Abstract

Objectives To detect possible severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) RNA contamination of inanimate surfaces in areas at high risk of aerosol formation by patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Methods Sampling was performed in the emergency unit and the sub-intensive care ward. SARS-CoV-2 RNA was extracted from swabbed surfaces and objects and subjected to real-time RT-PCR targeting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase and E genes. Virus isolation from positive samples was attempted in vitro on Vero E6 cells. Results Twenty-six samples were collected and only two were positive for low-level SARS-CoV-2 RNA, both collected on the external surface of continuous positive airway pressure helmets. All transport media were inoculated onto susceptible cells, but none induced a cytopathic effect on day 7 of culture. Conclusions Even though daily contact with inanimate surfaces and patient fomites in contaminated areas may be a medium of infection, our data obtained in real-life conditions suggest that it might be less extensive than hitherto recognized.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to assess the role of Tocilizumab therapy (TCZ) in terms of ICU admission and mortality rate of critically ill patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Design: Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia were prospectively enrolled in SMAtteo COvid19 REgistry (SMACORE). A retrospective analysis of patients treated with TCZ matched using propensity score to patients treated with Standard Of Care (SOC) was conducted. Setting: The study was conducted at IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo Hospital, Pavia, Italy, from March 14, 2020 to March 27, 2020. Participants: Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 hospitalized in our institution at the time of TCZ availability. Interventions: TCZ was administered to 21 patients. The first administration was 8 mg/kg (up to a maximum 800 mg per dose) of Tocilizumab intravenously, repeated after 12 h if no side effects were reported after the first dose. Main Outcomes and Measures: ICU admission and 7-day mortality rate. Secondary outcomes included clinical and laboratory data. Results: There were 112 patients evaluated (82 were male and 30 were female, with a median age of 63.55 years). Using propensity scores, the 21 patients who received TCZ were matched to 21 patients who received SOC (a combination of hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and prophylactic dose of low weight heparin). No adverse event was detected following TCZ administration. This study found that treatment with TCZ did not significantly affect ICU admission (OR 0.11; 95% CI between 0.00 and 3.38; p = 0.22) or 7-day mortality rate (OR 0.78; 95% CI between 0.06 and 9.34; p = 0.84) when compared with SOC. Analysis of laboratory measures showed significant interactions between time and treatment regarding C-Reactive Protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), platelets and international normalized ratio (INR) levels. Variation in lymphocytes count was observed over time, irrespective of treatment. Conclusions: TCZ administration did not reduce ICU admission or mortality rate in a cohort of 21 patients. Additional data are needed to understand the effect(s) of TCZ in treating patients diagnosed with COVID-19.

Abstract

Context. In the era of large spectroscopic surveys, massive databases of high-quality spectra coupled with the products of the Gaia satellite provide tools to outline a new picture of our Galaxy. In this framework, an important piece of information is provided by our ability to infer stellar ages, and consequently to sketch a Galactic timeline. Aims. We aim to provide empirical relations between stellar ages and abundance ratios for a sample of stars with very similar stellar parameters to those of the Sun, namely the so-called solar-like stars. We investigate the dependence on metallicity, and we apply our relations to independent samples, that is, the Gaia-ESO samples of open clusters and of field stars. Methods. We analyse high-resolution and high-signal-to-noise-ratio HARPS spectra of a sample of solar-like stars to obtain precise determinations of their atmospheric parameters and abundances for 25 elements and/or ions belonging to the main nucleosynthesis channels through differential spectral analysis, and of their ages through isochrone fitting. Results. We investigate the relations between stellar ages and several abundance ratios. For the abundance ratios with a steeper dependence on age, we perform multivariate linear regressions, in which we include the dependence on metallicity, [Fe/H]. We apply our best relations to a sample of open clusters located from the inner to the outer regions of the Galactic disc. Using our relations, we are able to recover the literature ages only for clusters located at RGC&Rlarr2; > &Rlarr2; 7 kpc. The values that we obtain for the ages of the inner-disc clusters are much greater than the literature ones. In these clusters, the content of neutron capture elements, such as Y and Zr, is indeed lower than expected from chemical evolution models, and consequently their [Y/Mg] and [Y/Al] are lower than in clusters of the same age located in the solar neighbourhood. With our chemical evolution model and a set of empirical yields

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: As the adoption of robotic procedures becomes more widespread, additional risk related to the learning curve can be expected. This article reports the results of a Delphi process to define procedures to optimize robotic training of thoracic surgeons and to promote safe performance of established robotic interventions as, for example, lung cancer and thymoma surgery. METHODS: In June 2016, a working panel was spontaneously created by members of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS) and European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) with a specialist interest in robotic thoracic surgery and/or surgical training. An e-consensus-finding exercise using the Delphi methodology was applied requiring 80% agreement to reach consensus on each question. Repeated iterations of anonymous voting continued over 3 rounds. RESULTS: Agreement was reached on many points: a standardized robotic training curriculum for robotic thoracic surgery should be divided into clearly defined sections as a staged learning pathway; the basic robotic curriculum should include a baseline evaluation, an e-learning module, a simulation-based training (including virtual reality simulation, Dry lab and Wet lab) and a robotic theatre (bedside) observation. Advanced robotic training should include e-learning on index procedures (right upper lobe) with video demonstration, access to video library of robotic procedures, simulation training, modular console training to index procedure, transition to full-procedure training with a proctor and final evaluation of the submitted video to certified independent examiners. CONCLUSIONS: Agreement was reached on a large number of questions to optimize and standardize training and education of thoracic surgeons in robotic activity. The production of the content of the learning material is ongoing.

Abstract

To retrospectively create a predictive score for estimating amputation-free survival (AFS) in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI) operated on with the use of a heparin-bonded expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) bypass graft (Hb-ePTFE). Over a 13-year period, ending in March 2015, a Hb-ePTFE graft was implanted in 683 patients undergoing below-knee revascularization for CLI in seven Italian vascular hospitals. Data concerning these interventions were retrospectively collected in a multicenter registry with a dedicated database. Univariate and multivariable analyses with Kaplan–Meier estimates were used to identify potential significant predictors of AFS at 5 years, and then a predictive risk score was constructed. A qualitative assessment of the Kaplan–Meier survival estimates for each integer score was performed, and subgroups of risk were stratified on the basis of the primary end point. Overall, estimated 5-year AFS rate was 48.3 % (SE 0.024). At multivariate analysis, older age, coronary artery disease, end-stage renal disease, tissue loss and poor runoff score were predictors of AFS. The integer score ranged from 0 to 11; Kaplan–Meier analysis for AFS in each score group identified three subgroups with significant differences at 5 years: low-risk subgroup (scores from 0 to 2, 67.7 %), medium-risk subgroup (scores 3 and 4, 49.2 %, p

Abstract

The aim of this work was to compare toxicity responses of the marine bacteria Vibrio fisheri with surface sediment samples collected from a shallow coastal lagoon (Pialassa Baiona, northern Adriatic italian coast) before and after dredging activities. Natural and man-made changes over the time, lead to existing physiographic features including shallow brackish ponds, isolated or semi-isolated by embankments, and crossed by a network of artificial channels dredged since 1850. The shallowness of the basins, the pollutant and nutrient loads, and seasonal algal blooms have severely affected the lagoon in the past decades. In an attempt to overcome the silting up of channels and restore the water circulation, a Channel Deepening Project (CDP) has been set for the main inner channel of the lagoon. According to the CDP, four replicates sediment samples were collected with a Wildco® box corer at each of the twelve stations in channels and ponds of the lagoon selected as control and impact areas during the pre-dredging phase. Grain size and organic carbon matter content as loss of ignition were measured. Parallel sediment toxicity testing with V. fisheri was carried out on bulk sediments with a Microtox® 500 analyser according to the Microtox® Basic Solid-Phase Test (BSPT) protocol. The performance of the Microtox® BSPT was tested in order to (a) determine if sediment grain size and organic carbon effects were significant enough to bias the interpretation of toxicity results; (b) evaluate if this sediment bias could affect the interpretation of results by overestimating the potential for contaminant effects especially in black anoxic sediments; (c) evaluate an hypothesis regarding the cause of low light outputs with silty sediments.

Abstract

The general aim of this work is to detect spatial and temporal differences in the sediments of a shallow coastal lagoon (Pialassa Baiona, Italy) before and after dredging operations. The area – which covers a surface of about 1100 ha - is located in the Emilia-Romagna Region 10 km north of the town of Ravenna, and bordered by the Northern Adriatic Sea. Natural and man-made changes over the time lead to existing physical features resulting in a number of different basins of less than 1 m in depth broad an irregular in shape, separated by levees and crossed by a network of artificial channels. From 1958 to 1976 the lagoon had been heavily impacted by industrial pollution, and mercury was among the most important pollutants, which nowadays contaminates the sedimentary compartment. Four replicates sediment samples were collected with a box-corer at each of twelve stations in channel and wetland areas selected as control and impact areas according to the dredging plan, and analysed for a set of heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Cr, Hg, Ni, Pb, and Zn). Mercury content in sediments was determined by Cold Vapour Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (CVAAS) after hot digestion with H2SO4/ HNO3 at 80° C for 3 h. Heavy metals underwent microwave digestion prior to analysis by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption (GFAA) using a Perkin-Elmer HGA-800 Instrument. Parallel sediment toxicity testing was conducted with a 10-day mortality test using the amphipod Corophium insidiosum. Preliminary results of the pre-dredging phase are here presented with reference to heavy metals content and toxicity responses in sediment samples.

Abstract

Acute fulminant myocarditis (AFM) may represent a life-threatening event, characterized by rapidly progressive cardiac compromise that ultimately leads to refractory cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) provides effective cardiocirculatory support in this circumstance, but few clinical series are available about early and long-term results. Data from a multicenter study group are reported which analyzed subjects affected by AFM and treated with VA-ECMO during a 5-year period.

Abstract

We report the observation of exchange bias in (Pt/Co[sub 0.90]Fe[sub 0.10])[sub n]/FeMn multilayers, with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We analyze the behavior of the exchange-bias field H[sub eb] as a function of temperature, FeMn thickness, number of (Pt/Co[sub 0.90]Fe[sub 0.10]) bilayers, and annealing conditions. Measurements carried out with field applied perpendicular to the plane of the samples indicate that the hysteresis loops present 100% of remanent magnetization, with H[sub eb] reaching 200 Oe and a tunable coercive field, depending on Co and Pt thickness ratio and on Pt buffer thickness. Furthermore, spin-valves of the form (Pt/Co[sub 0.90]Fe[sub 0.10])[sub n]/NM/(Co[sub 0.90]Fe[sub 0.10]/Pt)[sub m]/Co[sub 0.90]Fe[sub 0.10]/FeMn with NM= Cu or Pt have been prepared. They exhibit two well separated hysteresis loops when the field is applied perpendicular to the plane. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Supply chains are the core of most industrial networks in which your business operates. They provide the pipeline through which the products and services flow from supplier to customer across each element within the business activity system. Global supply chain relationships have become the basis for many industries with an international network of firms engaged in the supply of goods and services that must be produced to quality standards in one country and delivered just-in-time for assembly or integration into further production processes in another country, frequently many thousands of miles apart. This topic examines the nature of supply chain management and their role in strategic networking. The previous learning tasks have focused on having the correct internal mechanism to effectively manage the inputs and outputs of the organisation by implementing an effective and transparent management system. This learning task takes a look at how management intent strategy and innovation are used to measure the external factors that influence the overall performance of the organisation and develop new strategies by understanding the business cycle and the people within your market environment.

Abstract

Should the firm move successfully into a growth or expansion phase the owner manager will be required to increase the scale and scope of its operations. Part of this expansion will involve hiring additional employees, and increasing the overall complexity of the firm's activities. It is likely that the need for greater levels of professional management will be required to operate the firm, along with the need for enhanced planning and the introduction of systems to support the new levels of complexity. The transition from a small, owner-managed firm to a large systems-managed business will require the development of a team-based management approach with greater specialisation within the management team. Corporate governance is also likely to change as the growth cycle takes place. As it grows, the business will become more formalised in its accounting, management and other systems. The need for greater quantities of capital is likely to lead the business towards equity finance. As new equity partner are taken into the company the original owner managers may find their level of control diminished. The larger the firm becomes the more likely its management structure will become decentralised with greater separation between the owner and the firm in terms of operational and financial matters.

98. New country market feasibility analyses

Abstract

Opportunity screening is also known as feasibility testing, which is the process of assessing whether a particular business opportunity is within the capacity of either an entrepreneur or an intrapreneur, and also whether it can create sustainable revenues. As the funnel diagram shows, the number of opportunities diminishes as we move to the right through the diagram. This is because not every idea identified in the opportunity identification stage as potentially interesting, and then framed into a business opportunity in the opportunity development stage, will satisfy the formal and informal screening criteria. The informal screening process occurs in all stages of the development process. For example, not every idea that has been identified will be converted into a business opportunity; similarly, not every business opportunity progresses to a feasibility test. Subsequently, only the best business opportunities are screened, and only the very best of those screened then progress to the business plan step.
