Abstract

The management of tandem extracranial internal carotid artery and intracranial large vessel occlusion during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been under-investigated. We sought to investigate outcomes of AIS patients with tandem occlusion (TO) treated with carotid artery stenting (CAS) compared to those not treated with CAS (no-CAS) during EVT.We performed a cohort study using data from AIS patients enrolled in the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke. Outcomes were 3 months' mortality, functional outcome, complete and successful recanalization, any intracranial hemorrhage, parenchymal hematoma and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage.Among 466 AIS patients with TO, CAS patients were 122 and no-CAS patients were 226 (118 excluded). After adjustment for unbalanced variables, CAS was associated with a lower rate of 3 months' mortality (OR 0.407, 95% CI 0.171-0.969, p = 0.042). After adjustment for pre-defined variables, CAS was associated with a lower rate of 3 months' mortality (aOR 0.430, 95% CI 0.187-0.989, p = 0.047) and a higher rate of complete recanalization (aOR 1.986, 95% CI 1.121-3.518, p = 0.019), successful recanalization (aOR 2.433, 95% CI 1.263-4.686, p = 0.008) and parenchymal hematoma (aOR 2.876, 95% CI 1.173-7.050, p = 0.021). CAS was associated with lower 3 months mortality (OR 0.373, 95% CI 0.141-0.982, p = 0.046) and higher rates of successful recanalization (OR 2.082, 95% CI 1.099-3.942, p = 0.024) after adjustment for variables associated with 3 months' mortality and successful recanalization, respectively.Among AIS patients with TO, CAS during EVT was associated with a higher rate of successful reperfusion and a lower rate of 3 months' mortality.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stump appendicitis is a rare delayed complication post-appendectomy and it represents a diagnostic problem as clinicians are often not very familiar with this pathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One case of stump appendicitis has been reported in a 54 year old woman, whose acute phase was conservatively treated in our Department. A review of Medline literature was also carried out, from 1945 to 2015, showing 111 cases of stump appendicitis. RESULTS: Stump appendicitis has been reported after either open or laparoscopic appendectomy, in a range between days to several years from the first procedure. Nowadays, it is not considered yet as a possible differential diagnosis in patients with pain in the right iliac fossa previously undergone appendectomy. For this reason, the diagnosis can be delayed and complications such as acute abdomen, perforation, sepsis can occur. Completion appendectomy is the treatment of choice for stump appendicitis. CONCLUSIONS: The aim of this article is to underline the importance of stump appendicitis. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of SA and they should confirm any clinical suspicion throughout radiologic images, in order to promptly recognize this entity and to avoid the related complications.

Abstract

Ecological memory (EM) recognizes the importance of previous stress encounters in promoting community tolerance and thereby enhances ecosystem stability, provided that gained tolerances are preserved during non-stress periods. Drawing from this concept, we hypothesized that the recruitment of tolerant species can be facilitated by imposing an initial sorting process (conditioning) during the early stages of community assembly, which should result in higher production (biomass development and photosynthetic efficiency) and stable community composition. To test this, phytoplankton resting stages were germinated from lake sediments originating from two catchments that differed in contamination history: one impacted by long-term herbicides and pesticides exposures (historically contaminated lake) from an agricultural catchment compared to a low-impacted one (near-pristine lake) from a forested catchment. Conditioning was achieved by adding an herbicide (Isoproturon, which was commonly used in the catchment of the historically contaminated lake) during germination. Afterward, the communities obtained from germination were exposed to an increasing gradient of Isoproturon. As hypothesized, upon conditioning, the phytoplankton assemblages from the historically contaminated lake were able to rapidly restore photosynthetic efficiency (p > 0.01) and became structurally (community composition) more resistant to Isoproturon. The communities of the near-pristine lake did not yield these positive effects regardless of conditioning, supporting that EM was a unique attribute of the historically stressed ecosystem. Moreover, assemblages that displayed higher structural resistance concurrently yielded lower biomass, indicating that benefits of EM in increasing structural stability may trade-off with production. Our results clearly indicate that EM can foster ecosystem stability to a recurring stressor. © 2021, The Author(s).

6. Binding of waterborne pharmaceutical and personal care products to natural dissolved organic matter

Abstract

Information on how key environmental conditions such as natural dissolved organic matter (DOM) and water pH alter the possible risks posed by pharmaceuticals (PPCPs) is still scarce. In our previous study, the presence of natural DOM at high pH reduced the toxicity of a mix of waterborne PPCPs to algae. DOM-complexation and pH effect on speciation of the more hydrophobic and neutral compounds of the mix was suggested to be driving this behaviour. However, the study design did not allow the verification of this hypothesis. Here, the DOM- PPCPs interaction at different pH was investigated for 6 PPCPs through equilibrium dialysis, under the same conditions of DOM and pH as our previous study. Association with DOM was confirmed for the more hydrophobic PPCPs at high pH. The results suggest the binding was driven by i) the presence of carboxylic groups of PPCPs, ii) high pH shifting the structural configuration of DOM, making it more suited to bind some of the PPCPs. A non-linear change of binding capacity with increasing DOM concentration was also observed among the tested PPCPs.

7. Critical assessment of an equilibrium-based method to study the binding of waterborne organic contaminants to natural dissolved organic matter (DOM)

Abstract

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) can play a major role in determining availability of pollutants to aquatic biota. Equilibrium dialysis is the most commonly used method to assess the interaction between DOM and organic contaminants. However, results obtained through this method can be affected by confounding factors linked to the diffusion of DOM through the membrane or the interaction of DOM and/or the compounds with the membrane itself. In this study, we propose an improved experimental approach, where highly hydrophilic cellulose-ester membranes with small molecular cut-off (100–500 Da) were used to overcome some of these hindrances. The performance of the method to determine the binding of a commonly used moderately hydrophobic herbicide (Isoproturon - ISU) with natural DOM was critically evaluated through a set of quality assurance criteria, across a range of DOM concentrations and pH conditions. DOM trans-membrane diffusion was prevented by the smaller pore size of the dialysis membrane. Good measurement reproducibility, mass balance closure, and successful trans-membrane equilibrium of ISU were obtained. ISU showed relatively low affinity with DOM (log KDOC 1–2 L g−1), which was significantly influenced by varying pH and DOM concentration. An alternative membrane may be needed for higher pH conditions as the greater adsorption effect blurred the observation of trans-membrane equilibrium and confounding mass balance closure. The paper makes recommendations on how to avoid measurement artefacts, while considering criteria for the expected mass distribution of compounds at equilibrium and for sorption onto the membrane and surfaces of the experimental units.

10. Water Browning Controls Adaptation and Associated Trade-Offs in Phytoplankton Stressed by Chemical Pollution

Abstract

The acquisition of tolerance to an environmental stressor can result in organisms displaying slower growth after stress release. While well-grounded in the theory, empirical evidence of the trade-off between stress tolerance and organism fitness is scarce and blurred by the interaction with different environmental factors. Here, we report the effects of water browning on the responses, tolerance acquisition, and associated trade-offs in a population of microalgae exposed to sublethal concentrations of organic micropollutants over multiple generations. Our results show that dissolved organic matter (DOM) reduces toxic responses and modulates tolerance acquisition by the algae, possibly by complexing micropollutants. Microalgae that acquire tolerance allocate resources to fitness at the cost of reduced cell size. They yield higher productivity than nonadapted ones when grown in the presence of micropollutants but lower in their absence. The net trade-off was positive, indicating that adaptation can result in a higher productivity and fitness in tolerant species in recurrently stressed environments.

Abstract

Objectives. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is today the "gold standard" treatment of gallbladder stones. Role of LC is still debated in the presence of abdominal scars due to the frequent post-operative adhesions which make access to the peritoneal cavity difficult. This study aim to assess role and outcomes of LC on a previous abdominal surgery on the scarred abdomen. Materials and Methods. we have carried out a retrospective study on 499 consecutive patients who had undergone LC from 2009 to 2015; 21 of these (4.2%) undergone previous abdominal surgery. In all 21 cases the pneumoperitoneum was established with Veress needle at the Palmer's point and the procedure was carried out after adhesiolysis in 62% of cases. Results. the mean operative time was 79±12 minutes; none of the patients with previous abdominal surgery required conversion to open cholecystectomy and there were no postoperative complications related to Veress introduction or to the adhesiolysis. The difficult dissection and adhesiolysis were more frequent in the patients with upper abdomen scar (62%) respect to lower abdomen scar (38%). Conclusion. patients with scarred abdomen for previous abdominal surgery had obviously more adhesions in the abdomen than patients without preceding surgery, but today previous abdominal surgery should not constitutes absolute contraindications to LC. Moreover, patients with previous lower abdominal incisions had fewer adhesions in the upper abdomen than did patients with upper incision and, probably, in these cases adhesiolysis is unnecessary, if the surgical field is well exposed whereas adhesiolysis is mandatory when the adhesions are thick and widespread, to the anterior and posterior abdominal wall.

Abstract

L’ipocalcemia post-operatoria è la più frequente tra le complicanze della chirurgia tiroidea. Si manifesta in un’elevata percentuale di pazienti nel periodo post-operatorio immediato come ipoparatiroidismo transito-rio, e rimane in modo permanente soltanto nei pazienti che hanno subito una paratiroidectomia accidentale durante la tiroidectomia conformando un quadro di vero ipoparatiroidismo. Nella forma definitiva raggiunge un’incidenza compresa tra 0,2 e 32% a seconda del-le casistiche. Il rischio di sviluppare ipocalcemia post-operatoria dipende principalmente dall’indicazione chirurgica (i.e., rischio superiore per malattia di Graves, inferiore in caso di carcinoma tiroideo e di gozzo nodulare) e dalla estensione chirurgica (i.e., inferiore per tiroidectomia totale, superiore per svuotamento linfatico del compartimento centrale e del compartimento laterale). L’approccio terapeutico può essere preventivo, predittivo o reattivo. Quest’ultimo, è il più diffuso e prevede l’intervento solo al manifestarsi della prima ipocalcemia significativa. Il trattamento convenzionale si basa sulla somministrazione di calcio gluconato per via venosa nei casi severi e di somministrazione orale di calcitriolo e di calcio per via orale in casi meno severi e come mantenimento nel post-operatorio tardivo. I diuretici tiazidici, aumentando il riassorbimento renale di calcio, possono essere presi in considerazione come adiuvanti. In quei casi rari dove, nonostante la terapia descritta, continuano a manifestarsi gravi episodi di ipocalcemia ed ipomagnesemia, è disponibile il frammento 1-34 dell’or-mone umano paratiroideo denominato teriparatide, inserito nell’elenco dei medicinali erogabili a totale cari-co del SSN ai sensi della legge 23 dicembre 1996, n. 648 (Determina n. 507 pubblicata sulla G.U. n. 141 del 18/06/2013), quale terapia sostitutiva ormonale per la cura dell’ipoparatiroidismo cronico grave. Presentiamo il caso clinico di una donna di 60 anni, affetta da ipoparatiroidismo cronico grave post-tiroidectomia.

Abstract

Background and Purpose - As a reliable scoring system to detect the risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombectomy for ischemic stroke is not yet available, we developed a nomogram for predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation who received bridging of thrombectomy with intravenous thrombolysis (training set), and to validate the model by using a cohort of patients treated with direct thrombectomy (test set). Methods - We conducted a cohort study on prospectively collected data from 3714 patients enrolled in the IER (Italian Registry of Endovascular Stroke Treatment in Acute Stroke). Symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was defined as any type of intracerebral hemorrhage with increase of ≥4 National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score points from baseline ≤24 hours or death. Based on multivariate logistic models, the nomogram was generated. We assessed the discriminative performance by using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results - National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, onset-to-end procedure time, age, unsuccessful recanalization, and Careggi collateral score composed the IER-SICH nomogram. After removing Careggi collateral score from the first model, a second model including Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score was developed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the IER-SICH nomogram was 0.778 in the training set (n=492) and 0.709 in the test set (n=399). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the second model was 0.733 in the training set (n=988) and 0.685 in the test set (n=779). Conclusions - The IER-SICH nomogram is the first model developed and validated for predicting symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombectomy. It may provide indications on early identification of patients for more or less postprocedural intensive management.

Abstract

Le ulcere da decubito rappresentano una condizione frequente in popolazioni ad alto rischio quali gli anziani e i soggetti con compromissione dell’autonomia funzionale, dall’ipomobilità sino all’allettamento. Esse si con-figurano come un indicatore negativo dell’assistenza sanitaria erogata in quanto potenzialmente prevenibili attraverso l’applicazione di alcune regole fondamentali per la cura e la corretta gestione del paziente non autonomo. L’invecchiamento della popolazione, con il conseguente aumento dei soggetti con deficit funzionali, multimorbilità e comorbilità complesse e, quindi, in ultima analisi, fragili, ha contribuito e continuerà a determinare un aumento dell’incidenza e della prevalenza delle ulcere da pressione. Definire le dimensioni del fenomeno sul piano epidemiologico, tuttavia, è difficile; la stima delle ulcere da decubito, inoltre, varia nei diversi setting assistenziali (reparto per acuti, reparti di area medica o chirurgica, lungodegenza, residenze sanitarie assistenziali). È necessaria una gestione multidisciplinare del fenomeno con particolare attenzione rivolta non solo alla diagnosi e alla cura, ma anche e soprattutto alla prevenzione. Descriviamo il caso di un paziente di sesso maschile, di 66 anni, con ulcera da decubito giunto alla nostra osservazione per la necessità di riattivazione funzionale geriatrica.

Abstract

L’idrocefalo consiste in una dilatazione del sistema ventricolare dovuta ad un disturbo della circolazione liquorale. Nell’anziano l’idrocefalo è di frequente riscontro in associazione a demenza, come forma ex vacuo. L’idrocefalo normoteso colpisce prevalentemente soggetti d’età superiore ai 65 anni con un esordio clinico subdolo, che spesso è causa di ritardo nella diagnosi. Le sindromi neurologiche alterne sono espressione di lesioni di varia natura a carico del tronco encefalico, caratterizzate dalla coesistenza di un deficit neurologico centrale controlaterale alla lesione ed un deficit neurologico periferico omolateralmente alla lesione. Descriviamo il caso di un paziente di sesso maschile, di 72 anni, giunto alla nostra osservazione per episodi ricorrenti di caduta.

Ontogenetic dietary shifts are widespread across the animal kingdom, and often involve associated morphological changes in foraging phenotype. These changes may differ between sexes or vary between individuals, and are important factors in the ecology of species. While such factors have received much attention in terrestrial systems, they are much less well understood in marine taxa. The white shark Carcharodon carcharias is a marine apex predator that is accepted to provide a classic example of an ontogenetic dietary shift, with an associated change in tooth morphology from cuspidate to broad. Our results however, which include measurements obtained using a novel photographic method, reveal significant differences between the sexes in the relationship between tooth cuspidity and shark total length (TL), and a novel ontogenetic change in male tooth shape. Males exhibit broader upper first teeth and increased distal inclination of upper third teeth with increasing length, while females do not present a consistent morphological change. Substantial individual variation, with implications for pace of life syndrome, was present in males, and tooth polymorphism was suggested in females. Sexual differences and individual variation may play major roles in ontogenetic changes in tooth morphology in white sharks, with potential implications for their foraging biology. Such individual and sexual differences should be included in studies of ontogenetic shift dynamics in other species and systems.

Abstract

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) assist other proteins in their folding and drive the degradation of defective proteins. During evolution, these proteins have also acquired other roles. Hsp10 is involved in immunomodulation and tumor progression. Hsp90 stabilizes a range of "client" proteins involved in cell signaling. The present study evaluated the expression levels of Hsp10 and Hsp90 in normal mucosa and adenocarcinoma samples of human large bowel.Samples of normal mucosa and adenocarcinoma were collected and Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction RT-PCR, western blotting (WB) analyses, as well as immunohistochemistry were performed to evaluate the expression levels of Hsp10 and Hsp90.RT-PCR showed a higher gene expression of Hsp10 and Hsp90 in adenocarcinoma samples compared to healthy mucosa. WB results confirmed these findings. Immunohistochemistry revealed higher levels of Hsp10 in adenocarcinoma in both the epithelium and the lamina propria, while Hsp90 expression was higher in the adenocarcinoma samples only in the lamina propria.Hsp10 and Hsp90 may be involved in large bowel carcinogenesis.

Abstract

Background. Stump appendicitis is a rare delayed complication post-appendectomy and it represents a diagnostic problem as clinicians are often not very familiar with this pathology. Materials and Methods. One case of stump appendicitis has been reported in a 54 year old woman, whose acute phase was conservatively treated in our Department. A review of Medline literature was also carried out, from 1945 to 2015, showing 111 cases of stump appendicitis. Results. Stump appendicitis has been reported after either open or laparoscopic appendectomy, in a range between days to several years from the first procedure. Nowadays, it is not considered yet as a possible differential diagnosis in patients with pain in the right iliac fossa previously undergone appendectomy. For this reason, the diagnosis can be delayed and complications such as acute abdomen, perforation, sepsis can occur. Completion appendectomy is the treatment of choice for stump appendicitis. Conclusion. The aim of this article is to underline the importance of stump appendicitis. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of SA and they should confirm any clinical suspicion throughout radiologic images, in order to promptly recognize this entity and to avoid the related complications.

Abstract

A case of congenital toxoplasmosis is reported in which the patient died at 32 days following seizures, coma and respiratory disturbances. Neuropathological examination showed numerous foci of softening throughout the brain. Histological examination disclosed widespread areas of inflammatory necrosis. Circumscribed areas of granulomatous inflammation were also found. Cysts containing a variable number of microorganisms and toxoplasmas free in the damaged areas were frequently observed. Small calcifications were scattered in the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. Electron microscopy of postmortem brain specimens demonstrated toxoplasmas at various stages of development. The microorganism is enveloped by a two-layered membrane, the pellicle. Replication occurs in a vacuole inside the host cell. Following replication the newly formed parasites, the trophozoites, are released. Several replications without release may also occur with consequent cyst formation. The motile form of the toxoplasma, the tachyzoite, is fusiform with truncated cone shape of the anterior ending which is the presenting surface modified for host cell penetration. The modality of transplacental transmission and the clinical syndromes associated with toxoplasma infection are discussed. EM even of post mortem material contributes to knowledge of the structure of the parasite and of its life cycles.

Abstract

Sural or superficial peroneal nerve biopsies of patients with clinical diagnosis of Friedreich's ataxia were studied. Patients were divided in two groups, typical and abortive forms: loss of fibers accompanied by axonal atrophy and segmental demyelination are the basic changes in both groups, although the decrease in number of myelinated fibers was most severe in typical FA. In the cases with slower progression there is a tendency to form onion bulb complexes.
