title: Blood Levels of Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha and Its Type 2 Receptor Are Elevated in Patients with Boston Type I Keratoprosthesis

description: <b>Purpose</b>: Boston keratoprosthesis (KPro) patients are prone to glaucoma even with well-controlled intraocular pressure (IOP). Recent experimental data have shown that soluble tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-<i>α</i>) after ocular injury may contribute to progressive retinal damage and subsequent glaucoma. This study evaluates the blood plasma levels of soluble TNF-<i>α</i>, TNF receptors 1 (TNFR1) and 2 (TNFR2), and leptin in patients with Boston type I KPro. <b>Methods</b>: Venous blood samples were collected from KPro patients with glaucoma (KPro G, <i>n</i> = 19), KPro patients without glaucoma (KPro NoG, <i>n</i> = 12), primary angle closure glaucoma without KPro (PACG, <i>n</i> = 13), and narrow angles without glaucoma or KPro (NA, <i>n</i> = 21). TNF-<i>α</i>, TNFR1, TNFR2, and leptin levels were quantified using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was assessed using the Westergren test. Patients with underlying autoimmune conditions or diabetes were excluded from the study. <b>Results</b>: All groups had similar age, body mass index (BMI), IOP, and ESR (<i>p</i> ≥ 0.11). The mean time from KPro surgery to blood draw was 5.3 ± 3.7 years. Compared to NA patients (0.72 ± 0.3 pg/ml), KPro G and KPro NoG patients had higher blood plasma levels of TNF-<i>α</i> (1.18 ± 0.58 pg/ml, <i>p</i> = 0.006; 1.16 ± 0.50 pg/ml, <i>p</i> = 0.04, respectively). Similarly, KPro G patients had higher blood plasma levels of TNFR2 (2768 ± 1368 pg/ml) than NA patients (2020 ± 435 pg/ml, <i>p</i> = 0.048). In multivariate analysis, KPro status remained positively associated with TNF-<i>α</i> levels (<i>β</i> = 0.36; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.14–0.58; <i>p</i> = 0.002) and TNFR2 levels (<i>β</i> = 458.3; 95% CI: 32.8–883.7; <i>p</i> = 0.035) after adjusting for age, gender, BMI, glaucoma status, and ESR. TNFR1 and leptin levels were not significantly different in the study groups. <b>Conclusions</b>: We detected elevated serum levels of TNF-<i>α</i> and TNFR2 in KPro patients. Longitudinal studies are needed to establish TNF-<i>α</i> and TNFR2 as serum biomarkers related to KPro surgery. <b>Abbreviations</b>: BCVA: best corrected visual acuity; BMI: body mass index; CDR: cup-to-disc ratio; EDTA: ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; ELISA: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; HVF: Humphrey visual field; IOP: intraocular pressure; KPro G: keratoprosthesis with glaucoma; KPro NoG: keratoprosthesis without glaucoma; KPro: keratoprosthesis; MD: mean deviation; NA: narrow angle; non-KPro: without keratoprosthesis; PACG: primary angle closure glaucoma; RNFL: retinal nerve fiber layer; TNF-α: tumor necrosis factor alpha; TNFR1: tumor necrosis factor receptor 1; TNFR2: tumor necrosis factor receptor 2

description: Road dusts contain platinum group precious metals (PMs), which can be recovered for use in catalytic oil upgrading. A PM market analysis between 1992 to 2018 tracks the significant price changes for palladium, platinum, gold, and rhodium. The costs of PM extraction and production of bio-neocatalysts are estimated, utilising an original research economic analysis from 2008, and updating the costs to 2016-2018 quotes. <br>A summary of the amount of catalyst required to upgrade heavy oils and pyrolysis bio-oils, in addition to the calculation of equivalent tailpipe emissions.<br>Finally, a comparative assessment of total upgrading costs from commercial heavy oil and viable pyrolysis oil production technologies has been calculated, utilising commercial catalyst costs in comparison to the estimated production costs of the bio-neocatalysts.

title: Postcranial remains of <i>Teraterpeton hrynewichorum</i> (Reptilia: Archosauromorpha) and the mosaic evolution of the saurian postcranial skeleton

description: <i>Teraterpeton hrynewichorum</i> is an unusual archosauromorph reptile from the Upper Triassic (Carnian) Evangeline Member of the Wolfville Formation in Nova Scotia (Canada). Its long snout has transversely broad, cusped ‘molariform’ teeth posteriorly and lacks teeth anteriorly. The temporal region of the cranium is ‘euryapsid’ with large upper and closed lower temporal fenestrae. A previously undescribed specimen referable to <i>Teraterpeton</i> includes a nearly complete pelvic girdle and both hind limbs. The ilium has a long, dorsoventrally deep anterior process similar to that of derived rhynchosaurs. The pelvis has a well-developed thyroid fenestra, a feature shared only by Tanystropheidae among Archosauromorpha. Metatarsal V is proximodistally short, resembling the condition in Tanystropheidae. The pedal unguals of <i>Teraterpeton</i> are strongly flattened mediolaterally, dorsoventrally deep and weakly curved, much like the manual unguals. We performed a phylogenetic analysis of a matrix comprising 61 taxa of Permo-Triassic diapsid reptiles and 337 characters, which supports the position of <i>Teraterpeton</i> as the sister-taxon of <i>Trilophosaurus</i> + <i>Spinosuchus</i>. In the current phylogeny, parsimony-based character optimization of the aforementioned character-states in <i>Teraterpeton</i> indicate that all were acquired independently from other saurian lineages. The unusual combination of postcranial features in <i>Teraterpeton</i> underscores the critical importance of comprehensive taxon sampling for understanding the mode of character change among Triassic diapsid reptiles and careful apomorphy-based identifications to faunal analyses.

title: Learning while multitasking: short and long-term benefits of brain stimulation

description: We employed a simulated production task that mimics the real-world skill acquisition required of operators working in control rooms of power plants to assess short and long-term effects of transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS). tRNS has shown potential for enhancing learning and performance of cognitive skills. Forty subjects (24 female) learned how to execute the simulated production task during the training phase and were required to perform a secondary task during the skill acquisition phase while they received active (12 min) or sham tRNS on DLPFC. After 2 weeks they had to recall the task again without any stimulation. The results demonstrate that tRNS promoted better multitasking as reflected by better performance in a secondary task during and immediately after tRNS. However, 2 weeks later, beneficial effect of tRNS on retention was moderated by general mental ability. Particularly, tRNS benefited those with lower general mental ability. <b>Practitioner summary:</b> By using a simulated production task, we assessed the effects of tRNS on learning and skill retention. The study indicates that neurostimulation can enhance the learning of multiple complex tasks. Moreover, it shows that retention of those tasks can be supported by neurostimulation, especially for those with lower general mental ability.

title: Plant–environment interactions through a functional traits perspective: a review of Italian studies

description: Italy is among the European countries with the greatest plant diversity due to both a great environmental heterogeneity and a long history of man–environment interactions. Trait-based approaches to ecological studies have developed greatly over recent decades worldwide, although several issues concerning the relationships between plant functional traits and the environment still lack sufficient empirical evaluation. To draw insights on the association between plant functional traits and direct and indirect human and natural pressures on the environmental drivers, this article summarizes the existing knowledge on this topic by reviewing the results of studies performed in Italy adopting a functional trait approach on vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens. Although we recorded trait measurements for 1418 taxa, our review highlighted some major gaps in plant traits knowledge: Mediterranean ecosystems are poorly represented; traits related to belowground organs are still overlooked; traits measurements for bryophytes and lichens are lacking. Finally, intraspecific variation has been little studied at community level so far. We conclude by highlighting the need for approaches evaluating trait–environment relationship at large spatial and temporal scales and the need of a more effective contribution to online databases to tie more firmly Italian researchers to international scientific networks on plant traits.
