Abstract
Background: TAILORx patient-reported outcomes (PRO) quantify symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQL) from C+E beyond E alone from the patient's perspective, thus can inform decision-making for women in the intermediate risk group for whom chemotherapy may still be considered.
Methods: TAILORx participants with OncoType DX Recurrence Scores 11-25 were randomly assigned to E or C+E. All TAILORx participants enrolled 1/2010-10/2010 (N=612) completed PROs measuring fatigue, endocrine symptoms, cognitive impairments (PCI), and fear of recurrence at baseline, 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months. HRQL was assessed at baseline, 12, and 36 months. Linear regression (LR) examined PRO scores among the per-protocol sample.
Results: Overall, participants reported significantly more fatigue, endocrine symptoms and PCI at 3, 6, 12, 24 and 36 months compared to baseline and those randomized to C+E reported a greater magnitude of change baseline-3 months compared to those randomized to E alone (Table 1). Overall, by 12 months symptoms were comparable between groups. Pre-menopausal women had comparable symptoms at 24 and 36 months. Post-menopausal women randomized to C+E had greater endocrine symptoms at 24 and 36 months and greater fatigue at 6 and 24 months. Fear of recurrence was comparable between arms during treatment and follow-up. Multiple linear regression identified increased fatigue (LR slope β=0.67), endocrine symptoms (β =0.14), and PCI (β=0.11) as significant predictors of decreased HRQL across arms (p< 0.001). HRQL was comparable between E and C+E at 12- and 36-months.

Conclusions: TAILORx is the first trial to examine patient-reported fatigue, endocrine symptoms, PCI and HRQL among breast cancer patients randomized to endocrine therapy alone vs chemoendocrine therapy, thus allowing us to quantify acute and long-term symptoms uniquely attributable to chemotherapy. As expected, chemotherapy is associated with greater fatigue, endocrine symptoms and PCI acutely during treatment, and for post-menopausal women with greater long-term endocrine symptoms. Increased symptoms were associated with poorer HRQL. Long-term HRQL was comparable between groups.

Abstract
ABSTRACT In the present study, histological, morphometrical and ultrastructural analysis were performed to investigate intestinal mucosa changes in piglets jejunal explants exposed to two concentration of heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum and their respective culture supernatants. Jejunal explants were incubated for 4 hours in DMEM culture medium with a) only culture medium (control group), b) heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum strain1 - LP1 (1.1 x 108CFU/ml), c) heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum strain2 - LP2 (2.0 x 109CFU/ml), d) heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum strain1 culture supernatant (CS1), and e) heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum strain2 culture supernatant (CS2). Explants exposed to heat-inactivated L. plantarum strain 1 and 2 showed multifocal to difuse villi atrophy, villi apical necrosis and enterocyte flattening. Morphological assessment revealed similar results with bacterial adhesion to mucus and intestinal epithelial cells and, morphometric analysis showed a decreased villi height compared to the control group. Alterations in explants treated with the culture supernatant of both strains include mild villi atrophy and mild enterocyte apical necrosis. Morphological assesment reveled numerous well delineated villi and, morphometric analysis showed a significant increase in villi height compared to the control group. In general, exposure to the culture supernatants improved the intestinal morphology.

Abstract
Many urban indicators and functional citywide properties have been shown to scale with population due to agglomeration effects. We hypothesize that scaling relations may also exist for water-related urban indicators such as the water footprint. The water footprint is an indicator of water use that measures humans' appropriation of freshwater resources. We analyze the scaling of the water footprint for 65 mid- to large-sized US cities using both empirical estimates and a social interaction network model of city functioning. The network model is used to explain the presence of any scaling exponent in the empirical estimates of the urban water footprint by linking to previous theories of urban scaling. We find that the urban water footprint tends to approximately show sublinear scaling behavior with both population and gross domestic product. Thus, large cities tend to be more water footprint efficient and productive than mid-sized cities, where efficiency and productivity are quantified, in a broad sense, as deviations from a linear scaling exponent. We find the sublinear scaling may be linked to changes in urban economic structure with city size, which lead to large cities shifting water intensive economic activities to less populated regions. In addition, we find that green water contributes to the scaling both positively by transferring the dependence of food consumption on population into the water footprint and negatively by increasing heterogeneity. Overall, the proposed scaling relations allow for the comparison of water footprint efficiency and productivity of cities. Comparing these properties and identifying deviations from the expected behavior has implications for water resources and urban sustainability.

Abstract
We investigate the large length and long time scales collective flows and structural rearrangements within in vitro human bronchial epithelial cell (HBEC) cultures. Activity-driven collective flows result in ensembles of vortices randomly positioned in space. By analyzing a large population of vortices, we show that their area follows an exponential law with a constant mean value and their rotational frequency is size independent, both being characteristic features of the chaotic dynamics of active nematic suspensions. Indeed, we find that HBECs self-organize in nematic domains of several cell lengths. Nematic defects are found at the interface between domains with a total number that remains constant due to the dynamical balance of nucleation and annihilation events. The mean velocity fields in the vicinity of defects are well described by a hydrodynamic theory of extensile active nematics.

Abstract
In the present study, histological, morphometrical and ultrastructural analysis were performed to investigate intestinal mucosa changes in piglets exposed to deoxynivalenol alone or associated with two strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and the respective culture supernatants. Jejunal explants were incubated for 4h in culture medium with a) only culture medium (DMEM, control group), b) deoxynivalenol (DON, 10μM), c) heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum strain1 - LP1 (1.1×108 CFU/ml) plus DON, d) heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum strain2-LP2 (2.0×109 CFU/ml) plus DON, e) heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum strain1 culture supernatant (CS1) plus DON, and f) heat-inactivated Lactobacillus plantarum strain1 culture supernatant (CS1) plus DON. Explants exposed to DON and DON plus LP1 and LP2 showed a significant increase in histological changes (mainly villi atrophy and apical necrosis) and a significant decrease in villi height when compared to unexposed explants. However, explants treated with CS1+DON and CS2+DON remained similar to the control group both in histological and morphometrical aspects. DON also induced a significant decrease in goblet cell density compared to control whereas CS1+DON treatment induced an increase in the number of goblet cells in comparison to DON explants. In addition, ultrastructural assessment showed control, CS1+DON and CS2+DON explants with well delineated finger shape villi, meanwhile DON-treated, LP1+DON and LP2+DON explants showed a severe villi atrophy with leukocytes exudation on the intestinal surface. Taken together, our results indicate that the culture supernatant treatment reduced the toxic effects induced by DON on intestinal tissue and may contribute as an alternative strategy to reduce mycotoxin toxicity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Depression is a highly prevalent mental illness that is associated with high rates of morbidity and functional impairment. At the psychiatric unit of the University Hospital of Strasbourg, France, we have developed an open group that combines psychoeducation and cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT), the information, discovery, exchange and mobilization for depression group (IDEM-depression). IDEM-depression is composed of 17 thematic, structured, and independent sessions, which address different aspects of depression (i.e., rumination, pharmacological treatments). Because of its flexible format, patients with varying degrees of depression severity (from remission up to severe depressive symptoms) and whose depression might be bipolar or unipolar, are able to participate in the group. Thus, the group is well suited to a large number of patients with major depression. In the present study we aimed at describing the IDEM-depression group and presenting results regarding patients' overall satisfaction, assessed via two self-report questionnaires (the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire, the CSQ-8, and the IDEM ad hoc questionnaire), as well as its effect on mood following each session assessed via a visual analog scale (VAS) ranging from 0 up to 100. METHOD Sixty-five patients participated in 50 sessions of the IDEM-depression group in two hospitals in Alsace. 61% of the patients had bipolar disorder, and 41% of them were inpatients. Sessions took place on a weekly basis, lasted 2hours and were proposed by a CBT-trained clinical psychologist. Patients were asked to fill-out the VAS at the beginning and at the end of each session. Moreover, they were asked to fill-out the CSQ-8 and the IDEM ad hoc questionnaire when they left the group. Other than one session ("yoga and mindfulness"), all the sessions (16 out of 17) were structured on a Powerpoint© presentation. During the first hour information was given regarding the topic (i.e., rumination), and a shared CBT conceptualization of the topic was formulated by the participants and the psychologist. For most sessions, the first hour was therefore communication and information-based, whereas during the second hour participants were asked to participate in in-session behavioral experiments and/or to evaluate specific aspects of their behavior (thoughts, emotions, activity, mindful behavior) during the last few days. The therapist manual and the slides for each session are available via e-mail to the first author. RESULTS Regarding the results, self-reported mood on the VAS was compared between the onset (225 VAS) and the end (225 VAS) of each session. Overall, results suggest that self-reported mood is significantly improved following the participation in sessions (t=-5. 87, P<0.001). Moreover, mean results on the CSQ-8 suggest that patients are highly satisfied with the group (M=24.46, SD=6.42). Among them, 82% reported a moderate-high satisfaction with the group. On the IDEM ad hoc questionnaire, patients reported an overall high satisfaction level regarding (i) the content of sessions, (ii) the duration of sessions, (iii) the frequency of sessions, (iv) how much they felt they could express themselves during sessions. In the qualitative comments of this questionnaire, patients reported that the group helped them to gain an understanding of the mechanisms involved in depression; to feel less isolated and guilty; and to learn about specific psychotherapeutic tools (i.e., mindfulness) and to try to implement them. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that an IDEM-depression group is well suited to a wide-array of clinical pictures associated with depression (varying severity, bipolar or unipolar, inpatients and outpatients). This is probably due to its open-group format which is particularly well-adapted to the dynamic symptomatology associated with major depression, and may stimulate decentering in patients who have different levels of severity of symptoms but participate in the same session. Moreover, its impact on mood improvement, and the high satisfaction level reported by patients, seem to be related to its CBT and psychoeducation-based content on the one hand, which has shown its efficacy in depression. On the other hand, IDEM's structured open-group format might have also contributed to the improvement in mood and the overall good satisfaction reported by patients, through the social support provided by the group, improved feeling of self-efficiency, and its effect on stigmatization. Thus, IDEM-depression group is an efficacious, flexible, low-cost, and easy to implement (in different clinical settings) psychotherapeutic option for major depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors and crizotinib are nowadays the optimal treatment for metastatic lung cancer with activation of EGFR mutations and ALK rearrangement. In addition, several targeted agents are in development for lung cancer with other oncodrivers. In France, since 2011, six oncodrivers are routinely tested in patients with stage IV. The aim of this study was to assess whether systematic detection of oncodrivers and matched targeted therapy improve overall survival in patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS This study included all consecutive patients treated in our department for advanced lung adenocarcinoma from January 2012 to December 2013. We studied the impact in survival according to the presence of the driver and the targeted therapy. RESULTS Among the 261 patients included, oncodrivers alterations were found in 43.5% of patients: EML4-ALK fusion genes (2.1%), EGFR (10.3%), KRAS (27.7%), BRAF (2.5%), HER2 (0.8%), and PI3KCA (0.8%) mutations. Twenty-nine percent of patients (n=32) with oncodrivers received matched targeted therapy. Patient treated by targeted agent appropriate to an oncogenic driver had a median survival of 21.1 months (95% CI: 14.7-27.5). The patients (n=79) who did not receive targeted therapy had a median survival of 6.6 months (95% CI: 4.3-8.9). The patients (n=150) without identified driver had a median survival of 9.7 months (95% CI: 6.7-11.7); P<0.001. CONCLUSION An actionable oncodriver was routinely detected in nearly half of patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma. This systematic detection may influence treatment outcomes, notably with matched targeted therapy.

Abstract
Most raw milk Ossau-Iraty cheeses are currently manufactured on-farm using the same commercial streptococcal-lactococcal starter (S1). One way to enhance the microbial diversity that gives raw milk its advantages for cheese-making is to formulate new starters combining diverse, characterized strains. A new starter (OI) combining 6 raw milk strains of lactococci, recently isolated and characterized, was tested in parallel with the current starter by making 12 Ossau-Iraty raw milk cheeses at 3 farmhouses under the conditions prevailing at each farm. Compliance of the sensory characteristics with those expected by the Ossau-Iraty professionals, physicochemical parameters and coliforms were quantified at key manufacturing steps. The new starter OI gave cheeses having proper compliance but having lower compliance than the S1 cheeses under most manufacturing conditions, while managing coliform levels equally well as starter S1. This lower compliance relied more on the absence of Streptococcus thermophilus in starter OI, than on the nature of the lactoccocal strains present in starter OI. The study also shows that variations in 5 technological parameters during the first day of manufacture, within the range of values applied in the 3 farmhouses, are powerful tools for diversifying the scores for the sensory characteristics investigated.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: A better understanding of the biological changes occurring during metastatic progression of breast cancer is needed to identify new biomarkers, targets and novel treatment strategies. Here, we compared the intrinsic subtype and the expression of a gene panel across a large dataset of paired primary and metastatic tissues.
Methods: Expression profiling of 105 breast cancer-related genes was performed on 254 (127 pairs) formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissues using the nCounter platform. Tumor samples were obtained from 3 independent sources (ConvertHER trial [BCRT 2014] and two in-house datasets). Tumors were classified into each intrinsic subtype using the research-based PAM50 classifier (Parker et al. J Clin Oncol 2009). Chi-square tests were performed to determine the differences in the distribution of variables. Paired two-class Significance of Microarrays (SAM) was performed to determine the genes differentially expressed between paired primary and metastatic tissues. In vitro stable transfection of FGFR4-GFP was performed on Luminal B MCF7 cell line. RNA was purified on control vs. transfected cell lines. 7-AAD cell viability was performed following estrogen deprivation for 6 days.
Results: Subtype distribution in primary vs. metastatic disease was 39.0% vs. 26.8% for Luminal A (p=0.012), 26.0% vs. 35.0% for Luminal B (p=0.322), 11.4% vs. 20.3% for HER2-enriched (p=0.115) and 10.6% vs. 13.0% for Basal-like tumors (p=0.843). The rate of subtype conversion was 7.7% in Basal-like, 23.1% in HER2-enriched, 30.0% in Luminal B and 54.3% in Luminal A disease. The majority of subtype conversions in Luminal A disease were to Luminal B (72.0%) and HER2-enriched (24.0%). Overall, 13.2% of primary Luminal A/B tumors progressed to a HER2-E subtype despite 70% of them being clinically HER2-negative. In a paired analysis using all samples, 10- and 12- genes were found up- and down- regulated in metastatic tissues (False Discovery Rate [FDR] <5%). The up-regulated gene list in metastatic disease was composed of FGFR4 (top gene) and proliferation genes (CDC6, CCNB1, CEP55). The down-regulated gene list in metastatic disease was enriched for luminal-related genes (ESR1, PGR, NAT1 and MAPT). A similar paired analysis within Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2-enriched and Basal-like disease revealed 22, 8, 7 and 0 differentially expressed genes (FDR<5%), respectively. Finally, MCF7 cell line transfected with FGFR4 showed a relative increase in the HER2-enriched profile compared with transfected control. In vitro, MCF7-FGFR4 cells showed estrogen independent growth compared to transfected controls.
Conclusions: Metastatic tissues are relatively more proliferative and less luminal compared to primary tumors. This is especially relevant in primary Luminal A disease. In contrast, metastatic tissues from Basal-like primary disease remain largely unchanged. In luminal disease, a significant increase in the HER2-enriched profile is observed in metastatic disease despite most tumors being clinically HER2-negative. A potential driver of the HER2-enriched profile and estrogen independence in clinically HER2-negative metastatic tissues might be FGFR4.

Abstract
Changes in diet and eating behavior along with excessive consumption of sugar or fat and a sedentary lifestyle are related to increased obesity and its associated comorbidities. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of the type of macronutrients on specific health benefits associated with the weight loss in treating obesity. A total of 30 obese women (34.89±3.04 kg/m(2) and 43.3±5.34 years) participated in an interdisciplinary therapy approach to lifestyle change, which consisted of nutritional counseling, exercise, and psychological therapy for over a period of 26 weeks. The profile was obtained by anthropometric measurements and body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Usual food intake was assessed with 3-day food record diaries and blood tests were used to determine metabolic and adipokines parameters. After therapy, there was significant reduction in all anthropometric and body composition variables. Food consumption also decreased while still providing adequate nutrient intake. There was significant improvement in LDL-cholesterol, PAI-1, leptin, CRP, ICAM-1, and VCAM-1. Lower dietary carbohydrate and fat intake led to weight loss. The effect of lower carbohydrate intake on weight loss is related to changes in body composition and leptin levels. Weight loss by reducing fat intake modified the inflammatory process and cardiovascular risk, indicating dietary fat as an independent predictor factor of cell adhesion molecules. Therefore, decreasing dietary fat consumption had greater impact on the inflammatory process on obese individuals. Our results show that the type of macronutrient influences the health benefits associated with weight loss.

Abstract
A retrospective study was performed to evaluate factors that influence pregnancy per embryo transfer (P/ET) in an IVF-embryo transfer program. A total of 5026 fresh in vitro-produced embryos were transferred during 2014 and evaluated for effects of embryo quality, embryo stage, size of corpus luteum (CL; 18–19.9 mm or ≥20 mm), interval from GnRH to embryo transfer, number of previous embryo transfer (0, 1, 2, 3, ≥4); and interaction of embryo stage and interval from GnRH to embryo transfer. One group (n = 850) had detection of oestrus after prostaglandin F2α application but most heifers (n = 4176) received fixed timed embryo transfer after a 5-day CIDR-Synch protocol: Day –8 CIDR inserted; Day –3 CIDR removed and prostaglandin F2α; Day –2 prostaglandin F2α; Day 0 GnRH. Ultrasound was performed on Day 6 after GnRH or oestrus to measure CL size and on Day 32 and 60 to determine pregnancy. Data for P/ET were analysed by logistic regression (LOGISTIC procedure, SAS 9.4). Embryo quality influenced P/ET at Day 32 [Grade 1 48.4% (1273/2631) v. Grade 2 37.6% (900/2395); P < 0.01] and at Day 60 [Grade 1 38.9% (1023/2631) v. Grade 2 29.0% (694/2395); P < 0.01], and altered pregnancy loss [Grade 1 19.6% (250/1273) v. Grade 2 22.9% (206/900); P = 0.03]. Stage of the embryo also had an effect on P/ET at Day 32 [Stage 6 35.5%a (582/1641), Stage 7 46.3%b (1431/3092), and Stage 8 54.6%c (160/293); P < 0.01] and at Day 60 [Stage 6 28.2%a (462/1641), Stage 7 36.6%b (1131/3092), and Stage 8 41.6%b (122/293); P < 0.01], but did not affect pregnancy loss (P = 0.22). Interestingly, interval from GnRH (or oestrus) until embryo transfer did not affect P/ET at Day 32 (P = 0.10), 60 (P = 0.23), or pregnancy loss (P = 0.3), nor was there an interaction between interval and embryo stage at Day 32 (P = 0.77), 60 (P = 0.96) or pregnancy loss (P = 0.55). As shown in Table 1, embryo stage 6 was always the lowest and stage 8 always the greatest P/ET regardless of interval from GnRH to embryo transfer. Size of CL also did not affect P/ET at Day 32 (P = 0.09), 60 (P = 0.21), or pregnancy loss (P = 0.90). Number of previous embryo transfer also did not alter P/ET at Day 32 [0 = 43.3% (886/2046), 1 = 44.1% (639/1450), 2 = 43.4% (444/1024), 3 = 42.6% (146/343), and ≥4 = 35.6% (58/163); P = 0.33] or 60 (P = 0.51) or pregnancy loss (P = 0.12). In conclusion, embryo stage and quality are the major factors that impacted P/ET in this study, with surprisingly little effect of interval from GnRH to embryo transfer, size of the CL, and number of previous embryo transfer. Thus, recipient programs for IVF-embryo transfer can be designed with substantial flexibility.

Abstract
SHORT syndrome has historically been defined by its acronym: short stature (S), hyperextensibility of joints and/or inguinal hernia (H), ocular depression (O), Rieger abnormality (R) and teething delay (T). More recently several research groups have identified PIK3R1 mutations as responsible for SHORT syndrome. Knowledge of the molecular etiology of SHORT syndrome has permitted a reassessment of the clinical phenotype. The detailed phenotypes of 32 individuals with SHORT syndrome and PIK3R1 mutation, including eight newly ascertained individuals, were studied to fully define the syndrome and the indications for PIK3R1 testing. The major features described in the SHORT acronym were not universally seen and only half (52%) had four or more of the classic features. The commonly observed clinical features of SHORT syndrome seen in the cohort included intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) <10th percentile, postnatal growth restriction, lipoatrophy and the characteristic facial gestalt. Anterior chamber defects and insulin resistance or diabetes were also observed but were not as prevalent. The less specific, or minor features of SHORT syndrome include teething delay, thin wrinkled skin, speech delay, sensorineural deafness, hyperextensibility of joints and inguinal hernia. Given the high risk of diabetes mellitus, regular monitoring of glucose metabolism is warranted. An echocardiogram, ophthalmological and hearing assessments are also recommended.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the changes in oligosaccharides and isoflavone aglycone content in soymilk during fermentation with commercial kefir culture. Soymilk was fermented with kefir culture at 25 °C for 30 h. The counts of lactic acid bacteria, Lactococcus lactis, Leuconostoc sp and yeasts; measurements of pH, acidity, α-galactosidase and β-glucosidase activity, sugar and isoflavone contents were performed at the intervals of time. In the fermented soymilk, the lactic acid bacteria counts increased from 7.6 log to 9.1 CFU g(-1), pH reached to 4.9 and lactic acid reached 0.34 g 100 g(- 1). The α-galactosidase was produced (0.016 AU g(-1)) with 100% raffinose and 92% stachyose hydrolysis being observed after the depletion of galactose, glucose and sucrose. Kefir culture produced β-glucosidase (0.0164 AU g(-1)), resulting in 100% bioconversion of glycitin and daidzin and 89% bioconversion of genistin into the corresponding aglycones. The fermented soymilk presented 1.67 μmol g(-1) of daidzein, 0.28 μmol g(-1) of glicitein and 1.67 μmol g (-1) of genistein.

The objective of this work was to provide a chemical characterization of atmospheric particles collected in the vicinity of a steelmaking industry and to identify the sources that affect PM10 levels. A total of 94 PM samples were collected in two sampling campaigns that occurred in February and June/July of 2011. PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 were analyzed for a total of 22 elements by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis and Particle Induced X-ray Emission. The concentrations of water soluble ions in PM10 were measured by Ion Chromatography and Indophenol-Blue Spectrophotometry. Positive Matrix Factorization receptor model was used to identify sources of particulate matter and to determine their mass contribution to PM10. Seven main groups of sources were identified: marine aerosol identified by Na and Cl (22%), steelmaking and sinter plant represented by As, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Mn, Pb, Sb and Zn (11%), sinter plant stack identified by NH4(+), K and Pb (12%), an unidentified Br source (1.8%), secondary aerosol from coke making and blast furnace (19%), fugitive emissions from the handling of raw material, sinter plant and vehicles dust resuspension identified by Al, Ca, La, Si, Ti and V (14%) and sinter plant and blast furnace associated essentially with Fe and Mn (21%).

Abstract
As a first national surveillance of Acinetobacter in Cuba, a total of 500 Acinetobacter spp. isolates recovered from 30 hospitals between 2010 and 2012 were studied. Acinetobacter baumannii–calcoaceticus complex accounted for 96.4% of all the Acinetobacter isolates, while other species were detected at low frequency (A. junii 1.6%, A. lwoffii 1%, A. haemolyticus 0.8%, A. soli 0.2%). Resistance rates of isolates were 34–61% to third-generation cephalosporins, 49–50% to β-lactams/inhibitor combinations, 42–47% to aminoglycosides, 42–44% to carbapenems and 55% to ciprofloxacin. However, resistance rates to colistin, doxycycline, tetracycline and rifampin were less than 5%. Among carbapenem-resistant isolates, 75% harboured different blaOXA genes (OXA-23, 73%; OXA-24, 18%; OXA-58, 3%). The blaNDM-1 gene was identified in an A. soli strain, of which the species was confirmed by sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene, rpoB, rpoB–rpoC and rpoL–rpoB intergenic spacer regions and gyrB. The sequences of blaNDM-1 and its surrounding genes were identical to those reported for plasmids of A. baumannii and A. lwoffi strains. This is the first report of blaNDM-1 in A. soli, together with a high prevalence of OXA-23 carbapenemase for carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter spp. in Cuba.

Abstract
Brasil é um dos países em desenvolvimento que faz parte dos BRICS, os quais juntos têm um potencial de crescimento e consumo de mais de 50% do PIB global. A distribuição de bens produzidos no território brasileiro requer um gerenciamento complexo devido a suas dimensões continentais. Uma rede de transporte mais eficiente e integrado deve reduzir os preços e trazer competitividade aos produtos brasileiros. A solução não é única e requer um planejamento global dos transportes, incluindo o uso de vários meios, transportes intermodais, o que reduzirá custos e tempo de entrega. Optou-se por um estudo qualitativo de banco de dados de agências governamentais e análise de estudos publicados sobre o tema. Este estudo apresenta os dados de custos baseado em preços internacionais. O Brasil tem adotado, tradicionalmente, o transporte rodoviário, apesar de ter outras opções disponíveis, como ferrovias ou hidrovias. Os resultados indicam que se o país não faz os investimentos necessários em modais adequados, perderá competitividade internacional levando à diminuição do PIB. Estudos de simulação de investimentos em modos de transporte e suas implicações sobre o crescimento do PIB seria o curso natural deste estudo. A importância deste trabalho é apontar para a necessidade urgente de investigar e investir outros meios de transporte nos países em desenvolvimento.
