Abstract

Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults.

259. Tropical Cyclone Genesis Potential Indices in a New High‐Resolution Climate Models Ensemble: Limitations and Way Forward

Author

Cavicchia, L., Scoccimarro, E., Ascenso, G., Castelletti, A., Giuliani, M., and Gualdi, S.

Abstract

Genesis Potential Indices (GPIs) link the occurrence of Tropical Cyclones (TCs) to large‐scale environmental conditions favorable for TC development. In the last few decades, they have been routinely used as a way to overcome the limitations of climate models (GCM), whose resolution is too coarse to produce realistic TCs. Recently, the first GCM ensemble with high enough horizontal resolution to realistically reproduce TCs was made available. Here, we address the questions of whether GPIs are still relevant in the era of TC‐permitting climate model ensembles, and whether they have sufficient predictive skills. The predictive skills of GPIs are assessed against the TCs directly simulated in a climate model ensemble. We found that GPIs have poor skill in two key metrics: inter‐annual variability and multi‐decadal trends. We discuss possible ways to improve the understanding of the predictive skill of GPIs and therefore enhance their applicability in the era of TC‐permitting GCMs. Tropical Cyclones are extreme weather events which cause large damage when they hit inhabited areas. Understanding future cyclone activity in advance is very important to limit the damage. Until recently, climate models that scientists use to study future extremes where not able to reproduce realistic tropical cyclones because available computers were not powerful enough. Scientists used to look at indicators of cyclone activity ‐known as genesis potential indices—based on a number of quantities responsible for cyclone formation, rather than looking at cyclones themselves. Using cyclone data from a new set of climate model projections, we show that genesis potential indices are not always accurate in explaining future cyclone activity. We discuss how future research could help us improve the understanding of the drivers of tropical cyclone activity, and therefore the accuracy of genesis potential indices. A recently produced high‐resolution GCM ensemble allows for the first time a systematic assessment of Genesis Potential Indices (GPIs) performanceAll the analyzed GPIs show poor skill in reproducing the interannual variability and future trends of modeled cyclonesPossible ways forward include adding variables related to Tropical Cyclones small‐scale dynamics, and using advanced statistical techniques based on Machine Learning A recently produced high‐resolution GCM ensemble allows for the first time a systematic assessment of Genesis Potential Indices (GPIs) performance All the analyzed GPIs show poor skill in reproducing the interannual variability and future trends of modeled cyclones Possible ways forward include adding variables related to Tropical Cyclones small‐scale dynamics, and using advanced statistical techniques based on Machine Learning

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) lead to different weakness patterns, and most patients with NMDs develop respiratory failure. Inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength can be measured by maximum static inspiratory pressure (PImax) and maximum static expiratory pressure (PEmax), and the relationship between them has not been well described in healthy subjects and subjects with NMDs. Our aim was to assess expiratory/inspiratory muscle strength in NMDs and healthy subjects and calculate PEmax/PImax ratio for these groups. METHODS: Seventy (35 males) subjects with NMDs (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, and myotonic dystrophy), and 93 (47 males) healthy individuals 20-80 y of age were evaluated for anthropometry, pulmonary function, PImax, and PEmax, respectively. RESULTS: Healthy individuals showed greater values for PImax and PEmax when compared with subjects with NMDs. PEmax/PImax ratio for healthy subjects was 1.31 ± 0.26, and PEmax%/PImax% was 1.04 ± 0.05; for subjects with NMDs, PEmax/PImax ratio was 1.45 ± 0.65, and PEmax%/PImax% ratio was 1.42 ± 0.67. We found that PEmax%/PImax% for myotonic dystrophy was 0.93 ± 0.24, for myasthenia gravis 1.94 ± 0.6, and for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 1.33 ± 0.62 when we analyzed them separately. All healthy individuals showed higher PEmax compared with PImax. For subjects with NMDs, the impairment of PEmax and PImax is different among the 3 pathologies studied (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Healthy individuals and subjects with NMDs showed higher PEmax in comparison to PImax regarding the PEmax/PImax ratio. Based on the ratio, it is possible to state that NMDs show different patterns of respiratory muscle strength loss. PEmax/PImax ratio is a useful parameter to assess the impairment of respiratory muscles in a patient and to customize rehabilitation and treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

266. On the Influence of ENSO on Sudden Stratospheric Warmings

Author

Palmeiro, F. M., García‐Serrano, J., Ruggieri, P., Batté, L., and Gualdi, S.

Abstract

Using the extended ERA5 reanalysis and three state‐of‐the‐art models, this study explores how El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) can influence the total frequency, seasonal cycle and preconditioning of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs). Reanalysis data shows that in the last seven decades, winters with SSWs were more common than winters without, regardless El Niño (EN) or La Niña (LN) occurrence or the ENSO/SSW definitions. In agreement with previous studies, our models tend to simulate a linear ENSO‐SSW relationship, with more SSWs for EN, around mid‐winter (January–February) as in reanalysis, and less for LN when compared to neutral conditions. Independently of ENSO, the main tropospheric precursor of SSWs appears to be an anomalous wave‐like pattern over Eurasia, but it is dominated by wavenumber 1 (WN1) for EN and shows an enhanced wavenumber 2 (WN2) for LN. The differences in this Eurasian wave pattern, which is largely internally generated, emerge from the distinct configuration of the background, stationary wave pattern induced by ENSO in the North Pacific, favoring a stronger WN1 (WN2) component during EN (LN). Our results suggest that the ENSO‐forced signal relies on modulating the seasonal‐mean polar vortex strength, becoming weaker and more displaced (stronger and more stable) for EN (LN), while ENSO‐unforced wave activity represents the ultimate trigger of SSWs. This supports the view that ENSO and SSWs are distinct sources of variability of the winter atmospheric circulation operating at different time‐scales and may reconcile previous findings in this context. Sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) are extreme events of the stratospheric polar vortex that consist in its deceleration and breakdown for several days, with implications on surface weather for several weeks. On the other hand, the atmospheric response to El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has been shown to weaken the stratospheric polar vortex during El Niño and strengthen it during La Niña winters, and hence, potential modulation of the occurrence of SSWs by ENSO is expected. Reanalysis data shows that in the last seven decades, winters with SSWs were more frequent than winters without regardless of ENSO, and instead of having an impact on the SSW total frequency, El Niño seems to favor events in mid‐winter (January–February). The main mechanism driving SSWs is thought to be anomalous upward wave activity from the troposphere into the stratosphere, reaching and perturbing the polar vortex. Independently of the ENSO phase, enhanced wave activity before SSWs is here found over Eurasia, thus pointing to this region as the main precursor of SSWs. While ENSO modulates the polar vortex at monthly/seasonal time‐scales, SSWs do so at daily/weekly time‐scales, representing distinct sources of variability of the polar vortex. El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) modulate the stratospheric polar vortex at different time‐scalesThe main SSW precursor independently of the ENSO phase is associated with wave activity over EurasiaThe anomalous Eurasian wave pattern can be dominated by different wave numbers depending on the ENSO phase El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) modulate the stratospheric polar vortex at different time‐scales The main SSW precursor independently of the ENSO phase is associated with wave activity over Eurasia The anomalous Eurasian wave pattern can be dominated by different wave numbers depending on the ENSO phase

267. Correction of the Nasojugal Groove.

Author

Abstract

A young and pleasant face has a smooth and firm integument lining which covers and blends the different areas of the face in a continuous and harmonious way. The regularity of the skin surface should only be slightly marked by tiny wrinkles and lines which generally tend to deepen with age. In fact, owing to progressive relaxation, soft tissues are prone to move downwards gathering above the skin's fixation areas (ligaments and facial adherences) eventually becoming visible and looking more like furrows. This phenomenon, for example, affects the nasolabial area above the adherences between the dermis and the aponeurosis of the elevator muscles and the orbicularis oris. This line, which may be already present, even though rather vaguely, in childhood, tends to deepen owing to the dermal-adipose fold which forms above it. With age even palpebral and periorbital soft tissues, owing to the pull of gravity, to the movement and deterioration which they undergo, become thinner and descend, causing the formation of the so-called malar bags, as well as the deepening and extension of the nasojugal groove, which is the subject of this article.

Abstract

High-intensity apparent diffusion coefficient values in the subglandular area of the uterine cervix are highly associated with delivery within 7 days, and if this finding is confirmed in subsequent studies, it can be of great clinical value when caring for asymptomatic patients at a critical gestational age who have a sonographic short cervix and positive fetal fibronectin test results.

Abstract

Background Small-bowel (SB) disease is a severe clinical entity among the phenotypes of Crohn’s disease (CD). Objective To assess sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of magnetic resonance enterography (MRE), small-intestine contrast US (SICUS), and capsule endoscopy (CE) in the diagnosis of pediatric SB-CD. Design Prospective, blinded, comparison study. Setting Tertiary center for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. Patients Children with known or suspected CD. Diagnosis of SB obstruction at SICUS or MRE excluded patients from the study. Intervention Patients underwent ileocolonoscopy, MRE, SICUS, and CE over a 7-day period. For the imaging evaluation, SB was divided into 3 segments: jejunum, proximal and mid ileum, and terminal ileum. Main Outcome Measurements The performance of each method was compared to a consensus reference standard for upper SB and to ileocolonoscopy for the terminal ileum. Results Twenty-five patients completed the study. In the jejunum, the sensitivity of SICUS and CE was 92%, which was not significantly higher than MRE (75%); the specificity of CE (61%) was significantly lower than that of MRE ( P = .04). In the proximal and mid ileum, MRE and CE did not have significantly higher sensitivity (100%) than SICUS (80%), but CE was less specific ( P > .05). At the terminal ileum, SICUS and MRE were slightly more sensitive than CE (94% vs. 81%); however, the latter was more specific. Limitations Use of the consensus reference standard for upper SB. Small number of patients. Conclusion SICUS, MRE, and CE are all effective options for imaging SB. An integrated use of different tools should be suggested to achieve a complete assessment of the SB in children with suspected or confirmed CD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: The aim of this pilot study was to verify the role of olfactory test and volumetric magnetic resonance imaging measure of hippocampus to predict conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer disease (AD). Materials and Methods: Eighteen patients with amnesic mild cognitive impairment, broadly defined, were followed at 12 months. Hypothesized baseline predictors for follow-up conversion to AD were olfactory deficit and hippocampal volumes loss. Results: In the 1-year follow-up, 5 patients converted to AD. The 2 clinical predictors olfactory test and hippocampal volume loss showed the same sensitivity of 92.3% but the olfactory test showed a higher specificity than the hippocampal volume loss (75% vs. 60%). Conclusions: Our findings suggest the potential utility of olfactory test and hippocampal volume loss for early detection of AD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

279. Synthesis of KBiFe2O5by electrospinning: Structural, optical, and magnetic properties

Author

Melo, Guilherme H.F., Gualdi, Alexandre J., and Bretas, Rosario E.S.

Abstract

Ferroelectric oxides are currently being studied as absorbing materials in photovoltaic devices due to their spontaneous polarization that facilitates charge separation. KBiFe2O5(KBFO) is a ferroelectric oxide with a perovskite like structure that has a low band gap; however, it has a relatively low electrical conductivity, which makes it difficult to transport and collect carriers. One way of overcoming that deficiency would be by decreasing the dimensions of the active layer. Thus, in this work, for the first time, nanofibers of KBFO were produced by electrospinning. Aqueous solutions of the ceramic precursors in the form of Fe, K and Bi nitrates were electrospun using poly (vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as the carrier. The as-spun fibers were calcinated at different temperatures and times. The pure KBFO phase was obtained after calcination at 750 °C, during 1.5 h at 15 °C/min; the nanofibers had diameters between 300 nm and 800 nm as analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The interplanar distances of the (100) and (111‾)planes were 0.78 and 0.37 nm, respectively, as calculated by a VESTA software, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Using a Magnetization-Field (MxH) curve, KBFO was found to be highly paramagnetic with low magnetization. The band gap was measured by spectrophotometry via a Tauc plot, resulting in a value of 1.72 eV. Therefore, KBFO in the form of nanofibers seems to have a high potential as an absorbing material in photovoltaic cells.

Abstract

Acute abdominal pain in pregnancy presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Ultrasound remains the primary imaging investigation of the pregnant abdomen because of its availability, portability, and lack of ionizing radiation. MR imaging has been shown to be useful in the diagnosis of gynecologic and obstetric problems and in the setting of acute abdomen during pregnancy. MR imaging is often used when ultrasound is inconclusive. Computed tomography is the investigation of choice when there is a life-threatening situation and in case of traumatic injuries, when a rapid diagnosis is required.

284. Errors in Imaging of Emergencies in Pregnancy.

Author

Abstract

There is evidence that emergencies in pregnancy are subject to mismanagement; however, the percentage of error in the diagnosis of emergencies in pregnancies has not been studied in-depth. The purpose of this article is to review the most common emergencies in pregnancies, focusing the attention on errors in images. The topics covered are divided into gynecological and nongynecological, and for each pathology, the possible errors in the diagnostic pathway, the possible technical errors in the execution of the examination, and in the end, the possible errors in interpretation of the images have been dealt with. These last two entities are often connected, in the fact that a substandard examination can stem interpretation errors, but the systemization of the error is a valid approach in helping to learn from these errors, reducing the possibility that the same error can represent itself.

Di Nardo, Giovanni, Oliva, Salvatore, Passariello, Maurizio, Pallotta, Nadia, Civitelli, Fortunata, Frediani, Simone, Gualdi, Gianfranco, Gandullia, Paolo, Mallardo, Saverio, and Cucchiara, Salvatore

Abstract

Background: Endoscopic balloon dilation (EBD) is an attractive conservative therapy for Crohn''s disease (CD) with stricture; however, its long-term efficacy has been questioned because many patients require more dilations or postdilation surgery. Most reports are retrospective, and no pediatric data are available. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of corticosteroid intralesional injection after EBD in preventing stricture recurrence. Design: Single-center prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial. Setting: Tertiary-referral university hospital. Patients: Between November 2005 and January 2009, 29 pediatric patients with stricturing CD were enrolled. Interventions: Enrolled patients were randomized to receive intrastricture injection of corticosteroid (CS) (n = 15) or placebo (n = 14) after EBD. Patients were followed clinically via small intestine contrast US and intestinal magnetic resonance imaging at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months; all underwent colonoscopy 12 months after dilation. Main Outcome Measurements: Time free of repeat dilation and time free of surgery in the 2 groups. Results: One of the 15 patients receiving CS required redilation, whereas the latter was needed in 5 of the 14 placebo patients; surgery was needed in 4 of the placebo patients, but in none of those receiving CS. The 2 groups statistically differed in the time free of redilation (P = .04) as well as for time free of surgery after EBD (P = .02), which were worse in the placebo group compared with the CS group. There were no significant differences in baseline demographics between the 2 groups. Limitations: Sample size, participation bias, and short-term follow-up. Conclusion: In pediatric CD with stricture, intralesional CS injection after EBD is an effective strategy for reducing the need both for redilation and surgery. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

Abstract: Magnetic resonance imaging requested for a potentially serious indication, provided a unique opportunity to explore the intervillous circulation of placentas from pregnancies complicated by Intra Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) and to compare them to normal cases. This allowed an innovative characterization of in vivo utero-placental blood flow, correlating a compromised intervillous circulation in IUGR to the deterioration of fetal condition. MR imaging was requested to rule out suspected posterior placental adhesive disorders in 26 patients. Twelve patients had fetuses appropriate for gestational age, while in 14 patients fetuses were affected by severe IUGR. Multiphasic dynamic contrast-enhanced sagittal sequences were acquired and a quantitative analysis of signal intensity and enhancement kinetics was performed for both the entire placenta and for selected regions. Images disclosed a homogeneous perfusion overall the placenta in normal cases, while IUGR placentas displayed a slow intervillous blood flow, along with many patchy unperfused areas. Intermittent stops worsen the perfusion dynamics of the intervillous mostly in IUGR cases with an elevated ductus venosus pulsatility index. In conclusion, we proved that in IUGR placenta maternal placental blood flow is extremely compromised and that superimposed dynamic phenomena concur to worsen the intervillous circulation leading to an end-stage fetal decompensation.

Author

Abstract

Abstract: To date, there is very little information about the effects of ageing and sport selection on the characteristics of former athletes. The aim of this study was to analyse anthropometric and physiological characteristics of 146 former elite volleyball players in Italy. The possible effect of an active or inactive lifestyle on ageing was assessed by comparing the biological profiles of subsamples of former athletes with and without regular sport activity. All the former athletes underwent measurements of standard anthropometry (height, sitting height and body mass; skinfold thicknesses; bi-acromial and bi-cristal breadths; upper limb length; upper arm, calf and chest girths), cardio-respiratory function (vital capacity, forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1s; systolic and diastolic blood pressures and heart rate), muscle strength (handgrip strength), and cognitive function (visual and auditory simple reaction times; Digit-Symbol subtest). Body composition parameters were estimated from anthropometric measurements. Data on lifestyle were collected by questionnaires. The results show that the former players differ from current players in several anthropometric and physiological traits. Selection pressure seems to be more responsible for these differences than ageing. This study underlines the particular performance of former players in cognitive functions. Moreover, it confirms that an active lifestyle has beneficial effects on the biological age profiles of former athletes. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

Acute pancreatitis is one of the more commonly encountered etiologies in the emergency setting. While in the majority of cases it is a self-limiting disease which responds rapidly to conservative management, in some cases acute pancreatitis may present with a more pronounced, sometimes dramatic, clinical picture and requires immediate medical care to avoid fatal complication. In this context, imaging plays a significant role because it enables identification of the development of the disease and local/systemic complications. The purpose of this article is to offer an overview of the disease and a spectrum of imaging findings in patients with acute pancreatitis, emphasizing the role of ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging according to the appropriate clinical context and advantages and limitations of each imaging modality are examined.

Abstract

Abstract: Granulomatous prostatitis is a benign inflammatory condition of the prostate which can be mistaken for prostatic carcinoma both clinically and on imaging findings. In MR imaging, granulomatous prostatitis has been shown to cause signal intensity decrease in the prostatic peripheral zone similar to carcinoma on T2-weighted sequences. The recent introduction of 3D MR spectroscopy (3D MRS) into clinical practice adds information to the morphological data of endorectal MRI, enabling a more accurate localization and diagnosis of prostate cancer and chronic prostatitis. We describe two cases which had been diagnosed, respectively, 15 and 18 months earlier with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. They had subsequently been treated with a regimen of intravescical bacilli Calmette-Guerine (BCG). These two patients underwent combined endorectal MRI and 3D MRS imaging of the prostate in which findings were suggestive of prostatic carcinomas instead histological exam showed to be granulomatous prostatites.

Abstract

Introduction:Immunogenicity of antitumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) agents has been proven to play a significant role in the variability of clinical responses among patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. However, its clinical impact on the outcome of patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis receiving anti-TNFα treatment is not yet fully clear. Despite the high rates of efficacy of anti-TNFα agents in psoriasis, a substantial proportion of patients remain who experience a primary or secondary failure or significant side effects, which are potentially ascribable to immunogenicity.Areas covered:Topics include immunologic response elicited by anti-TNFα agents, the impact of immunogenicity on treatment response to anti-TNFα and the role played by immunogenicity in the lack of efficacy of anti-TNFα agents (infliximab, adalimumab and etanercept) in psoriasis.Expert opinion:Based on data available in the literature and the clinical experience of the authors, this article suggests the optimal approach to drug monitoring and antidrug antibody assay and the most effective use of biologic immunotherapies in this setting. Immunogenicity should be taken into account in the adoption of therapeutic choices in psoriatic patients, such as anti-TNFα agent intensification, or switching to another anti-TNFα agent or a drug with a different mechanism of action.

Abstract

Precipitation extremes are expected to increase in a warming climate; thus, it is essential to characterize their potential future changes. Here we evaluate eight high‐resolution global climate model simulations in the twentieth century and provide new evidence on projected global precipitation extremes for the 21st century. A significant intensification of daily extremes for all seasons is projected for the middle and high latitudes of both hemispheres at the end of the present century. For the subtropics and tropics, the lack of reliable and consistent estimations found for both the historical and future simulations might be connected with model deficiencies in the representation of organized convective systems. Low intermodel variability and good agreement with high‐resolution regional observations are found for the twentieth century winter over the Northern Hemisphere middle and high latitudes. Significant intensification of daily extreme precipitationNo reliable estimations for the subtropics and tropicsRemarkable seasonal and regional differences.

Abstract

Classically, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a disease of adults. The world literature revision shows that several pediatric cases have been reported so far; this might suggest that the number of infants with the condition might be larger than that estimated previously. Here, we report the 183rd case of histologically confirmed DFSP in young age. A 14-year-old white male patient came under our care for a slowly growing, pale brownish lesion on the neck skin. A biopsy specimen showed a DFSP. Subsequently, a wide surgery excision with 3 cm of resection margins including the underlying fascia was performed. To date, the patient has been in follow-up for 6 years without evidence of recurrent disease. The clinical features and treatment of DFSP diagnosed in childhood and adolescence reported in the published literature are reviewed to provide new insights about this rare entity. The aim is to emphasize the importance of biopsy for histologic evaluation in the cases that show a persistent or a large cutaneous plaque or nodule without pathognomonic clinical features that permit a clinical diagnosis. An accurate knowledge of the disease is the prerequisite for a wider recognition and appropriate treatment.
