Assessment of Carbon Dioxide Angiography in Iliac Branched Repair

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate whether the use of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) angiography decreases the intraoperative use of iodine contrast medium (ICM), thereby decreasing the risk of developing postoperative renal damage in patients undergoing iliac branch device (IBD) implantation. Methods: Patients undergoing IBD implantation at a single tertiary center between May 2013 and August 2019 were screened for inclusion in the study. A cohort of patients in whom an intraoperative imaging protocol using predominantly CO 2 was compared with a control group in whom ICM was used (CO 2 and ICM groups). Fusion imaging was used in both groups. Retrospective review of the medical charts and all imaging was performed. Variables were expressed as median with interquartile range (IQR) or absolute number and percentage. Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney and χ 2 tests were used to compare continuous and categorical variables, respectively. P values of <0 .05 were considered statistically significant. Results: Twenty-three patients were included in the CO 2 group and 21 in the ICM group without significant differences in patient characteristics between the groups. Intraoperative iodine exposure was lower in the CO 2 group than in the ICM group (8.2 g [IQR, 7.1-10.9 g) vs 15.8 g (IQR 7.6-21 g); P = 0.015, respectively). There were no differences in technical success, clinical success, fluoroscopy time, and dose-area product in the 2 groups. There were no adverse events that could be related to the intraoperative use of CO 2. There was no difference in postoperative survival nor renal function assessment between the groups despite the higher number of accessory renal arteries embolized in the CO 2 group ( P = 0.221). Conclusions: Reduction of intraoperative ICM exposure during IBD implantation is feasible through the predominant use of CO 2 automated angiography. This can be done safely without affecting the technical success or radiation exposure. The immediate postoperative renal damage was low when a modern intraoperative imaging protocol with ICM was used and was not significantly reduced by the use of CO 2 . Further and larger studies are needed to investigate the long-term effects. Clinical Impact This study aimed to investigate how to minimize intraoperative risk during iliac branched repair exploring the intraoperative use of automated carbon dioxide angiography in order to decrease the use of contrast media protecting renal function and thereby potentially impacting long-term survival

Pregnancy‐adapted uterine artery endothelial cell Ca2+ signaling and its relationship with membrane potential

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Abstract Pregnancy‐derived uterine artery endothelial cells (P‐ UAEC ) express P2Y2 receptors and at high cell density show sustained and synchronous [Ca2+]i burst responses in response to ATP . Bursts in turn require coupling of transient receptor potential canonical type3 channel ( TRPC 3) and inositol 1,4,5‐triphosphate receptor type 2 ( IP 3R2), which is upregulated in P‐ UAEC in a manner dependent on connexin 43 (Cx43) gap junctions. While there is no known direct interaction of TRPC 3 with Cx43, early descriptions of TRPC 3 function showed it may also be influenced by altered membrane potential ( V m ). Herein, we ask if enhanced TRPC 3 Ca2+ bursting due to enhanced Cx43 coupling may be coupled via dynamic alterations in V m in P‐ UAEC , as reported in some ( HUVEC ) but not all endothelial cells. Following basic electrical characterization of UAEC , we employed a high sensitivity cell imaging system to simultaneously monitor cell V m and [Ca2+]i in real time in continuous monolayers of UAEC . Our findings show that while acute and sustained phase [Ca2+]i bursting occur dose‐dependently in response to ATP , V m is not coregulated with any periodicity related to [Ca2+]i bursting. Only a small but significant progressive change in V m is seen, and this is more closely related to overall mobilization of Ca2+. Surprisingly, this is also most apparent in NP ‐ UAEC > P‐ UAEC . In contrast [Ca2+]i bursting is more synchronous in P‐ UAEC and even achieves [Ca2+]i waves passing through the P‐ UAEC monolayer. The relevance of these findings to mechanisms of pregnancy adaptation and its failure in hypertensive pregnancy are discussed.
Further considerations on the function of the skin in early object relations

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

In 1968, the author presented a paper built around clinical experiences and infant observations "concerned with the primal function of the skin of the baby and of its primal objects in relation to the most primitive binding together of parts of the personality not as yet differentiated from parts of the body". The catastrophic anxiety of falling-into-space, the dead-end, haunts every demand for change and engenders a deep conservatism and demand for sameness, stability and support from the outside world. This may be masked where a second-skin formation is a prominent feature of character, but sudden collapse under stress reveals the flawed personality, well-adjusted as it may appear to be. In author's experience, such patients in analysis require a slow firmly contained process with prolonged working through of each step forward in their development.

A novel biological function of alginate in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its mucoid mutants: stimulation of exolipase

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC9027 with various commercial alginates from brown algae enhanced extracellular lipase activities in a time- and concentration-dependent manner (“exolipase stimulation”). Alginate isolated from Azotobacter vinelandii and mucoid mutants of P. aeruginosa was similarly effective. Several independently isolated mucoid (alginate-producing) mutants of P. aeruginosa showed higher spontaneous exolipase activities than the nonmucoid wild type. Alginate was chemically modified by (i) reduction of carboxyl groups (removal of charge), (ii) oxidation of pyranoid rings (destruction of tertiary structure), and (iii) reduction of reducing end groups. None of the chemical modifications resulted in total loss of the exolipase-stimulating ability of the alginate derivatives.
The Responsibility to Respect Workers’ Rights in Global Supply Chains

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this publication is to identify those responsible for violations of basic labour rights in global supply chains. The free movement of finance capital does not go hand in hand with the protection of human rights, and the possibility of using the work of workers all over the world in production does not guarantee equal treatment in the field of elementary human rights. The weakness of many states, the need for capital investment, the race to keep costs low, and the lack of diligence in complying with the law result in human rights violations. The multitude of actors involved and the jurisdiction of many countries do not create a clear picture of liability. It is necessary to try to assign responsibility to those process participants who are involved in the creation of the supply chain and who benefit financially from it.
Development of the Grating Mirror for the High Power Transmission System and Its General Theory

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

In the transmission system of the high power Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH), many mirrors have been installed in the injection antenna section in particular. In some cases, it is difficult to design a normal mirror due to the restriction of the boundary condition. A grating mirror is one of the solutions in such cases. Moreover, controlled power splitting or combining at high power can be realized by a grating mirror. Diffraction angle, efficiency, and distortion/conversion of the polarization can be controlled by the grating shape design. In this study, we developed a grating mirror to efficiently separate the second harmonics component from the fundamental high power beam at 82.7 GHz and higher harmonics. The performance of this grating is confirmed experimentally for the use of vortex beam formation. During this development, the design procedure of a grating mirror is established and generalized to apply for various purposes.
Proteases (caseinase and elastase), hemolysins, adhesion and susceptibility to antimicrobials of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia isolates obtained from clinical specimens

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Forty-six S. maltophilia isolates obtained from hospital clinical specimens were studied for protease (caseinase and elastase) production, hemolytic activity, adhesion to HEp-2 cells, plastic and glass. Susceptibility to antimicrobial agents was also evaluated. The majority of isolates were obtained from respiratory tract secretions of patients using medical devices. All the isolates grown overnight were able to hydrolyze casein at 30masculineC and 37masculineC. After 72h, all the isolates hydrolyzed elastase at 30masculineC and 40 isolates (87%) at 37masculineC. Most of the isolates presented hemolytic activity after 96h of incubation at both temperatures. Rabbit blood showed the hightest hemolytic activity, after 96h 61% and 98% of tested isolates presented beta-hemolysis at 30masculineC and 37masculineC, respectively. All isolates were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfametoxazole and were resistant to most beta-lactams tested. By the dilution method, S. maltophilia showed a high susceptibility to ticarcillin-clavulanate and a lower susceptibility to ciprofloxacin than the agar diffusion. The isolates showed adhesion to HEp-2 cells, plastic and glass. The proteolytic activities and adhesion to inanimate surfaces detected in S. maltophilia can be related to the pathogenesis of this bacterium and/or medical device colonization which favors the development of nosocomial infections.

Etiology and management of shisham die-back disease in Pakistan forests

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The etiology of shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) die-back has been a subject of considerable scientific debate for hundred years. No single pathogen species is responsible for die-back outbreaks, making shisham die-back challenging to study. Symptoms of the disease include yellowing, the water-soaked appearance of leaves, thinning of leaves and crown, branch die-back (single or whole), bark splitting, gummosis, and lesion development. Symptomatic shisham were sampled from 117 sites across Pakistan. One hundred and ninety-two fungal isolations were made from 1170 shisham samples and were identified as Ceratocystis sp. and Fusarium sp. based on cultural morphology. Koch's postulates were completed using 23 isolates of Ceratocystis sp. and four isolates of Fusarium sp. on three shisham age groups a) 6-12-month-old nursery seedlings growing under greenhouse conditions, b) 1-3-year-old plants growing under natural field conditions, and c) 10-15-year-old tree growing under natural field conditions. Inoculation with Ceratocystis isolates resulted in typical shisham die-back symptoms. Inoculation with Fusarium sp. did not produce any symptoms alone or in combination with Ceratocystis sp. Four fungicides were evaluated for efficacy against Ceratocystis sp. using in vitro tests and field trials. In in vitro test, propiconazole resulted in the highest level of inhibition (88.88%) at day seven, followed by difenoconazole (84.75%), hexaconazole (81.11%), while benzimidazole (77.73%) was least effective against the tested fungus. The efficacy of these fungicides has declined throughout greenhouse trials conducted in this study. Additionally, these fungicides could not prevent tree loss in trees inoculated with Ceratocystis sp. in the field trials. Thus, shisham die-back continues to be of concern in shisham-growing areas in Indo- Pakistan. However, chemical management and continuing research on the epidemiology of this disease may provide a solution
Discovery of TeV γ-ray emission from the neighbourhood of the supernova remnant G24.7+0.6 by MAGIC

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

SNR G24.7+0.6 is a 9.5 kyrs radio and γ-ray supernova remnant evolving in a dense medium. In the GeV regime, SNR G24.7+0.6 (3FHL J1834.1–0706e/FGES J1834.1–0706) shows a hard spectral index (Γ ∼ 2) up to 200 GeV, which makes it a good candidate to be observed with Cherenkov telescopes such as MAGIC. We observed the field of view of SNR G24.7+0.6 with the MAGIC telescopes for a total of 31 h. We detect very high-energy γ-ray emission from an extended source located 0.34° away from the centre of the radio SNR. The new source, named MAGIC J1835–069 is detected up to 5 TeV, and its spectrum is well-represented by a power-law function with spectral index of 2.74 ± 0.08. The complexity of the region makes the identification of the origin of the very high-energy emission difficult; however, the spectral agreement with the LAT source and overlapping position at less than 1.5σ point to a common origin. We analysed 8 yr of Fermi-LAT data to extend the spectrum of the source down to 60 MeV. Fermi-LAT and MAGIC spectra overlap within errors and the global broad-band spectrum is described by a power law with exponential cut-off at 1.9 ± 0.5 TeV. The detected γ-ray emission can be interpreted as the results of proton–proton interaction between the supernova and the CO-rich surrounding.

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The present investigation was carried out at Main Experimental Station, Department of Floriculture and Landscape, A.N.D.U.A. &T., Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.), 224229 during the year 2018-19 to investigate the “Effect of GA3 and urea on growth, and yield of gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.) cv. Novalux”. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with three replications and twelve treatment combinations comprising three levels of GA3 (0, 150 and 300 ppm) and four levels of urea (0%, 1.00%, 2.00% and 3.00 %) as foliar spraying at 30 and 60 days after sowing. The results revealed that 300 ppm GA3 and 3% urea resulted maximum plant height 76.93 (cm), maximum number of leaves 7.30 (cm) per plant, number of spike 2.20 per plant and 2.75 (lacks) per hectare, maximum number of corms 2.47 per plant and 3.08 lacks per hectare, maximum yield of cormels 48.46 (lacks) per hectare.
Controlled Aspiration of Subretinal Fluid in the Diagnosis of Carcinoma Metastatic to the Choroid

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Carcinoma metastatic to the choroid was diagnosed in three patients by cytopathologic examination of subretinal fluid. The specimen was obtained using a scleral depressor modified to allow controlled aspiration of subretinal fluid through a sharp, angled, 30-gauge needle. This new method provides a useful tool for accurate diagnosis of carcinoma metastatic to the choroid in cases where the diagnosis is in question.
Selective NF-κB modulation in mesenchymal stem cells generates distinct secretomes with pro-osteogenic or anti-resorptive properties for bone regeneration

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Osteoporosis is a chronic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, resulting in increased fracture risk and reduced quality of life. Given its progressive nature and the involvement of chronic inflammation, there is growing interest in targeting the bone–immune axis for therapeutic innovation. In this study, we investigated the regenerative and immunomodulatory potential of a bioengineered secretome—collected as conditioned media (CM)—from Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) in which key genes of the NF-κB signalling pathway (IKKβ and NIK) were transiently silenced using LNA-based antisense oligonucleotides (GapmeRs). The resulting human and mouse secretomes (h/mCM-IKKβ and h/mCM-NIK) were tested across a range of in vitro and ex vivo models relevant to bone biology and inflammation. Both mCM-Ikkβ and mCM-Nik significantly enhance the polarization of M0 macrophages towards the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, indicating immunomodulatory capacity. Regarding osteogenesis, CM of human and murine MSCs where Nik/NIK has been silenced, enhanced mineralization and osteogenic gene expression in murine pre-osteoblasts and in human MSCs derived from osteoporotic patients. Conversely, hCM-IKKβ did not increase mineralization but was effective in reducing the RANKL/OPG ratio in human osteoporotic bone explants, suggesting a shift towards anti-resorptive activity. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that selective inhibition of NF-κB components in MSCs alters their secretory profile in ways that enhance bone formation or suppress bone resorption, depending on the target. This study supports the development of personalized, cell-free therapies based on engineered MSC-derived secretomes for the treatment of osteoporosis.
A parallel GPU implementation of an algorithm for determining directional distances

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The paper describes a parallel implementation of a cell-based algorithm for determining directional distances from points to polygons. Such distances have been applied, e.g., in coastal research. While the parallelization of the algorithm is in principle straightforward, the limitations of GPU devices lead to challenges in obtaining good performance. Our simple parallel GPU implementation achieves 8-fold speedup compared to a CPU implementation, yet maximal possible speedup is not achieved.
Recent advances in aminostratigraphic methods and data management

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Amino Acid Racemization Workshop; Bern, Switzerland, 23 July 2011 Over the past several years, numerous communities of scientists have recognized the need for preservation of data in formats that will be widely accessible in the future (see, e.g., AGU Position Statements; http://www.agu.org/sci_pol/positions/geodata.shtml ). This effort also extends to preservation of important samples and the documentation of their storage location for future use. Within the history of any discipline, laboratories and collections will be active and then become inactive, often with the loss of material and unpublished data. For labs active prior to the digital era, this issue is often quite serious, as even published data may be difficult to access.

A review of the diatom research in the Gulf of Gdańsk and Vistula Lagoon (southern Baltic Sea)

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The paper presents the history of diatom studies carried out in the Gulf of Gdańsk and the Vistula Lagoon since the beginning of the 20th century. One aspect of the research focuses on describing the structure of planktonic and benthic communities living in different parts of the area or occurring in their surface sediments as taphocoenoses. Other investigations concentrate on the fossil diatom flora, which is widely used in the research on the Late Glacial and Holocene to resolve paleogeographic, sedimentological and paleoecological problems.
End-user Empowerment: An Interdisciplinary Perspective

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

In virtue of fast spreading emerging technologies, considering end-user empowerment (or human empowerment) while developing or adapting technologies gains importance. Even though many different approaches to end-user empowerment have been proposed, it is hardly clear what "end-user (human) empowerment" is and how it is possible to develop "end-user empowering systems". This paper offers an interdisciplinary perspective on how it can be possible to arrive at a synthesized concept of end-user empowerment, in particular regarding the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The provided interdisciplinary perspective includes concepts from Computer Science, Information Systems, Cognitive Science, Psychology, Sociology, Science-Technology-Society, Design, System Science and Philosophy. Based on an interdisciplinary literature review, and from an enactivist, pluralist, and constructivist perspective, we argue that the individual end-users and their needs and values, as well as the environment (including socioeconomical contexts, other actors, etc.) and technologies they interact with, continuously co-create the conception of end-user empowerment. Moreover, we propose that perceiving technological development as co-creation, and considering technologies as value-bearers could provide the first steps in the development of conceptual frameworks required for the development of end-user empowering systems.
