelets/anticoagulants/thrombolytics, mannitol, naloxone, surgical revascularization, hyperbaric oxygen, and systemic hypothermia.

Authors: Thakur Kamlesh , Kaur Haneet , Dhandapani Manju , Xavier Teenu , Srinivasan Ganesan , Gopichandran Laskmanan , Dhandapani Sivashanmugam 
Published: June 2022

Background:Intracranial hypertension is found in patients with various neurological and neurosurgical conditions such as subarachnoid hemorrhage (more than 50% of the patients have intracranial pressure > 20 mmHg at some point during their hospital stay), traumatic brain injury, and stroke. Various modalities are used to control intracranial hypertension, therapeutic hypothermia is one of them. This systematic review aims to assess the efficacy of therapeutic hypothermia in controlling intracranial hypertension in an adult patient.Methods:A systematic review of the literature published between one patient 1990 and 2020 was conducted. Four databases were searched including CINAHL, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE using keywords traumatic brain injury, intracranial pressure, randomized and controlled trials, and the effect of therapeutic hypothermia on intracranial hypertension.Results:All of the studies included in this review were randomized controlled trials. Most of the studies provided their sample demographics. Sample sizes ranged from 14 to 501. Of the 12 studies, five of them were from the United Kingdom, three of them were from China, two from North America, one from India, and one from Japan.Conclusion:Treating intracranial hypertension with therapeutic hypothermia may be beneficial according to a few studies but it is also associated with many adverse effects. Both the groups suffered from adverse events which were higher in the hypothermic group. However, these adverse events can be managed in any health-care setting. To treat the patients with therapeutic hypothermia, one (the managing team) should be competent enough to manage the adverse effects.
Characteristics of cranial vault lymphoma from a systematic review of the literature
Authors: Nitta Naoki , Moritani Suzuko , Fukami Tadateru , Nozaki Kazuhiko 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Cranial vault lymphomas are rare and their clinical features are often similar to those of cranial vault meningiomas. The objective of this review was to identify the features helpful for differentiating lymphomas of the cranial vault, from meningiomas which were the most common diagnosis before the definitive pathological diagnosis.

Methods:
The inclusion criterion was a histologically proven malignant lymphoma initially appearing in the calvarium. We conducted a literature search of the electronic PubMed and Ichushi-Web databases up to June 1, 2020. Cranial vault lymphoma that was diagnosed after an original diagnosis of lymphoma in a nodal or soft-tissue site was excluded from the study. Descriptive analyses were used to present the patient characteristics.

Results:
A total of 111 patients were found in 98 eligible articles. Almost all studies were case reports. The most common symptom was a growing subcutaneous scalp mass (84%) present for a mean duration of 5.9 months before the patient presented for treatment in analyzable cases; this fast growth may distinguish lymphomas from meningiomas. The tumor vascularization was often inconspicuous or poor, unlike well-vascularized meningiomas. A disproportionately small amount of skull destruction compared with the soft-tissue mass was observed in two-thirds of the analyzable cases.

Conclusion:
This qualitative systematic review identified several features of cranial vault lymphomas that may be useful in differentiating them from meningiomas, including a rapidly growing subcutaneous scalp mass, poor vascularization, and limited skull destruction relative to the size of the soft-tissue mass.
Ultra-high field 7 T MRI localizes regional brain volume recovery following corticotroph adenoma resection and hormonal remission in Cushing’s disease: A case series
Authors: Lee Jonathan , Li Charles , Liu Chia-Shang J. , Shiroishi Mark , Carmichael John D. , Zada Gabriel , Patel Vishal 
Published: June 2022

Background:
Cushing’s disease (CD) is defined by glucocorticoid excess secondary to the increased section of corticotropin by a pituitary adenoma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies performed at 1.5 or 3 Tesla (T) have demonstrated correlations between regional changes in brain structure and the progression of CD. In this report, we examine the changes in brain volume following corticotroph pituitary adenoma resection using ultra-high field 7 T MRI to increase the accuracy of our volumetric analyses.

Methods:
Thirteen patients were referred to the endocrinology clinic at our institution from 2017 to 2020 with symptoms of cortisol excess and were diagnosed with ACTH-dependent endogenous Cushing syndrome. Five patients had follow-up 7 T imaging at varying time points after a transsphenoidal resection.

Results:
Symmetrized percent change in regional volumes demonstrated a postoperative increase in cortical volume that was relatively larger than that of cerebral white matter or subcortical gray matter (percent changes = 0.0172%, 0.0052%, and 0.0120%, respectively). In the left cerebral hemisphere, the medial orbitofrontal, lateral orbitofrontal, and pars opercularis cortical regions experienced the most robust postoperative percent increases (percent changes = 0.0166%, 0.0122%, and 0.0068%, respectively). In the right cerebral hemisphere, the largest percent increases were observed in the pars triangularis, rostral portion of the middle frontal gyrus, and superior frontal gyrus (percent changes = 0.0156%, 0.0120%, and 0.0158%).

Conclusion:
Cerebral volume recovery following pituitary adenoma resection is driven by changes in cortical thickness predominantly in the frontal lobe, while subcortical white and gray matter volumes increase more modestly.
