Abstract

Multiple emitters coherently interacting with an electromagnetic mode give rise to collective effects such as correlated decay and coherent exchange interaction, depending on the separation of the emitters. By diagonalizing the effective non-Hermitian many-body Hamiltonian we reveal the complex-valued eigenvalue spectrum encoding the decay and interaction characteristics. We show that there are significant differences in the emerging effects for an array of interacting anharmonic oscillators compared to those of two-level systems and harmonic oscillators. The bosonic decay rate of the most superradiant state increases linearly as a function of the filling factor and exceeds that of two-level systems in magnitude. Furthermore, with bosonic systems, dark states are formed at each filling factor. These are in strong contrast with two-level systems, where the maximal superradiance is observed at half filling and with larger filling factors superradiance diminishes and no dark states are formed. As an experimentally relevant setup of bosonic waveguide QED, we focus on arrays of transmon devices embedded inside a rectangular waveguide. Specifically, we study the setup of two transmon pairs realized experimentally in M. Zanner et al., arXiv.2106.05623 (2021), and show that it is necessary to consider transmons as bosonic multilevel emitters to accurately recover correct collective effects for the higher excitation manifolds.

Abstract

Abstract In the province of British Columbia, Canada, four of the most severe wildfire seasons of the last century occurred in the past 7 years: 2017, 2018, 2021, and 2023. To investigate trends in wildfire activity and fire-conducive climate, we conducted an analysis of mapped wildfire perimeters and annual climate data for the period of 1919–2021. Results show that after a century-long decline, fire activity increased from 2005 onwards, coinciding with a sharp reversal in the wetting trend of the 20th century. Even as precipitation levels remain high, moisture deficits have increased due to rapid warming and increased evaporative demand. Bottom-up factors further influence fire activity, as the legacy of past wildfires, insect outbreaks, and land-use practices continually influence fire regimes. The compound effects of climate-induced moisture changes and altered fuels now force British Columbians to confront the harsh reality of more frequent years of intense and prolonged wildfire activity.

Abstract

Abstract Although humans have long been predators with enduring nutritive and cultural relationships with their prey, seldom have conservation ecologists considered the divergent predatory behavior of contemporary, industrialized humans. Recognizing that the number, strength and diversity of predator-prey relationships can profoundly influence biodiversity, here we analyze humanity’s modern day predatory interactions with vertebrates and estimate their ecological consequences. Analysing IUCN ‘use and trade’ data for ~47,000 species, we show that fishers, hunters and other animal collectors prey on more than a third (~15,000 species) of Earth’s vertebrates. Assessed over equivalent ranges, humans exploit up to 300 times more species than comparable non-human predators. Exploitation for the pet trade, medicine, and other uses now affects almost as many species as those targeted for food consumption, and almost 40% of exploited species are threatened by human use. Trait space analyses show that birds and mammals threatened by exploitation occupy a disproportionally large and unique region of ecological trait space, now at risk of loss. These patterns suggest far more species are subject to human-imposed ecological (e.g., landscapes of fear) and evolutionary (e.g., harvest selection) processes than previously considered. Moreover, continued overexploitation will likely bear profound consequences for biodiversity and ecosystem function.

10. What Are the Factors Associated With Revision Surgery on the Residual Limb and Functional Results in Patients With Posttraumatic Lower Limb Amputations?

Abstract

Background: Lower limb amputations performed after trauma are associated with a high risk of revision surgery. While the factors influencing revision surgery in the upper limbs have been studied, no studies have analyzed these factors in the lower limbs. Existing explanations for these revision surgeries are unclear, often leaving patients uninformed. Surgeons also lack the tools to explain the factors that influence repeat operations to patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to provide surgeons with some answers so they can inform their patients undergoing posttraumatic lower limb amputation, whether military or civilian., Questions/purposes: (1) What was the survivorship of the initial amputation free from any revision surgery? (2) What patient- and injury-related factors were associated with revision amputation? (3) Do these factors influence functional outcomes in these patients?, Methods: A single-center, retrospective study was conducted between January 2010 and February 2020 on patients who had undergone traumatic lower limb amputation. Between January 2010 and February 2020, 322 patients underwent amputation or were followed up at Percy Military University Hospital. Thirty-one patients had undergone amputation at another center, 178 had undergone amputation for nontraumatic reasons, and 27 patients had only upper limb amputations. Of those remaining, 1 died before 6 months, and 6% (5 of 86) were not fitted with a prosthesis, leaving 99% (85 of 86) for survivorship free from revision analysis and 93% (80 of 86) for functional endpoints analysis in this retrospective study at a median of 6.5 years (IQR 5 to 9) following the index amputation. The median age at the time of amputation was 31 years (IQR 26 to 52), 85% (72 of 85) of patients were men, and 31% (26 of 85) were military personnel. Revision surgery was defined as surgery performed at or after 6 months to ensure that the residual limb was healed and fitted with a prosthesis. Revision procedures performed before 6 months (median 2 [IQR 0 to 7]) were considered as part of the initial residual limb formation surgery. We performed Kaplan-Meier survivorship analysis for the time free from revision amputation from 6 months after amputation. We considered the competitive risk of death using a Fine-Gray model by an ascending stepwise procedure. To answer our third research question, we performed a chart review and assessed patients' use of prostheses and assistive devices and the percentage of patients who returned to work. An ordinal logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing functional outcome using an ascending stepwise procedure., Results: A total of 85 patients (94 limbs) were included, of whom 25 (27 limbs) underwent a revision surgery on the residual limb > 6 months after amputation. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates indicated that 5 years after the initial amputation 64% (95% confidence interval 53% to 77%) of the patients remained free from revision surgery on their residual limb. Factors associated with increased odds of revision amputation were smoking (subdistribution HR 2.6 [95% CI 1.2 to 5.8]; p = 0.02) and an age of > 50 years (subdistribution HR 0.3 [95% CI 0.1 to 0.8]; p = 0.01). Ninety-four percent (80 of 85) of patients were fitted with prostheses, and 40% (32 of 80) of patients used material or human assistance for simple activities of daily living. Seventy-one percent of patients (57 of 80) had returned to work. Ordinal logistic regression revealed an association between preinjury sports activity and the absence of need for assistance in daily activities (OR 9 [95% CI 2.9 to 31.8]; p < 0.001)., Conclusion: Smoking appeared to be an associated risk factor for residual limb revision surgery in posttraumatic lower limb amputations and is potentially modifiable. Being at least 50 years of age seemed to be associated with a lower incidence of revision surgery, which is probably linked to lower functional demands made on limbs beyond this age. Our study showed a remarkable rate of fitting with a prosthetic device, with an improved functional result if the patient was athletic before the trauma. These results provide more precise information on the care pathway to be considered for each patient. A study with a much larger sample would make it possible to assess the risk factors for the occurrence of each complication involving revision surgery., Level of Evidence: Level III, therapeutic study., Competing Interests: Each author certifies that there are no funding or commercial associations (consultancies, stock ownership, equity interest, patent/licensing arrangements, etc.) that might pose a conflict of interest in connection with the submitted article related to the author or any immediate family members.

14. Petrogenesis of a TTG intrusive suite: the La Dauversière pluton, Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada.

Author

Mathieu, L. and Leybourne, M.

Abstract

Insights into the source and partial melting conditions of tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) intrusive suites provide essential constraints on the tectonic regimes prevailing before 2.5 Ga. As case studies on individual suites increase, the TTG group becomes more heterogeneous, offering detailed insights into the evolution of the Archean crust. This study focuses on the La Dauversière pluton, a TTG suite in the Chibougamau area, Abitibi greenstone belt, Canada, to unravel complex differentiation processes in a pluton with a relatively limited volume. According to whole-rock and zircon chemistry, the La Dauversière pluton is a TTG suite that contains less Na and light rare earth elements (LREE) than other TTG suites of the Abitibi greenstone belt. Whole-rock chemistry and melt inclusions in zircon also point to an atypical fractional crystallization process that favors K enrichment, contrasting with the Na enrichment trends observed in most TTG suites globally. Magma hybridization, with late magma pulses interacting with early phases partially crystallized at depth, likely explains the chemistry of the La Dauversière pluton. The source of these magmas differs from the basaltic source that gave rise to most TTG suites of the Abitibi greenstone belt, possibly because older basement occurs in the Chibougamau area and is lacking in the rest of the greenstone belt. The La Dauversière pluton underscores the importance of interpreting the petrogenesis of individual TTG suites before inferring global source processes and geodynamic settings.

20. Treatment of infected humeral shaft nonunion and presumed aseptic nonunion with positive intraoperative cultures: a retrospective single-center study.

Author

Vanpoulle G, Jalaguier T, Druel T, Walch A, Gazarian A, and Mathieu L

Abstract

Purpose: The management of infected humeral shaft nonunion (HSN) remains challenging due to the lack of consensus and the potential for occult infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate a surgical strategy based on a two-stage treatment for suspected infection or a one-stage treatment for infection diagnosed retrospectively based on systematic bacteriological sampling., Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 16 patients with a median age of 36 years who were treated for septic HSN: 9 patients underwent a two-stage procedure using the induced membrane technique, and 7 patients were treated in a single stage. Revision parameters included achieving bone union, its time frame, and a functional assessment based on joint motion and the Quick-DASH score., Results: At a median follow-up of 47.5 months, 12 out of 16 patients were cured with acquired bone union and no septic recurrence. The median time to bone union was 5.5 months. Smoking and previous surgeries were adverse factors for bone healing. Radiological and functional outcomes were comparable between patients treated in a single stage and those treated in two stages., Conclusions: This study confirms the relevance of one-stage surgery for HSN with occult infection and the value of systematic bacteriological sampling during the revision of humeral diaphyseal osteosynthesis., (© 2024.

Abstract

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of distal neurotomy (DN) versus proximal neurotomy (PN) for the surgical management of painful neuromas in amputees and non-amputees, whether used in passive or active treatment., Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent surgery for painful traumatic neuromas between 2019 and 2022. DN with neuroma excision was performed at the level of the injury or amputation. PN was performed using a separate proximal approach without neuroma excision. Outcomes included a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores, as well as patients' subjective assessments., Results: A total of 33 patients were included: 17 amputees and 16 non-amputees. They totalized 43 neuromas treated by DN in 21 cases and PN in 22 cases. At the median follow-up time of 13 months, there were significant decreases in all NRS and PROMIS scores in the whole series. The decrease in limb pain scores was not significantly different between groups, except for the decrease in pain interference and patient satisfaction which were higher in the DN group. Sub-group analyses found the same significant differences in amputees. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) was associated with a higher decrease in PROMIS scores., Conclusion: DN seemed to give better results in amputees but there were confusing factors related to associated lesions. In other situations, the non-inferiority of PN was demonstrated. PN could be of interest for treating neuromas of superficial sensory nerves, for avoiding direct revision of a well-fitted stump and in conjunction with TMR., (© 2024.

Abstract

Introduction: Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) is a surgical option for medial femorotibial osteoarthritis, which preserves articular cartilage by correcting the extra-articular deformities of the lower limbs that cause osteoarthritis. This is an increasingly popular treatment in a population with high functional demand, such as the French military population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of return to work and military activities at 6 months postsurgery and at last follow-up in this military population following MOWHTO.The hypothesis of this study was that MOWHTO enabled a majority of service members to return to the same level of activity within 6 months of surgery., Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective, multicenter study including all French military personnel operated on for MOWHTO alone for osteoarthritis of medial compartment between 2008 and 2018 in different Military Teaching Hospitals. We excluded civilian patients. For each patient, a questionnaire was used to collect epidemiological, professional, sports, and functional data. The primary endpoint was the rate of return to work at 6 months postsurgery. We also studied the recovery of sports activities and functional results at a 6.6-year follow-up by standardized questionnaires (Tegner activity scale, Lysholm, IKDC subjective (International Knee Documentation Commitee))., Results: Twenty-four MOWHTOs were performed during this period in a cohort of 22 French military personnel. Return to work at 6 months was possible in 20/24 cases (83.3%). Of the four patients who did not return to work at 6 months, two changed their activities, while the other two returned to their jobs after 6 months. The rate of resumption of sporting activities at an equal or higher level was 50% (11/22). There was no difference between pre- and postoperative Tegner Activity Scale scores at the longest follow-up (P = .08). The mean postoperative Lysholm scores were 73.5 (standard deviation 17.8) and IKDC 59 (standard deviation 8.7). No intraoperative complications were found, and one case of postoperative infection was found., Conclusions: A total of 83% of the operated soldiers were able to return to their professional activities in less than 6 months. We observed a functional improvement at the last follow-up. Comparing these results with data from civilian populations, the rate of occupational recovery is comparable. However, the return to sport is much better in the series of nonmilitary patients with approximately 90% return to work and sport in the year following surgery. MOWHTO improves the functional results of the knee, enabling a return to work and sport in most cases in young, active populations such as the French military., (© The Association of Military Surgeons of the United States 2024.

Abstract

Introduction: Despite technological advances, the use of homologous blood to prime the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuits of infants under 10 kg remains common. However, such rapid massive transfusion may increase post-CPB morbidity., Method: We retrospectively included consecutive patients weighing 2.3-10 kg who underwent cardiac surgery under CPB. Patients were divided into two groups based on their priming volumes: low priming volume (LPV) (below the median volume) or high priming volume (HPV) (the median volume or above)., Results: The study included 208 patients, of whom 104 had priming volumes below the median [37.9 (28.4-51.7) mL/kg] and 104 had at least the median volume. We recorded positive correlations between the priming volume, on the one hand, and the peak creatinine and CRP levels within 5 days postoperatively, the duration of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, and the mechanical ventilation time, on the other. A relationship was also observed between a higher median priming volume and the need for renal replacement therapy in the ICU and mediastinitis., Conclusion: Although the differences in priming volume between the twogroups were small, they significantly influenced the postoperative complications. Perfusionists should seek to limit the priming volume to reduce the post-CPB inflammatory response, the duration of ICU stay, and possibly the risk of mediastinitis., Competing Interests: Declaration of conflicting interestsThe author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Abstract

Introduction: There are several types of surface treatments (coatings) aimed at improving the biocompatibility of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) circuit. Some coatings appear to require higher doses of heparin to maintain anticoagulation goals, and some of them might induce postoperative coagulopathy. In this study, we compared the amount of heparin required, postoperative bleeding, and inflammatory response according to three types of coatings., Method: We retrospectively included 300 consecutive adult patients who underwent cardiac surgery with CPB and received one of three coatings (Phisio®, Trillium®, and Xcoating™). Our primary objective was to compare, according to coating, the amount of heparin required to maintain an ACT > 400s during CPB. Our secondary objectives were to compare postoperative bleeding for 48 h and CRP rate., Results: Baseline characteristics were comparable between groups except for age and preoperative CRP. We did not find a significant difference between the 3 coatings regarding the amount of heparin reinjected. However, we found less postoperative bleeding with the Xcoating™ circuit compared to the Phisio® circuit (-149 mL [-289; -26.5]; p = 0.02) and a lower elevation of CRP with the Phisio® circuit (2.8 times higher than preoperative CRP) compared to Trillium® (4.9 times higher) and Xcoating™ (6.4 times higher); p < 10 -3 ., Conclusion: The choice of coating did not influence the amount of heparin required during CPB; however, the post-CPB inflammatory syndrome may be impacted by this choice., Competing Interests: Declaration of conflicting interestsThe author(s) declared no potential conflicts of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article.

Abstract

Introduction: Immune checkpoint inhibitors-induced inflammatory arthritis (ICI-IA) affects about 5% of ICI recipients. We aimed 1) to characterize the resolution of ICI-IA during ICI treatment and after ICI discontinuation and 2) to assess how ICI-IA influences ICI management across time., Methods: All ICI-treated patients referred to rheumatology at Bordeaux University Hospital were identified and patients with ICI-IA with a follow-up of ≥ 6 months after ICI-IA onset were included. Resolution of ICI-IA was defined by discontinuation of ICI-IA medications without recurrence of ICI-IA symptoms., Results: Resolution of ICI-IA occurred in 13 of 80 patients (16%) while maintaining active ICI treatment, mainly in patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR)-like clinical presentation (p=0.03). Synovitis was more frequent in those whose ICI-IA persisted throughout ICI treatment. In patients with persistent ICI-IA throughout ICI treatment, 34 (50%) and 47 (70%) resolved at 6- and 12-months post ICI discontinuation, respectively. Reason for terminating ICI was more frequently cancer stable or in remission in those who still had active ICI-IA at 6- and 12- months post ICI discontinuation. Both progression-free survival and overall survival were longer in the groups with active ICI-IA at 6- and 12-months after ICI discontinuation., Discussion: In this cohort, ICI was safely continued in most patients experiencing ICI-IA. About one sixth of ICI-IA resolved despite maintaining active ICI treatment and allowing ICI-IA treatment discontinuation without recurrence of symptoms, mainly in those with PMR-like presentation. Larger studies are needed to determine predicting factors of resolving ICI-IA to minimize exposure to immunosuppressive treatment., (Copyright © 2024 Société française de rhumatologie.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the maximum loss of median and ulnar nerve substances that can be treated by direct suture in elbow flexion and to quantify this elbow flexion. The other objective is to determine the participation of the wrist position in this direct suture in elbow flexion., Methods: We performed an experimental study on 6 ulnar nerve lesions and 6 median nerve lesions. For each defect, a direct tensionless suture was performed with elbow flexion and in three different positions of the wrist (wrist extension, neutral position, and wrist flexion)., Results: A 90° elbow flexion allowed direct suturing of defects up to 40 mm in the 3 positions of the wrist. A bowstringing effect (i.e., increase of the perpendicular distance of the nerve from the axis of rotation of the elbow) was noted starting from 25 mm of nerve defect. Wrist extension placed tension on the nerve suture for both nerves., Conclusions: The results of this first anatomical study clarified the conditions for direct suturing of ulnar and median nerve defects in the flexed elbow position and flexed wrist position. This is an approach to consider for limited nerve defects to the elbow or when allograft harvesting is to be avoided., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

Abstract

Depression was already a public health issue before the Covid-19 pandemic. Use of service and treatment adequacy in medical students was poorly known. A 2021 French national study found the prevalence of 12-month major depressive disorder (MDD) was 25 % in medical school students and residents (MSSR). The main objective of our study was to measure the prevalence of service use and adequate treatment (therapy and/or recommended pharmacotherapy) and their associated factors. A national online survey was conducted in 2021. The Composite International Diagnostic Interview Short-Form questionnaire was used to assess MDD; 12-months service use and pharmacotherapy were assessed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were performed between students' demographic characteristics, use of services, and treatment adequacy. Among included MSSR who experienced MDD in the last 12 months, only 32 % received adequate treatment, including 20 % with recommended pharmacotherapy. Being more advanced in medical studies and being treated both by a general practitioner and a psychiatrist were associated with receiving recommended pharmacotherapy. To our knowledge, our study is the largest to assess use of service and treatment adequacy in MSSR. Given the low percentage of depressed students receiving recommended treatment, it seems important to develop new interventions to better detect and treat MDD in MSSR., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: Y.M. received funding from the University of Paris Nanterre, Inserm, GHU Sainte-Anne, Fondation de France, Fondation Pierre Deniker.

Abstract

In nuclear reactors operating in nominal conditions, delayed neutrons (DN) drive the kinetic behavior of the neutron population. Predicting this behavior requires therefore the knowledge of the DN yield per fission, average lifetime, and kinetic of their emission, which is described by precursors groups abundances. Characterizing the uncertainties of these macroscopic data is essential, especially as they are used to design the safety margins of reactors. Even for major fissile isotopes such as 235U and 239Pu, discrepancies still appear between the main nuclear data library. In 2018, CEA launched the ALDEN project (Average Lifetime of DElayed Neutrons), gathering several laboratories (CEA/DES and DRF, CNRS/LPSC, LP2i and LPC Caen, ENSICAEN, and University of Caen). This collaboration aims at producing new precise DN macroscopic data for reactor applications. Three experimental campaigns were conducted in 2018, 2019 and 2021 on the thermal fission of 233U, 235U and 239Pu at Institut Laue Langevin in Grenoble (France), giving high quality results. In February 2023, a new campaign was performed at the PTB Ion Accelerator Facility in Braunschweig (Germany), focusing on the fast fission of 238U. In particular, the DN yield was measured for eight energies between 1.5 and 19 MeV. This paper presents the experimental setup, that was adapted to the new facility and neutron spectrum. The methodology of analysis is also detailed, and some preliminary delayed neutron decay curves are showed.

Abstract

Raman spectroscopy provides label‐free, specific analysis of biomolecular structure and interactions. It could have a greater impact with improved characterization of complex fingerprint vibrations. Many Raman peaks have been assigned to cholesterol, for example, but the molecular vibrations associated with those peaks are not known. In this report, time‐dependent density functional theory calculations of the Raman spectrum of cholesterol are compared to measurements on microcrystalline powder to identify 23 peaks in the Raman spectrum. Among them, a band of six peaks is found to be sensitive to the conformational structure of cholesterol's iso‐octyl chain. Calculations on 10 conformers in this spectral band are fit to experimental spectra to probe the cholesterol chain structure in purified powder and in phospholipid vesicles. In vesicles, the chain is found to bend perpendicular to the steroid rings, supporting the case that the chain is a dynamic structure that contributes to lipid condensation and other effects of cholesterol in biomembranes. Statement of Significance: Here we use density functional theory to identify a band of six peaks in cholesterol's Raman spectrum that is sensitive to the conformational structure of cholesterol's chain. Raman spectra were analyzed to show that in fluid‐phase lipid membranes, about half of the cholesterol chains point perpendicular to the steroid rings. This new method of label‐free structural analysis could make significant contributions to our understanding of cholesterol's critical role in biomembrane structure and function. More broadly, the results show that computational quantum chemistry Raman spectroscopy can make significant new contributions to molecular structure when spectra are interpreted with computational quantum chemistry.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyse extremity combat-related injuries (CRIs) and non-combat related injuries (NCRIs) treated in the French Forward Surgical Team deployed in Gao, Mali., Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted using the French surgical database OpEX (French Military Health Service) from January 2013 to August 2022. Patients operated on for an extremity injury less than one month old were included., Results: During this period, 418 patients with a median age of 28 years [range 23-31 years] were included and totalized 525 extremity injuries. Among them, 190 (45.5%) sustained CRIs and 218 (54.5%) sustained NCRIs. Multiple upper extremity injuries and associated injuries were significantly more common in the CRIs group. The majority of NCRIs involved the hand. Debridement was the most common procedure in both groups. External fixation, primary amputation, debridement, delayed primary closure, vascular repair and fasciotomy were significantly predominant in the CRIs group. Internal fracture fixation and reduction under anaesthesia were statistically more frequent in the NCRIs group. The overall number of procedures and the overall number of surgical episodes were significantly higher in the CRIs group., Conclusion: CRIs were the most severe injuries and did not involve the upper and lower limbs separately. A sequential management was required with application of damage control orthopaedics followed by several procedures for reconstruction. NCRIs were predominant and mostly involved the hand among the French soldiers. This review supports the fact that any deployed orthopaedic surgeon should be trained in basic hand surgery and preferably have microsurgical skills. The management of local patients requires the execution of reconstructive surgery and therefore imposes the presence of adequate equipment., (© 2023.

Abstract

Aims Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease associated with high mortality and morbidity worldwide. We sought to determine how socioeconomic factors might influence its epidemiology, clinical presentation, investigation and management, and outcome, in a large international multicentre registry. Methods and results The EurObservational Programme (EORP) of the European Society of Cardiology EURO-ENDO (European Infective Endocarditis) registry comprises a prospective cohort of 3113 adult patients admitted for IE in 156 hospitals in 40 countries between January 2016 and March 2018. Patients were separated in three groups, according to World Bank economic stratification [group 1: high income (75.6%); group 2: upper-middle income (15.4%); group 3: lower-middle income (9.1%)]. Group 3 patients were younger [median age (interquartile range, IQR): group 1, 66 (53-75) years; group 2, 57 (41-68) years; group 3, 33 (26-43) years; P < 0.001] with a higher frequency of smokers, intravenous drug use, and human immunodeficiency virus infection (all P < 0.001) and presented later [median (IQR) days since symptom onset: group 1, 12 (3-35); group 2, 19 (6-54); group 3, 31 (12-62); P < 0.001] with a higher likelihood of developing congestive heart failure (13.6%, 11.1%, and 22.6%, respectively; P < 0.001) and persistent fever (9.8%, 14.2%, and 27.9%, respectively; P < 0.001). Among 2157 (69.3%) patients with theoretical indication for cardiac surgery, surgery was performed less frequently in group 3 patients (75.5%, 76.8%, and 51.3%, respectively; P < 0.001), who also demonstrated the highest mortality (15.0%, 23.0%, and 23.7%, respectively; P < 0.001). Conclusion Socioeconomic factors influence the clinical profile of patients presenting with IE across the world. Despite younger age, patients from the poorest countries presented with more frequent complications and higher mortality associated with delayed diagnosis and lower use of surgery.

Abstract

Purpose: Soft tissue coverage of the posterior aspect of the elbow requires thin and flexible flaps to adapt to movements without constraining them. The authors report a clinical series of reconstruction by the descending superficial radial artery (DSRA) flap, a proximal forearm perforator flap which use is rarely reported in the literature., Methods: Seven patients with a mean age of 50 years (range 24-88 years) were treated for a posterior elbow defect using the DSRA flap with an adipofascial pedicle. The flap was tunneled to the defect in the subcutaneous tissue or raised using the racket-like technique to avoid any pedicle compression., Results: The mean follow-up was 3.3 months (range 1-12 months). A partial necrosis of the skin paddle occurred in an 88-year-old patient. In the other cases, the flap evolution was straightforward. At the last follow-up, the appearance of the flaps was satisfactory in terms of color, texture, and thickness. No complications were observed at the donor site., Conclusion: The DSRA flap with an adipofascial pedicle is a simple, reliable, and reproducible method for reconstruction of small to moderate-sized defect on the posterior aspect of the elbow. Its use is easier for defects on the posterolateral side, but it can reach the medial olecranon., (© 2024. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany.)

Abstract

Plants interact with each other via a multitude of processes among which belowground communication facilitated by specialized metabolites plays an important but overlooked role. Until now, the exact targets, modes of action, and resulting phenotypes that these metabolites induce in neighboring plants have remained largely unknown. Moreover, positive interactions driven by the release of root exudates are prevalent in both natural field conditions and controlled laboratory environments. In particular, intraspecific positive interactions suggest a genotypic recognition mechanism in addition to non-self perception in plant roots. This review concentrates on recent discoveries regarding how plants interact with one another through belowground signals in intra- and interspecific mixtures. Furthermore, we elaborate on how an enhanced understanding of these interactions can propel the field of agroecology forward., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract

Plasmodium parasites, the causal agents of malaria, are eukaryotic organisms that obligately undergo sexual recombination within mosquitoes. In low transmission settings, parasites recombine with themselves, and the clonal lineage is propagated rather than broken up by outcrossing. We investigated whether stochastic/neutral factors drive the persistence and abundance of Plasmodium falciparum clonal lineages in Guyana, a country with relatively low malaria transmission, but the only setting in the Americas in which an important artemisinin resistance mutation (pfk13 C580Y) has been observed. We performed whole genome sequencing on 1,727 Plasmodium falciparum samples collected from infected patients across a five-year period (2016-2021). We characterized the relatedness between each pair of monoclonal infections (n = 1,409) through estimation of identity-by-descent (IBD) and also typed each sample for known or candidate drug resistance mutations. A total of 160 multi-isolate clones (mean IBD ≥ 0.90) were circulating in Guyana during the study period, comprising 13 highly related clusters (mean IBD ≥ 0.40). In the five-year study period, we observed a decrease in frequency of a mutation associated with artemisinin partner drug (piperaquine) resistance (pfcrt C350R) and limited co-occurence of pfcrt C350R with duplications of plasmepsin 2/3, an epistatic interaction associated with piperaquine resistance. We additionally observed 61 nonsynonymous substitutions that increased markedly in frequency over the study period as well as a novel pfk13 mutation (G718S). However, P. falciparum clonal dynamics in Guyana appear to be largely driven by stochastic factors, in contrast to other geographic regions, given that clones carrying drug resistance polymorphisms do not demonstrate enhanced persistence or higher abundance than clones carrying polymorphisms of comparable frequency that are unrelated to resistance. The use of multiple artemisinin combination therapies in Guyana may have contributed to the disappearance of the pfk13 C580Y mutation., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2024 Vanhove et al.

Abstract

Management of neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) remains a clinical priority to improve patients’ quality of life and prevent dramatic urological complications. Intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT/A1, botulinum neurotoxin A1) is approved as second therapeutic line in these patients, demonstrating a good efficacy. However, a loss of its efficacy over time has been described, with no clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms. This paper aims at shedding new light on BoNT/A1 secondary failure in NDO through functional and structural analysis. Three groups of patients (either non-NDO, NDO with no toxin history or toxin secondary failure) were investigated using an ex vivo bladder strip assay. Detrusor strips were tensed in organ baths and submitted to electrical field stimulation to generate contractions. Recombinant BoNT/A1 was then added at various concentrations and contractions recorded for 4 h. Histology exploring BoNT/A1 targets, fibrosis and neuronal markers was also used. Detrusor strips from patients with BoNT/A1 secondary failure displayed a smaller sensitivity to toxin ex vivo at 3 nM compared to the other groups. Histological evaluation demonstrated the presence of cleaved Synaptosomal-Associated Protein, 25 kDa (c-SNAP25) in the detrusor from the toxin-secondary failure population, indicating some remaining in vivo sensitivity to BoNT/A1 despite the therapeutic escape. Moreover, residual c-SNAP25 did not affect parasympathetic-driven contractions observed ex vivo. This study confirms the slightly lower efficacy of BoNT/A1 in the BoNT/A1 secondary failure NDO group, suggesting that the escape from BoNT/A1 efficacy in NDO occurs at least at the parasympathetic level and could imply compensatory mechanisms for detrusor contraction.

Abstract

Purpose: High mortality and a limited performance of valvular surgery are typical features of infective endocarditis (IE) in octogenarians, even though surgical treatment is a major determinant of a successful outcome in IE. Methods: Data from the prospective multicentre ESC EORP EURO-ENDO registry were used to assess the prognostic role of valvular surgery depending on age. Results: As compared to < 80yo patients, ≥ 80yo had lower rates of theoretical indication for valvular surgery (49.1% vs. 60.3%, p < 0.001), of surgery performed (37.0% vs. 75.5%, p < 0.001), and a higher in-hospital (25.9% vs. 15.8%, p < 0.001) and 1-year mortality (41.3% vs. 22.2%, p < 0.001). By multivariable analysis, age per se was not predictive of 1-year mortality, but lack of surgical procedures when indicated was strongly predictive (HR 2.98 [2.43–3.66]). By propensity analysis, 304 ≥ 80yo were matched to 608 < 80yo patients. Propensity analysis confirmed the lower rate of indication for valvular surgery (51.3% vs. 57.2%, p = 0.031) and of surgery performed (35.3% vs. 68.4%, p < 0.0001) in ≥ 80yo. Overall mortality remained higher in ≥ 80yo (in-hospital: HR 1.50[1.06–2.13], p = 0.0210; 1-yr: HR 1.58[1.21–2.05], p = 0.0006), but was not different from that of < 80yo among those who had surgery (in-hospital: 19.7% vs. 20.0%, p = 0.4236; 1-year: 27.3% vs. 25.5%, p = 0.7176). Conclusion: Although mortality rates are consistently higher in ≥ 80yo patients than in < 80yo patients in the general population, mortality of surgery in ≥ 80yo is similar to < 80yo after matching patients. These results confirm the importance of a better recognition of surgical indication and of an increased performance of surgery in ≥ 80yo patients.

Abstract

Background: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is a standard of care for hypercapnic chronic respiratory failure (CRF). Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) frequently contributes to hypoventilation in CRF patients. CPAP improves hypercapnia in selected COPD and obese patients, like NIV. We aimed to describe the profile of patients switching from NIV to CPAP in a cohort of patients on long-term ventilation and to identify the factors associated with a successful switch., Methods: In this case-control study, 88 consecutive patients who were candidates for a NIV-CPAP switch were compared with 266 controls among 394 ventilated patients treated at the Dijon University Hospital between 2015 and 2020. They followed a standardized protocol including a poly(somno)graphy recorded after NIV withdrawal for three nights. CPAP trial was performed if severe OSA was confirmed. Patients were checked for recurrent hypoventilation after 1 and 23[14-46] nights under CPAP., Results: Patients were 53% males, median age 65 [56-74] years, and median BMI 34 [25-38.5] kg/m 2 . Sixty four percent of patients were safely switched and remained on long-term CPAP. In multivariate analysis, the probability of a NIV-CPAP switch was correlated to older age (OR: 1.3 [1.01-1.06]), BMI (OR: 1.7 [1.03-1.12]), CRF etiology (OR for COPD: 20.37 [4.2-98,72], OR for obesity: 7.31 [1.58-33.74]), circumstances of NIV initiation (OR for acute exacerbation: 11.64 [2.03-66.62]), lower pressure support (OR: 0.90 [0.73-0.92]), lower baseline PaCO 2 (OR: 0.85 [0.80-0.91]) and lower compliance (OR: 0.76 [0.64-0.90]). Among 72 patients who went home under CPAP, pressure support level was the only factor associated with the outcome of the NIV-CPAP switch, even after adjustment for BMI and age ( p = 0.01 ) with a non-linear correlation. Etiology of chronic respiratory failure, age, BMI, baseline PaCO 2 , circumstances of NIV initiation, time under home NIV or NIV compliance were not predictive of the outcome of the NIV-CPAP switch., Conclusions: A NIV-CPAP switch is possible in real life conditions in stable obese and COPD patients with underlying OSA., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: Marjolaine Georges reports a relationship with ResMed that includes: paid expert testimony.

Abstract

Multipartite viruses exhibit a fragmented genome composed of several nucleic acid segments individually packaged in distinct viral particles. The genome of all species of the genus Nanovirus holds eight segments, which accumulate at a very specific and reproducible relative frequency in the host plant tissues. In a given host species, the steady state pattern of the segments' relative frequencies is designated the genome formula and is thought to have an adaptive function through the modulation of gene expression. Nanoviruses are aphid-transmitted circulative non-propagative viruses, meaning that the virus particles are internalized into the midgut cells, transferred to the hemolymph, and then to the saliva, with no replication during this transit. Unexpectedly, a previous study on the faba bean necrotic stunt virus revealed that the genome formula changes after ingestion by aphids. We investigate here the possible mechanism inducing this change by first comparing the relative segment frequencies in different compartments of the aphid. We show that changes occur both in the midgut lumen and in the secreted saliva but not in the gut, salivary gland, or hemolymph. We further establish that the viral particles differentially resist physicochemical variations, in particular pH, ionic strength, and/or type of salt, depending on the encapsidated segment. We thus propose that the replication-independent genome formula changes within aphids are not adaptive, contrary to changes occurring in plants, and most likely reflect a fortuitous differential degradation of virus particles containing distinct segments when passing into extra-cellular media such as gastric fluid or saliva., Importance: The genome of multipartite viruses is composed of several segments individually packaged into distinct viral particles. Each segment accumulates at a specific frequency that depends on the host plant species and regulates gene expression. Intriguingly, the relative frequencies of the genome segments also change when the octopartite faba bean necrotic stunt virus (FBNSV) is ingested by aphid vectors, despite the present view that this virus travels through the aphid gut and salivary glands without replicating. By monitoring the genomic composition of FBNSV populations during the transit in aphids, we demonstrate here that the changes take place extracellularly in the gut lumen and in the saliva. We further show that physicochemical factors induce differential degradation of viral particles depending on the encapsidated segment. We propose that the replication-independent changes within the insect vector are not adaptive and result from the differential stability of virus particles containing distinct segments according to environmental parameters., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

48. Growth dynamic of biofilm-associated Naegleria fowleri in freshwater on various materials.

Abstract

In industrial water systems, the occurrence of biofilm-associated pathogenic free-living amoebae (FLA) such as Naegleria fowleri is a potential hygienic problem, and factors associated with its occurrence remain poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of four cooling circuit materials on the growth of N. fowleri in a freshwater biofilm formed at 42°C and under a hydrodynamic shear rate of 17 s -1 (laminar flow): polyvinyl chloride, stainless steel, brass, and titanium. Colonization of the freshwater biofilms by N. fowleri was found to be effective on polyvinyl chloride, stainless steel, and titanium. For these three materials, the ratio of (bacterial prey)/(amoeba) was found to control the growth of N. fowleri . All materials taken together, a maximum specific growth rate of 0.18 ± 0.07 h -1 was associated with a generation time of ~4 h. In contrast, no significant colonization of N. fowleri was found on brass. Therefore, the contribution of copper is strongly suspected., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2024 Goudot, Mathieu, Herbelin, Soreau and Jorand.)

Abstract

The upscaling of biphasic photochemical reactions is challenging because of the inherent constraints of liquid-gas mixing and light penetration. Using semi-permeable coaxial flow chemistry within a modular photoreactor, the photooxidation of the platform chemical furfural was scaled up to produce routinely 29 gram per day of biobased building block hydroxybutenolide, a precursor to acrylate alternatives.

Abstract

In nuclear reactors operating in nominal conditions, delayed neutrons (DN) drive the kinetic behavior of the neutron population. Predicting this behavior requires therefore the knowledge of the DN yield per fission, average lifetime, and kinetic of their emission, which is described by precursors groups abundances. Characterizing the uncertainties of these macroscopic data is essential, especially as they are used to design the safety margins of reactors. Even for major fissile isotopes such as 235U and 239Pu, discrepancies still appear between the main nuclear data library. In 2018, CEA launched the ALDEN project (Average Lifetime of DElayed Neutrons), gathering several laboratories (CEA/DES and DRF, CNRS/LPSC, LP2i and LPC Caen, ENSICAEN, and University of Caen). This collaboration aims at producing new precise DN macroscopic data for reactor applications. Three experimental campaigns were conducted in 2018, 2019 and 2021 on the thermal fission of 233U, 235U and 239Pu at Institut Laue Langevin in Grenoble (France), giving high quality results. In February 2023, a new campaign was performed at the PTB Ion Accelerator Facility in Braunschweig (Germany), focusing on the fast fission of 238U. In particular, the DN yield was measured for eight energies between 1.5 and 19 MeV. This paper presents the experimental setup, that was adapted to the new facility and neutron spectrum. The methodology of analysis is also detailed, and some preliminary delayed neutron decay curves are showed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
