Abstract
Three attract-and-kill formulations, a gel, a wax panel, and a plastic cylinder were tested in simulated warehouses at three densities of devices and at three densities of moths, Plodia interpunctella Hübner, per room. Wax panels and the cylinder formulations suppressed all the densities of moths with only one device per room. Two field experiments were then conducted during 2005 and 2006 in replicated commercial pet food and grocery stores that harbored natural populations of P. interpunctella. In the summer of 2005, the wax panel formulation suppressed adult male response to monitoring traps and also reduced the numbers of larvae in food bait oviposition cups after the first month of being established. This suppression was maintained until the third month. The second field experiment in 2006 compared three pheromone-based methods of moth suppression in buildings with moth populations in untreated buildings. The mass-trapping treatment showed the lowest adult moth capture after the first month of the experiment until the end of the third month. However, this treatment was similar statistically to use of attract-and-kill panels, mating disruption, and untreated control establishments in most of the weeks. Monitoring of larvae in food cups revealed the pheromone-based methods were not significantly different from each other, but that they suppressed moth populations in most of the weeks when compared with untreated control buildings. This research shows potential for successful pheromone-based suppression methods for Indianmeal moths in commercial applications.

Ambulatory circadian monitoring (ACM) based on thermometry, motor activity and body position (TAP): a comparison with polysomnography. Physiol Behav 2014; 126:30-8.

Abstract
An integrated variable based on the combination of wrist Temperature, motor Activity and body Position (TAP) was previously developed at our laboratory to evaluate the functioning of the circadian system and sleep-wake rhythm under ambulatory conditions. However, the reliability of TAP needed to be validated with polysomnography (PSG). 22 subjects suffering from sleep disorders were monitored for one night with a temperature sensor (iButton), an actimeter (HOBO) and exploratory PSG. Mean waveforms, sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), agreement rates (AR) and comparisons between TAP and sleep stages were studied. The TAP variable was optimized for SE, SP and AR with respect to each individual variable (SE: 92%; SP: 78%; AR: 86%). These results improved upon estimates previously published for actigraphy. Furthermore, TAP values tended to decrease as sleep depth increased, reaching the lowest point at phase 3. Finally, TAP estimates for sleep latency (SL: 37±9 min), total sleep time (TST: 367±13 min), sleep efficiency (SE: 86.8±1.9%) and number of awakenings (NA>5 min: 3.3±.4) were not significantly different from those obtained with PSG (SL: 29±4 min; SE: 89.9±1.8%; NA>5 min: 2.3±.4), despite the heterogeneity of the sleep pathologies monitored. The TAP variable is a novel measurement for evaluating circadian system status and sleep-wake rhythms with a level of reliability better to that of actigraphy. Furthermore, it allows the evaluation of a patient's sleep-wake rhythm in his/her normal home environment, and at a much lower cost than PSG. Future studies in specific pathologies would verify the relevance of TAP in those conditions.

Abstract
Background Circulating endothelial cells (CEC) may be a biomarker of vascular injury and pro-thrombotic tendency, while circulating endothelial progenitor cells (CEP) may be an indicator for angiogenesis and vascular remodelling. However, there is not a universally accepted standardized protocol to identify and quantify these cells and its clinical relevancy remains to be established. Objectives To quantify CEC and CEP in patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) and with myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), to characterize the CEC for the expression of activation (CD54, CD62E) and procoagulant (CD142) markers and to investigate whether they correlate with other clinical and laboratory data. Patients and Methods Sixteen patients with VTE, 17 patients with MPN and 20 healthy individuals were studied. The CEC and CEP were quantified and characterized in the blood using flow cytometry, and the demographic, clinical and laboratory data were obtained from hospital records. Results We found the CEC counts were higher in both patient groups as compared to controls, whereas increased numbers of CEP were found only in patients with MPN. In addition, all disease groups had higher numbers of CD62E+ CEC as compared to controls, whereas only patients with VTE had increased numbers of CD142+ and CD54+ CEC. Moreover, the numbers of total and CD62+ CEC correlated positively with the white blood cells (WBC) counts in both groups of patients, while the numbers of CEP correlated positively with the WBC counts only in patients with MPN. In addition, in patients with VTE a positive correlation was found between the numbers of CD54+ CEC and the antithrombin levels, as well as between the CD142+ CEC counts and the number of thrombotic events. Conclusions Our study suggests that CEC counts may reveal endothelial injury in patients with VTE and MPN and that CEC may express different activation-related phenotypes depending on the disease status.

Abstract
AIM The appropriate management of achalasia in children remains debatable. The present study aimed to evaluate the outcome of laparoscopic Heller myotomy by assessing short- and mid-term issues. METHODS Children submitted to surgery from 2002 to 2010 were included. Surgery was proposed after failure of endoscopic dilatations. All patients underwent esophagocardiomyotomy (Heller) plus anterior fundoplication (Dor) by laparoscopy. Demographics, presentation symptoms and perioperative details were analyzed. The outcomes were assessed both by medical records and the application of a 14 items (score 0-worst to 4-best/normal) self-evaluation questionnaire (modified GIQLI - covering only upper gastrointestinal symptoms). RESULTS Six patients (5 males) with a median age of 12.2 years (range: 0.8-14.2) were submitted to surgery. The presenting symptoms were: dysphagia (83.3%), weight loss (50%), vomiting (33.3%), chronic cough (33.3%), and chest pain (16.7%). All patients were operated on by laparoscopy with no conversions; there were no intra or postoperative complications. At a median follow-up of 5 years (range: 2-10) none of the patients were re-operated. Five patients have normal eating habits; the remaining case presented recurrent episodes of dysphagia requiring regular endoscopic dilatations (every 6 months). The total GIQLI presented a mean score of 49.3 (range, 45-52) representing 88.1% of the theoretical maximum. The score for frequency of dysphagia episodes was 1.6 +/- 1.4; all patients scored 3 for the grade of dysphagia. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic Heller myotomy is effective and safe for achalasia in children, offering a good and durable quality of life; although frequent, the dysphagia episodes were mild.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To examine neural correlates of working memory performance in patients with primary insomnia (PIs) compared with well-matched good sleepers (GSs). DESIGN Twenty-five PIs and 25 GSs underwent functional MRI while performing an N-back working memory task. SETTING VA hospital sleep laboratory and University-based functional imaging center. PATIENTS OR PARTICIPANTS 25 PIs, 25 GSs. INTERVENTIONS N/A. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS Although PIs did not differ from GSs in cognitive performance, PIs showed the expected differences from GSs in both self-reported and objective sleep measures. PIs, relative to GSs, showed reduced activation of task-related working memory regions. This manifested both as an overall reduction in activation of task-related regions and specifically as reduced modulation of right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with increasing task difficulty. Similarly, PIs showed reduced modulation (i.e., reduced deactivation) of default mode regions with increasing task difficulty, relative to GSs. However, PIs showed intact performance. CONCLUSIONS These data establish a profile of abnormal neural function in primary insomnia, reflected both in reduced engagement of task-appropriate brain regions and an inability to modulate task-irrelevant (i.e., default mode) brain areas during working memory performance. These data have implications for better understanding the neuropathophysiology of the well established, yet little understood, discrepancy between ubiquitous subjective cognitive complaints in primary insomnia and the rarely found objective deficits during testing.

Abstract
A 7-year-old male intact Briard was presented with limping, fever and a painful swelling of the left hind leg. Physical examination revealed clinical fi ndings consistent with a state of compensated shock, and demonstrated ecchymosis and an extremely painful edema of the left hind leg. Cytology of the extracellular subcutaneous fl uid revealed large quantities of cocci. A bacteriological culture confi rmed the presence of β-hemolytic streptococci of Lancefi eld group G. Necrotizing fasciitis was diagnosed based on the combination of the clinical fi ndings, the culture results and the surgical fi ndings. Two surgical interventions were performed and large amounts of necrotic and affected tissue were removed. After seven days of intensive treatment, the dog was discharged. Two weeks postoperatively, the dog had fully recovered, regained function of the limb, and the wound was completely healed.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is a common cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and, because of its intrinsic systemic involvement, its treatment can be a medical and surgical challenge. This condition is often associated with the presence of hepatic cysts and their prevalence generally increases with age. Most patients remain asymptomatic, but some of these will develop complications associated with enlargement and infection of their cysts. Chest pain is a rare manifestation of these complications and, after exclusion of more common cardiovascular and pulmonary causes, should raise the suspicion of an infected hepatic cyst in these patients. We report the case of a 62-year-old male who underwent a kidney transplantation from a cadaveric donor in 1997 (etiology of the ESRD was ADPKD), and was admitted to the emergency department with complaints of chest pain radiating to both shoulders and the interscapular region. An echocardiogram was showed compression of the right atrium by a large liver cyst without associated ventricular dysfunction. Computer tomography-guided drainage of the cyst was performed and an Enterobacter aerogenes sensitive to carbamapenemes was isolated from respective cultures. The patient presented a favorable clinical outcome with prolonged administration of antibiotic therapy according to the antibiotic susceptibility testing. There was no need for surgical intervention.

Abstract
Green lacewings are generalist predators whose conservation is important for pest control in olive orchards (Olea europaea L.) Sustainable farming practices, as opposed to conventional management techniques, are believed to foster the presence of natural enemies. This study therefore aims to analyze the effect of 1) herbicidal weed cover removal and insecticide applications, and 2) the general management systems used in the olive orchards of southern Spain on chrysopid assemblages and abundance. Green lacewing adults and larvae were collected from olive orchards under conventional, integrated, and organic management systems. In addition, chemical analyses of residues were carried out to determine the presence of insecticidal and herbicidal residues. Eight adult species and three genera of larvae were identified. No rare species were captured from the most intensively farmed orchard, which therefore recorded the most limited chrysopid diversity with a very marked dominance of Chrysoperla carnea s.l.. No effect of dimethoate treatments on Chrysoperla larvae or C. carnea s.l. adults was observed. However, the presence of insecticide residues was associated with the depletion of Dichochrysa larvae. The absence of herbicide treatments favored C. carnea s.l. adult presence on olive trees while larval abundance decreased. Dichochrysa larvae were more abundant when weed cover received no treatment. In relation to the management systems studied, no difference in Chrysoperla larval abundance was observed between conventional and organic orchards. However, Dichochrysa larvae were more abundant in orchards under organic management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulation of C4d along peritubular capillaries (PTC) of renal allografts is normally attributed to antibody-mediated rejection. The prognostic implication of these deposits associated with "cell-mediated" rejection on graft survival remains uncertain. Our study aims to evaluate the impact of C4d deposits along PTC of patients with acute cell- mediated rejection on graft function and survival. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients transplanted between 2005 and 2010 with histopathologic diagnosis of acute rejection (AR). Eleven patients with "pure" antibody-mediated rejection were excluded. The remaining 79 patients were divided into two groups according to type of AR by Banff 2003 criteria: type I (69.6%) versus type II (30.4%). In each group, comparisons were made between C4d-negative (-) and C4d-positive (+) biopsies. RESULTS Fifty-five patients presented with type I AR: 35 (63.6%) C4d- and 20 (36.4%) C4d+. Twenty-four patients presented with type II AR: 13 (54.2%) C4d- and 11 (45.8%) C4d+. In the type I AR group, graft survival at the first and second years was similar in C4d- and C4d+ patients (94% and 91% versus 75% and 75%, respectively, log-rank P = .26). No differences were encountered in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between subgroups at the first, second, and final years of follow-up. Graft loss occurred in 14.7% of C4d- patients versus 25% in C4d+ patients (P = NS). In the type II AR group, graft survival at the first and second years was similar in C4d- and C4d+ patients (85% and 85% versus 72% and 61%, respectively, log-rank P = .50). No differences were encountered in eGFR between subgroups at the first, second, and final years of follow-up. Graft loss occurred in 30.8% of C4d- patients versus 45.5% in C4d+ patients (P = NS). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that detection of C4d staining in acute "cell-mediated" rejection does not imply a worse renal prognosis.

Abstract
Recombinant human thyrotropin (rhTSH) was developed after bovine thyrotropin (bTSH) was no longer commercially available. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) as an aid to diagnostic follow-up of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in humans and for thyroid remnant ablation with radioiodine. In addition, rhTSH is used in human medicine to evaluate thyroid reserve capacity and to enhance radioiodine uptake in patients with metastatic thyroid cancer and multinodular goiter. Likewise, rhTSH has been used in veterinary medicine over the last decade. The most important veterinary use of rhTSH is thyroidal functional reserve testing for the diagnosis of canine hypothyroidism. Recent pilot studies performed at Ghent University in Belgium have investigated the use of rhTSH to optimize radioiodine treatment of canine thyroid carcinoma and feline hyperthyroidism. Radioiodine treatment optimization may allow a decreased therapeutic dosage of radioiodine and thus may improve radioprotection. This review outlines the current uses of rhTSH in human and veterinary medicine, emphasizing research performed in dogs and cats, as well as potential future applications.

Abstract
Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a locally aggressive skin tumor that affects young and middle-aged adults. A number of histological variants have been described, the myxoid type being one of the least common. Microscopically it is formed of a neoplastic growth that is located in the dermis and hypodermis and has a predominant myxoid component. Peripherally there are infiltrating bundles of spindle-shaped cells that are diffusely positive for the CD34 immunohistochemical marker. We report a case of myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans on a finger of the left hand of a 14-year-old girl. The tumor had been present for at least 10 years. This is the first pediatric case of myxoid dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans at this site. This histological subtype has mainly been described on the extremities in adults and is very rare in children. We discuss the differential diagnosis with other CD34(+) myxoid mesenchymal tumors.

As a result, cerebral oximetry (StcO2) is a mixed oxygen saturation parameter between de-oxide and oxide hemoglobin witch estimates a value between arterial (SaO2) and jugular venous saturation (SvjO2) under physiologic conditions. Complementary to the arterial oxygen saturation measured by pulse oximetry, cerebral tissue oxygen saturation reflects regional cerebral metabolism and the balance of local cerebral oxygen supply and demand. In this article, the authors report two clinical cases, the first case of a 79 year old man, submitted to percutaneous aortic valve bioprothesis femoral implantation, complicated by a stroke event, expressed by cerebral hypoxia in StcO2 monitorization on the left hemisphere and clinical motor deficit evidence, and the second one a 73 year old man, ASA III, submitted to percutaneous aortic valve bioprosthesis subclavian implantation procedure, where no complications were decribed and haemodymic and StcO2 stability was noticed.Given the clinical evidence on the reported cases, StcO2 monitorization revealed to be a relevant and usefull tool, in order to identify cerebral tissue hypoxia in the first case, as well as reflecting the adequate balance of local cerebral oxygen supply and demand, in the later.

Abstract
Abstract
In order to clarify the mechanism of hypotensive activity of platelet activating factor (PAF), the effects of this drug on blood pressure in anaesthetized normotensive rats, on KCl- and noradrenaline-induced 45Ca uptake and contractile responses in rat aorta rings with and without endothelium were studied. PAF (3 μg kg−1, i.v.) showed long-lasting hypotensive effects in anaesthetized normotensive rats accompanied by a significant increase in heart rate. PAF (0·1–10 μm) did not relax the contractions induced by noradrenaline (10 μm) or K+ (60 Mm) in rubbed or intact rat aorta. PAF did not affect the basal uptake of 45Ca2+ nor that induced by the two vasoconstrictor agents. In experiments in a calcium free medium, PAF (10 μm) had no effect on the noradrenaline- (10 μm) induced contractions. These results suggest that the hypotensive activity of PAF in normotensive anaesthetized rats is not due to a direct effect on rubbed and intact rat aorta rings (acting within the cell or blocking Ca2+ influx through l-type transmembrane calcium channels).
