Abstract

This work describes the design of an algorithm for detecting apnea episodes, based on analysis of thorax respiratory effort signal. Inspiration and expiration time, and range amplitude of respiratory cycle were evaluated. For range analysis the standard deviation statistical tool was used over respiratory signal temporal windows. The validity of its performance was carried out in 8 records of Apnea-ECG database that has annotations of apnea episodes. The results are: sensitivity (Se) 73%, specificity (Sp) 83%. These values can be improving eliminating artifact of signal records.

Abstract

Mediterranean type ecosystems (MTE) are suffering from human disturbance, land use changes and climate change. Given such a scenario, actions to monitor mass and energy fluxes are a priority. The possibility to assess C-fluxes depends on the capacity to scale up observations, made with eddy correlation (EC) ground stations, to the landscape or regional scale. MTEs are mosaics of different land use types and up-scaling can only be obtained by the integration of approaches ranging from ecosystem physiology to remote sensing and modelling. In the last few years new methods have been considered, including boundary layer (CBL) budgeting and the use of instrumented aircraft. More recently the idea developed to use a small island (SI) as a model system. SI provide an analogue for the main land and a unique opportunity to work on systems with little external disturbance and to measure atmospheric profiles easily. EC C-fluxes can be combined with atmospheric budgeting methods and aircraft measurements as, under conditions of relatively constant and unidirectional wind, it is reasonable to expect significant differences in the atmospheric CO2 profiles measured at the upwind and the downwind side of a SI. Perturbation in CO2 concentrations caused by vegetation activity are therefore likely to be observed as CO2 depletion or enrichment of the air that passed over the island. Finally, differences in vertical profiles must reflect the sum of the individual contributions of the different land patches. In the spring of 2002 PianosaLab, a multidisciplinary project, started continuous monitoring of C and water fluxes by means of an eddy covariance (EC) tower placed in the centre of the island. To validate and extend EC data, an atmospheric profiling system was devised, aimed at calculating C budget by applying the mass balance concept - on the basis of wind, CO2 and H2O profiles. The set-up consisted in a 12 m high pneumatic mast - for measurements at 3, 6 and 12 m - and an 8 m3 tethered balloon for heights up to 125 m, which is typically outside the CBL of the island. Preliminary results from CBL budgets are reported and comparisons are made with EC C fluxes during late spring and summer.

6. The biometeorology laboratory of CNR ISAFOM

Author

Magliulo V., R. Dell'Aquila, P. Di Tommasi, and T. Bertolini

Abstract

The biometeorology laboratory of the CNR ISAFOM has an established expertise into devising measuring apparatus aimed at applications in ecophysiology and micrometeorology of crop and forest systems. The activity is carried out in the main lab, in the adjacent open terrace and in the hardware shop one level below. Experimental apparatus are assembled in the lab and occasionally in the hardware shop, then tested in the terrace or garden. Remote link connections allow for real time monitoring of the instrumentation under test by means of acquisition devices placed inside. The actual experimental use of the instrumentation - after passing functional trials - is inside the laboratory, or rather in the experimental fields of ISAFOM and on forest or agricultural sites belonging to private farms or public institutions. The main lab is L-shaped and it is organized into two functional areas. In the micrometeorology area, it is carried out: assembling of experimental devices, calibration of sensors, functional and quality checks of set-ups aimed at logging of environmental data; chemicals are stored in this area; it is connected to the terrace and the backyard by means of data transmission lines. Includes a control area, equipped with a PC connected to data acquisition devices - dataloggers, scale, gas exchange apparatus etc. - via serial or Ethernet lines. In the agronomy and ecophysiology area the following activities are carried out: growth of potted plants; assembling, calibration, functional checks of devices for gas exchange and water relation measurements. It is equipped with a mini-phytotron and includes an area for biometric (dry matter and leaf area) and ecophysiological determinations (leaf and canopy gas exchange, xylem potential etc.). The station for technical gas management - typically N2, N20, CO2, dry air, certified tanks - is sited in this area. A bench is dedicated to soil related activities (TDR, soil respiration, soil temperature, soil heat flux etc.). Some among the most meaningful devices realized are briefly decribed.

9. Use of the or decay mode to distinguish an intermediate mass Higgs boson from a technipion

Abstract

A technipion and an elementary Higgs particle with a mass greater than about 10 GeV can always be distinguished by a 10–20% accuracy measurement of the full sequential decay correlation function I(E1, E2, cos ψ12) = S + γCPD in the Higgs/technipion rest frame for a decay mode such as τ τ with τ ± → l ± ν ν or t t with t → bμ+ν, t → b μ − ν , where E1,2 are the charged lepton energies and ψ12 is the angle between the charged lepton momenta. For the charged leptons back-to-back, in the extreme relativistic scaling limit D/S ≅ 21% for E1 = E2 ≅ (Emax/2), whereas for MH = 70 GeV already D/S ≅ 19% so the scaling limit is rapidly reached. If for the t t mode the b jets′ momenta are also measured, then a correlation function in t quark rest frames′ helicity angles and energies can be used instead to determine γCP but from a much smaller number of events. This procedure is possible because the standard ν ν correlation function is symmetric in the azimuthal angle φ ν ν , so cos φ ν ν and the helicity polar angles θν and θ ν of the missing and antineutrino are measurable in spite of a two-fold kinematic ambiguity in the t and t momenta directions. If the top quark has a mass mt ≥ 100 GeV, the t t mode with t → bW+, t → b W − can be used to determine γCP by measuring the two b jets′ momenta.

Abstract

For spin- 0 decay into τ+τ− yielding an observable lepton pair l1l2 from τ ± → l ± ν ν , the full sequential decay correlation function I(E1, E2, cos ψ12) = S + γCPD in the Higgs/technipion rest frame is obtained analytically for massless final leptons where ψ12 is the angle between the l1 and l2 momenta. For fixed ψ12, contour plots of this decay correlation function for MH = 9 GeV show that there is about a 10% difference between γCP = ±. In the near non-relativistic limit where MH ≅ 2mτ the γCP signature is a much larger effect, |D/S| is roughly ∼ 50%. In contrast, the energy correlation function I(E1, E2) does not depend on γCP.

Abstract

Multigene panels can analyze high and moderate/intermediate penetrance genes that predispose to breast cancer (BC), providing an opportunity to identify at-risk individuals within affected families. However, considering the complexity of different pathogenic variants and correlated clinical manifestations, a multidisciplinary team is needed to effectively manage BC. A classification of pathogenic variants included in multigene panels was presented in this narrative review to evaluate their clinical utility in BC. Clinical management was discussed for each category and focused on BC, including available evidence regarding the multidisciplinary and integrated management of patients with BC. The integration of both genetic testing and counseling is required for customized decisions in therapeutic strategies and preventative initiatives, as well as for a defined multidisciplinary approach, considering the continuous evolution of guidelines and research in the field., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest no conflict, (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract

Background: In Italy, few studies have examined the clinical management of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, resulting in a lack of information and awareness., Methods: A total of 378 PD patients (64.7 ± 14.3 years, 58.9% males) were enrolled across 15 centres in a 12-month retrospective and 6-month prospective study. The primary objective was to evaluate the achievement of Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative and Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes guidelines on recommended target values for anaemia, high blood pressure and mineral metabolism. Comorbidities, hospitalizations, treatment and quality of life were also assessed., Results: Frequent comorbidities included hypertension (87.8%) and cardiovascular disease (39.7%). Peritonitis was the leading cause of hospitalization [12 admissions per 100 person-years (95% confidence interval 9.3-15.2)]. At 6 months, anaemia corrected by erythropoiesis-stimulating agents was observed in 30% of patients and 73% received erythropoiesis-stimulating agents. Systolic and diastolic blood pressures were recorded in 50% and 20% of patients, respectively. Sixty-four percent of echocardiograms revealed left ventricular hypertrophy and 30% of patients had vitamin D <10 ng/mL. Medication to treat intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) included calcitriol (36.3%), paricalcitol (29.2%), cholecalciferol (23.6%) and cinacalcet (21.5%). In a subgroup of patients matched for baseline PTH treated for 1 year, a significant reduction in PTH with paricalcitol (-41%; P < 0.001) but not cinacalcet (+2%; P = 0.63) was observed. Comparison of quality of life domains revealed significant differences for symptoms (P = 0.049), cognitive function (P = 0.019) and social support (P = 0.04) (baseline versus 6 months)., Conclusions: Hypertension and cardiovascular diseases were frequent comorbidities and peritonitis was the leading cause of hospitalization. Secondary hyperparathyroidism and anaemia were common, thus necessitating frequent monitoring of PTH, calcium, phosphorus and haemoglobin.

The results obtained from the positioning and management of the catheter for peritoneal dialysis depend on the techniques used, but also and above all, on the experience of the practitioners. A comparison between practitioners may help to change their convictions, as well as to further improve results, in the interests of patient welfare. This is the aim of these Best Practice Guidelines..

Abstract

In patients without functioning kidneys, alkali replenishment is accomplished by the addition, via dialysis solution, of either HCO 3 - itself or a metabolic precursor of this anion, such as lactate. The body base balance in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients is self-regulated by the feedback between plasma bicarbonate concentration and dialytic base gain. Dialytic base gain is the only source of buffer for PD patients and this gain should counteract the metabolic acid production. Dialytic base gain depends on peritoneal buffer fluxes (lactate reabsorption minus bicarbonate lost). The plasma bicarbonate level is determined by the dialytic base gain and the metabolic acid production. Bicarbonate buffered PD solution provides some advantages over the conventional lactate buffered PD solution.

Abstract

Dent's disease (DD) involves nephrocalcinosis, urolithiasis, hypercalciuria, LMW proteinuria, and renal failure in various combinations. Males are affected. It is caused by mutations in the chloride channel CLCN5 gene. It has been suggested that DD is underdiagnosed, occurring in less overt forms, apparently without family history. A possible approach to this problem is to search for CLCN5 mutations in patients who may have a high prevalence of mutations: end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients with previous calcium, struvite, or radio-opaque (CSR) stones. We looked for CLCN5 mutations in 25 males with ESRD-CSR stones selected from all of the patients (1,901 individuals, of which 1,179 were males) of 15 dialysis units in the Veneto region. One DD patient had a new DD mutation (1070 G > T) in exon 7. The new polymorphism IVS11-67 C > T was detected in intron 11 in one patient and one control. We also found 28 females with ESRD and stone history, and seven more males with ESRD and non-CSR stones. The prevalence of stone formers among dialysis patients in our region was 3.2%, much lower than the prevalence observed in older studies. Struvite stones continue to play a major role in causing stone-associated ESRD .

Abstract

The treatment of acute renal failure (ARF) in the newborn with hemo- or peritoneal dialysis is technically difficult and may even be contraindicated. As in the adult, continuous arterio-venous hemofiltration (CAVH) may be an alternative therapy. We used CAVH in the treatment of four newborns with ARF of different etiology. Two brachial, one femoral and one umbilical arteries were cannulated as arterial access, while three jugular and one umbilical veins were used as venous return. An Amicon 0.005 m2 Polysulphon Hollow Fiber hemofilter was connected to the patient with shortened pediatric hemodialysis lines. Total blood volume of the extracorporeal circuit was 15 to 22 ml. Before starting the procedure, an initial bolus of heparin was administered to the patient (100 i.u./kg body wt) and a successive continuous heparin administration was provided during the treatment at the rate of 5 to 7 i.u./kg/hr. Hyperalimentation and/or buffer solutions were used as replacement fluids and were administered according to the patient's fluid balance. mean data in the four patients are summarized as follows. The age of the patients ranged from two to 12 days, while the average body weight was about 3 kg. The ultrafiltration rate during the treatment averaged 0.9 ml/min with a plasma flow ranging from 9.8 to 19.6 ml/min. The treatment duration varied from 30 to 86 hrs. The treatment was well tolerated (patients 1 and 2 recovered, and patients 3 and 4 died due to complications unrelated to the treatment). Arterial pressure remained stable during the procedure. Metabolic acidosis, when present, was corrected by increasing the amount of buffer administered. BUN was maintained below 60 mg/dl in three patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
