Abstract

Background Physical therapies have been recommended as crucial components in Parkinson's disease (PD) rehabilitation. Objective The study aims to examine the effectiveness of a new dance-physiotherapy combined intervention, called DArT method, in mild PD patients. Methods A prospective, randomized, single-blind, controlled pilot trial was conducted on 38 mild PD patients under dopaminergic therapy. The intervention consisted in an add-on protocol: the control group received 1 h of conventional physiotherapy followed by 1 h of conventional physiotherapy each day, 3 times a week, for 5 weeks. The experimental group received 1 h of conventional physiotherapy followed by 1 h of dance class each day, 3 times a week, for 5 weeks. The week before and after the training period, patients were assessed for motor, cognitive, emotional, and sensory components of PD, with MDS-UPDRS-III as primary outcome measure. Results DArT method was associated with a 2.72-point reduction in the post-treatment MDS-UPDRS-III total score compared to control group (95% CI - 5.28, - 0.16, p = 0.038, d = 0.71), and with a 2.16-point reduction in the post-treatment MDS-UPDRS-III upper body subscore (95% CI - 3.56, - 0.76, p = 0.003, d = 1.02). Conversely, conventional physiotherapy program was associated with a 2.95-point reduction in the post-treatment trait anxiety compared to the experimental group (95% CI 0.19, 5.71, p = 0.037, d = 0.70). Withdrawal and fall rates were equal to 0% in both groups. Conclusion DArT method showed to be safe, well accepted, and more effective than an intensive program of conventional physiotherapy in improving motor impairment in mild PD.

Abstract

Heart failure (HF) is characterized by a high prevalence and hospitalization rate with considerable health and social impact; the knowledge of its epidemiological features remains the mainstay to assess adequacy of the health care needs. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of HF in Internal Medicine Units of the Campania region (Italy) and patients’ characteristics. We recruited all patients with HF admitted between April 1 and June 30, 2014, in 23 Units of Internal Medicine: 975 patients (19.5% of 5000 admissions), 518 women and 457 men, mean age 76.9±9.9 (range 34-100) with 741 (76%) older than 70 years. The mean age was higher in women than men; 35.8% of patients had atrial fibrillation, with higher prevalence in women than in men. Coronary artery disease represented the leading etiology while prevalence of non-ischemic heart failure was higher in women. New York Heart Association class was indicated in 926 patients. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was measured in 503 patients; 18.4% of patients had a severely reduced LVEF40%. At least one hospital admission in the previous 12 months was registered in 39.6% of patients. One, two and more than two relevant comorbidities were present in 8.6%, 24.7% and 64.8% of patients, respectively. Arterial hypertension and coronary artery disease were more frequent in female. In conclusion, advanced age and clinical complexity were the main characteristics of HF patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine Units in Campania. Gender differences also emerged from the analysis of demographic parameters and etiopathogenetic features. Some diagnostic and therapeutic aspects not in line with that recommended by the most recent HF international guidelines were registered.

Abstract

Background Current guidelines suggest to consider dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) continuation for longer than 12 months in selected patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Hypothesis We sought to assess the criteria used by cardiologists in daily practice to select patients with a history of MI eligible for DAPT continuation beyond 1 year. Methods We analyzed data from the EYESHOT Post-MI, a prospective, observational, nationwide study aimed to evaluate the management of patients presenting to cardiologists 1 to 3 years from the last MI event. Results Out of the 1633 post-MI patients enrolled in the study between March and December 2017, 557 (34.1%) were on DAPT at the time of enrolment, and 450 (27.6%) were prescribed DAPT after cardiologist assessment. At multivariate analyses, a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with multiple stents and the presence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) resulted as independent predictors of DAPT continuation, while atrial fibrillation was the only independent predictor of DAPT interruption for patients both at the second and the third year from MI at enrolment and the time of discharge/end of the visit. Conclusions Risk scores recommended by current guidelines for guiding decisions on DAPT duration are underused and misused in clinical practice. A PCI with multiple stents and a history of PAD resulted as the clinical variables more frequently associated with DAPT continuation beyond 1 year from the index MI.

Abstract

In this paper, an equivalent network model for transformer analysis including hysteretic effects is presented. The nonlinear electromagnetic problem is reduced to the analysis of an equivalent network by integrating Ohm's law inside every elementary volume into which the solid bodies of the examined system are subdivided. The model allows the analysis of the electromagnetic field distribution for the evaluation of local saturation effects by using fine discretizations. Furthermore it gives a simple and efficient equivalent circuit of the transformer for external effects determination by using coarse discretizations. Hysteresis effects in the steady state case can be taken into account by an equivalent hysteretic loop obtained from standard measurements. The method has been tested by comparison with experimental data.

Abstract

In this paper an equivalent network model for the three-dimensional analysis of an EML plasma armature is presented. We decompose the plasma armature in elementary volume elements in which a uniform distribution of the current density, momentum density and heat flux Is assumed. A first equivalent electric network is obtained for the determination of the current density and magnetic field distribution in the plasma arc at each time step. Assuming the same plasma arc decomposition, and defining a formal analogy between thermodynamic and electric quantities in the momentum and mass conservation equations, we obtain a second equivalent electric network that allows the determination of the pressure and the mass density distribution and the internal motions in the plasma arc at each time step. Adopting the same procedure, we obtain another equivalent network from the energy equation that allows the determination of the temperature in the plasma arc at each time step. The ionisation coefficient distribution is calculated from Saha's equation. Considering an isothermal plasma with no ablation, calculated results are reported to show the influence of the 3-D model on the distributions of the main thermodynamic quantities of the plasma arc.

Abstract

In this paper the performances of an electromagnetic launch system constituted by an arc driven railgun powered by a MHD generator are investigated. A small bore plasma driven railgun for fusion fuel pellet injection is examined considering as pulse power source a MHD generator having characteristics taken from operating devices. The analysis of the railgun and generator has been carried out by means of a lumped parameter equivalent network model that takes into account drag force and ablation effects and allows the evaluation of the main electrical and thermodynamic quantity distributions of the plasma arc.

Abstract

The analytical expression of the time behaviour of the current density due to a electric discharge on a three dimensional conducting slab has been obtained by means of an analytical method. The electric discharge is modeled by a current pulse injected in the slab. The current injection point can be arbitrarily positioned on the surface of the slab. The diffusion equation was solved in the s domain using the technique of the separation of variables. The time behaviour of the current density was determined applying the inverse Laplace transform to the solution. The analytical results were compared with results obtained with two numerical methods, the first based on an equivalent network formulation and the second based on a Finite Difference Time Domain method. The electromagnetic field in space has been simply determined from the knowledg of the current density distribution.

Abstract

The RFEC (Remote Field Eddy Current) technique is a relatively new method of testing thick walled tubes, that rely on the use of very low intensity electromagnetic fields. In the conventional RFEC technique defect detection is carried out considering the phase difference between the exciting and pickup signals. Depending on the electric and magnetic characteristics of the tube material, the probe output signal does not always allow easy defect detection. In this paper the use of a differential probe, in order to have a clearer defect detection, is proposed and its response is analysed considering both sinusoidal steady state or sinusoidal pulse excitations. The electromagnetic analysis of the system is carried out by means of an equivalent network model, that allows easy modeling of axysimmetric defects.

Abstract

In this paper equivalent network models for the analysis of electromagnetic field distributions and forces in axisymmetric systems with linear ferromagnetic conductors in motion are presented. The IEN (Infinite Equivalent Network) model calculates the inductive parameters of the equivalent network by means of analytical expressions, obtained in the hypothesis of an infinite axial length of the system, in order to have a quick first evaluation of the system performance. The FEN (Finite Equivalent Network) model uses the magnetization vector M and a magnetic scalar potential in order to take into account the actual finite axial length of the system in the evaluation of the inductive parameters of the equivalent network. The equivalent network model calculated results are compared with results obtained from an analytical model, that assumes an infinite axial length of the system, and the models were then tested comparing calculated results with experimental data of a linear motor prototype.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: We examined the effects of peri-procedural intensive glycemic control during early percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) on the number and differentiation of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and myocardial salvage (MS) in hyperglycemic patients with first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). METHODS AND RESULTS: We conducted a randomized, prospective, open label study on 194 patients with STEMI undergoing PCI: 88 normoglycemic patients (glucose < 140 mg/dl) served as the control group. Hyperglycemic patients (glucose ≥140 mg/dl) were randomized to intensive glycemic control (IGC) for almost 24 h after PCI (n = 54; 80-140 mg/dl) or conventional glycemic control (CGC, n = 52; 180-200 mg/dl). EPC number, differentiation, and SIRT1expression were assessed immediately before, 24 h, 7, 30 and 180 days after PCI. The primary end point of the study was salvage index, measured as the proportion of initial perfusion defect (acute technetium-99m sestamibi scintigraphy, performed 5 to 7 days after STEMI) and myocardium salvaged by therapy (6 months after STEMI). Hyperglycemic patients had lower EPC number and differentiation and lower SIRT1 levels than normoglycemic patients (P < 0.01). After the insulin infusion, mean plasma glucose during peri-procedural period was greater in CGC group than in IGC group (P < 0.001). The EPC number, their capability to differentiate, and SIRT1 levels were significantly higher in IGC group than in CGC, peaking after 24 h (P < 0.01). In the IGC group, the salvage index was greater than in patients treated with CGC (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Optimal peri-procedural glycemic control, by increasing EPC number and their capability to differentiate, may improve the myocardial salvage.

Abstract

In this paper a quasi-analytical model for the analysis of eddy currents distributions and forces in axisymmetric systems with conductors in motion is presented. The model is based on the analytical solution of the vector potential formulation of the Maxwell Equations for a sinusoidal steady state regime relating to an axially infinite geometry with conductors moving at a constant velocity. When the conductors move at a constant velocity, the model allows the analysis of axially infinite geometries for every kind of excitation waveforms. Finite axial geometries are considered, for iron free systems, superimposing two solutions relating to axially infinite geometries. The model can be used for the analysis of different devices, and a particularly useful application for the analysis of the transient induced voltage in a Non Destructive Testing system is shown.

Abstract

To verify whether it is possible, in people with diabetes mellitus (DM) considered at very high cardiovascular (CV) risk, stratify this risk better and identify significant modifiable risk factor (including lifestyle habits) to help patients and clinicians improve CV prevention. People with DM and microvascular diseases or one or more CV risk factors (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, poor dietary habits, overweight, physical inactivity) included in the Risk and Prevention study were selected. We considered the combined endpoint of non-fatal acute myocardial infarction and stroke and CV death. A multivariate Cox proportional analysis was carried out to identify relevant predictors. We also used the RECPAM method to identify subgroups of patients at higher risk. In our study, the rate of major CV events was lower than expected (5 % in 5 years). Predictors of CV events were age, male, sex, heart failure, previous atherosclerotic disease, atrial fibrillation, insulin treatment, high HbA1c, heart rate and other CV diseases while being physically active was protective. RECPAM analysis indicated that history of atherosclerotic diseases and a low BMI defined worse prognosis (HR 4.51 95 % CI 3.04–6.69). Among subjects with no previous atherosclerotic disease, men with HbA1c more than 8 % were at higher CV risk (HR 2.77; 95 % CI 1.86–4.14) with respect to women. In this population, the rate of major CV events was lower than expected. This prediction model could help clinicians identify people with DM at higher CV risk and support them in achieving goals of physical activity and HbA1c.

Abstract

Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating phytopathogenic bacteria, in particular its race 3. This microorganism is the causal agent of destructive diseases of different crops including tomato and potato. An important aspect of the interaction between this pathogen, and the host and non-host plants was its biochemical and molecular basis. Thus, the lipopolysaccharides (LPS) were extracted from the R. solanacearum cell wall, purified, and the O-specific polysaccharide (OPS) was isolated and chemically characterized by compositional analyses and NMR spectroscopy. The OPS was constituted of two linear polymers of an approximate ratio of 3 : 1, both of which were built up from three rhamnose and one N-acetylglucosamine residues and differed only in the substitution of one rhamnose residue. The LPS inhibited the hypersensitivity reaction (HR) in non-host tobacco plants and induced localized resistance in host potato plants, both of which were pre-treated with the LPS before being inoculated with the pathogen. A cDNA-AFLP approach was used to study transcriptome variation during the resistant and susceptible interactions. This revealed the presence of metabolites specifically expressed in the S. commersonii-resistant genotypes, which could be involved in the plant–pathogen incompatible reaction. Furthermore, a specific EST collection of the Ralstonia–potato interaction has been built up.

Abstract

Background Trials have shown a beneficial effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in patients with a previous myocardial infarction or heart failure. We evaluated the potential benefit of such therapy in patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors or atherosclerotic vascular disease who had not had a myocardial infarction. Methods In this double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, we enrolled a cohort of patients who were followed by a network of 860 general practitioners in Italy. Eligible patients were men and women with multiple cardiovascular risk factors or atherosclerotic vascular disease but not myocardial infarction. Patients were randomly assigned to n-3 fatty acids (1 g daily) or placebo (olive oil). The initially specified primary end point was the cumulative rate of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke. At 1 year, after the event rate was found to be lower than anticipated, the primary end point was revised as time to death from cardiovascular causes or admission to the hospital for cardiovascular causes. Results Of the 12,513 patients enrolled, 6244 were randomly assigned to n-3 fatty acids and 6269 to placebo. With a median of 5 years of follow-up, the primary end point occurred in 1478 of 12,505 patients included in the analysis (11.8%), of whom 733 of 6239 (11.7%) had received n-3 fatty acids and 745 of 6266 (11.9%) had received placebo (adjusted hazard ratio with n-3 fatty acids, 0.97; 95% confidence interval, 0.88 to 1.08; P=0.58). The same null results were observed for all the secondary end points. Conclusions In a large general-practice cohort of patients with multiple cardiovascular risk factors, daily treatment with n-3 fatty acids did not reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.

Abstract

SummaryRestenosis following coronary angioplasty is thought to result from migration and proliferation of medial smooth muscle cells. However, the factors that initiate this proliferation are still unknown. In a rabbit model of carotid artery injury, we tested the hypothesis that activated platelets and leucocytes might contribute to the development of neointimal hyperplasia. Following arterial injury, rabbits received either no treatment, R15.7, a monoclonal antibody against the leucocyte CD ll/CD 18 adhesion complex, aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA), a sub stance that inhibits platelet glycoprotein Ib-von Willebrand factor interaction, or the combination of R15.7 and ATA. After 21 days, the extent of neointimal hyperplasia was evaluated by planimetry on histological arterial sections. The area of neointima averaged 0.51 ±0.07 mm2 in control animals and it was significantly reduced by administrationof either R15.7 or ATA alone to 0.12 ± 0.05 and 0.20 ±0.01 mm2, respectively (p

Abstract

Tissue factor is a transmembrane protein that activates the extrinsic coagulation pathway by binding factor VII. Endothelial cells, being in contact with circulating blood, do not normally express tissue factor. Here we provide evidence that oxygen free radicals induce tissue factor messenger RNA transcription and expression of tissue factor procoagulant activity in endothelial cells in culture. Isolated, perfused rabbit hearts exposed to exogenous oxygen free radicals also showed a marked increase in tissue factor activity within the coronary circulation. Furthermore, in ex vivo and in vivo hearts subjected to ischemia and reperfusion, a condition associated with a production of oxygen free radicals in large amounts, a marked increase in tissue factor activity occurred. This phenomenon could be abolished by oxygen radical scavengers. This increase in tissue factor activity during postischemic reperfusion was accompanied by a significant decrease in coronary flow, suggesting that increase in tissue factor activity with the consequent activation of the coagulation cascade might impair coronary flow during reperfusion and possibly contribute to the occurrence of reperfusion injury.

Abstract

The extrinsic coagulation pathway is activated when tissue factor (TF) is exposed as a consequence of arterial damage. TF binds to factor VII (FVII) or activated FVII (FVIIa), generating a complex that activates both FX and FIX, ultimately leading to thrombin formation. To determine whether inhibition of FVII binding to TF would result in antithrombotic effects, active site-blocked FVIIa (FVIIai) was used in a rabbit model of intravascular thrombus formation. In addition, to study the interaction between extrinsic coagulation pathway activation and platelet aggregation, in the same model of intravascular thrombus formation, recombinant human FVIIa was administered in antiplatelet-treated rabbits. Cyclic flow variations (CFVs), due to recurrent thrombus formation, were initiated by placing an external constrictor around the endothelially-injured rabbit carotid arteries (Folt's model). Carotid blood flow was measured continuously by a Doppler flow probe placed proximally to the constrictor. CFVs were induced in 29 New Zealand White rabbits. After CFVs were observed for 30 min, the animals were randomly divided in four groups: 5 animals received via a small catheter (26G) placed proximally to the stenosis, an intra-arterial infusion of human recombinant FVIIai (0.1 mg/kg/min for 10 min); 9 animals received AP-1, a monoclonal antibody against rabbit TF (0.1 mg/kg i.v. bolus); 7 animals received ridogrel, a dual thromboxane A2 synthetase inhibitor and thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist (10 mg/kg i.v. bolus); finally, 8 rabbits received aurintrycarboxilic acid (ATA), an inhibitor of platelet glycoprotein Ib/von Willebrand factor interaction (10 mg/kg i.v. bolus). FVIIai abolished CFVs in 5 of 5 animals (CFV frequency minutes 0 cycles/hour; p < 0.05; carotid blood flow velocity minutes 106 +/- 9% of the baseline values; NS vs baseline). AP-1 abolished CFVs in 7 of 9 animals (CFV frequency minutes 0 cycles/hour; p < 0.05; carotid blood flow velocity minutes 58 +/- 35% of the baseline values; NS vs baseline). Finally, in all the animals receiving ridogrel or ATA CFVs were abolished (CFV frequency 0 cycles/hour; p < 0.05 in both groups; carotid blood flow velocity, respectively 62 +/- 32 and 66 +/- 40% of the baseline values; NS vs baseline in both groups). Thirty minutes following inhibition of CFVs, in the FVIIai treated rabbits, human recombinant FVIIa was infused, via the small catheter placed proximally to the stenosis, at the dose of 0.1 mg/kg/min for 10 min. In the other three groups, FVIIa, at the same dose, was infused i.v. Infusion of FVIIa restored CFVs in all FVIIai treated animals and in 6 of 7 AP-1 treated animals, thus indicating that AP-1 and FVIIai bindings to TF was competitive and was replaced by FVIIa. Infusion of FVIIa failed to restore CFVs in ridogrel e ATA treated rabbits (1 of 7 and 0 of 8 rabbits, respectively), showing that activation of extrinsic coagulation by FVIIa was overcome by inhibition of platelet function. Activated partial thromboplastin time, and ex vivo platelet aggregation in response to ADP and thrombin, were not different after FVIIai infusion, while prothrombin time was slightly but significantly prolonged as compared to baseline values. Thus, FVII-VIIa plays an important role in initiating thrombus formation in vivo. Administration of FVIIai exerts a potent antithrombotic effects in this model without affecting systemic coagulation. In addition, in this model platelets exert an important role in arterial thrombosis, since in the presence of inhibition of platelet function, activation of the extrinsic coagulation pathway failed to restore thrombus formation.
