Abstract

Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate quality of nephrolithometric nomograms to predict stone-free rates (SFRs) and complication rates (CRs) in case of minimally invasive percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL). In the last decade, nomograms have been introduced to estimate the SFRs and CRs of PNL. However, no data are available regarding their reliability in case of utilization of miniaturized devices. Herein we present a prospective multicentric study to evaluate reliability of Guy's stone score (GSS), the stone size, tract length, obstruction, number of involved calyces, and essence of stone (S.T.O.N.E.) nephrolithometry score and Clinical Research Office of the Endourological Society (CROES) score in patients treated with minimally invasive PNL. Methods: We evaluated SFRs and CRs of 222 adult patients treated with miniaturized PNL. Patients were considered stone-free if no residual fragments of any size at post-operative unenhanced computed tomography scan. Patients demographics, SFRs, and CRs were reported and analysed. Performances of nomograms were evaluated with the area under the curve (AUC). Results: We included 222 patients, the AUCs of GSS, CROES score and S.T.O.N.E. nephrolithometry score were 0.69 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.61–0.78), 0.64 (95% CI 0.56–0.73), and 0.62 (95% CI 0.52–0.71), respectively. Regarding SFRs, at multivariate binomial logistic regression, only the GSS had significance with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.53 (95% CI 0.31–0.95, p=0.04). We did not find significant correlation with complications, with only a trend for GSS. Conclusion: This is the first study evaluating nomograms in miniaturized PNL. They still show good reliability; however, our data showed lower performances compared to standard PNL. We emphasize the need of further studies to confirm this trend. A dedicated nomogram for minimally invasive PNL may be necessary.

Abstract

Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems in the world. The diversity of life found in the habitats created by corals is so large that the reefs are known as the “rainforests of the sea.” Unfortunately, severe natural and anthropogenic changes such as ocean warming, acidification, coral diseases, and plastic pollution are extremely detrimental to this ecosystem. To enrich the ambient conditions of the corals and boost their growth, the potential of two biocomposites is evaluated based on biodegradable polyurethane and silicone matrices as scaffolds for the growth of oceanic organisms. Furthermore, their degradation is investigated within the coral reefs of Faafu Atoll, Republic of Maldives. The observations indicate that there are a significant number of organisms that settle and grow on these biocomposites in the Maldivian lagoon, both of an animal and photosynthetic nature. The biocomposites have the potential to become suitable scaffolds for diverse hard bottom fouling organisms. Moreover, the presence of coral larvae on the biocomposites suggests that during their biodegradation, these biocomposites can support the growth of organisms, generating a suitable environment for triggering the birth of new corals.

Abstract

Background and aim of the work: Pain is defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain as “an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage”. In this mini-review, we focused on the Mendelian disorders with chronic pain as the main characteristic or where pain perception is disrupted, and on the polymorphisms that can impart susceptibility to chronic pain. Methods: We searched PubMed and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) databases and selected only syndromes in which pain or insensitivity to pain were among the main characteristics. Polymorphisms were selected from the database GWAS catalog (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/ gwas/home). Results: We retrieved a total of 28 genes associated with Mendelian inheritance in which pain or insensitivity to pain were the main characteristics and 70 polymorphisms associated with modulation of pain perception. Conclusions: This mini-review highlights the importance of genetics in phenotypes characterized by chronic pain or pain insensitivity. We think that an effective genetic test should analyze all genes associated with Mendelian pain disorders and all SNPs that can increase the risk of pain. (www.actabiomedica.it).

Abstract

Antioxidant fabrics are excellent shields against oxidative damage by free radicals and can be used in clothing, packaging, cosmetics and preservation. In this study, we developed antioxidant and hydrophobic cotton fabrics using ecofriendly materials and processes. The fabrics were functionalized with a double layer coating. Pristine cotton fabrics were coated with a food grade antioxidant (butylated hydroxytoluene, BHT) incorporated biodegradable polyester (polycaprolactone, PCL). This coating was shielded with an acetoxy functional biocompatible hydrophobic silicone coating. The hydrophobic shielding prevented potential loss of the antioxidant due to interaction with water or ambient humidity over time. Coated fabrics were exposed to extreme peroxidative (concentrated H2O2) and UV light damage conditions using an ad hoc protocol for simulating decades of atmospheric ageing. Chemical changes on the cotton surface and potential oxidation and preventive mechanisms were studied using spectroscopy. Treated fabrics also displayed very low water vapor uptake and remained breathable with no visible color change. Mechanical properties of the original fabric were preserved after the treatment.

Abstract

Conservation environment with high humidity content or exposure to liquid water are directly linked to degradation of cellulosic materials, such as paper and fabrics. This research had as main objective the development of formulations based on two water-repellent products commercially available: a fluoroacrylic co-polymer and a polydimethylsiloxane. The purpose was to test their applicability to paper and textiles, both ancient and modern. Different analytical techniques have been used: FTIR-ATR spectroscopy, colorimetric analysis, observations by SEM-EDX and light microscopy, contact angle measurement and mechanical strength. Applications were carried out by spray and immersion achieving a systematization of the method and the choice of non-toxic solvents. Two of the four formulations tested were prepared with the addition also of silica nanoparticles. The results highlighted the compatibility and effectiveness of fluoroacrylic polymer with low nanosilica percentages applied by immersion.
