Background/objectiveThis study describes the impact of immunomodulatory and/or immunosuppressive (IM/IS) drugs in the outcomes of COVID-19 infection in a cohort of patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs).MethodsAdult patients with IMIDs with a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were included. Data were reported by the treating physician between August 13, 2020 and July 31, 2021. Sociodemographic data, comorbidities, and DMARDs, as well as clinical characteristics, complications, and treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, were recorded. Descriptive analysis and multivariable logistic regression models were carried out.ResultsA total of 1672 patients with IMIDs were included, of whom 1402 were treated with IM/IS drugs. The most frequent diseases were rheumatoid arthritis (47.7%) and systemic lupus erythematosus (18.4%). COVID-19 symptoms were present in 95.2% of the patients. A total of 461 (27.6%) patients were hospitalized, 8.2% were admitted to the intensive care unit, and 4.4% died due to COVID-19.Patients without IM/IS treatment used glucocorticoids less frequently but at higher doses, had higher levels of disease activity, were significantly older, were more frequently hospitalized, admitted to the intensive care unit, and died due to COVID-19. After adjusting for these factors, treatment with IM/IS drugs was not associated with a worse COVID-19 outcome (World Health Organization-Ordinal Scale ≥5) (odds ratio, 1.24; 95% confidence interval, 0.73-2.06).ConclusionsSAR-COVID is the first multicenter Argentine registry collecting data from patients with rheumatic diseases and SARS-CoV-2 infection. After adjusting for relevant covariates, treatment with IM/IS drugs was not associated with severe COVID-19 in patients with IMIDs.Study registrationThis study has been registered in ClinicalTrials.gov under the number NCT04568421.

Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition - Abstract
We introduce a method to synthesize animator guided human motion across 3D scenes. Given a set of sparse (3 or 4) joint locations (such as the location of a person's hand and two feet) and a seed motion sequence in a 3D scene, our method generates a plausible motion sequence starting from the seed motion while satisfying the constraints imposed by the provided keypoints. We decompose the continual motion synthesis problem into walking along paths and transitioning in and out of the actions specified by the keypoints, which enables long generation of motions that satisfy scene constraints without explicitly incorporating scene information. Our method is trained only using scene agnostic mocap data. As a result, our approach is deployable across 3D scenes with various geometries. For achieving plausible continual motion synthesis without drift, our key contribution is to generate motion in a goal-centric canonical coordinate frame where the next immediate target is situated at the origin. Our model can generate long sequences of diverse actions such as grabbing, sitting and leaning chained together in arbitrary order, demonstrated on scenes of varying geometry: HPS, Replica, Matterport, ScanNet and scenes represented using NeRFs. Several experiments demonstrate that our method outperforms existing methods that navigate paths in 3D scenes.

High Energy Physics - Experiment ,High Energy Physics - Phenomenology ,Nuclear Theory - Abstract
A primary goal of the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is to measure the $\mathcal{O}(10)$ MeV neutrinos produced by a Galactic core-collapse supernova if one should occur during the lifetime of the experiment. The liquid-argon-based detectors planned for DUNE are expected to be uniquely sensitive to the $\nu_e$ component of the supernova flux, enabling a wide variety of physics and astrophysics measurements. A key requirement for a correct interpretation of these measurements is a good understanding of the energy-dependent total cross section $\sigma(E_\nu)$ for charged-current $\nu_e$ absorption on argon. In the context of a simulated extraction of supernova $\nu_e$ spectral parameters from a toy analysis, we investigate the impact of $\sigma(E_\nu)$ modeling uncertainties on DUNE's supernova neutrino physics sensitivity for the first time. We find that the currently large theoretical uncertainties on $\sigma(E_\nu)$ must be substantially reduced before the $\nu_e$ flux parameters can be extracted reliably: in the absence of external constraints, a measurement of the integrated neutrino luminosity with less than 10\% bias with DUNE requires $\sigma(E_\nu)$ to be known to about 5%. The neutrino spectral shape parameters can be known to better than 10% for a 20% uncertainty on the cross-section scale, although they will be sensitive to uncertainties on the shape of $\sigma(E_\nu)$. A direct measurement of low-energy $\nu_e$-argon scattering would be invaluable for improving the theoretical precision to the needed level., Comment: 25 pages, 21 figures

Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition - Abstract
Capturing the interactions between humans and their environment in 3D is important for many applications in robotics, graphics, and vision. Recent works to reconstruct the 3D human and object from a single RGB image do not have consistent relative translation across frames because they assume a fixed depth. Moreover, their performance drops significantly when the object is occluded. In this work, we propose a novel method to track the 3D human, object, contacts between them, and their relative translation across frames from a single RGB camera, while being robust to heavy occlusions. Our method is built on two key insights. First, we condition our neural field reconstructions for human and object on per-frame SMPL model estimates obtained by pre-fitting SMPL to a video sequence. This improves neural reconstruction accuracy and produces coherent relative translation across frames. Second, human and object motion from visible frames provides valuable information to infer the occluded object. We propose a novel transformer-based neural network that explicitly uses object visibility and human motion to leverage neighbouring frames to make predictions for the occluded frames. Building on these insights, our method is able to track both human and object robustly even under occlusions. Experiments on two datasets show that our method significantly improves over the state-of-the-art methods.

Astrophysics - High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena - Abstract
Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to solve a specific boundary value problem is becoming more popular as an alternative to traditional methods. However, depending on the specific problem, they could be computationally expensive and potentially less accurate. The functionality of PINNs for real-world physical problems can significantly improve if they become more flexible and adaptable. To address this, our work explores the idea of training a PINN for general boundary conditions and source terms expressed through a limited number of coefficients, introduced as additional inputs in the network. Although this process increases the dimensionality and is computationally costly, using the trained network to evaluate new general solutions is much faster. Our results indicate that PINN solutions are relatively accurate, reliable, and well-behaved. We applied this idea to the astrophysical scenario of the magnetic field evolution in the interior of a neutron star connected to a force-free magnetosphere. Solving this problem through a global simulation in the entire domain is expensive due to the elliptic solver's needs for the exterior solution. The computational cost with a PINN was more than an order of magnitude lower than the similar case solved with classical methods. These results pave the way for the future extension to 3D of this (or a similar) problem, where generalised boundary conditions are very costly to implement., Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures, submitted for publication in MNRAS

The recent application of topological quantum chemistry to rhombohedral bismuth established the non-trivial band structure of this material. This is a 2$^{nd}$order topological insulator characterized by the presence of topology-imposed hinge-states. The spatial distribution of hinge-states and the possible presence of additional symmetry-protected surface-states is expected to depend on the crystal shape and symmetries. To explore this issue, we have grown bismuth nanocrystals in the tens of nanometers on the $(110)$ surface of InAs. By scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we mapped the local density of states on all facets and identified the presence of the hinge-states at the intersection of all facets. Our study confirm the classification of bulk bismuth as a 2$^{nd}$order topological insulator. We propose that the ubiquitous presence of the hinge-states result from their tunnel-coupling across the nanometer-sized facets., Comment: 10 pages, 5 figures

The field of steganography has experienced a surge of interest due to the recent advancements in AI-powered techniques, particularly in the context of multimodal setups that enable the concealment of signals within signals of a different nature. The primary objectives of all steganographic methods are to achieve perceptual transparency, robustness, and large embedding capacity - which often present conflicting goals that classical methods have struggled to reconcile. This paper extends and enhances an existing image-in-audio deep steganography method by focusing on improving its robustness. The proposed enhancements include modifications to the loss function, utilization of the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), introduction of redundancy in the encoding process for error correction, and buffering of additional information in the pixel subconvolution operation. The results demonstrate that our approach outperforms the existing method in terms of robustness and perceptual transparency., Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables

Condensed Matter - Statistical Mechanics - Abstract
Heat rectifiers would facilitate energy management operations such as cooling, or energy harvesting, but devices of practical interest are still missing. Understanding heat rectification at a fundamental level is key to help us find or design such devices. The match or mismatch of the phonon band spectrum of device segments for forward or reverse temperature bias of the thermal baths at device boundaries, was proposed as the mechanism behind rectification. However no explicit, theoretical relation derived from first principles had been found so far between heat fluxes and spectral matching. We study heat rectification in a minimalistic chain of two coupled ions. The fluxes and rectification can be calculated analytically. We propose a definition of the matching that sets an upper bound for the heat flux. In a regime where the device rectifies optimally, matching and flux ratios for forward and reverse configurations are found to be proportional. The results can be extended to a system of N particles in arbitrary traps with nearest-neighbor linear interactions., Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures

Quantitative Biology - Populations and Evolution ,Computer Science - Discrete Mathematics - Abstract
Phylogenetic networks generalize phylogenetic trees in order to model reticulation events. Although the comparison of phylogenetic trees is well studied, and there are multiple ways to do it in an efficient way, the situation is much different for phylogenetic networks. Some classes of phylogenetic networks, mainly tree-child networks, are known to be classified efficiently by their $\mu$-representation, which essentially counts, for every node, the number of paths to each leaf. In this paper, we introduce the extended $\mu$-representation of networks, where the number of paths to reticulations is also taken into account. This modification allows us to distinguish orchard networks and to define a sound metric on the space of such networks that can, moreover, be computed efficiently. The class of orchard networks, as well as being one of the classes with biological significance (one such network can be interpreted as a tree with extra arcs involving coexisting organisms), is one of the most generic ones (in mathematical terms) for which such a representation can (conjecturally) exist, since a slight relaxation of the definition leads to a problem that is Graph Isomorphism Complete.

We define the notion of generalized logarithmic sheaves on a smooth projective surface, associated to a pair consisting of a reduced curve and some fixed points on it. We then set up the study of the Torelli property in this setting, focusing mostly in the case of the blow-up of the projective plane on a reduced set of points and, in particular, in the case of the cubic surface. We also study the stability property of generalized logarithmic sheaves as well as carrying out the description of their moduli spaces., Comment: 39 pages.

We investigate the photon statistics of the light emitted by single self-assembled hybrid gold-CdSe/CdS/CdZnS colloidal nanocrystal supraparticles through the detailed analysis of the intensity autocorrelation function $g^{(2)}(\tau)$. We first reveal that, despite the large number of nanocrystals involved in the supraparticle emission, antibunching can be observed. We then present a model based on non-coherent F\"orster energy transfer and Auger recombination that well captures photon antibunching. Finally, we demonstrate that some supraparticles exhibit a bunching effect at short time scales corresponding to coherent collective emission.

Wines from grapes of Cabernet Sauvignon of the AOC Tarragona were elaborated with supplementation or not of two specific inactivated dry yeasts (Optired® and Optimum Red®; Lallemand Inc.) or with an experimental grape-skin extract. All the wines treated were significantly less astringent than the control wine because both inactivated dry yeast and the skin extract released polysaccharides which probably inhibit interactions between salivary proteins and tannins, and because their presence decrease the proportion of seed tannins and increase the proportion of skin tannins in the final wines.

The production of backyard chickens is an activity of great importance in the economy of rural families in Paraguay. The Rustipollos population was created through directed crosses between a commercial meat line and a local population belonging to non-specific breeds but phenotypically assimilated to Creole breeds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic diversity, relationship, and structure of Rustipollos using 29 microsatellite markers. Analysis was performed on 50 Rustipollos animals and 926 other individuals as reference breeds/populations from Europe, Africa, South, and North America. A total of 318 alleles were detected, with a mean of 10.97 per locus. The polymorphic information content indicated that 80% of all loci were highly to moderately informative. Only two breeds/populations showed loci that did not deviate from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. The results of genetic diversity indexes suggested moderate levels of genetic variability in Rustipollos population and low inbreeding level. The genetic differentiation index indicates a high genetic differentiation between populations. The results of the Neighbor-Net tree and STRUCTURE analyses indicate the existence of distinct gene pools, with some genetic relationships between Rustipollos, the commercial chicken strain, and south Spanish breeds. The Discriminant Analysis of Principal Components confirmed the observed genetic distances between breeds/populations. The results will be useful for sustainable use and official recognition of this population.

We also show that the current uncertainty quantification methods used for pollutant modelling rely almost exclusively on parameter uncertainty, which is not adequate to tackle epistemic uncertainty affecting the model structure. We, therefore, suggest a paradigm shift in the current pollutant modelling approaches by adding a term explicitly accounting for epistemic uncertainties. In a proof-of-concept, we use this approach to investigate the impact of epistemic uncertainty in the fluctuation of pollutants during wet-weather discharge (input information) on the distribution of mass of pollutants (output distributions). We found that the range of variability negatively impacts the tail of output distributions. The fluctuation time, associated with high covariance between discharge and concentration, is a major driver for the output distributions. Adapting to different levels of epistemic uncertainty, our approach helps to identify critical unknown information in the fluctuation of pollutant concentration. Such information can be used in a risk management context and to design smart monitoring campaigns. HIGHLIGHTS Current modelling approaches are not suitable for the deep epistemic uncertainty associated with pollutants of emerging concern.; Variability and fluctuation of concentration and the concentration-discharge dependency can worsen the severity of an overflow event.; Through our method for the impact of epistemic uncertainty, we suggest a paradigm shift toward the design of smart stormwater quality monitoring campaigns.;

Biology (General) ,QH301-705.5 - Abstract
Relatively little attention has been paid to the underlying mechanisms determining the dominance of non-indigenous species (NIS) once established, despite being regarded as a proxy of invasion success and potential impacts in recipient communities. To bridge this knowledge gap, here we evaluate the potential direct and indirect effects of community filters on the dominance of two widespread NIS in the Baltic Sea: Marenzelleria spp. and the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) within their corresponding communities. We applied a structural equation modelling approach to assess the direct and indirect effects amongst multiple abiotic and biotic variables on the relative biomass (as proxy of dominance) of NIS. The biotic variables represented the taxonomic- and functional diversity of the recipient communities, as well as the trait similarity between NIS and native species. We observed a comparable influence of abiotic and biotic drivers on the dominance of both NIS, with biotic variables having a somewhat stronger overall direct effect. Specifically, the dominance of both NIS was similarly affected negatively by the richness and positively by the evenness of the native communities. However, we also detected that both NIS might need different ecological strategies to become dominant in their recipient communities, which underwent similar assembly processes. Such strategies were partly highlighted by the different degrees of trait similarity between each NIS and their respective co-occurring native species. A better understanding of the underlying processes affecting NIS dominance is of high relevance to mitigate potential impacts of NIS once established. Furthermore, the provided approach could be further applied to unveil the potential strategies that NIS might follow in other regions and ecosystem types.

La Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño establece la participación infantil como un derecho fundamental. Esto significa que se debe permitir a los niños expresar sus puntos de vista, ser escuchados y que sus intereses sean considerados en las decisiones que tienen un impacto directo en ellos. Este principio es clave en el ámbito de los derechos del niño y la protección de la infancia. La presente investigación se centra en la integración de la infancia en los procesos de análisis y transformación arquitectónica de los espacios que ocupan. En particular, se analiza la transformación del espacio exterior del CEIP Son Basca en Sa Pobla, Mallorca, con el objetivo de fomentar un juego más diversificado, el aprendizaje, la inclusión, la coeducación, el confort ambiental y la naturalización. El estudio propone una metodología que implica la participación de toda la comunidad educativa, incluyendo a los niños, para garantizar una participación real y efectiva en la transformación final del patio. La experiencia se justifica por la necesidad de revisar la configuración tradicional de los patios escolares y por la aparición de nuevas metodologías para el diseño de estos espacios. Estas metodologías reconocen la importancia de la arquitectura en la creación de ambientes integrados, menos fragmentados y propicios para el aprendizaje significativo, e incorporan la participación de la infancia. Además de su objetivo principal de implementar la transformación de manera participativa, el estudio destaca el potencial del proceso de diseño colaborativo del patio para generar aprendizajes en varios niveles educativos del centro. Este enfoque participativo no solo mejora el entorno físico, sino que también contribuye al desarrollo educativo y s ocial de los alumnos.

Abstract Motorized spiral enteroscopy (MSE) enhances small bowel exploration, but the optimal target population for this technique is unknown. We aimed to identify the target population for MSE by evaluating its efficacy and safety, as well as detecting predictors of efficacy. A prospective multicenter observational study was conducted at 9 tertiary hospitals in Spain, enrolling patients between June 2020–2022. Analyzed data included demographics, indications for the procedure, exploration time, depth of maximum insertion (DMI), technical success, diagnostic yield, interventional yield, and adverse events (AE) up to 14 days from enteroscopy. Patients with prior gastrointestinal surgery, unsuccessful balloon enteroscopy and small bowel strictures were analyzed. A total of 326 enteroscopies (66.6% oral route) were performed in 294 patients (55.1% males, 65 years ± 21). Prior abdominal surgery was present in 50% of procedures (13.5% gastrointestinal surgery). Lower DMI (162 vs 275 cm, p = 0.037) and diagnostic yield (47.7 vs 67.5%, p = 0.016) were observed in patients with prior gastrointestinal surgery. MSE showed 92.2% technical success and 56.9% diagnostic yield after unsuccessful balloon enteroscopy (n = 51). In suspected small bowel strictures (n = 49), the finding was confirmed in 23 procedures (46.9%). The total AE rate was 10.7% (1.8% classified as major events) with no differences related to prior gastrointestinal/abdominal surgery, unsuccessful enteroscopy, or suspected small bowel strictures. The study demonstrates that MSE has a lower diagnostic yield and DMI in patients with prior gastrointestinal surgery but is feasible after unsuccessful balloon-enteroscopy and in suspected small bowel strictures without safety concerns.

Science - Abstract
Abstract Opioid withdrawal is a liability of chronic opioid use and misuse, impacting people who use prescription or illicit opioids. Hyperactive autonomic output underlies many of the aversive withdrawal symptoms that make it difficult to discontinue chronic opioid use. The locus coeruleus (LC) is an important autonomic centre within the brain with a poorly defined role in opioid withdrawal. We show here that pannexin-1 (Panx1) channels expressed on microglia critically modulate LC activity during opioid withdrawal. Within the LC, we found that spinally projecting tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons (LCspinal) are hyperexcitable during morphine withdrawal, elevating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of norepinephrine. Pharmacological and chemogenetic silencing of LCspinal neurons or genetic ablation of Panx1 in microglia blunted CSF NE release, reduced LC neuron hyperexcitability, and concomitantly decreased opioid withdrawal behaviours in mice. Using probenecid as an initial lead compound, we designed a compound (EG-2184) with greater potency in blocking Panx1. Treatment with EG-2184 significantly reduced both the physical signs and conditioned place aversion caused by opioid withdrawal in mice, as well as suppressed cue-induced reinstatement of opioid seeking in rats. Together, these findings demonstrate that microglial Panx1 channels modulate LC noradrenergic circuitry during opioid withdrawal and reinstatement. Blocking Panx1 to dampen LC hyperexcitability may therefore provide a therapeutic strategy for alleviating the physical and aversive components of opioid withdrawal.

Cytology ,QH573-671 - Abstract
Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD), a prevalent chronic inflammatory disease with multifactorial etiology, features epidermal barrier defects and immune overactivation. Synthetic glucocorticoids (GCs) are widely prescribed for treating AD due to their anti-inflammatory actions; however, mechanisms are incompletely understood. Defective local GC signaling due to decreased production of endogenous ligand and/or GC receptor (GR) levels was reported in prevalent inflammatory skin disorders; whether this is a consequence or contributing factor to AD pathology is unclear. To identify the chromatin-bound cell-type-specific GR protein interactome in keratinocytes, we used rapid immunoprecipitation of endogenous proteins and mass spectrometry identifying 145 interactors that increased upon dexamethasone treatment. GR-interacting proteins were enriched in p53/p63 signaling, including epidermal transcription factors with critical roles in AD pathology. Previous analyses indicating mirrored AD-like phenotypes between P63 overexpression and GR loss in epidermis, and our data show an intricate relationship between these transcription factors in human keratinocytes, identifying TP63 as a direct GR target. Dexamethasone treatment counteracted transcriptional up-regulation of inflammatory markers by IL4/IL13, known to mimic AD, causing opposite shifts in GR and P63 genomic binding. Indeed, IL4/IL13 decreased GR and increased P63 levels in cultured keratinocytes and human epidermal equivalents (HEE), consistent with GR down-regulation and increased P63 expression in AD lesions vs normal skin. Moreover, GR knockdown (GRKD) resulted in constitutive increases in P63, phospho-P38 and S100A9, IL6, and IL33. Also, GRKD culture supernatants showed increased autocrine production of TH2-/TH1-/TH17-TH22-associated factors including IL4, CXCL10, CXCL11, and CXCL8. GRKD HEEs showed AD-like features including hyperplasia and abnormal differentiation, resembling phenotypes observed with GR antagonist or IL4/IL13 treatment. The simultaneous GR/P63 knockdown partially reversed constitutive up-regulation of inflammatory genes in GRKD. In summary, our data support a causative role for GR loss in AD pathogenesis via functional interactions with P63 and autocrine signaling in epidermal keratinocytes.

Meteorology. Climatology ,QC851-999 - Abstract
Climate change is a global challenge with multiple far-reaching consequences, including the intensification and increased frequency of many extreme-weather events. In response to this pressing issue, we present ClimaMeter, a platform designed to assess and contextualize extreme-weather events relative to climate change. The platform offers near-real-time insights into the dynamics of extreme events, serving as a resource for researchers and policymakers while also being a science dissemination tool for the general public. ClimaMeter currently analyses heatwaves, cold spells, heavy precipitation, and windstorms. This paper elucidates the methodology, data sources, and analytical techniques on which ClimaMeter relies, providing a comprehensive overview of its scientific foundation. We further present two case studies: the late 2023 French heatwave and the July 2023 Storm Poly. We use two distinct datasets for each case study, namely Multi-Source Weather (MSWX) data, which serve as the reference for our rapid-attribution protocol, and the ERA5 dataset, widely regarded as the leading global climate reanalysis. These examples highlight both the strengths and limitations of ClimaMeter in expounding the link between climate change and the dynamics of extreme-weather events.

Abstract Rehabilitation technologies offer promising opportunities for interventions for patients with motor disabilities. However, their use in routine care remains limited due to their high cost and persistent doubts about their cost-effectiveness. Providing solid evidence of the economic efficiency of rehabilitation technologies would help dispel these doubts in order to better take advantage of these technologies. In this context, this systematic review aimed to examine the cost-effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions based on the use of digital technologies. In total, 660 articles published between 2011 and 2021 were identified, of which eleven studies met all the inclusion criteria. Of these eleven studies, seven proved to be cost-effective, while four were not. Four studies used cost-utility analyses (CUAs) and seven used cost-minimization analyses (CMAs). The majority (ten studies) focused on the rehabilitation of the upper and/or lower limbs after a stroke, while only one study examined the rehabilitation of the lower limbs after knee arthroplasty. Regarding the evaluated devices, seven studies analyzed the cost-effectiveness of robotic rehabilitation and four analyzed rehabilitation with virtual reality.The assessment of the quality of the included studies using the CHEERS (Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards) suggested that the quality was related to the economic analysis method: all studies that adopted a cost-utility analysis obtained a high quality score (above 80%), while the quality scores of the cost-minimization analyses were average, with the highest score obtained by a CMA being 72%. The average quality score of all the articles was 75%, ranging between 52 and 100. Of the four studies with a considering score, two concluded that there was equivalence between the intervention and conventional care in terms of cost-effectiveness, one concluded that the intervention dominated, while the last one concluded that usual care dominated. This suggests that even considering the quality of the included studies, rehabilitation interventions based on digital technologies remain cost-effective, they improved health outcomes and quality of life for patients with motor disorders while also allowing cost savings.

Objetives. Bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a public health problem, however, few studies are performed in natural water ecosystems in middle-low-income countries. The objective of this study was to evaluate the presence and sensitivity to antimicrobials of Escherichia coli strains isolated from 24 irrigation water samples from the Rimac River in eastern Lima. Materials and methods. E.coli were identified by PCR. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by disk diffusion method. The extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), quinolones and virulence involved genes were determined by PCR. Results. All samples exceeded the permissible limits established in the Environmental Quality Standards for vegetable irrigation. Of the 94 strains, 72.3% showed resistance to at least one antibiotic, 24.5% were multidrug-resistant (MDR), and 2.1% were extremely drug resistant. The highest percentages of resistance were observed against nalidixic acid (50%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (35.5%) and ciprofloxacin (20.4%). Among the isolates, 3.2% presented ESBL phenotype related to blaCTX-M-15 gene. The transferable mechanisms of resistance to quinolones, qnrB were more frequent (20.4%), and 2.04% had the qnrS. It was determined that 5.3% were diarrheagenic E. coli and of these, 60% were enterotoxigenic E. coli, 20% were enteropathogenic E. coli and 20% were enteroaggregative E. coli. Conclusions. Our results show the existence diarrheagenic pathotypes in water used to irrigate fresh produce and highlights the presence of ESBL-producers and MDR E. coli, demonstrating the role that irrigation water plays in disseminating resistance genes in Peru.

Abstract Background Severe trauma is associated with systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction. Preclinical rodent trauma models are the mainstay of postinjury research but have been criticized for not fully replicating severe human trauma. The aim of this study was to create a rat model of multicompartmental injury which recreates profound traumatic injury. Methods Male Sprague–Dawley rats were subjected to unilateral lung contusion and hemorrhagic shock (LCHS), multicompartmental polytrauma (PT) (unilateral lung contusion, hemorrhagic shock, cecectomy, bifemoral pseudofracture), or naïve controls. Weight, plasma toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4), hemoglobin, spleen to body weight ratio, bone marrow (BM) erythroid progenitor (CFU‐GEMM, BFU‐E, and CFU‐E) growth, plasma granulocyte colony‐stimulating factor (G‐CSF) and right lung histologic injury were assessed on day 7, with significance defined as p values
