Abstract

The Gulf of Pozzuoli (GoP) is a marginal sub-basin of Tyrrhenian Sea, characterized by a strong anthropogenic impact, due to high population density and intense commercial and tourist traffic. Historically, the GoP is dedicated to the farming of bivalve mollusks which are constantly subject to chemical and microbiological monitoring to protect the health of consumers. In the winter season, high levels of PAHs were found in mussels from the Lucrino area. This study reports the environmental analyses and the activities carried out in order to investigate the levels and sources of contamination by PAHs.

24. Intraoperative neuromonitoring and mapping during spinal cord untethering surgery; a single-centre paediatric neurosurgery unit experience.

Abstract

Purpose: A review of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and mapping (IONMa) utility during paediatric tethered cord surgery with particular attention to feasibility, measures to prevent injury, and postoperative outcome. Methods: A retrospective analysis of spinal cord untethering surgery between 2015 and 2022 was carried out. Cohort demographics, IONM and IONMa data, and procedural details were summarised and associations between variables explored. Clinical outcome was assessed 3-months post procedure via review of medical records. Results: One hundred and twenty-two patients (median age: 3 years old: IQR: 2–9, 61% female) underwent surgery. The most common diagnosis was thickened filum (n = 59, 48%). Urological dysfunction was the most common presenting complaint (62%). Electromyography (EMG), motor evoked potentials (MEP), somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEP), and bulbocavernosus reflexes (BCR) were successfully recorded in 100%, 99%, 90%, and 73% patients. Unsuccessful BCR monitoring only occurred in females (p < 0.001). The Triggered-EMG protocol identified nerve rootlets adhered to the filum or tethering structure in 16% of the cohort. Alert criteria breaches (> 30–50% reduction in SSEP, > 80% reduction in MEP amplitude, absent BCR) occurred in 13 patients (11%). These alert criteria breaches were reversed in 11 (85%) with no permanent neurological deficits. In 2 (15%), alerts were irreversible, and one developed a permanent neurological deficit. Signs and symptoms of tethered cord had either stabilised (≥ 64%), improved (≥ 20%), or worsened (≤ 4%) at 3-month postoperative review. Conclusion: IONM and IONMa are useful and effective tools in monitoring and identifying neural tissue, which can guide safe cord untethering and lipoma resection. Our results validate IONM and IONMa in surgery for cord untethering. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

A new method for simultaneous determination by liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS/MS) of 14 paralytic shellfish poisoning toxins (PSP), that is, Saxitoxin, Neosaxitoxin, Gonyautoxins and their respective variants, in bivalve molluscs, is herein described. The samples were extracted by acetic acid solution, then analysed by UHPLC coupled with a Q-Exactive Orbitrap Plus high resolution mass spectrometer, by electrospray ionization mode (ESI) with no further clean up step. The analysis was carried out by monitoring both the exact mass of the molecular precursor ion of each compound (in mass scan mode, resolution at 70,000 FWHM) and its respective fragmentation patterns (two product ions) with mass accuracy greater than 5 ppm. The analytical performance of the method was evaluated calculating trueness, as mean recoveries of each biotoxin, between 77.8% and 111.9%, a within-laboratory reproducibility (RSDR) between 3.6% and 12.2%, the specificity, the linearity of detector response, and the ruggedness for slight changes The results of the validation study demonstrate this method fits for the purposes of the official control of PSP toxins in molluscs. The results of two years of monitoring in local mussel farms are also reported, showing that no significant concerns for food safety in the monitored productions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Female sexual function in pregnancy is an under-investigated topic by care providers. This study aimed to investigate the sexual function and the impact of traditional risk factors for pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) during the third trimester of pregnancy. METHODS: This is a secondary analysis of a multicenter cross-sectional study conducted in eight hospitals in Italy and Italian-speaking Switzerland. Women at the third trimester of pregnancy aged 18 years and over completed the Italian- PFQPP questionnaire anonymously. RESULTS: Overall, 927 patients in the third trimester of pregnancy answered the questionnaire. About 29.5% of women reported reduced or absent sexual activity. The less reported symptom was coital incontinence (1.3%), while painful intercourses was the most frequent one (50.3%). Nicotine abuse was associated with traumatic sexual intercourses, impaired vaginal sensibility, and negative impact on sexual life and well-being. Familiarity for pelvic floor disorder resulted as a risk factor for coital incontinence (OR=3.61). CONCLUSIONS: Sexual symptoms, with pain during intercourses being the most widely reported, are extremely common in the third trimester of pregnancy and can greatly affect quality of life. Familiarity for pelvic floor disorders and nicotine abuse resulted as significant risk factors for at least one sexual symptom.
