Abstract

Limb salvage surgeries utilizing endoprostheses and allografts are performed for a variety of oncologic conditions. These reconstructions can fail and require revision for many reasons, which are outlined and classified into mechanical failures (soft tissue failures, aseptic loosening, structural failure), non-mechanical failures (infection, tumor progression), and pediatric failures (physeal arrest, growth dysplasia). Distinct radiologic and clinical findings define specific failure subtypes but are sparsely illustrated in the radiology literature. Specifically, an understanding of the organizational structure of the failure modes can direct radiologists’ search for post-reconstruction complications, enhance an appreciation of their prognostic significance, and facilitate research by standardizing the language and conceptual framework around outcomes. The purpose of this review is to highlight the key radiologic findings and imaging studies of each failure mode in orthopedic oncologic reconstructive surgery in the context of risk factors, failure rates, prognosis and survival statistics, and clinical decision-making regarding chemotherapy, radiation, and revision surgery.

Abstract

Abstract The use of Virtual Reality (VR) in education is getting more and more common, especially when hands-on learning experiences have to be delivered. With VR it becomes possible, e.g., to simulate dangerous or costly procedures that could hardly be implemented in real settings. However, engaging large classes in immersive laboratory activities may be difficult, since VR kits are still rather expensive for quantity purchases and may require powerful PCs as well as proper spaces to work. A possible way to deal with these issues could be to combine VR with so-called asymmetric Collaborative Learning (CL). CL is a particularly interesting pedagogical approach, as it make learners work in team to achieve a common educational goal, promoting critical thinking and active learning. In asymmetric CL, in particular, learners use different technologies to interact. When combined with VR, asymmetric CL could be used, e.g., to let some learners get immersed in a virtual environment, while some others actively participate in the experience using a desktop interface. This configuration could allow, in principle, to involve more learners in the same amount of time and with the same number of VR kits, while also letting them benefit of the advantages of CL. Based on these considerations, this paper investigates the impact of CL on VR-based education by leveraging an immersive virtual environment designed to support a laboratory experience in a Chemistry course. A user study was conducted by involving 46 university students enrolled in the course. Objective and subjective metrics were used to compare two education methods, i.e. one in which the students experienced the VR environment in isolation, another one in which pairs of students collaborated with an asymmetric approach. Students’ knowledge acquisition was assessed by means of theoretical quizzes, whereas practical performance was automatically measured during the VR experience. The experimental results showed that trading off VR-based, individual learning for CL may have positive effects on the acquisition of theoretical knowledge, but may be detrimental to the achievement of practical abilities if sufficient exposure to technology cannot be guaranteed.

Abstract

This paper presents the design and characterisation of a front-end prototype ASIC for the ATLAS High Granularity Timing Detector, which is planned for the High-Luminosity phase of the LHC. This prototype, called ALTIROC1, consists of a 5$\times$5-pad matrix and contains the analog part of the single-channel readout (preamplifier, discriminator, two TDCs and SRAM). Two preamplifier architectures (transimpedance and voltage) were implemented and tested. The ASIC was characterised both alone and as a module when connected to a 5$\times$5-pad array of LGAD sensors. In calibration measurements, the ASIC operating alone was found to satisfy the technical requirements for the project, with similar performances for both preamplifier types. In particular, the jitter was found to be 15$\pm$1~ps (35$\pm$1~ps) for an injected charge of 10~fC (4~fC). A degradation in performance was observed when the ASIC was connected to the LGAD array. This is attributed to digital couplings at the entrance of the preamplifiers. When the ASIC is connected to the LGAD array, the lowest detectable charge increased from 1.5~fC to 3.4~fC. As a consequence, the jitter increased for an injected charge of 4~fC. Despite this increase, ALTIROC1 still satisfies the maximum jitter specification (below 65~ps) for the HGTD project. This coupling issue also affects the time over threshold measurements and the time-walk correction can only be performed with transimpedance preamplifiers. Beam test measurements with a pion beam at CERN were also undertaken to evaluate the performance of the module. The best time resolution obtained using only ALTIROC TDC data was 46.3$\pm$0.7~ps for a restricted time of arrival range where the coupling issue is minimized. The residual time-walk contribution is equal to 23~ps and is the dominant electronic noise contribution to the time resolution at 15~fC., Comment: 20 pages, 15 figures Second version submitted to JINST including minor changes applied to address journal's comments

Abstract

Abstract Systemic light chain (LC) amyloidosis (AL) is a disease where organs are damaged by an overload of a misfolded patient-specific antibody-derived LC, secreted by an abnormal B cell clone. The high LC concentration in the blood leads to amyloid deposition at organ sites. Indeed, cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) has revealed unique amyloid folds for heart-derived fibrils taken from different patients. Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of heart-derived AL amyloid (AL59) from another patient with severe cardiac involvement. The double-layered structure displays a u-shaped core that is closed by a β-arc lid and extended by a straight tail. Noteworthy, the fibril harbours an extended constant domain fragment, thus ruling out the variable domain as sole amyloid building block. Surprisingly, the fibrils were abundantly concatenated with a proteinaceous polymer, here identified as collagen VI (COLVI) by immuno-electron microscopy (IEM) and mass-spectrometry. Cryogenic electron tomography (cryo-ET) showed how COLVI wraps around the amyloid forming a helical superstructure, likely stabilizing and protecting the fibrils from clearance. Thus, here we report structural evidence of interactions between amyloid and collagen, potentially signifying a distinct pathophysiological mechanism of amyloid deposits.

Abstract

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder, hallmarked by the gradual deterioration of motor neurons, culminating in muscle weakness and fatal paralysis. The exact etiology of ALS remains elusive, and there is a critical need for reliable biomarkers to aid in diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as promising candidates for biomarker discovery in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, giving access to pathologically relevant tissues otherwise typically challenging or invasive to sample. Indeed, EVs can derive by many cell types within the central nervous system, cross the blood-brain barrier and reach the blood, where they can be easily measured. One of the central mechanisms implicated in ALS pathology is glutamate excitotoxicity, which involves excessive glutamate accumulation due to impaired uptake by astrocytes and other glial cells, leading to neuronal damage. GLAST is a key glutamate transporter responsible for maintaining extracellular gluta-mate levels, and its dysregulation is thought to contribute significantly to ALS development and associated neuropathogenesis. Here, we applied a quick and validated method, to evaluate GLAST+ EVs in ALS patients’ plasma and age-matched healthy controls. We found an increase in GLAST+ EVs that holds promise for uncovering novel diagnostic and therapeutic avenues in ALS research.

Abstract

Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorder Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) and Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) are broad diagnoses that encompass a range of sudden-onset neuropsychiatric symptoms in children, which can include obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), tics, anxiety, emotional instability, and cognitive difficulties. Unlike PANDAS, PANS is not strictly linked to group A streptococcal infections but can be triggered by various infectious or environmental factors. Lights and shadows remain upon the management of children with PANS and PANDAS and there is no clear consensus regarding definition, diagnostic criteria, treatment, and follow-up. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the level of agreement on PANS and PANDAS definition, diagnostic criteria, treatment and follow-up and to assess on the basis of recent studies whether there is a need to modify the current recommendations used by primary care pediatricians and hospital pediatricians in clinical practice in order to improve outcomes. Using the Delphi method, this consensus provides shared indications on PANS and PANDAS management in pediatric age, based on the most updated literature. This work represents, in our opinion, the most complete and up-to-date information on the diagnosis of PANS and PANDAS, as well as consensus statements about several aspects of clinical care. Undoubtedly, more randomized and controlled trials are needed in the pediatric population to better define the best management, also in terms of adequate follow-up examinations and period of observation.

Abstract

Abstract Background Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-producing tumour originating from adrenal chromaffin cells. Classic clinical presentation includes headache, diaphoresis and palpitation. Syncope is uncommon and may result from hypotension or arrhythmia. We report a case of neurally mediated syncope in pheochromocytoma associated with cardiac repolarization abnormalities, a unique presentation of the disease. Case presentation This case report presents a 28 year-old woman, describing recurrent syncope usually preceded by prodromes such as headache, visual blurring, heart palpitations and psychomotor agitation. Firstly she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression, but there was no improvement of symptoms with psychiatric treatment. Previous Holter revealed long QT interval. Echocardiogram showed normal dimensions, preserved left ventricular function and no valvopathies. The patient was referred for a Head-up tilt test (HUTT) in order to investigate reflex syncope. The electrocardiogram (ECG) exhibited normal sinus rhythm and diffuse cardiac repolarisation abnormalities. HUTT was positive for vasodepressor type neurally mediated syncope and ECG showed U waves after a syncope episode. This electrocardiographic finding motivated further clinical investigation. The patient also described abdominal pain, increased abdominal volume, weight loss and blood pressure instability. Based on clinical history and ventricular repolarisation abnormalities uncovered by HUTT, pheochromocytoma was suspected. Urinary test was positive for catecholamines and the abdominal imaging revelead expansive lesion. She underwent surgery to remove the pheochromocytoma, confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Conclusions After surgery she had no recurrency of symptoms, remaining asymptomatic after six years of follow-up, suggesting a cause-effect relationship between neurally mediated syncope and pheochromocytoma.

Abstract

Abstract Background Literature suggests colonic resection and primary anastomosis (RPA) instead of Hartmann’s procedure (HP) for the treatment of left-sided colonic emergencies. We aim to evaluate the surgical options globally used to treat patients with acute left-sided colonic emergencies and the factors that leading to the choice of treatment, comparing HP and RPA. Methods This is a prospective, international, multicenter, observational study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. A total 1215 patients with left-sided colonic emergencies who required surgery were included from 204 centers during the period of March 1, 2020, to May 31, 2020. with a 1-year follow-up. Results 564 patients (43.1%) were females. The mean age was 65.9 ± 15.6 years. HP was performed in 697 (57.3%) patients and RPA in 384 (31.6%) cases. Complicated acute diverticulitis was the most common cause of left-sided colonic emergencies (40.2%), followed by colorectal malignancy (36.6%). Severe complications (Clavien-Dindo ≥ 3b) were higher in the HP group (P

Abstract

Abstract The concept of resilience has gained immense popularity as a way to frame social and environmental challenges. However, its empirical operationalization and the integration of social and ecological dimensions continue to present difficulties. In this paper, we conduct a systematic review of existing empirical studies of resilience in social, ecological and social‐ecological systems (SESs) and examine how and to what extent these studies have achieved the operationalization of the concept of resilience. We evaluate the operationalization of resilience in 463 papers based on whether they define the system of interest and disturbances, whether they define resilience, whether they evaluate resilience, and for papers focusing on SESs, whether that evaluation integrates social and ecological dimensions. We find that 51% of empirical studies do not meet at least one of these operationalization criteria, and that even those that do often lack key features for effective operationalization, such as clear system boundaries and baseline state or an effective integration of social and ecological dimensions. Of the papers examining SESs and evaluating resilience, only 54% integrate social and ecological dimensions in that evaluation. Building on these findings, we propose some design guidelines for operationalizing future empirical studies of resilience. Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog.

Abstract

The paper presents results of gas-geochemical studies of bottom sediments and petroleum potential assessment of Baikal Rift Basin. During the expeditions of the Class@Baikal project in 2014–2019, gases from the Lake Baikal bottom sediments were analyzed. The results showed a clear difference in chemical and isotopic composition of the seeping gases collected in the northwestern and southeastern parts of the lake. The seepage released from northwest part were relatively enriched by methane and had a low concentration of C2+ compounds. The seepage gases had relatively lighter carbon isotopes composition of CH4 (from -72,7 to -50,1 ‰ VPDB) and the high variability of δ13C in C2 H6 (from -65 to -22 ‰ VPDB). The gases released from southeastern part of the lake had an increase in C2+ compounds and had relatively lighter carbon isotopes composition of methane (from –57,2 to –41,0 ‰ VPDB). The carbon isotopes composition of ethane varies from -32 to -25 ‰ VPDB. Asymmetric structure of the Baikal rift basin and various processes of gas migration within it might cause the variations. Diffusive process led to the lighter carbon isotopes composition of the seepage gases from the northwestern part of lake and the gas molecular composition enrichment by methane. Such molecular and isotopic fractionations caused by geochemical processes helps to understand the migration of gas from source rocks to the earth’s surface. Similar geochemical indicators of fractionation should be taken into consideration when assessing oil and gas source rocks and basin potential from gas geochemical studies data.

Abstract

A propagação da palmeira jerivá (Syagrus romanzoffiana) ocorre por meio de sementes, cuja germinação se dá de forma desuniforme e lenta. Assim, as sementes encontram-se sujeitas a múltiplos estresses, como o hídrico e o salino, que limitam a embebição e suas chances de germinação. Objetivou-se avaliar a germinação de sementes da palmeira jerivá submetidas aos estresses hídrico e salino. O delineamento utilizado foi o inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições, em esquema fatorial (2 × 5), sendo dois agentes osmocondicionantes (NaCl e PEG 6000) e cinco potenciais osmóticos (0,0 - controle, -0,3, -0,6, -0,9 e -1,2 MPa). Ao final do experimento, calculou-se: porcentagem de germinação, índice de velocidade de germinação e tempo médio de germinação. Com relação aos potenciais osmóticos, para porcentagem de germinação, houve efeito significativo de maneira isolada somente para NaCl, com diminuição na porcentagem de acordo com a redução do potencial osmótico da solução. A partir do potencial -0,6 MPa, houve redução significativa na germinação das sementes. O índice de velocidade e o tempo médio de germinação das sementes foram afetados negativamente pelos potenciais osmóticos das soluções, independente do agente osmocondicionante. No estresse hídrico simulado pelo PEG 6000, as sementes começaram a germinar mais tarde e por um período mais prolongado, quando comparado àquelas submetidas ao estresse de NaCl. Concluiu-se que as sementes da palmeira jerivá apresentam tolerância aos estresses hídrico e salino, pois conseguiram germinar até mesmo no potencial osmótico mais negativo (-1,2 MPa).

Abstract

Abstract The pericellular matrix (PCM), with its hallmark proteins collagen type VI (COLVI) and fibronectin (FN), surrounds chondrocytes and is critical in transducing the biomechanical cues. To identify genetic variants that change protein function, exome sequencing is performed in a patient with symptomatic OA at multiple joint sites. A predicted damaging variant in COL6A3 is identified and introduced by CRISPR‐Cas9 genome engineering in two established human induced pluripotent stem cell‐derived in‐vitro neocartilage organoid models. The downstream effects of the COL6A3 variant on the chondrocyte phenotypic state are studied by a multi‐omics (mRNA and lncRNA) approach in interaction with hyper‐physiological mechanical loading conditions. The damaging variant in COL6A3 results in significantly lower binding between the PCM proteins COLVI and FN and provokes an osteoarthritic chondrocyte state. By subsequently exposing the neocartilage organoids to hyperphysiological mechanical stress, it is demonstrated that the COL6A3 variant in chondrocytes abolishes the characteristic inflammatory signaling response after mechanical loading with PTGS2, PECAM1, and ADAMTS5, as central genes. Finally, by integrating epigenetic regulation, the lncRNA MIR31HG is identified as key regulator of the characteristic inflammatory signaling response to mechanical loading.

Abstract

Background: The diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is primarily clinical, supported by the electromyographic examination to reveal signs of lower motor neuron damage. Identifying reliable markers of upper motor neuron (UMN) involvement is challenging. On this regard, the role of transcranial magnetic stimulation-induced motor-evoked potentials (TMS-MEPs), and its relationship with UMN burden, is still under investigation. Objective: To evaluate the ability of TMS-MEPs in delineating the neurophysiological UMN damage, and to determine the relationship between TMS-MEPs and [18F]FDG-PET measures of neural dysfunction. Methods: We retrospectively selected 13 ALS patients who underwent, during the diagnostic process, the TMS-MEPs and [18F]FDG-PET scans. Demographic and clinical data were collected. For the MEP evaluation, we considered normal MEP, absent MEP, or significantly increased central-motor-conduction-time. For [18F]FDG-PET, we conducted voxel-wise analyses, both at single-subject and group levels, exploring hypometabolism and hypermetabolism patterns in comparison with a large dataset of healthy controls (HC). Results: Based on TMS-MEPs, we identified 4/13 patients with normal MEP in all limbs (GROUP-NO), while 9/13 had an abnormal MEP in at least one limb (GROUP-AB). Despite the [18F]FDG-PET single-subject analysis revealed heterogenous expression of regional hypo- and hyper-metabolism patterns in the patients, the group-level analysis revealed a common hypometabolism, involving the precentral gyrus and the supplementary motor area, the paracentral lobule and the anterior cingulate cortex in the GROUP-AB. Moreover, exclusively for the GROUP-AB compared with HC, a relative hypermetabolism was observed in the right cerebellum, right inferior and middle temporal gyrus. The GROUP-NO showed no specific cluster of hypo- and hyper-metabolism compared to HC. Conclusion: This study showed altered brain metabolism only in the ALS group with abnormal MEPs, suggesting an association between the two biomarkers in defining the UMN damage.

Abstract

El artículo explora la recepción creativa de cuatro métodos de Teología Práctica en América Latina, destacando la interacción dinámica entre las tradiciones teológicas locales y los enfoques metodológicos desarrollados en otras partes del mundo. En concreto, se presenta el modo en que cuatro métodos originarios “del norte” (Razonamiento de la Escritura, Teología de la Correlación, Estudios en Espiritualidad y Teología Empírica) han sido creativamente recibidos y transformados dentro del contexto teológico latinoamericano. Cada método se examina en términos de su desarrollo original y su reinterpretación en América Latina, mostrando cómo el diálogo con las tradiciones teológicas locales ha dado lugar a nuevas expresiones metodológicas. Este estudio no solo refleja la capacidad de adaptación e innovación en la Teología Práctica hecha en América Latina, sino que también subraya la contribución significativa de estos métodos al desarrollo continuo de la disciplina en la región. El artículo concluye discutiendo la relevancia de estos enfoques metodológicos para el avance de una Teología Práctica a su vez profundamente contextual pero abierta a las oportunidades y los desafíos del panorama teológico internacional.

Abstract

Delirium, a multifactorial condition with an acute onset and diverse clinical manifestations, poses a significant challenge in the care of hospitalized individuals aged 65 years and older. This study aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge among nursing healthcare personnel regarding the diagnosis, recognition of complications, and treatment of delirium. A paper questionnaire consisting of 18 multiple-choice questions was distributed to nurses in twelve operational units located in four facilities within a local hospital in a specific geographical region under the jurisdiction of the Romagna Local Health Authority in Italy. Out of 194 respondents, the overall acceptance rate was 64.2%. The findings revealed an insufficient understanding of delirium among the nursing staff, with more than 40% of respondents answering incorrectly to five out of nine questions related to delirium knowledge, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Notably, gender emerged as a significant determinant, with female participants exhibiting a substantial odds ratio (OR) of 3.50 (p = 0.011 and CI95% = 1.34–9.16) compared to their male counterparts, indicating a higher likelihood of receiving delirium training among females. Furthermore, prolonged tenure within the same work context was associated with a reduced likelihood of receiving delirium training compared to those with less than two years of experience (OR = 0.21, p = 0.034, and CI95% = 0.05–0.89 for 6–10 years of tenure; OR = 0.22, p = 0.038, and CI95% = 0.05–0.92 for over 10 years of tenure). This study underscores the urgent need for enhanced delirium education and improved strategies among nurses to effectively manage patients with delirium. The results advocate regular educational sessions utilizing diverse formats to comprehensively address knowledge gaps among nursing staff. This study was not registered.

Abstract

Location awareness is vital in next generation (xG) wireless networks to enable different use cases, including location-based services (LBSs) and efficient network management. However, achieving the service level requirements specified by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is challenging. This calls for new localization algorithms as well as for 3GPP-standardized scenarios to support their systematic development and testing. In this context, the availability of public datasets with 3GPP-compliant configurations is essential to advance the evolution of xG networks. This paper introduces xG-Loc, the first open dataset for localization algorithms and services fully compliant with 3GPP technical reports and specifications. xG-Loc includes received localization signals, measurements, and analytics for different network and signal configurations in indoor and outdoor scenarios with center frequencies from micro-waves in frequency range 1 (FR1) to millimeter-waves in frequency range 2 (FR2). Position estimates obtained via soft information-based localization and wireless channel quality indicators via blockage intelligence are also provided. The rich set of data provided by xG-Loc enables the characterization of localization algorithms and services under common 3GPP-standardized scenarios in xG networks.
