Abstract

We investigated the Late Pleistocene-Holocene crustal vertical movements off the coast of Marzamemi village in SE Sicily, Italy. By using a Synchronous Correlation Approach (SCA), we analysed terraced landforms that characterize a submerged sector within one of Southern Italy's most seismically active regions. In this area, the emerging portion of the NE-SW oriented bulge of the African foreland structurally shapes the coastal and marine regions off Marzamemi village. Based on a newly created 17 km2 high-resolution bathymetric map generated from a Multibeam Echosounder (MBES) survey conducted in June 2021, we identified and examined four main paleo-shorelines identifying four submerged terraces. Terraced landforms play a crucial role in reconstructing Quaternary glacial and interglacial stages, offering insights into associated sea level fluctuations. Through the application of the SCA, our goal is to refine the chronology of these recently mapped and submerged marine terraces off the Marzamemi village, thereby contributing to the calculation of associated rates of crustal vertical movements. We demonstrate that these rates persist constantly throughout the Late Pleistocene-Holocene epoch, suggesting overall tectonic stability, with a slight and likely local fault-related subsidence. We explore a few chronology scenarios, raising questions about whether these submerged marine terraces are indeed recording the Late Pleistocene-Holocene limit or not. This research contributes to a better understanding of the geological dynamics in this region and sheds light on the potential factors influencing coastal landscape development over time.

Abstract

Late Quaternary crustal uplift is well recognized in northeast Sicily, southern Italy, a region also prone to damaging earthquakes such as the 1908 "Messina" earthquake (Mw 7.1), the deadliest seismic event reported within the Italian Earthquake Catalogue. Yet it is still understudied if, within the Milazzo Peninsula, crustal uplift rates are varying spatially and temporally and whether they may be either influenced by (i) local upper‐plate faulting activity or (ii) deep geodynamic processes. To investigate the long‐term crustal vertical movements in northeast Sicily, we have mapped a flight of Middle‐Late Pleistocene marine terraces within the Milazzo Peninsula and in its southern area and refined their chronology, using a synchronous correlation approach driven by published age controls. This has allowed a new calculation of the associated crustal uplift rates, along a north–south oriented coastal‐parallel transect within the investigated area. Our results show a decreasing uplift rate from south to north across the Milazzo Peninsula and beyond, and that the associated rates of uplift have been constant through the Late Quaternary. This spatially varying yet temporally constant vertical deformation helps to constrain the amount of uplift, allowing us to explore which is the driving mechanism(s), proposing a few related scenarios. We discuss our results in terms of tectonic implications and emphasize the importance of using appropriate approaches, as such applying a synchronous correlation method, to refine chronologies of undated palaeoshorelines when used for tectonic investigations.

Abstract

The ‘plastisphere’, the diverse microbial community growing on the surface of floating plastic debris, represents a new artificial habitat for drifting aquatic organisms. Despite the presence of microalgae within this epiplastic biofilm has been documented, it is still unclear how these materials influence the structure and dynamics of microalgae communities, in particular in freshwater ecosystems. Here, we present the first results of the 4th collaborative FreshProject "PhytoPlastic". The project is aimed at investigating the temporal establishment of phytobenthos on different plastic polymers in lakes over a wide geographical scale. We incubated two widely used plastic polymers (low-density polyethylene-LDPE, polyethylene terephthalate-PET) and glass substrates (as control) in 14 lakes across Europe. To assess the temporal and seasonal evolution of the colonisation, samples were collected in each season after 3, 7, 15, and 30 days. For each substrate, we assessed the phytobenthic biomass estimating the chlorophyll a, and the ash-free dry mass. Moreover, microalgae composition was taxonomically determined on a subset of samples. This project represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first coordinated experiment conducted at a large spatial scale that explores the microalgae-plastic interaction. We will thereby generate a unique dataset, providing additional knowledge about the key drivers of the processes involved. Besides the valuable scientific knowledge, the project represents a large collaboration among early career researchers in freshwater sciences and will set the basis for further partnerships.

Abstract

Background: During the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic wave, an unprecedented number of patients with respiratory failure due to a new, highly contagious virus needed hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The aim of the present study was to describe the communication and visiting policies of Italian intensive care units (ICUs) during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave and national lockdown and compare these data with prepandemic conditions. Methods: A national web-based survey was conducted among 290 Italian hospitals. Each ICU (active between February 24 and May 31, 2020) was encouraged to complete an individual questionnaire inquiring the hospital/ICU structure/organization, communication/visiting habits and the role of clinical psychology prior to, and during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave. Results: Two hundred and nine ICUs from 154 hospitals (53% of the contacted hospitals) completed the survey (202 adult and 7 pediatric ICUs). Among adult ICUs, 60% were dedicated to COVID-19 patients, 21% were dedicated to patients without COVID-19 and 19% were dedicated to both categories (Mixed). A total of 11,102 adult patients were admitted to the participating ICUs during the study period and only approximately 6% of patients received at least one visit. Communication with family members was guaranteed daily through an increased use of electronic devices and was preferentially addressed to the same family member. Compared to the prepandemic period, clinical psychologists supported physicians more often regarding communication with family members. Fewer patients received at least one visit from family members in COVID and mixed-ICUs than in non-COVID ICUs, l (0 [0-6]%, 0 [0-4]% and 11 [2-25]%, respectively, p < 0.001). Habits of pediatric ICUs were less affected by the pandemic. Conclusions: Visiting policies of Italian ICUs dedicated to adult patients were markedly altered during the first COVID-19 wave. Remote communication was wi

Abstract

Background: Percutaneous pedicle screw (PPS) placement is a key step in several minimally invasive spinal surgery (MISS) procedures. Traditional technique for PPS makes use of C-arm fluoroscopy assistance (FA). More recently, newer intraoperative imaging techniques have been developed for PPS, including CT-guided navigation (CTNav). The aim of this study was to compare FA and CTNav techniques for PPS with regard to accuracy, complications, and radiation dosage. Materials and methods: A total of 192 patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis and canal stenosis who underwent MISS posterior fusion ± interbody fusion through transforaminal approach (TLIF) were retrospectively reviewed. Pedicle screws were placed percutaneously using either standard C-arm fluoroscopy guidance (FA group) or CT navigation (CTNav group). Intraoperative effective dose (ED, mSv) was measured. Screw placement accuracy was assessed postoperatively on a CT scan using Gertzbein and Robbins classification (grades A–E). Oswestry disability index (ODI) and visual analog scale (VAS) scores were compared in both groups before and after surgery. Results: A total of 101 and 91 procedures were performed with FA (FA group) and CTNav approach (CTNav group), respectively. Median age was 61 years in both groups, and the most commonly treated level was L4–L5. Median ED received from patients was 1.504 mSv (0.494–4.406) in FA technique and 21.130 mSv (10.840–30.390) in CTNav approach (p < 0.001). Percentage of grade A and B screws was significantly higher for the CTNav group (96.4% versus 92%, p < 0.001), whereas there were 16 grade E screws in the FA group and 0 grade E screws in the CTNav group (p < 0.001). A total of seven and five complications were reported in the FA and CTNav group, respectively (p = 0.771). Conclusions: CTNav technique increases accuracy of pedicle screw placement compared with FA technique without affecting operative time. Nevertheless, no significant d

Abstract

A new model of numerical dosimetry is proposed for RF exposure. First, the specific absorption rate (SAR) is computed. Then, the heat transfer governed by the bio-heat equation with convection term is numerically solved by a finite-element method (FEM) procedure considering the discrete vascular model of the perfused tissue. By some manipulations of the FEM equations and by generating an adequate FEM mesh, it is possible to solve the thermal convection in the blood vessels considering a one-dimensional domain embedded in the fully three-dimensional domain where only the thermal diffusion is analyzed. Index Terms--Bio-heat equation, discrete vascular model, finite-element method (FEM), numerical dosimetry.

Abstract

A thin film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) used in the RF frequency region of a few gigahertz is considered and its impedance is evaluated by using a harmonic analysis with the three-dimensional finite element method. In particular, the spurious characteristics caused by variations in the electrode area, as well as all the resonant modes and the mode shapes are analyzed. A design procedure is presented by using a prediction software tool. An experimental prototype is built and the measured results are compared to the numerical ones. Index Terms--Film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR), finite element analysis, multiphysics, piezoelectric material.

Abstract

Objectives Few studies have analyzed factors associated with delirium subtypes. In this study, we investigate factors associated with subtypes of delirium only in patients with dementia to provide insights on the possible prevention and treatments. Design This is a cross-sectional study nested in the "Delirium Day" study, a nationwide Italian point-prevalence study. Setting and participants Older patients admitted to 205 acute and 92 rehabilitation hospital wards. Measures Delirium was evaluated with the 4-AT and the motor subtypes with the Delirium Motor Subtype Scale. Dementia was defined by the presence of a documented diagnosis in the medical records and/or prescription of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors or memantine prior to admission. Results Of the 1057 patients with dementia, 35% had delirium, with 25.6% hyperactive, 33.1% hypoactive, 34.5% mixed, and 6.7% nonmotor subtype. There were higher odds of having venous catheters in the hypoactive (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.18-2.81) and mixed type of delirium (OR 2.23, CI 1.43-3.46), whereas higher odds of urinary catheters in the hypoactive (OR 2.91, CI 1.92-4.39), hyperactive (OR 1.99, CI 1.23-3.21), and mixed types of delirium (OR 2.05, CI 1.36-3.07). We found higher odds of antipsychotics both in the hyperactive (OR 2.87, CI 1.81-4.54) and mixed subtype (OR 1.84, CI 1.24-2.75), whereas higher odds of antibiotics was present only in the mixed subtype (OR 1.91, CI 1.26-2.87). Conclusions and implications In patients with dementia, the mixed delirium subtype is the most prevalent followed by the hypoactive, hyperactive, and nonmotor subtype. Motor subtypes of delirium may be triggered by clinical factors, including the use of venous and urinary catheters, and the use of antipsychotics. Future studies are necessary to provide further insights on the possible pathophysiology of delirium in patients with dementia and to address the optimization of the management of potential risk factors.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Sub-trochanteric fractures are among the most challenging for trauma surgeons. The purpose of this study was to analyze our own experience about subtrochanteric fractures. We focused on functional and radiographic outcomes after intramedullary locked nail fixation with or without cerclage assist. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis on subtrochanteric fractures managed from January 2016 to April 2021 was conducted. Patients treated by closed reduction and intramedullary nail fixation were enrolled in Group A, while Group B included those patients who underwent wire-assisted intramedullary nail fixation. All patients performed clinical and radiological follow-up and complications were analyzed. The significance was established for a value of p < 0.05. RESULTS: 80 patients were included in the present study. The mean age was 74.2 (+/-19.2) years. The mean surgical time was 84.7 (+/-24.6) and 254.7 (+/-80.2) minutes in Group A and Group B, respectively. The mean blood loss was 87.3 (+/-18.3) ml in Group A and 224.4 (+/-37.8) ml in Group B. Quality of reduction was mainly superior in Group B. The mean time of union was 4.2 (+/-1.4) months in Group A and 3.4 (+/-2.1) months in Group B. Statistical differences were observed in Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and in the Short Form 12 (SF-12) after 6 and 12 months of follow-up with better results in Group B. The complication rate was 18.2% in Group A and 12.2% in Group B. CONCLUSIONS: We recommend the use of wires when acceptable closed reduction cannot be obtained because its use may be useful for medial wall stability. For elderly patients, closed reduction may be more appropriate as the quality of life and functional recovery between the two methods is almost overlapped. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Aim: To report clinical and radiographic results of treatment of patients with complex open tibial pilon fractures. Methods: A retrospective analysis in 14 patients with complex open pilon fractures treated between 2010 and 2015 was conducted. The injuries were graded according to AO Classification and the Gustillo-Anderson system. Routine follow-up was performed at 1, 3, 6, 12 month with an annual evaluation thereafter. All patients were included for the assessment of the rate of infection, wound and fracture-healing. Functional outcome assessment was performed in all patients according to the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Score (AOFAS) at 12 months after the injury. The radiological outcome was evaluated through standard XR using the criteria proposed by Burwell and Charnley. Results: Analysis were conducted in 12 men and 2 women, with a mean age of 50.4 years (20–77) who were followed up for an average 34 months (range: 9–60 months). All patients had a AO type 43C fracture. There were three Gustilo Type IIIA injuries, seven Type III B and four Type III C. The mean time to fracture healing was 6.3 months. 4 patients underwent definitive treatment with external fixation at the time of the initial irrigation and debridement. 10 patients underwent delayed definitive surgery: in 10 patients ORIF was used. Soft-tissue coverage by vascularized muscle flap was necessary in 4 patients (28%) and was typically performed on the day of definitive fixation. One patient required iliac crest bone-grafting. 4 patients (28%) had a deep infection.6 patients (43%) had a superficial pin infection or cellulitis. 6 patients (43%) presented delayed union. The average AOFAS score was 71.5 (40–95). According to the Burwell-Charnley score, the anatomical reduction of the fracture was obtained in 50% of patients and a good reduction in 86% of cases. 5 patients (35.7%) had loss of joint congruity and evidence of osteoarthritis on radiographs at final follow-up. No patient needed arthrod

Abstract

Highly structured and refined, but flexible tools are needed to deal with issues as the information management on the web and the semantic interoperability. Many issues in the field of knowledge organisation and information management can be traced back to meaning delimitation. There are opposite needs and tendencies: on one hand there’s the necessity to share a common and stable meaning of the terms in order to guarantee communication within a community. On the other hand, openness to further exploration of meaning should also be ensured to do not impoverish its richness and complexity. The term “benzene” could be defined in different ways. A biologist may consider its toxicity and the different routes on which it can enter an organism. An engineer would consider it as a fuel for combustion engine. A physicist may see it as a volatile and inflammable liquid. A fire brigade can consider benzene as a dangerous inflammable substance that cannot be extinguished by water, but only with foam. A chemist may see it as the precursor of a class of chemical compounds, etc. Benzene could be thus defined in several different ways depending on the context in which it is considered. But we should also underline that all these definitions share a common premise: “benzene” is first of all a substance (that can have toxic effects, be used as fuel, that can also cause accidents, etc.). This semantic trait seems to be unavoidable. Starting from this premise and referring also to suggestions coming from the development of applied ontologies a new environmental thesaurus format containing some innovative elements has been designed and is currently available. The goal is the development of a thesaurus aiming to become an advanced tool to be applied for environmental information management, to sustain environmental policy and research. To achieve this result EARTh has been conceived as a tool able to deal with the specific features of the environment sector (multidisciplinary character, high complexity, bio-cultural implications, etc.). In this paper the EARTh component dealing with environmental pollution and heath is presented.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Acrometastases are a rare observation, and account for approximately 0.1% of metastases. Every age can be affected, with a male predominance. The most common primary cancer site is the lung, followed by the colo-rectal, breast and genito-urinary tract. They are most commonly seen in pre-terminal patients with wide-spread disseminated disease. Rarely, they may be the first presentation of occult silent cancer, mimicking a benign condition. There is no standard treatment. We reviewed last 20 years literature in order to describe the most common sites of primary tumours and the more commonly used treatments.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched the Cochrane Central Library (CENTRAL), MEDLINE/PubMed (from 1940 to February 2014), SCOPUS database, and EMBASE/Ovid using a combination of controlled vocabulary and text word terms.RESULTS: Lung cancer was the first most common cause of acrometastases both in hands and feet, with 32.9% of all the cases; 20% of cases were renal cell cancer (RCC) metastases, followed by breast (12.9%) and colon (10%). Primary malignancies and site of metastasis (hand vs foot) suggest that the tumour cells reach the bones through the circulation and not the lymphatic system; in foot acrometastases Batson's plexus may play a fundamental role in dissemination.CONCLUSIONS: Treatment depends on staging and tumor extent. Amputation or disarticulation is the most common approach. It allows a wide margin resection and pain control. In some cases palliative treatment with radiation therapy, bisphosphonates and chemotherapy have been attempted with good results. The prognosis of the patients with acrometastases is poor; the mean survival time after diagnosis is 7 (+/- 7) months. Special reference needs to be made to metastasis from renal cell carcinoma; if treated with radical surgical resection and nephrectomy a better outcome and survival rate shall be expected.
