description: Surgical debridement is regarded as the gold standard in the management of chronic or non-healing wounds, as it facilitates the promotion of healthy granulation tissue by removing necrotic tissue and foreign debris.1 This process not only reduces the bacterial burden but also enables the potential for tissue culturing, should microbiological analysis be warranted. Surgical excision is typically performed using specialized instruments such as the Weck/Goulian knife or Blair knife, which have long been established as primary tools for this procedure.2 Debriding anatomically challenging areas—such as the inter-web spaces of the hands and feet, delicate regions like the face and dorsum of the hands, or edematous tissues resulting from fluid resuscitation—necessitates a precise and careful approach to prevent damage to viable tissue. We report an innovative and novel technique of using a motorized toothbrush in aiding surgical wound debridement.

description: This Leaflet concerns the English pondscape "Water Friendly Farming, Leics".

In the framework of the project PONDERFUL, a synthetic “leaflet” has been developed for each of thepondscapes making part of DEMO-sites implemented across Europe, Turkey and Uruguay. The main objective of the leaflets is to present a selection of science-based success stories in the implementation of pondscapes as Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for addressing societal challenges (such as climate change and biodiversity loss), and to promote the transferability of these practices elsewhere. The success stories are evidenced in this leaflet by the measurement of indicators of the NatureContribution to People, and by a cost-benefit analysis.

The leaflets were written and designed to interest and inspire professionals in land use planning andmanagement of natural areas, people active in NGOs, and also for a wider and more varied public.The information provided in the leaflet is intentionally simplified to avoid excessive jargon andscientific complexity and to remain accessible and understandable to a broad audience.

description: Objectives: The phospholipid vesicle-based permeation assay (PVPA) is a recently established in vitro stratum corneum model to estimate the permeability of intact and healthy skin. The aim here was to further evolve this model to mimic the stratum corneum in a compromised skin barrier by reducing the barrier functions in a controlled manner. Methods: To mimic compromised skin barriers, PVPA barriers were prepared with explicitly defined reduced barrier function and compared with literature data from both human and animal skin with compromised barrier properties. Caffeine, diclofenac sodium, chloramphenicol and the hydrophilic marker calcein were tested to compare the PVPA models with established models. Results and discussions: The established PVPA models mimicking the stratum corneum in healthy skin showed good correlation with biological barriers by ranking drugs similar to those ranked by the pig ear skin model and were comparable to literature data on permeation through healthy human skin. The PVPA models provided reproducible and consistent results with a distinction between the barriers mimicking compromised and healthy skin. The trends in increasing drug permeation with an increasing degree of compromised barriers for the model drugs were similar to the literature data from other in vivo and in vitro models. Conclusions: The PVPA models have the potential to provide permeation predictions when investigating drugs or cosmeceuticals intended for various compromised skin conditions and can thus possibly reduce the time and cost of testing as well as the use of animal testing in the early development of drug candidates, drugs and cosmeceuticals.

description: The genetic variants identified by two large GWAS of educational attainment were used to test a polygenic selection model.Average frequencies of alleles with positive (Beta) effect on the phenotype (polygenic scores) were compared across populations and racial groups using data from 1000 Genomes and ALFRED. Strong correlations between polygenic scores and population IQ were found (r>0.8). Moreover, the polygenic score obtained from the two independent GWAS exhibited a strong correlation (r= 0.83), even after pruning for linkage disequilibrium.Factor analysis revealed that most alleles loaded on a single factor, which in turn was strongly correlated to population IQ.Polygenic and factor scores survived control for phylogenetic autocorrelation, although the latter’s net effect on population was stronger (Betas= 0.361 and 0.861, respectively). Results obtained from ALFRED data were similar and revealed a peak in polygenic and factor scores among East Asians (60.8% and 1.06, respectively) and a nadir among Africans and Native Americans (44.9%,44.1% and -1.47, -0.493, respectively).Geographic distance from Eastern Africa (assuming an origin of modern humans there) was only weakly predictive of factor and polygenic scores (r= 0.21-0.29).

description: The mapping of the F Entry (i.e. Scheda F), the Italian content standard for cataloguing photographs, to RDF is based upon a subset of cataloguing elements described in the version 3.00 of the aforementioned standard, released by the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione (ICCD). Although the F Entry may be mainly considered a national cataloguing reference, also international stakeholders can benefit from this mapping document, which is a set of shareable descriptive elements for photographs. The purpose of this mapping is indeed to ensure semantic interoperability among data providers want to publish their structured data about photographs in RDF as Linked Open Data. Therefore, this document provides a guidance to map metadata elements name to ontology terms as defined in well-known vocabularies, e.g., the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model (CRM), and by means of ontologies that have been appropriately developed for describing specific aspects of the F Entry standard. Hence, wherever needed, to avoid a lack of information, best suitable terms from other vocabularies have been adopted or created for the scope.

description: Objective: The goal of this research was to quantify the association between pain severity and several health outcomes in a large sample of patients diagnosed with some form of pain. Methods: Responses from patients who had been diagnosed with some form of pain (n = 14,459) were drawn from the 2013 EU National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS; n = 62,000). Respondents reported their subjective pain severity in the past week on a numerical rating scale (0–10) as well as the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36), Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI), and healthcare resource utilization in the past 6 months (healthcare professional (HCP) visits, emergency room (ER) visits, and hospitalizations). Associations between pain severity and health outcomes were examined via a series of regression models controlling for a set of demographic and health-related covariates. Results: After controlling for demographics and comorbidities, pain severity in the past week was shown to be significantly negatively associated with Health Utilities (b = −0.022, p b = 0.18, p b = 0.13, p b = 0.14, p b = 0.08, p Limitations: This study was a self-report cross-sectional study which may have biased the results and does not allow for causal inferences to be made. Finally, the regression models run were limited to available covariates and, hence, some potentially important covariates may not have been included in these models. Conclusions: The findings suggest that reducing pain severity could result in an increase in patients’ quality-of-life and work productivity, and a decrease in healthcare resource use. The equations, linking pain and outcomes, were presented in an accessible format so they could be readily applied in healthcare decision-making.

description: This study presents the emission factor of PM2.5, elemental carbon (EC), organic carbon (OC), and water-soluble ions for biomass-fired-induced downdraft gasifier and light duty diesel vehicle (LDDV). A portable dilution system (PDS) developed for on-field measurement of aerosol and their precursors from combustion sources were used for quenching of aerosol at near-atmospheric condition before collection on filters. PDS consists of a heated duct and particle sampling probe, dilution tunnel, zero air assembly, and a power supply unit. PDS was evaluated under controlled conditions in laboratory for gasifier cookstove and LDDV over wide range of dilution ratios to understand the effect of dilution on mixing, particle formation, and loss. The invariability in CO2, recorded along the length and at radial distances of cross-section of dilution tunnel, confirmed the rapid and homogenous mixing inside the dilution tunnel. The particle loss and nucleation inside the dilution tunnel accounted for 6–20% at different dilution ratios (30:1–90:1). PM2.5 emission factors for wood combustion in gasifier cookstove showed mild decrease (13%) with increasing dilution ratio from 75:1 to 108:1. However, a considerable decrease of 37% (221–139 mg km−1) was observed for LDDV with increase in dilution ratio from 39:1 to 144:1. Similar decrease in particulate organic carbon emission rates were observed indicating scarcity of sorptive organics, and insufficient residence time for condensation limited the particle formation from vapor phase organic compounds at high dilution ratios. © 2016 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Halophiles have been perceived as potential source of novel enzymes in recent years. The interest emanates from their ability to catalyze efficiently under high salt and organic solvents. Marinobacter sp. EMB8 α-amylase was found to be active and stable in salt and organic solvents. A study was carried out using circular dichroism (CD), fluorescence spectroscopy, and bioinformatics analysis of similar protein sequence to ascertain molecular basis of salt and solvent adaptability of α-amylase. Structural changes recorded in the presence of varying amounts of NaCl exhibited an increase in negative ellipticity as a function of salt, confirming that salt stabilizes the protein and increases the secondary structure, making it catalytically functional. The data of intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence (using 1-anilinonaphthalene 8-sulfonate [ANS] as probe) further confirmed the role of salt. The α-amylase was active in the presence of nonpolar solvents, namely, hexane and decane, but inactivated by ethanol. The decrease in the activity was correlated with the loss of tertiary structure in the presence of ethanol. Guanidine hydrochloride and pH denaturation indicated the molten globule state at pH 4.0. Partial N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified α-amylase revealed the relatedness to Pseudoalteromonas sp. α-amylase. “FVHLFEW” was found as the N-terminal signature sequence. Bioinformatics analysis was done using M. algicola α-amylase protein having the same N-terminal signature sequence. The three-dimensional structure of Marinobacter α-amylase was deduced using the I-TASSER server, which reflected the enrichment of acidic amino acids on the surface, imparting the stability in the presence of salt. Our study clearly indicate that salt is necessary for maintaining the secondary and tertiary structure of halophilic protein, which is a necessary prerequisite for catalysis.

description: This article proposes a new class of copula-based dynamic models for high-dimensional conditional distributions, facilitating the estimation of a wide variety of measures of systemic risk. Our proposed models draw on successful ideas from the literature on modeling high-dimensional covariance matrices and on recent work on models for general time-varying distributions. Our use of copula-based models enables the estimation of the joint model in stages, greatly reducing the computational burden. We use the proposed new models to study a collection of daily credit default swap (CDS) spreads on 100 U.S. firms over the period 2006 to 2012. We find that while the probability of distress for individual firms has greatly reduced since the financial crisis of 2008–2009, the joint probability of distress (a measure of systemic risk) is substantially higher now than in the precrisis period.

description: This study presents the emission factor of PM2.5, EC, OC and water soluble ions for biomass fired induced downdraft gasifier and light duty diesel vehicle. A portable dilution system (PDS) developed for on-field measurement of aerosol and their precursors from combustion sources is used for quenching of aerosol at near atmospheric condition before collection on filters. PDS consists of a heated duct and particle sampling probe, dilution tunnel, zero air assembly and a power supply unit. PDS was evaluated under controlled conditions in laboratory for low emitter (gasifier cookstove) and high emitter (light duty diesel vehicle, LDDV) over wide range of dilution ratios to understand the effect of dilution on mixing, particle formation and loss. The invariability in CO2, recorded along the length and at radial distances of cross section of dilution tunnel confirmed the rapid and homogenous mixing inside the dilution tunnel. The particle loss and nucleation inside the dilution tunnel accounted for 6-20% at different dilution ratios (30:1–90:1). PM2.5 emission factors for wood combustion in gasifier cook-stove showed mild decrease (13%) with increasing dilution ratio from 75:1 to 108:1. However, a considerable decrease of 37% (221 to 139 mgkm−1) was observed for LDDV with increase in dilution ratio from 39:1 to 144:1. Similar decrease in particulate organic carbon emission rates were observed indicating scarcity of sorptive organics, and insufficient residence time for condensation limited the particle formation from vapor phase organic compounds at high dilution ratios.

description: Objective: The goal of this research was to quantify the association between pain severity and several health outcomes in a large sample of patients diagnosed with some form of pain. Methods: Responses from patients who had been diagnosed with some form of pain (n= 14,459) were drawn from the 2013 EU National Health and Wellness Survey (NHWS; n = 62,000). Respondents reported their subjective pain severity in the past week on a numerical rating scale (0-10) as well as the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36), Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI), and healthcare resource utilisation in the past 6 months (Health care professional (HCP) visits, Emergency room (ER) visits and hospitalisations). Associations between pain severity and health outcomes were examined via a series of regression models controlling for a set of demographic and health-related covariates. Results: After controlling for demographics and comorbidities, pain severity in the past week was shown to be significantly negatively associated with Health Utilities (b=-.022, p Limitations: This study was a self-report cross-sectional study which may have biased the results and does not allow for causal inferences to be made. Finally, the regression models run were limited to available covariates and hence some potentially important covariates may not have been included in these models. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that reducing pain severity, could result in an increase in patients’ quality of life and work productivity, and a decrease in healthcare resource use. The equations, linking pain and outcomes, were presented in an accessible format so they could be readily applied in healthcare decision-making.

description: There is justification for limiting lead (Pb) exposure as much as possible, given its impact on health at low concentrations. Consequently, the aim of this study was to measure blood lead levels (BLL) and examine exposure factors related to BLL variations in the general adult population of northern France, a current and past industrial area. Two thousand inhabitants of northern France, aged between 20 and 59 years, were recruited using the quota method with caution. Blood lead levels were quantified by inductively coupled plasma–mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS), and variation factors were studied separately in men and women using multivariate stepwise linear and logistic regression models. The geometric mean of the BLL was 18.8 μg/L (95% confidence interval [CI]: 18.3–19.3). Occupational factors affected BLL only in men and represented 14% of total explained variance of BLL. External occupational factors significantly increasing mean levels of BLL were tobacco, consumption of some beverages (wine, coffee, tea, and/or tap water), raw vegetables, housing characteristics (built prior to 1948, Pb piping in the home) and do-it-yourself or leisure activities (paint stripping or rifle shooting). Consumption habits accounted together for 25% and 18% of the total explained variance, respectively, in men and women. Industrial environment did not significantly contribute to BLL variations. Blood lead levels observed in the general population of this industrial part of France did not appear to be excessively elevated compared to values found internationally. Nonetheless, these BLL remain a public health issue in regard to nonthreshold toxicity attributed to Pb.

description: A set of poly(L-lactide)-poly(ϵ-caprolactone) diblock copolymers (AB) and poly(L-lactide)-poly(ϵ-caprolactone)-poly(L-lactide) triblock copolymers (ABA) with predictable molecular weights and relatively narrow distributions were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of successively added ϵ-caprolactone (ϵ-CL) and L-lactide (LLA) using 4-methyl benzo-12-crown-4 imidazol-2-ylidene as catalyst. The effects of polymerization conditions, such as reaction time, temperature, monomer/catalyst molar ratio and monomer concentration on the copolymerization have been discussed in detail. The resulting copolymers were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, IR, GPC and DSC methods which confirmed the successful synthesis of block copolymers of LLA and ϵ-CL. Hydrolytic degradation of the polymers showed that the PLLA-PCL-PLLA copolymer exhibited faster degradation as compared with the PCL homopolymer in alkaline medium at 37°C.

description: A highly crosslinked composite dextran-based scaffold (named DexFoam) was tailored to overcome specific deficiencies of polymeric and ceramic bone scaffolds and to guarantee a bone-mimicking microenvironment for the proliferation of human mesenchymal stem cells in vitro. The creep resistance for up to 90% compressive stain, the capability to regain the original shape after deformation, and the good thermal stability in both physiological and “body limit” conditions make DexFoam a valid alternative to the currently available bone scaffolds. Histopathological evaluation for host reaction and tissue colonization of DexFoam scaffold, implanted subcutaneously in mice, demonstrated its in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradability.
