Authors: Nagao Menezes Daniel Francisco , Álvarez Rodríguez Juan Fernando 
Published: December 2022

Repensar una nueva generación de programas de desarrollo territorial implica considerar la democratización de los mercados, articular los modelos de intervención y generar estrategias para atender los diversos tipos de conflicto, desigualdades, pobrezas y particularidades históricas de las estructuras económicas de los territorios. No es posible escindir los anteriores factores de las estrategias de desarrollo.
A partir de un método de investigación hipotético – deductivo, en este documento se estudian dos programas europeos implementados en América Latina como “Terceira Italia” y “Leader” y se analizan las diversas miradas gubernamentales en un contexto de persistencia de economías rentísticas y en constante conflicto. Finalmente se aborda el fomento y potenciación de redes constituidas por diversas formas y lógicas de organizaciones que se autorregulan en los mercados, en especial de economía social y solidaria.

Authors: Davis Melissa , Sullivan Paxton , Bretón Jimena , Dean Lauren , Edwards-Callaway Lily 
Published: December 2022

IntroductionThe impact of pre-slaughter management practices on fed beef cattle welfare is a multifaceted and well researched subject matter. Factors such as transportation, handling, lairage time and several animal characteristics can directly impact the cattle’s behavior, mobility, blood lactate and cortisol levels, likelihood of injury and ultimately overall cattle welfare. Animal welfare continues to grow as a critical component of slaughter in the fed beef industry, yet a formal review of related research does not exist.MethodsA scoping review was performed in order to (1) catalog pre-slaughter management factors that impact fed beef cattle welfare at the time of slaughter, (2) identify indicators used to evaluate the impact of pre-slaughter management on fed beef cattle welfare at slaughter, and (3) gain further understanding of the relationship between pre-slaughter management factors and fed beef cattle welfare outcome indicators at slaughter. Three data bases were ultimately searched: PubMed, CAB Abstracts, and Web of Science. The concepts used in the database searches were the population of interest (i.e., fed beef cattle), the location in the supply chain, preslaughter management factors, and welfare outcomes.ResultsA total of 69 studies were included in final analysis for this review, including studies from six geographic regions around the globe. Studies involving alternative slaughter methods (e.g., religious stunning or mobile slaughter) were not included in the formal analysis of this review, but still merited an in-depth discussion within this paper. After reviewing the studies, a total of 37 pre-slaughter factors and 69 indicators of welfare were measured throughout. Pre-slaughter management factors were then categorized by: animal characteristics; environmental characteristics; handling; lairage; transportation; and water/feed. Outcomeindicators of welfare were categorized into: behaviors; health, injury and disease; physiological; and stunning and insensibility.DiscussionPre-slaughter factors relating to transportation and handling, and welfare outcomes measured by behaviors and physiology were of the most researched throughout the studies.The results of this review offer a catalogue of commonly researched factors and indicators of welfare measured during the pre-slaughter phase, as well ast he relationships between them. This review also offers further substantial evidence that a multitude of events in the pre-slaughter phase affect fed beef cattle welfare and a collection of highly applicable welfare indicators to expedite further research on the effects of pre-slaughter factors and the application of improved practices.

Published: December 2022

Background: Dissociation of the polyethylene liner after reverse shoulder arthroplasty could cause shoulder dislocation that could not achieve closed reduction. The cause of liner dissociation is currently unclear.Method: Non-homogeneous model of the bone was constructed and dynamic finite element analysis was utilized to simulate the impingement of the polyethylene liner and scapula during humeral adduction. The stress distribution of the fixation claws, their degree of deformation (DOD), and the stress of the impingement sites in three initial humeral postures (neutral, 30° flexion, and 30° extension) were measured and analyzed. The influence of the liner material stiffness was also investigated.Result: The impingement stress on the liner and scapula was 100–200 MPa, and different humeral postures caused different locations of impingement points. The fixation claws’ maximum principal stress (MPS) results were below 5 MPa. In the connection area between some fixation claws and the liner, compressive stresses on the inside and tensile stresses on the outside were observed, which showed that the fixation claws were prone to deform toward the center direction. The maximum DOD results of three initial humeral postures (neutral, 30° flexion, and 30° extension) were 3.6%, 2.8%, and 3.5%, respectively. The maximum DOD results of neutral initial humeral posture were 0.51% and 11.4% when the elastic modulus of the liner was increased and decreased by a factor of 10, respectively.Conclusion: The humeral adduction impingement could lead to the deformation of the claw-shaped liner fixation structure, which might be one of the reasons for the liner dissociation. The increased stiffness of the liner material helped to reduce the deformation of the fixation structure.

Respiration monitoring is a promising alternative to medical diagnosis of several diseases. However, current techniques of respiration monitoring often require expensive and cumbersome devices which greatly limit their medical applications. Here, we present a fully integrated wearable device consisting of a flexible LCP-copper interdigital electrode, a sensing layer and a wireless electrochemical analysis system. The developed humidity sensor exhibits a high sensitivity, a good repeatability and a rapid response/recover time. The long-term stability is over 30 days at different relative humidity. By integrating the flexible humidity sensor with miniaturized electrochemical analysis system (0.8 cm × 1.8 cm), response current concerning respiration can be wirelessly transmitted to App-assisted smartphone in real time. Furthermore, the fabricated humidity sensor can realize skin moisture monitoring in a touch-less way. The large-scale production of miniaturized flexible sensor (4 mm × 6 mm) has significantly contributed to commercial deployment.

The unicellular flagellate algae Poterioochromonas malhamensis is a potential fucoxanthin-rich resource for sustainable and cost-effective fucoxanthin production. Light and nutrients are critical regulators for the accumulation of fucoxanthin in P. malhamensis. In this study, the maximum fucoxanthin yield of 50.5 mg L−1 and productivity of 6.31 mg L−1 d−1 were achieved by coupling high-cell-density fermentation with illumination. It was found that the combined use of organic and inorganic nitrogen (N) nutrition could improve the fucoxanthin yield as single inorganic or organic N had limitation to enhance cell growth and fucoxanthin accumulation. White light was the optimal light quality for fucoxanthin accumulation. Under white light and a moderate light intensity of 150 μmol m−2 s−1, the highest biomass concentration and fucoxanthin content reached 32.9 g L−1 and 1.56 mg g−1 of dry cell weight (DCW), respectively. This is the first study on effective fucoxanthin production in P. malhamensis by integrating illumination with high-cell-density fermentation, which paved the way for further development of P. malhamensis as a potential source for commercial fucoxanthin production.

Disposal of copper, manganese and iron is particularly problematic in wastewater of metallurgical and galvanization plants, the electronics industry and agriculture. On the other hand, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), emitted from industrial processes, transportation and consumer products are the main class of air pollutants. The study revealed the potential of waste metal-loaded zeolite, generated through wastewater treatment procedures, to be utilised as an effective VOC removal catalyst for air treatment. In the first step, we have evaluated the sorption performance of natural zeolite clinoptilolite (HEU type), and synthetic zeolite 4A (LTA type) for the simultaneous removal of Cu2+, Mn2+ and Fe3+ species from aqueous solution. By a detailed sorption study, we determined the optimum sorption conditions and maximum metal concentrations in wastewater that can be after treatment disposed of in rivers or municipal plants. The efficiency of both zeolites for metal immobilization was demonstrated for concentrations up to 5 mg metals/1 g zeolite. These waste Cu-, Mn- and Fe-loaded zeolites were thermally treated at 540 °C before the second step, where we evaluated their catalytic performance in removing VOC. The thermally treated waste Cu-, Mn- and Fe-loaded natural zeolite clinoptilolite showed good catalytic performance in total toluene oxidation as a model VOC (conversion rate up to 96% at 510°C) and cycling stability (less than 15% drop in conversion rate in 4 h). In contrast, this is not the case for thermally treated waste Cu-, Mn- and Fe-loaded synthetic zeolite 4A.

Sensitive spectrofluorometric and liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection methods have been developed for detection and determination of naproxen drug in the presence of cucurbit7uril (CB7). Fluorescence signals have been improved with the addition of CB7 to the drug aqueous solution. Fluorescence spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, 1H-NMR, and liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection were used to investigate the guest-host interaction of naproxen drug and cucurbiturils. Naproxen was found to form a supramolecular complex with CB7 that had a high formation constant. The optimal conditions for the interaction were discovered using spectroflurometry to be 0.2 mg/ml of CB7, 2.4 μg/ml of naproxen drug, and pH10. A 1:1 complex between naproxen and CB7 is revealed by proton NMR and tandem mass spectrometry. Using the standard addition calibration method, an HPLC with a fluorescence detector was used to detect naproxen in influent and effluent wastewater samples. Finally, it was discovered that the measured concentrations of naproxen in the influent and the effluent wastewater were 1.87 × 10−4 ppb and 2.1 × 10−5 ppb, respectively. This was done by sample enrichment, which reduced the 1000 mL into 1 ml.

Published: December 2022

BackgroundExtracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an important clinical treatment for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) combined with cardiogenic shock, but the role of programmed cell death (PCD)-related genes in prognostication has not yet been investigated. Therefore, we explored the key prognostic biomarkers and immune infiltration in ECMO treatment in AMI combined with cardiogenic shock.MethodsThe GSE93101 dataset was analyzed from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and the expression levels of PCD-related genes in AMI under ECMO were identified. Differentially expressed PCD-related genes between successful and failed treatment samples were analyzed, and Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression and random forest were used to screen PCD-related molecular markers for ECMO treatment in AMI combined with cardiogenic shock. Co-expressed regulatory network and enrichment functions of the hub PCD-related genes were performed. In addition, the single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) algorithm was used to calculate the immune cell infiltration of the ECMO treatment samples.ResultsA total of 115 differentially expressed genes were identified from the GSE93101 dataset, and 76 genes were associated with PCD. Then, two hub PCD-related genes, Cell division cycle associated 7 (CDCA7), ankyrin repeat and SOCS box containing 13 (ASB13) were identified as prognostic markers of ECMO treatment in AMI combined with cardiogenic shock. The most significant Gene Ontology (GO) enriched terms of the co-expressed protein of ASB13 are related to post-translational protein modification, cullin-RING ubiquitin ligase complex, and cullin family protein binding, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that ubiquitin mediated proteolysis is the most enriched pathway. The results of GO and KEGG analysis in CDCA7 were mainly involved in DNA and cell cycle related activities and pathways. Moreover, we found that the successful treatment samples contained a lower proportion of nature killer T cells using immune infiltration analysis. Immune cell infiltration analysis revealed that ASB13 was positively correlated with natural killer cell (r = 0.591, p = 0.026), monocyte (r = 0.586, p = 0.028), and gamma delta T cell (r = 0.562, p = 0.036).ConclusionThe results of this study showed that ASB13 and CDCA7 may contribute to the occurrence and progression of AMI with cardiogenic shock under ECMO.

Published: December 2022

BackgroundEpicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays a significant role in promoting atrial fibrillation (AF) due to its proinflammatory properties and anatomic proximity to the myocardium. We sought to assess whether left atrial (LA) EAT volume is associated with AF recurrence following catheter ablation.MethodsEAT was assessed via the 3D MRI Dixon sequence in 101 patients undergoing AF ablation. Patients were followed for arrhythmia recurrence.ResultsDuring an average follow-up period of 1 year, post-ablation AF recurrence occurred in 31 (30.7%) patients. LA EAT index was higher in those with compared to without recurrence (20.7 [16.9, 30.4] vs. 13.7 [10.5, 20.1] mL/m2, p &lt; 0.001), and so was LA volume index (66 [52.6, 77.5] vs. 49.9 [37.7, 61.8] mL/m2, p = 0.001). Cox regression analysis showed LA EAT (HR = 1.089; 95% CI: [1.049–1.131], p &lt; 0.001) to be an independent predictor of post-ablation AF recurrence. The ROC curve for LA EAT index in the prediction of AF recurrence had an AUC of 0.77 (95% CI 0.68–0.86, p &lt; 0.001) and showed an optimal cutoff value of 14.29 mL/m2 to identify patients at risk of post-ablation AF recurrence. Integrating LA EAT with clinical risk factors improved prediction of AF recurrence (AUC increased from 0.65 to 0.79, DeLong test p = 0.044). Kaplan-Meier analysis for recurrence-free survival showed a significant difference between two groups of patients identified by the optimal LA EAT index cutoff of 14.29 mL/m2 (log rank = 14.79; p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionEAT quantified using cardiac MRI, a reproducible and widely accessible imaging parameter, is a strong and independent predictor of post-ablation AF recurrence.

To assess whether the current body of accumulated data can give convincing evidence in favor of sodium-glucose transport protein-2 inhibitor (SGLT-2i) in all types of heart failure (HF). We searched for randomized controlled trials contrasting the effectiveness of SGLT-2i to placebo or other hypoglycemic medications on clinicaltrials.gov, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library database. To gauge effect size, hazard ratios (HR) were employed as measurements. The composite outcome of cardiovascular death or hospitalization owing to HF was the primary endpoint. Eleven studies were included. In comparison to the control group, the data demonstrated that SGLT-2i is related with a decreased incidence of composite outcome (HR: 0.77, 95% CIs: 0.73–0.81, I2 = 0%, P &lt; 0.01), CV death (HR: 0.87, 95% CIs: 0.81–0.94, I2 = 3%, P &lt; 0.01), all-cause mortality (HR: 0.90, 95% CIs: 0.84–0.96, I2 = 10%, P &lt; 0.01), and hospitalization due to HF (HHF) (HR: 0.70, 95% CIs: 0.66–0.75, I2 = 0%, P &lt; 0.01). The trial sequential analysis found strong evidence of a decrease in the incidence of all clinical outcomes with SGLT-2i when compared to the control group. Subgroup analysis demonstrated that the association between SGLT-2i and clinical outcome was independent of population characteristics. We confirm that the present evidence supports the use of SGLT-2i in a wide range of HF patients.Systematic review registration[https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/#recordDetails], identifier [CRD42022333279].

Published: December 2022

IntroductionChemoradiotherapy (CRT) has been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular (CV) adverse events (CVAE). Coronary artery calcium scoring (CAC) has shown to predict coronary events beyond the traditional CV risk factors. This study examines whether CAC, measured on standard of care, non-contrast chest CT (NCCT) imaging, predicts the development of CVAE in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with CRT.MethodsPatients with NSCLC treated with CRT at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 7/2009 until 4/2014 and who had at least one NCCT scan within 6 months from their first CRT were identified. CAC scoring was performed on NCCT scans by an expert cardiologist and a cardiac radiologist following the 2016 SCCT/STR guidelines. CVAE were graded based on the most recent Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. CVAE were also grouped into (i) coronary/vascular events, (ii) arrhythmias, or (iii) heart failure. All CVAE were adjudicated by a board-certified cardiologist.ResultsOut of a total of 193 patients, 45% were female and 91% Caucasian. Mean age was 64 ± 9 years and mean BMI 28 ± 6 kg/m2. Of 193 patients, 74% had CAC &gt;0 Agatston units (AU), 49% CAC ≥100 AU and 36% CAC ≥300 AU. Twenty-nine patients (15%) developed a grade ≥2 CVAE during a median follow-up of 24.3 months (IQR: 10.9–51.7). Of those, 11 (38%) were coronary/vascular events. In the multivariate cox regression analysis, controlling for mean heart dose and pre-existing CV disease, higher CAC score was independently associated with development of a grade ≥2 CVAE [HR: 1.04 (per 100 AU), 95% CI: 1.01–1.08, p = 0.022] and with worse overall survival (OS; CAC ≥100 vs. &lt;100 AU, HR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.11–2.44, p = 0.013). In a sub-analysis evaluating the type of the CVAE, it was the coronary/vascular events that were significantly associated with higher baseline CAC (median: 676 AU vs. 73 AU, p = 0.035).DiscussionCardiovascular adverse events are frequent in patients with NSCLC treated with CRT. CAC calculated on “standard of care” NCCT can predict the development of CVAEs and specifically coronary/vascular events, as well as OS, independently from other traditional risk factors and radiation mean heart dose.Clinical trial registration[https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00915005], identifier [NCT00915005].
