Abstract

Background: Delirium is thought to be common across various settings of care; however, still little research has been conducted in rehabilitation. Aim: We investigated the prevalence of delirium, its features and motor subtypes in older patients admitted to rehabilitation facilities during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project”. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 1237 older patients (age ≥ 65 years old) admitted to 50 Italian rehabilitation wards during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project” (2015 to 2017) were included. Delirium was evaluated through the 4AT and its motor subtype with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. Results: Delirium was detected in 226 patients (18%), and the most recurrent motor subtype was mixed (37%), followed by hypoactive (26%), hyperactive (21%) and non-motor one (16%). In a multivariate Poisson regression model with robust variance, factors associated with delirium were: disability in basic (PR 1.48, 95%CI: 1.17–1.9, p value 0.001) and instrumental activities of daily living (PR 1.58, 95%CI: 1.08–2.32, p value 0.018), dementia (PR 2.10, 95%CI: 1.62–2.73, p value < 0.0001), typical antipsychotics (PR 1.47, 95%CI: 1.10–1.95, p value 0.008), antidepressants other than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (PR 1.3, 95%CI: 1.02–1.66, p value 0.035), and physical restraints (PR 2.37, 95%CI: 1.68–3.36, p value < 0.0001). Conclusion: This multicenter study reports that 2 out 10 patients admitted to rehabilitations had delirium on the index day. Mixed delirium was the most prevalent subtype. Delirium was associated with unmodifiable (dementia, disability) and modifiable (physical restraints, medications) factors. Identification of these factors should prompt specific interventions aimed to prevent or mitigate delirium.

Abstract

Background: Delirium is thought to be common across various settings of care; however, still little research has been conducted in rehabilitation. Aim: We investigated the prevalence of delirium, its features and motor subtypes in older patients admitted to rehabilitation facilities during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project”. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study in which 1237 older patients (age ≥ 65 years old) admitted to 50 Italian rehabilitation wards during the three editions of the “Delirium Day project” (2015 to 2017) were included. Delirium was evaluated through the 4AT and its motor subtype with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. Results: Delirium was detected in 226 patients (18%), and the most recurrent motor subtype was mixed (37%), followed by hypoactive (26%), hyperactive (21%) and non-motor one (16%). In a multivariate Poisson regression model with robust variance, factors associated with delirium were: disability in basic (PR 1.48, 95%CI: 1.17–1.9, p value 0.001) and instrumental activities of daily living (PR 1.58, 95%CI: 1.08–2.32, p value 0.018), dementia (PR 2.10, 95%CI: 1.62–2.73, p value < 0.0001), typical antipsychotics (PR 1.47, 95%CI: 1.10–1.95, p value 0.008), antidepressants other than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (PR 1.3, 95%CI: 1.02–1.66, p value 0.035), and physical restraints (PR 2.37, 95%CI: 1.68–3.36, p value < 0.0001). Conclusion: This multicenter study reports that 2 out 10 patients admitted to rehabilitations had delirium on the index day. Mixed delirium was the most prevalent subtype. Delirium was associated with unmodifiable (dementia, disability) and modifiable (physical restraints, medications) factors. Identification of these factors should prompt specific interventions aimed to prevent or mitigate delirium.

Abstract

Introduction Delirium and sarcopenia are common, although underdiagnosed, geriatric syndromes. Several pathological mechanisms can link delirium and low skeletal muscle mass, but few studies have investigated their association. We aimed to investigate (1) the association between delirium and low skeletal muscle mass and (2) the possible role of calf circumference mass in finding cases with delirium. Methods The analyses were conducted employing the cross-sectional “Delirium Day” initiative, on patient 65 years and older admitted to acute hospital medical wards, emergency departments, rehabilitation wards, nursing homes and hospices in Italy in 2017. Delirium was diagnosed as a 4 + score at the 4-AT scale. Low skeletal muscle mass was operationally defined as calf circumference ≤ 34 cm in males and ≤ 33 cm in females. Logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between low skeletal muscle mass and delirium. The discriminative ability of calf circumference was evaluated using non-parametric ROC analyses. Results A sample of 1675 patients was analyzed. In total, 73.6% of participants had low skeletal muscle mass and 24.1% exhibited delirium. Low skeletal muscle mass and delirium showed an independent association (OR: 1.50; 95% CI 1.09–2.08). In the subsample of patients without a diagnosis of dementia, the inclusion of calf circumference in a model based on age and sex significantly improved its discriminative accuracy [area under the curve (AUC) 0.69 vs 0.57, p Discussion and conclusion Low muscle mass is independently associated with delirium. In patients without a previous diagnosis of dementia, calf circumference may help to better identify those who develop delirium.

Abstract

Objectives Delirium is commonly seen in older adults with multimorbidity, during a hospitalization, resulting from the interplay between predisposing factors such as advanced age, frailty, and dementia, and a series of precipitating factors. The association between delirium and specific multimorbidity is largely unexplored so far although of potential key relevance for targeted interventions. The aim of the study was to check for a potential association of multimorbidity with delirium in a large cohort of older patients hospitalized for an acute medical or surgical condition. Design This is a cross-sectional study nested in the 2017 Delirium Day project. Setting and Participants The study includes 1829 hospitalized patients (age: 81.8, SD: 5.5). Of them, 419 (22.9%) had delirium. Methods Sociodemographic and medical history were collected. The 4AT was used to assess the presence of delirium. The Charlson Comorbidity index was used to assess multimorbidity. Results The results identified neurosensorial multimorbidity as the most prevalent, including patients with dementia, cerebrovascular diseases, and sensory impairments. In light of the highest co-occurrence of 3 neurosensorial chronic conditions, we could hypothesize that a baseline altered brain functional and neural connectivity might determine the vulnerability signature for incipient overall system disruption in presence of acute insults. Conclusions and Implications Eventually, our findings moved a step forward in supporting the key importance of routine screening for sensory impairments and cognitive status of older patients for the highest risk of in-hospital delirium. In fact, preventive interventions could be particularly relevant and effective in preventing delirium in such vulnerable populations and might help refining this early diagnosis.

Abstract

Background although frailty and delirium are among the most frequent and burdensome geriatric syndromes, little is known about their association and impact on short-term mortality. Objective to examine, in hospitalized older persons, whether frailty is associated with delirium, and whether these two conditions, alone or in combination, affect these patients’ 30-day survival. Design observational study nested in the Delirium Day project, with 30-day follow-up. Setting acute medical wards (n = 118) and rehabilitation wards (n = 46) in Italy. Subjects a total of 2,065 individuals aged 65+ years hospitalized in acute medical (1,484 patients, 71.9%) or rehabilitation (581 patients, 28.1%) wards. Methods a 25-item Frailty Index (FI) was created. Delirium was assessed using the 4AT test. Vital status was ascertained at 30 days. Results overall, 469 (22.7%) patients experienced delirium on the index day and 82 (4.0%) died during follow-up. After adjustment for potential confounders, each FI score increase of 0.1 significantly increased the odds of delirium (odds ratio, OR: 1.66 [95% CI: 1.45–1.90]), with no difference between the acute (OR: 1.65 [95% CI: 1.41–1.93]) and rehabilitation ward patients (OR: 1.71 [95% CI: 1.27–2.30]). The risk of dying during follow-up also increased significantly for every FI increase of 0.1 in the overall population (OR: 1.65 [95% CI: 1.33–2.05]) and in the acute medical ward patients (OR: 1.61 [95% CI: 1.28–2.04]), but not in the rehabilitation patients. Delirium was not significantly associated with 30-day mortality in either hospital setting. Conclusions in hospitalized older patients, frailty is associated with delirium and with an increased risk of short-term mortality.

Abstract

A study was conducted to examine the genes encoding PilA2 and PilC fimbrial proteins and XadA2 afimbrial adhesins in Xylella fastidiosa to understand their adhesion functions related to biofilm formation which is an essential step for colonization of a plant host or an insect vector. The proteins detected in bacteria colonizing the xylem vessels of infected plants confirmed the presence of proteins in X. fastidiosa biofilms and showed the genes to have differential regulation as the amounts varied temporally during biofilm formation as well as spatially within the biofilms.

Abstract

The most common interface formulations proposed in literature are generally based on the restrictive hypothesis of small strains and small displacements and, even though their application to geometrically nonlinear problems is of paramount interest, only few contributions are available in literature. Motivations are probably due to the difficulties encountered on such formulation, as already mentioned by several authors. A pioneering formulation is the finite displacement three-dimensional interface developed by Ortiz and Pandolfi in [1], where normal and tangential traction components are evaluated with respect to the middle surface in the current configuration, producing a non-symmetric geometric stiffness matrix. More recently, an interface element formulation for geometrical non-linearity and material nonlinearity, which is developed in the reference configuration, has been proposed by Reinoso and Paggi in [2]. The constitutive model is formulated on the local reference, defined by normal axis and tangential axis with respect to the middle surface in the current configuration. The interface formulation generates a non symmetric geometric stiffness matrix, which is simplified by neglecting the non symmetric contribution, in order to reduces computational cost by the use of symmetric solver. The state of the art of cohesive models for the material separation is presented by Mosler and Scheider in [3], focusing the attention on the thermodynamics and variational consistency. In [3] the authors state that many proposed models do not verify fundamental requirements such as thermodynamic principles, frame invariance, equilibrium conditions. Such problems are magnified for anisotropic models in geometrically nonlinear context. Attention is also focused on the unphysical dissipation produced in elastic paths due to unsymmetrical stiffness matrix. Some existing cohesive-zone models are analyzed under conditions of large displacement and large strain by Ottosen et al in [4], and CZMs are also evaluated with respect to thermodynamic consistency and the fundamental laws such as balance of angular momentum and frame invariance. It is shown that in elastic regime only isotropic models, with traction vector aligned to separation displacement vector, fulfill the physical principles, as already shown in [5]. In [6] some cohesive-zone models are compared at finite strain condition, by a wedge test and by a peel test. The paper [6] shows that some models available in literature, or implemented in commercial finite element codes, which integrate the weak form equilibrium condition over the current configuration, produce significant error in terms of fracture energy. On the contrary, models integrated over the reference configuration produce negligible numerical error. The present paper investigates reasons of the different results between current and reference integration schemes. It is shown that interface formulations integrated over current configuration violate energy conservation principle, due to the elastic energy generated by the finite interface elongation with constant elastic stiffness parameters. Moreover, an original mechanical interpretation of the elastic stiffness parameters, defined as a density of elastic springs between the two interface edges, can be considered an effective solution for interface integrated over the current configuration. In fact, the interface elongation modify the density of springs, as well as volume change modifies the mass density, and integration over current configuration and integration over the reference one produce two identical solutions. In the present paper the interface formulation is rigorously developed under large displacement conditions, assuming as local reference for the constitutive model, normal and tangential axes to the middle surface, as already proposed in [1]. The geometric operators in the current configuration, such as the normal and tangential axes to the middle surface and elongation of the middle surface, are defined as functions of nodal displacements, and first order and second order derivatives, with respect to nodal displacements, are developed. Finally, nodal force vector and consistent stiffness matrix are developed for a two-dimensional interface element, showing the symmetry condition of the geometric stiffness matrix, if the second order derivative are not neglected. The proposed interface formulation is implemented in the FEAP finite element code [7] and the cohesive formulation proposed in [8] is considered as constitutive model. Results of numerical some simulations are proposed with times of convergence obtained with a symmetric solver.

Abstract

The development of thrombotic disorders is a major threat for young women during pregnancy. It is one of the main causes of pregnancy-related disorders, which may also result in harm for the conceptus. Successful pregnancies require an even balance of coagulation and fibrinolysis, in order to secure stabilization of the basal plate as well as adequate placental perfusion. Broad spectrum assays which measure a range of thrombin/fibrin formation in serum have become an established means of identifying activation of blood coagulation and/or fibrinolysis. There is considerable interest in the application of these assays to the diagnosis of other hypercoagulable states, such as thrombophilia during pregnancy. We investigated coagulation/fibrinolysis parameters for significant differences between pregnant women during their gestation (first, second and third trimester) with or without pregnancy loss and healthy nonpregnant women.Thirty-nine pregnant women, aged 24-39 years, were studied. They were subdivided according to pregnancy trimester: 15 patients in the first trimester; 13 in the second and 11 in the third. The selection of patients was carried out in cooperation with the Transfusion Center of the Second University of Naples in order to obtain a homogeneous sample group. The control group included 400 healthy patients. Biochemical and blood coagulation tests were performed for each patient and the results obtained were compared with the control group.A decrease in free protein S (PS) and fibrinolysis (t-PA/PAI-1) activities and an increase in Factor VII, Factor VIII, prothrombin fragment 1+2 (F1+2), D-dimer (D-dimer) were observed in pregnant women during the follow-up of gestation. However, there were statistical differences between the groups of women with one or more pregnancy loss where it was found the lowest values in t-PA and PAI and the highest values in FVII and F1+2. Among subjects with more than one abortion, coagulation/fibrinolysis derangements before the partum were more prominent. A significant association exists between consecutive recurrent abortions and pregnancy complications such as placental abruption, hypertensive disorders and CS. This association persists after controlling for variables considered to coexist with recurrent abortions.These findings suggest that an excessive hypercoagulable state is associated with the termination of pregnancy resulting into a moderate risk for thrombosis during the different trimesters of pregnancy. The follow-up of fibrinolytic markers could represent a useful diagnostic tool for termination of pregnancy.

Abstract

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in healthy postmenopausal women. However recent studies suggest a 2-4 fold increased risk of idiopathic venous thromboembolism (VTE) among users of HRT. Our aim was to evaluate the overall effect of HRT on hemostatic variables probably related to increased VTE risk reported in epidemiological studies.

Abstract

HRT appears to be associated to a shift in the procoagulant-anticoagulant balance towards a procoagulant state. The changes in hemostatic system could explain the increased risk of VTE in healthy postmenopausal women during HRT, nevertheless this risk could be higher in women known to have a congenital or acquired thrombophilic state.

Abstract

In eight normal pregnant women and in eighteen women with a family history of diabetes, plasma calcitonin (CT), parathyroid hormone (PTH), insulin and glucagon variations and total plasma calcium levels were investigated. Calcitonin, parathyroid hormone and glucagon were all increased during the 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy in normal women (N.W.) and in women with a family history of diabetes (W.F.H.D.). Plasma calcitonin levels were statistically significantly different between the two groups only in the 3rd trimester (118 +/- 4.9 vs 139 +/- 3.6 pg/ml p less than 0.01 in N.W. and W.F.H.D. respectively). Total plasma calcium levels were decreased significantly in the 3rd trimester in both groups: 3rd vs 1st trimester p less than 0.005 and p less than 0.001 in N.W. and W.F.H.D. respectively. Statistically significant difference between the two groups in total insulinemic area (p less than 0.001), in the rapid phase area (p less than 0.01) and insulinogenic index (p less than 0.05) were observed in the 3rd trimester.

Abstract

The bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is a multihost pathogen that affects perennial crops such as grapevine, sweet orange, and olive tree worldwide. It is inherently difficult to study these pathosystems owing to the long-term growth habit of the host plant. Thus, the availability of model plants becomes essential to accelerate discoveries with economic impact. In this study, we uncovered evidence that the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana can be colonized by two different X. fastidiosa subspecies, pauca and fastidiosa. We observed that these bacteria are able to move away from the inoculation point as high bacterial populations were found in distant tissues. In addition, confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis of bacterial movement inside the petiole revealed the ability of the bacterium to move against the net xylem flow during the time course of colonization forming biofilm. These findings provide evidence for the capacity of X. fastidiosa to colonize Arabidopsis. Furthermore, leaves inoculated with X. fastidiosa showed a significant accumulation of anthocyanin. We propose that the X. fastidiosa subsp. pauca or fastidiosa colonization pattern and anthocyanin accumulation in the Arabidopsis ecotype Col-0 can be used as marker phenotypes to facilitate further studies aimed at improving genetic components involved in X. fastidiosa-host interaction.

Abstract

Abstract Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common infection in the intensive care unit (ICU) and associated with a high mortality. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted in a medical-surgical ICU. Multiple interventions to optimize VAP prevention were performed from October 2008 to December 2010. All of these processes, including the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s (IHI) ventilator bundle plus oral decontamination with chlorhexidine and continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions (CASS), were adopted for patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. Results We evaluated a total of 21,984 patient-days, and a total of 6,052 ventilator-days (ventilator utilization rate of 0.27). We found VAP rates of 1.3 and 2.0 per 1,000 ventilator days respectively in 2009 and 2010, achieving zero incidence of VAP several times during 12 months, whenever VAP bundle compliance was over 90%. Conclusion These results suggest that it is possible to reduce VAP rates to near zero and sustain these rates, but it requires a complex process involving multiple performance measures and interventions that must be permanently monitored.

Abstract

Background Pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated to high mortality rate worldwide. However, the diagnosis of PE often results inaccurate. Many cases of PE are incorrectly diagnosed or missed and they are often associated to sudden unexpected death (SUD). In forensic practice, it is important to establish the time of thrombus formation in order to determine the precise moment of death. The autopsy remains the gold standard method for the identification of death cause allowing the determination of discrepancies between clinical and autopsy diagnoses. The aim of our study was to verify the morphological and histological criteria of fatal cases of PE and evaluate the dating of thrombus formation considering 5 ranges of time. Methods Pulmonary vessels sections were collected from January 2010 to December 2017. Sections of thrombus sampling were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The content of infiltrated cells, fibroblasts and collagen fibers were scored using a semi-quantitative three-point scale of range values. Results The 30 autopsies included 19 males (63.3%) and 11 females (36.7%) with an average age of 64.5 ± 12.3 years. The time intervals were as follows: early (≤1 h), recent (> 1 h to 24 h), recent-medium (> 24 h to 48 h), medium (> 48 h to 72 h) and old (> 72 h). In the first hour, we histologically observed the presence of platelet aggregation by immunofluorescence method for factor VIII and fibrinogen. The presence of lymphocytes has been identified from recent thrombus (> 1 h to 24 h) and the fibroblast cells were peripherally located in vascular tissue between 48 and 72 h, whereas they resulted central and copious after 72 h. Conclusions After a macroscopic observation and a good sampling traditional histology, it is important to identify the time of thrombus formation. We identified histologically a range of time in the physiopathology of the thrombus (early, recent, recent-medium, medium, old), allowing to determine the dating of thrombus formation and the exact time of death.

Abstract

Given the large number and diverse types of PTSD symptoms, examination of subtypes within the comprehensive PTSD criteria is necessary. This is especially true for subpopulations of active-duty service members such as specialized military units that undergo assessment and selection, receive extensive training, and have significant operational experience and trauma exposure. The current study identified PTSD subtypes in 16,284 U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) personnel who completed the Preservation of the Force and Family Needs Assessment Survey. Results identified a 4-profile solution. When stratifying the sample by occupation type (Operator vs Support), findings suggest that SOF Support personnel symptom presentations are primarily characterized by dysphoric and negative alterations in cognitions and mood symptoms. In contrast, SOF Operator personnel symptoms are best characterized by traditional profiles, consistent with the existing PTSD subtype literature. Results provide support for pursuing precision medicine approaches based on PTSD symptom profiles., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors have no conflict of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2024.

Abstract

Background: The correct identification of the appropriateness of fluid administration is important for the treatment of critically ill patients. Static and dynamic indices used to identify fluid responsiveness have been developed throughout the years, nonetheless fluid responsiveness does not indicate that fluid administration is appropriate, and indexes to evaluate appropriateness of fluid administration are lacking. The aim of this study was to evaluate if central venous pressure (CVP) anddynamic indices could correctly identify fluid appropriateness for critically ill patients., Methods: Data from 31 ICU patients, for a total of 53 observations, was included in the analysis. Patients were divided into two cohorts based on the appropriateness of fluid administration. Fluid appropriateness was defined in presence of a low cardiac index (< 2.5 l/min/m2) without any sign of fluid overload, as assessed by global end-diastolic volume index, extravascular lung water index or pulmonary artery occlusion pressure., Results: For 10 patients, fluid administration was deemed appropriate, while for 21 patients it was deemed inappropriate. Central venous pressure was not different between the two cohorts (mean CVP 11 (4) mmHg in the fluid inappropriate group, 12 (4) mmHg in the fluid appropriate group, p 0.58). The same is true for pulse pressure variation (median PPV 5 [2, 9] % in the fluid inappropriate group, 4 [3, 13] % in the fluid appropriate group, p 0.57), for inferior vena cava distensibility (mean inferior vena cava distensibility 24 (14) % in the fluid inappropriate group, 22 (16) % in the fluid appropriate group, p 0.75) and for changes in end tidal carbon dioxide during a passive leg raising test (median d.ETCO2 1.5 [0.0, 2.0]% in the fluid inappropriate group, 1.0 [0.0, 2.0] % in the fluid appropriate group, p 0.98). There was no association between static and dynamic indices and fluid appropriateness., Conclusions: Central venous pressure, pulse pressure variation, changes in end tidal carbon dioxide during a passive leg raising test, inferior vena cava distensibility were not associated with fluid appropriateness in our cohorts., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2023 Prezioso et al.

Abstract

Although combat has been found to be associated with adverse health outcomes, little is known about the impact of specific combat exposures, particularly among specialized personnel. This study examined the association of different types of combat exposures with behavioral health outcomes, and whether these associations differed by Army occupational specialization: General Purpose Forces infantrymen (n = 5,361), Ranger Qualified infantrymen (n = 308), and Special Forces personnel (n = 593). Multivariable regression models estimated the association of combat severity, type of combat event (fighting, killing, threat to oneself, death/injury of others), and type of killing with mental health disorders, trouble sleeping, and problem drinking. Combat severity, each type of combat event, and killing noncombatants were associated with adverse health outcomes after adjusting for covariates and other combat exposures. Except for trouble sleeping, these associations did not differ by occupational specialization, though the prevalence and odds of outcomes were generally lower for Special Forces personnel., Competing Interests: Leidos, Inc and Innovative Employee Solutions provided financial support in the form of salaries for some authors.

Abstract

Citrus canker is a destructive disease caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri , which affects all commercial sweet orange ( Citrus sinensis [L.] Osbeck) cultivars. Salicylic acid (SA) and systemic-acquired resistance (SAR) have been demonstrated to have a crucial role in mediating plant defense responses against this phytopathogen. To induce SAR, SA is converted to methyl salicylate (MeSA) by an SA-dependent methyltransferase (SAMT) and translocated systemically to prime noninfected distal tissues. Here, we generated sweet orange transgenic plants (based on cvs. Hamlin and Valencia) overexpressing the SAMT gene from Citrus ( CsSAMT ) and evaluated their resistance to citrus canker. We obtained four independent transgenic lines and confirmed their significantly higher MeSA volatilization compared to wild-type controls. Plants overexpressing CsSAMT showed reduced symptoms of citrus canker and bacterial populations in all transgenic lines without compromising plant development. One representative transgenic line (V44SAMT) was used to evaluate resistance response in primary and secondary sites. Without inoculation, V44SAMT modulated CsSAMT , CsNPR1 , CsNPR3 , and CsWRKY22 expression, indicating that this plant is in a primed defense status. The results demonstrate that MeSA signaling prompts the plant to respond more efficiently to pathogen attacks and induces immune responses in transgenic plants at both primary and secondary infection sites., 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 © 2022 Nascimento, Teixeira-Silva, Caserta, Marques, Takita and de Souza.)

Abstract

Type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are widespread in bacteria and are involved in important cell features, such as cell growth inhibition and antimicrobial tolerance, through the induction of persister cells. Overall, these characteristics are associated with bacterial survival under stress conditions and represent a significant genetic mechanism to be explored for antibacterial molecules. We verified that even though Xylella fastidiosa and Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri share closely related genomes, they have different Type II TA system contents. One important difference is the absence of mqsRA in X. citri. The toxin component of this TA system has been shown to inhibit the growth of X. fastidiosa. Thus, the absence of mqsRA in X. citri led us to explore the possibility of using the MqsR toxin to impair X. citri growth. We purified MqsR and confirmed that the toxin was able to inhibit X. citri. Subsequently, transgenic citrus plants producing MqsR showed a significant reduction in citrus canker and citrus variegated chlorosis symptoms caused, respectively, by X. citri and X. fastidiosa. This study demonstrates that the use of toxins from TA systems is a promising strategy to be explored aiming bacterial control., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

Abstract

Background: The ratio of dead space to tidal volume (V D /V T ) is associated with mortality in patients with ARDS. Corrected minute ventilation ([Formula: see text]) is a simple surrogate of dead space, but, despite its increasing use, its association with mortality has not been proven. The aim of our study was to assess the association between [Formula: see text] and hospital mortality. We also compared the strength of this association with that of estimated V D /V T and ventilatory ratio., Methods: We performed a retrospective study with prospectively collected data. We evaluated 187 consecutive mechanically ventilated subjects with ARDS caused by novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The association between [Formula: see text] and hospital mortality was assessed in multivariable logistic models. The same was done for estimated V D /V T and ventilatory ratio., Results: Mean ± SD [Formula: see text] was 11.8 ± 3.3 L/min in survivors and 14.5 ± 3.9 L/min in nonsurvivors ( P < .001) and was independently associated with mortality (adjusted odds ratio 1.15, P = .01). The strength of association of [Formula: see text] with mortality was similar to that of V D /V T and ventilatory ratio., Conclusions: [Formula: see text] was independently associated with hospital mortality in subjects with ARDS caused by COVID-19. [Formula: see text] could be used at the patient's bedside for outcome prediction and severity stratification, due to the simplicity of its calculation. These findings need to be confirmed in subjects with ARDS without viral pneumonia and when lung-protective mechanical ventilation is not rigorously applied., Competing Interests: The authors have disclosed no conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2021 by Daedalus Enterprises.)

Abstract

Objectives: Early tracheotomy, defined as a procedure performed within 10 days from intubation, is associated with more ventilator free days, shorter ICU stay, and lower mortality than late tracheotomy. During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, it was especially important to save operating room resources and to have a shorter ICU stay for patients, when ICUs had insufficient beds. In this context of limited resources, early percutaneous tracheostomy could be an effective way to manage mechanically ventilated patients. Nevertheless, current recommendations suggest delaying or avoiding the tracheotomy in coronavirus disease 2019 patients. Aim of the study was to analyze the hospital mortality of coronavirus disease 2019 patients who had received early percutaneous tracheostomy and factors associated with removal of tracheostomy cannula at ICU discharge., Design: Cohort study., Setting: Coronavirus disease 2019 ICU., Patients: Adult patients with coronavirus disease 2019 3 days after ICU admission., Interventions: None., Measurements and Main Results: Three days after ICU admission, 164 patients were present in ICU and included in the analysis. One-hundred and twenty-one patients (74%) were tracheostomized, whereas the other 43 (26%) were managed with translaryngeal intubation only. In multivariable analysis, early percutaneous tracheostomy was associated with lower hospital mortality. Sixty-six of tracheostomized patients (55%) were discharged alive from the hospital. Age and male sex were the only characteristics that were independently associated with mortality in the tracheostomized patients (45.5% and 62.8% in tracheostomized and nontracheostomized patients, respectively; p = 0.009). Tracheostomy tube was removed in 47 of the tracheostomized patients (71%). The only variable independently associated with weaning from tracheostomy at ICU discharge was a faster start of spontaneous breathing after tracheotomy was performed., Conclusions: Early percutaneous tracheostomy was safe and effective in coronavirus disease 2019 patients, giving a good chance of survival and of weaning from tracheostomy cannula at ICU discharge., Competing Interests: The authors have disclosed that they do not have any potential conflicts of interest., (Copyright © 2020 by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

Abstract

Objective : Rates of behavioral health disorders and potential protective factors in U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) have not been well studied, including differences between Operators and Support personnel, despite very high levels of combat exposure in these military personnel. The present study examined the prevalence of endorsed behavioral health problems and protective factors within a large sample of SOF personnel. Method : Anonymized data from 16,284 active duty SOF Service members from the 2016 Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) needs survey were analyzed. Results : Overall, the prevalence of PTSD (7.6%), depression (8.4%), alcohol misuse (12.8%), and nicotine use (28%) were comparable or lower than reported in conventional military populations. There were significant differences between Operators and Support personnel in a number of demographic and service-related variables. Operators also endorsed more direct combat exposure and scored higher on resilience and social support, and reported better quality and quantity of sleep. There were no significant group differences in rates of PTSD and depression, except lower odds (adjusted OR = 0.81) for alcohol problems in Support personnel (11.6%) compared to Operators (14.0%), p <.001, 95% CI [0.72, 0.91]. Conclusions : SOF personnel experience considerably higher exposure to combat deployments than conventional forces, yet the data from this study showed comparable or lower levels of behavioral health conditions. Although Operators were somewhat more likely than Support personnel to experience alcohol problems, they showed enhanced resilience, social support, and sleep health. Alcohol misuse is one potential target for preventive health efforts.
