Abstract

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory failure on the basis of their vaccination status at the time of ICU admission. Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study using a prospective database of patients admitted to the ICU of a university hospital in the city of Murcia, in Spain, between January 1, 2021 and September 1, 2022. Clinical, analytical, and sociodemographic data were collected and analyzed on the basis of patient vaccination status. We adjusted for confounding variables using propensity score matching and calculated adjusted ORs and 95% CIs. Results: A total of 276 patients were included in the study. Of those, 8.3% were fully vaccinated, 12% were partially vaccinated, and 79.7% were unvaccinated. Although fully vaccinated patients had more comorbidities, partially vaccinated patients had higher disease severity. The proportion of patients with severe acute respiratory failure was higher in the unvaccinated group, followed by the partially vaccinated group. No significant differences were found among the different groups regarding complications, duration of ventilatory support, or length of ICU/hospital stay. In the sample selected by propensity score matching, the number of patients with severe complications and the in-hospital mortality rate were higher in unvaccinated patients, but the differences were not significant. Conclusions: This study failed to show a significant improvement in outcomes in critically ill COVID-19 patients vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. However, the CIs were wide and the mortality point estimates favored patients who received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine.

Abstract

By the Magnus-Floquet approach we calculate the effective Hamiltonian for a charged particle on the lattice subject to a homogeneous high frequency oscillating electric field. The obtained result indicate the absence of dynamic localization of the particle for any value of the lattice constant and electric field applied, which completes the limit results obtained by Dunlap and Kenkre.

Abstract

A partir de la independencia de Cabo Verde respecto de Guinea Bissau, después de los años 80 del siglo pasado, este país se planteó el problema de construir una economía más allá de la mera subsistencia. En 2006 aparece un Plan Estratégico Turístico, revisado en 2011. La necesidad de ingresos económicos llevó a un modelo muy sectorial apoyado en el turismo de sol y playa en las islas de Sal y Boavista y, en el resto de las islas, un desarrollo mínimo. Se trata de hacer un análisis de esta dualidad que detenta Cabo Verde con un turismo de masas en auge y un turismo precario según islas, para ver las posibilidades de introducir una política turística integradora. Se evaluará geográfica y cuantitativamente las condiciones actuales y se hará una reflexión de lo que se puede entender por un turismo responsable con la participación de la población local.

Abstract

Raramuri Criollo cattle (RC), a local heritage breed in the Chihuahua state of Mexico, are highly rustic and well-adapted animals that can contribute to cow productivity in a low-input cow-calf production system. The aim was to evaluate traits related to productive performance of purebred RC, Angus x RC (AC) and Hereford x Angus (HA) cows. Each cow breed group was randomly assigned to one of three pastures within each of two mountains dominant exposures and evaluated during 2022 and 2023 at Rancho Teseachi (28◦48′ N, 107◦25′ W) belonging to Universidad Autonoma de Chihuahua. The six grazing pastures ranged from 263 to 400 ha, with similar slope, altitude and water sources characteristics. The stocking rate was moderate (forage utilization <50%). Forage biomass availability for the period of use was sampled in October, and stocking rate adjusted accordingly in March. RC cows were bred with RC bulls, and AC and HA with Angus bulls. The breeding season was from September to November, and pregnancy diagnosis at mid-January. Non-pregnant cows were replaced by pregnant cows from other pastures of the same farm. Feed supplementation was limited in 2022 and according to nutritional requirements in 2023. Evaluated variables included calf birth (BW) and weaning weight adjusted (WW) to the average age at weaning (190 d in 2022 and 165 d in 2023); body condition score (BCS 1 to 9), cow body weight (CBW) at the beginning of the breeding season, as well as body weight of calf weaned by unit of cow weight (WW/CBW), and pregnancy rate (PR). A general linear model with fixed effects of breed group, sex, dominant exposure of mountains, their interaction, cow age subclass (Young, 4 yr; Middle, 5 to 8 yr; Adult, > 9 yr) and Julian date at calving as a covariate was adjusted using PROC GLM of SAS for continuous, normally distributed variables, and PROC CATMOD for pregnancy rate, leaving out sex and interaction effects. Means of BW and WW on calves from AC and HA cows were greater (P < 0.5) than those from RC cows in both years (Table 1). In 2022, the mean CBW of HA was greater (P < 0.5) than for AC, and this greater (P < 0.5) than for RC cows; BCS was greater for AC than for HA and RC, and PR lower (P < 0.5) for HA than for AC and RC. In 2023, there was no difference in CBW between AC and HA; BCS was similar (P > 0.05) among the three groups; and PR was the lowest (P < 0.5) for HA. The AC cows had the greatest WW/CBW mean (P < 0.5) in both years. Overall, using AC cows resulted on a combination of traits that outperformed on general productivity in the evaluated production system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Several polymorphisms in the coding region of the myostatin (MSTN) gene have been associated with the double-muscled (DM) phenotype in different species. An experimental herd of purebred Raramuri criollo cattle in Chihuahua, Mexico, has been selectively managed for beef production during the last 15 yr. Recently, two calves where visually identified as DM animals. The aim of this study was to identify changes in the MSTN gene sequence, associated with the two DM individuals and to screen for carriers of the potential polymorphisms within this herd. The DM paternity of the calves was verified by the SeekSire bovine parentage testing of NEOGEN (Lincoln, NE). A 6.6 Kb fragment of the MSTN gene were amplified by PCR and sequenced using Illumina DNA prep kit in a MiniSeq platform. The resulting reads were analyzed using different bioinformatic programs. SNPs were generated in VCF files and filtered by the following criteria: variant confidence normalized by depth of variant samples (QD) < 2.0, mapping quality (MQ) < 40.0, strand bias(FS) > 60.0. The deduced myostatin protein and the three-dimensional model were obtained with bioinformatic tools. Once a novel variant was identified, a real-time PCR protocol was developed to genotype 100 and 97 herdmates, the allelic and genotypic frequencies were estimated. A 9-bp deletion was identified at the same position as the 11-bp deletion (g.821to 831del11) of the Belgian Blue MSTN allele (Figure 1). Although the latter allele has been found in three Spanish cattle breeds ancestrally related to Raramuri criollo, this is the first report of the 9-bp deletion in the MSTN gene. Such deletion results in the loss of three highly conserved amino acids residues (274, 275 and 276) in MSTN, but does not lead to a premature stop codon as in the case of the 11-bp deletion characteristic to DM Belgian Blue. The in silico three-dimensional MSTN conformation obtained for this allele has some structural differences compared with the protein reference model. The allelic frequencies were 0.85 and 0.15 for the MSTN+ and MSTNdel alleles, respectively, whereas the genotypic frequencies were 0.71, 0.01 and 0.28 for MSTN+/MSTN+, MSTNdel/MSTNdel MSTN+/MSTNdel genotypes, respectively. Controlled mattings to generate different genotypes in the research herd would allow to continue studying the effects of this MSTN gene variant on productive performance, forage behavior, husbandry and carcass and meat quality traits known to be affected by the DM phenotype in beef cattle.

Abstract

Background Adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) have been considered potentially high risk for novel coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) mortality or other complications. Objectives This study sought to define the impact of COVID-19 in adults with CHD and to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes. Methods Adults (age 18 years or older) with CHD and with confirmed or clinically suspected COVID-19 were included from CHD centers worldwide. Data collection included anatomic diagnosis and subsequent interventions, comorbidities, medications, echocardiographic findings, presenting symptoms, course of illness, and outcomes. Predictors of death or severe infection were determined. Results From 58 adult CHD centers, the study included 1,044 infected patients (age: 35.1 ± 13.0 years; range 18 to 86 years; 51% women), 87% of whom had laboratory-confirmed coronavirus infection. The cohort included 118 (11%) patients with single ventricle and/or Fontan physiology, 87 (8%) patients with cyanosis, and 73 (7%) patients with pulmonary hypertension. There were 24 COVID-related deaths (case/fatality: 2.3%; 95% confidence interval: 1.4% to 3.2%). Factors associated with death included male sex, diabetes, cyanosis, pulmonary hypertension, renal insufficiency, and previous hospital admission for heart failure. Worse physiological stage was associated with mortality (p = 0.001), whereas anatomic complexity or defect group were not. Conclusions COVID-19 mortality in adults with CHD is commensurate with the general population. The most vulnerable patients are those with worse physiological stage, such as cyanosis and pulmonary hypertension, whereas anatomic complexity does not appear to predict infection severity., Central Illustration

Pelagia noctiluca (Forskål, 1775) (Scyphozoa) is known as the predominant jellyfish species with direct development in Western and Central Mediterranean Sea. In this paper we used integrated morphometric, histological, and biochemical approaches to investigate the annual reproductive biology of P. noctiluca from the Strait of Messina (South Thyrrenian Sea), a key proliferation area for this species due to favourable temperatures and high productivity. From November 2011 to September 2012, P. noctiluca sexual reproduction occurred throughout the year, with two seasonal peaks (autumn, spring) of spawning and embryonic development. Gonads of female P. noctiluca were characterized by a large amount of mature eggs of small size (diameter < 200 μm) during high food availability, whereas fewer, larger eggs (diameter > 200 μm) were detected during low availability of prey. Two morphometric indexes were applied: the Gonad-Somatic Index (GSI, gonadal/somatic tissue dry weight ratio) and Fecundity Index (FI, n° eggs mm−2 * gonadal dry weight). The FI showed longer spawning periods than the GSI, providing a better causal-mechanistic explanation for the year-round occurrence of P. noctiluca in the Strait of Messina. Protein contents of the gonads changed seasonally, with the highest concentrations during the pre-spawning periods. We suggest that investigations on jellyfish sexual reproduction can provide biological information relevant for understanding mechanisms of jellyfish blooms as well as for the management of coastal zones affected by outbreaks of gelatinous species, The research leading to these results received funding from the European Community's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007–2013) under Grant Agreement No. 266445 for the project Vectors of Change in Oceans and Seas Marine Life, Impact on Economic Sectors (VECTORS – http://www.marine-vectors.eu)

Abstract

Larval dispersal is the process enabling connectivity between populations of marine species with a sedentary adult stage. This transportation results from the coupling between flow and larval biological traits. This experimental study aims to quantify these larval biological traits, namely pelagic larval duration (PLD), buoyancy and larval vertical motility behavior, for Corallium rubrum. Larval vertical motility behavior was split into active behavior (swimming) and passive behavior (free fall). A particle-tracking routine was applied to video recordings of the active and passive motility behavior of C. rubrum larvae to quantify their free fall speeds, swimming activity frequency and swimming speeds. The experiment was repeated under different light conditions and at different larval ages. PLD ranged from 16 days (95% survival) to 42 days (5% survival). Larvae exhibited negative buoyancy with a free fall speed decreasing linearly with age, at a velocity varying from -0.09 ± 0.026 cm [s.sup.-1] on day 1 to -0.05 [+ or -] 0.026 cm [s.sup.-1] on day 10. No significant difference was found either in the activity frequency or in the mean swim velocities during active periods for age (up to 12 days old) or under different light conditions. C. rubrum larvae maintained active swimming behavior for 82% of the time. This activity frequency was combined with age-varying free fall periods in the motility behavior model extrapolated up to 15 days old, resulting in a mean upward speed that increased from 0.045 cm [s.sup.-1] (day 1) to 0.056 cm [s.sup.-1] (day 15). This larval motility behavior, combined with the extended PLD, confers on C. rubrum larvae an unsuspectedly high dispersive potential in open waters., Introduction Most marine benthic invertebrates release larvae and/or gametes (Thorson 1946) that are advected and dispersed by ocean currents before becoming competent to settle in a suitable place.

Abstract

The Chihuahuan Criollo cattle is a genetic resource with special adaptive characteristics to rough, arid and semi-arid ecosystems. There is a great interest in incorporating such adaptations into beef production systems as one of the strategies for sustainable production to face the climate change challenge. Reproductive success is determinant to achieve sustainability in animal production systems. Most research efforts to improve reproductive efficiency have focused on the study of females. However, it has been shown that much of the economic losses caused by embryonic deaths are due to the bull. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of thawed semen from Angus and Criollo bulls kept in a low-input system. Thirteen healthy bulls (n = 7 Angus and 6 = Chihuahuan Criollo), with an average age of 4.3 ± 0.48 yr, grazing in the same rangeland and subjected to natural pasture conditions, were studied. Semen obtained by electroejaculation, were frozen and subsequently thawed for analyses. Characteristics of motility, vitality (V), morphology (M) and plasma membrane integrity (PMI) were evaluated in fresh and thawed semen, whereas movement kinetics (MK) and acrosome reaction (AR) were evaluated in thawed semen. Statistical analysis was performed using the PROC GLM of SAS Studio 2022 including the fixed effects of breed, semen condition and their interaction for variables of progressive motility (PM), V, M, PMI and the effect of breed for variables of MK and AR. As expected, PM and V were less (P < 0.05) in thawed (57.93 ± 4.1 and 53.69 ± 2.7) compared with fresh (72.64 ± 3.9 and 74.98 ± 2.6) semen, whereas no differences (P > 0.05) were found in M. However, the interaction between semen condition and breed for PMI tended to the significance (P = 0.08) with a PMI of 68.95 ± 4.6 and 58.98 ± 4.3 for Criollo and Angus, respectively, in fresh semen, whereas in thawed semen this difference was inverted (52.08 ± 4.6 and 58.40 ± 4.6). It is important to note that the semen retained quality traits with values above the minimum accepted for use in artificial insemination, despite the scarcity of resources of the system in which the animals were kept. There were no differences by breed in the main MK variables; however, AR reported as live unreacted sperm was less (P < 0.05) in Criollo (40.49 ± 4.49) compared with Angus bulls (58.48 ± 4.49). In conclusion, it is important to incorporate the assessment of membrane integrity and acrosome reaction in thawed semen evaluation to obtain a more accurate prediction of the potential fertility of samples, even if motility parameters appear to be optimal.

Abstract

The number of lambs per birth expressed as prolificacy is a key trait that determines productive efficiency in sheep. However, the optimal litter size depends on the production system, since the milk production of the ewe impacts the postnatal development of lambs. Milk yield, in turn, is related to the expression of the SLC2A1 gene in mammary epithelial cells. This gene encodes the solute carrier/glucose transporter 1 and is upregulated in peak/mid lactation. To assess the productive efficiency of twinning ewes in regard to SLC2A1 expression, the objective of this study was to measure the mRNA levels of SLC2A1 in milk somatic cells (MSC) of Pelibuey ewes lambing twins. Healthy ewes (n = 8), three primiparous and five multiparous, were selected to quantify and compare abundance of SLC2A1 mRNA. Management was under feedlot conditions, and the milk samples were taken between 16 and 20 d post-lambing. Total RNA was purified from MSC and SLC2A1 mRNA abundance were measured by RT-qPCR, relative to β-actin as reference gene. The total birth weight (TBW) and weaning weight of their lambs were recorded, calculating the total weight of lamb weaned (TWLW). TBW, TWLW and relative expression of SLC2A1 were analyzed with PROC GLM of SAS, whereas the Pearson correlation coefficient between TWLW and relative expression of SLC2A1 was calculated using PROC CORR of SAS. Although there was no statistical difference in TBW (P = 0.13) and TWLW (P = 0.38) between lambing groups, a numerical difference was observed both in TBW (5.7 ± 0.54 and 6.9 ± 0.42) and in TWLW (21.5 ± 3.94 and 26.2 ± 3.05) for primiparous and multiparous, respectively. The abundance of SLC2A1 mRNA were 3.1-fold change (P = 0.0005) greater in MSC of primiparous ewes than in the multiparous ones (Figure 1). In multiparous ewes a positive correlation, r = 0.96 (P = 0.01) was found between TWLW and relative expression of SLC2A1. It is concluded that greater relative expression of SLC2A1 in young prolific ewes could be a compensatory mechanism to produce more milk to feed their lambs, even with a smaller udder volume. Such findings give way for further research on the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The QTLome represents the collection of QTLs (quantitative trait loci) documented for each trait within a specific species, detailing the position, effect, and mode of inheritance of each locus. Despite the abundance of known QTLs for productive traits in cattle, only a few genes have been identified as selection markers. This study aimed to prioritize genes within validated QTLs associated with crucial traits in cattle by integrating this information with RNAseq data. Initially, bovine QTLs (n = 161,730) were sourced from the AnimalQTLdb database (version 44), and both graphical and quantitative analyses were conducted using R software. Only annotations within the UMD 3.1 genome were considered, with overlapping QTLs from the same scientific report grouped together. Following quality control measures, the number of QTLs was reduced to 37,146. Validated QTLs were determined by identifying overlapping annotations from various studies or those within a distance of < 1 Mb for the same phenotypic trait, resulting in a total of 3,856 validated QTLs. For gene prioritization, validated QTLs were selected based on semen traits and residual feed intake (RFI). Transcriptomes corresponding to these traits were sourced from NCBI (PRJNA516089 and PRJEB7696). Sequence filtering was performed using the fastp program, and transcript counts were obtained with SALMON software. Sequences were aligned to the Ensembl UMD 3.1 reference genome (version 94), and differential expression analysis was conducted using the R package DESeq2, considering only the group factor (high/low) for each trait (fertility/ RFI). Integration of QTLs and transcriptomes utilized the methodology of the cageminer R package, which prioritizes candidate genes within validated QTLs, identifies those grouped in co-expression modules enriched by reference genes, and correlates with the study phenotype (biserial r > 0.2). Reference genes were obtained from Ignatieva et al. (2021 PMID 34290736) and Chen et al. (2021; PMID 33664767). Among the 18 validated QTLs for semen traits, four candidate genes (TSPAN6, QSER1, ADRB2, AKAP4) were identified. Except for ADRB2, these genes exhibited significant differential expression (P < 0.05) in contrasting groups of Holstein cattle. They are associated with semen traits and perform functions such as regulation of spermatogenesis, development, activation, and cell growth. Regarding RFI, 127 validated QTLs yielded 205 prioritized genes, of which 123 showed significant differential expression (P < 0.05) in divergent groups of the Nelore breed. These genes are involved in the immune response and the polymerization and organization of actin filaments, processes that have been reported as biologically relevant to RFI. The implemented strategy was efficient for gene prioritization through the integration of QTLs and RNAseq. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: To date, 750 000 patients with COVID-19 worldwide have required mechanical ventilation and thus are at high risk of acute brain dysfunction (coma and delirium). We aimed to investigate the prevalence of delirium and coma, and risk factors for delirium in critically ill patients with COVID-19, to aid the development of strategies to mitigate delirium and associated sequelae. Methods: This multicentre cohort study included 69 adult intensive care units (ICUs), across 14 countries. We included all patients (aged ≥18 years) admitted to participating ICUs with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection before April 28, 2020. Patients who were moribund or had life-support measures withdrawn within 24 h of ICU admission, prisoners, patients with pre-existing mental illness, neurodegenerative disorders, congenital or acquired brain damage, hepatic coma, drug overdose, suicide attempt, or those who were blind or deaf were excluded. We collected de-identified data from electronic health records on patient demographics, delirium and coma assessments, and management strategies for a 21-day period. Additional data on ventilator support, ICU length of stay, and vital status was collected for a 28-day period. The primary outcome was to determine the prevalence of delirium and coma and to investigate any associated risk factors associated with development of delirium the next day. We also investigated predictors of number of days alive without delirium or coma. These outcomes were investigated using multivariable regression. Findings: Between Jan 20 and April 28, 2020, 4530 patients with COVID-19 were admitted to 69 ICUs, of whom 2088 patients were included in the study cohort. The median age of patients was 64 years (IQR 54 to 71) with a median Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) II of 40·0 (30·0 to 53·0). 1397 (66·9%) of 2088 patients were invasively mechanically ventilated on the day of ICU admission and 1827 (87·5%) were invasively mechanical ven

Abstract

Introduction Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a common comorbidity in congenital heart disease (CHD) and significantly affects prognosis. Our aim was to investigate how the location of the shunt influences the outcome of these patients. Methods The REHAP registry is a Spanish multicentre voluntary registry of patients over 14 years of age, which includes patients with congenital heart disease and PAH, starting in 2007. Baseline characteristics, functional class, right catheterization data, treatment and survival were compared. We performed a cox regression model for assessing the impact of the type of shunt on prognosis, after looking for confusing and effect modifying variables. Results 664 patients were analyzed, their characteristics are detailed in the table. Mean follow up time was 10 years. We performed a survival analysis adjusted for the confounding variables: age (Hazard ratio (HR) 1.02 p Conclusion The type of shunt significantly affects prognosis in Eisenmenger patients, with a much worse outcome for those with pretricuspid shunts. Functional class and clinical group are also closely related to outcome. Funding Acknowledgement Type of funding source: Private grant(s) and/or Sponsorship. Main funding source(s): MSD, GSK
