Abstract
Pompe disease (PD) is a neuromuscular disorder caused by acid α-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency. Reduced GAA activity leads to pathological glycogen accumulation in cardiac and skeletal muscles responsible for severe heart impairment, respiratory defects, and muscle weakness. Enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant human GAA (rhGAA) is the standard-of-care treatment for PD, however, its efficacy is limited due to poor uptake in muscle and the development of an immune response. Multiple clinical trials are ongoing in PD with adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors based on liver- and muscle-targeting. Current gene therapy approaches are limited by liver proliferation, poor muscle targeting, and the potential immune response to the hGAA transgene. To generate a treatment tailored to infantile-onset PD, we took advantage of a novel AAV capsid able to increase skeletal muscle targeting compared to AAV9 while reducing liver overload. When combined with a liver-muscle tandem promoter (LiMP), and despite the extensive liver-detargeting, this vector had a limited immune response to the hGAA transgene. This combination of capsid and promoter with improved muscle expression and specificity allowed for glycogen clearance in cardiac and skeletal muscles of Gaa-/- adult mice. In neonate Gaa-/- , complete rescue of glycogen content and muscle strength was observed 6 months after AAV vector injection. Our work highlights the importance of residual liver expression to control the immune response toward a potentially immunogenic transgene expressed in muscle. In conclusion, the demonstration of the efficacy of a muscle-specific AAV capsid-promoter combination for the full rescue of PD manifestation in both neonate and adult Gaa-/- provides a potential therapeutic avenue for the infantile-onset form of this devastating disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Membrane sterility is very necessary considering its function as an implant material. Therefore, this research aims to determine the dose of gamma-ray irradiation for the sterilization of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-collagen-chitosan composite membranes used as regenerative surgery materials. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 100 pieces of the composite membranes were prepared in a size of 2.0 × 1.5 cm by mixing 7.5% PVA, 3% collagen, and 2% chitosan using the film casting method in three batches. Furthermore, the bioburden test was performed to determine the initial microbial count in the sample by following ISO 11737-1. The results were used to ascertain the dose of gamma-ray irradiation on the sample according to ISO 11137-2. The dose verification test was then performed at the sterility assurance level 10-6. RESULTS The average result of the bioburden test from three batches was 6.6 colony forming unit; hence, the verification dose was 4.8 kGy. In the verification dose test, since there was only one contaminated sample, the sterility dose test was continued. CONCLUSION The sterile gamma-ray irradiation dose for PVA-collagen-chitosan composite membrane was 17.1 kGy.

Abstract
Dental implant is a material used in replacing missing teeth. The osseointegration process of dental implants will be affected by the macrodesign of the fixtures. This study aimed to review the dental implant macrodesign in the past 10 years. This study was conducted in a systematic review method using two electronic databases (PUBMED and Science Direct). Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in the last 10 years were used for this review. All the search results were filtered using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews And Meta-Analyses and should fulfill some predefined inclusion criteria. The last step was to assess the methodological quality of the studies using the JBI Checklist for RCT. The search identified 357 studies with only 23 that going through full-text analysis, resulting in 14 articles included in the review. In total, 19 different implant brands were used in 12 different countries. Dental implant macrodesigns were divided into collar design, implant shape, thread geometry, and platform design. The macrodesign features of the implant were mostly developed in the variation of thread geometry and collar design.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of gamma-ray irradiation on the physical, mechanical, and morphological characteristics of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-collagen-chitosan membranes as a guided tissue regeneration membrane material. MATERIAL AND METHOD The membrane was fabricated by mixing PVA, collagen, and chitosan using the film casting method. PVA-collagen-chitosan membranes were irradiated with various radiation dose (0, 15, and 25 kGy). Furthermore, it is characterized using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) for functional group identification, morphological test was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and mechanical properties (i.e., tensile strength and elongation) were evaluated using universal testing machine and swelling studies. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Statistical analysis was performed based on analysis of variance and post hoc with p-value < 0.05. RESULT The FTIR spectrum shows various peaks of functional groups from the PVA-collagen-chitosan membrane. The result of the statistical analysis show changes in tensile strength (p = 0.0004) and membrane elongation (p = 0.000451) at different radiation doses of 0, 15, and 25 kGy. The membrane absorption obtains p-value of 0.0193, while the SEM results show that the PVA-collagen-chitosan membrane homogeneously mixed. CONCLUSION There is an effect of gamma-ray irradiation on tensile strength, elongation, and water absorption of the membranes. Increasing the radiation dose increases the value of tensile strength, while elongation and absorption of the membrane decrease. The PVA-collagen-chitosan membrane has the potential to develop as an alternative membrane for guided tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Abstract
Pathogenic variants in genes that cause dilated (DCM) and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies (ACM) convey high risks for the development of heart failure (HF) through unknown mechanisms. Using single nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNAseq), we characterized the transcriptome of 880,000 nuclei from 18 control and 61 failing, non-ischemic human hearts with pathogenic variants in DCM and ACM genes or idiopathic disease. We performed genotype-stratified analyses of the ventricular cell lineages and transcriptional states. The resultant DCM and ACM ventricular cell atlas demonstrated distinct right and left ventricular responses, highlighting genotype-associated pathways, intercellular interactions, and differential gene expression at single cell resolution. Together these data illuminate both shared and distinct cellular and molecular architectures of human HF and suggest novel candidate therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BackgroundAnti-NOR90 antibodies are directed against a 90-kD nucleolar protein located in the nucleolus organizing regions (NORs), mainly described in systemic sclerosis (SSc) [1, 2, 3] but reported also in other rheumatologic and oncologic diseases [4, 5, 6]. The clinical correlates of anti-NOR90 antibodies are still to be defined because the cohorts described thus far include a low number of patients.ObjectivesTo describe the characteristics of a large cohort of anti-NOR90 antibodies positive patients and compare them with a matched cohort of SSc patients negative for anti-NOR90 antibodies.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on patients positive for anti-NOR90 antibodies referring to participating centres. The concomitant positivity for anti-RNA polymerase III, Th/To, PM-Scl, Ku, and PDGFR antibodies was an exclusion criterion. In all cases the diagnoses, the different organ involvement and related clinical, instrumental and laboratory characteristics were evaluated. The EUROLINE SystemicSclerosisProfile kit from Euroimmun (Lübeck, Germany) was used to detect anti-NOR90 antibodies.ResultsWe included 101 patients positive for anti-NOR90 (M/F=13/88, mean age 52.5 years). They were mainly classified as SSc (n=38), undifferentiated connective tissue disease (UCTD) (n=21), interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) (n=11) (graph 1). The most frequent clinical manifestations were arthralgias (n=72), Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) (n=58), sicca syndrome (n=49), ILD (n=40), puffy fingers (n=32), arthritis (n=30), and limited skin sclerosis (n=24). Anti-NOR90 antibodies were associated with anti-Ro52 antibodies in the 16% of cases, with anticentromere antibodies in the 7% of cases, and with anti-Scl70 in the 5% of cases. After excluding these patients, and considering the isolated anti-NOR90 positivity, 12 patients had SSc, 35 UCTD, and 11 IPAF. The most frequent clinical manifestations were arthralgias (n=40), RP (n=37), and sicca syndrome (n=21). Compared to 242 matched SSc without anti-NOR90 antibodies, patients with anti-NOR90 had more frequently joint manifestations and sicca syndrome and less frequently all vasculopathic manifestations (RP, telangiectasias, pitting scars, acral ulcers), dysphagia and fibromyalgia.ConclusionOur study shows that anti-NOR90 antibodies are more commonly observed in females, and clinically associated with the occurrence of arthritis/arthralgias, sicca syndrome and RP. In more than the 50% of cases they may be found with other autoantibodies, such as the anti-Ro52, the anticentromere, and the anti-Scl70 antibodies. Anti-NOR90 seems to play an accompanying role in the context of CTDs, without strong influence on the clinical phenotype expression of the underlying CTD.References[1]Rodriguez-Sanchez et al., Anti-NOR 90.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Demand for rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is rising and the role is increasingly being performed by non-medical cytologists. Undergraduate training for cytologists has traditionally focused on laboratory-based procedural activities and their theoretical underpinning, with minimal attention given to communication and other skills required to operate in an interprofessional setting. We evaluated the effectiveness and student reaction to a simulation-based education (SBE) exercise in ROSE designed to fill this void. METHODS We designed and evaluated a SBE exercise based on FNA ROSE across two tertiary institutions with 79 students. The exercise accurately reproduced the demands on cytologists operating as part of a multi-disciplinary team in a time- pressured environment. FINDINGS Pre- and post-simulation questionnaires indicated an improvement in technical knowledge related to the procedure. Students' perception of their competence and confidence in their role also improved significantly post simulation. Students uniformly found the exercise engaging and a valuable addition to their curriculum. DISCUSSION The simulation successfully provided a pseudo-clinical environment that highlighted the realities of practising technical and diagnostic tasks under time- pressure and interacting with other health professionals to provide an optimal patient outcome. The exercise is useful supplement to on-the-job training for ROSE.

Abstract
Persea lingue Ness is a tree species that lives mainly in temperate forests of south-central Chile. Its leaves are used in ethnomedicine, the fruit is a drupe similar to that of the avocado and has not been studied. The aim of this study was to determine the cytotoxicity in leukemia cell and antibacterial activity, along with some chemical content characteristics of P. lingue fruit and leaf extracts. The antibacterial activity was determined by the inhibition of bacterial growth in liquid medium assay against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The leukemia cell lines Kasumi-1 and Jurkat were used to evaluate the cytotoxic activity by using propidium iodide and AlamarBlue assays. Total phenolic, flavonoid, condensed tannin, alkaloid and lipid contents were evaluated in the fruit and in the leaf extracts. The antioxidant activity of both extracts were also elavaluated. Leaf extract presented the highest content of total phenols, condensed tannins and flavonoids, and also the highest antioxidant activity. While the fruit extract has a higher amount of lipids and alkaloids and the high antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus megaterium and Micrococcus luteus. The leaf extract only showed activity against M. luteus. Concerning the cytotoxic activity, only the fruit extract showed cytotoxicity against the cell lines Jurkat and Kasumi-1. P. lingue fruit extract is a potential source of biologically active molecules for the development of new drugs to be used in some types of leukemia, as well as antibacterial agent.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pleural mesothelioma is a deadly asbestos induced cancer. Less than 10% of mesothelioma patients survive 5 years post diagnosis. However survival can range from a few months to a number of years. Accurate prediction of survival is important for patients to plan for their remaining life, and for clinicians to determine appropriate therapy. One unusual feature of mesothelioma is that patients frequently present with tumor-associated pleural effusions early in the course of the disease. OBJECTIVE: To study whether cells and molecules present in pleural effusions provide prognostic information for mesothelioma. METHODS: We profiled the cellular constituents and concentrations of 40 cytokines, chemokines and cellular factors (collectively “soluble factors”) involved in inflammatory and immune signalling pathways in pleural effusion samples from 50 mesothelioma patients. Associations with survival were evaluated by Cox proportional hazards regression methods. Results for the two soluble factors most significantly and independently associated with survival were validated in an independent set of samples (n= 51) using a separate assay system. RESULTS: Survival analysis revealed that IL8, IL2Ra (CD25) and PF4 were independent determinants of a more negative prognosis in mesothelioma patients, independent of other known prognostic factors. Lipocalin2 and IL4 were associated with better prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates that pleural effusions rich in a range of soluble factors are associated with poor prognosis. These findings will enhance our ability to prognosticate outcomes in mesothelioma patients.

Abstract
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the clinical assessment results of periimplant soft tissue with morse taper (internal abutment connection). Methods: The study was conducted using a rapid review by searching the articles from PubMed NCBI and Cochrane by using keywords. All articles were selected by the year, duplication, title, abstract, full-text, and finally, all selected articles were processed for final review. Following clinical parameters were included; Periimplant Probing Pocket Depth (PPD), Plaque Score (PS), modified Plaque Index (mPI), Mucosal Thickness (MTh), Gingival Height (GH), periimplant mucosal zenith, Pink Esthetic Score (PES), Bleeding On Probing (BOP), Sulcus Bleeding Index (SBI), and modified Gingival Index (mGI). Results: 9 selected articles were obtained from the initial literature searching count of 70 articles. The overall samples included 326 morse taper implants. Based on the evaluation, 3 out of 4 articles reported pocket depth < 4 mm, no bleeding was reported in 2 out of 4 articles. 4 out of 4 articles reported low plaque accumulation, low soft tissue recession was reported in 3 out of 3 articles, and 4 out of 4 articles reported acceptable PES values. Conclusion: The evaluations indicate that the morse taper (internal abutment connection) has favorable assessment results based on various clinical parameters.

Abstract
Ustekinumab (UST), a human anti-IL12/23p40 monoclonal antibody, was approved by FDA and EMA for the treatment of moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD). Whether UST is effective in inducing deep remission, including mucosal healing and transmural healing, in patients with CD in a real life setting is not completely clear. This study was performed on 92 subjects with confirmed diagnosis of moderate to severe Crohn's disease and no neoplasia. Before inclusion, all patients had been exposed and had failed to respond to conventional and/or at least one biological therapy. All patients underwent endoscopic examination and bowel MRI and ultrasonography at baseline (T0). At week 52 (T52), patients underwent colonoscopy for assessment of mucosal healing and MRI or ultrasonography for assessment of transmural healing. CDAI was used for the assessment of clinical response and clinical remission. SES-CD was used to assess endoscopic response and remission. Incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) was recorded during the study period. Clinical response at week 52 was achieved in 38 (50.5%) patients and clinical remission in 29 (39%). Twenty-six (34%) patients showed mucosal healing, 34 (45%) showed partial endoscopic response. We observed a reduction in SES-CD of at least 50% in 34 (45%) patients as well as an SES-CD ≤ 2 in 26 (35%) patients. All patients with mucosal healing also showed transmural healing. No major TRAEs were observed during treatment. In this multicenter, real life study, we show that UST was well tolerated and effective in inducing clinical response and clinical remission in patients with moderate to severe CD who had previously failed to respond to conventional or biologic therapy. UST showed limited efficacy in inducing deep remission (i.e. mucosal+transmural healing).

Abstract
Within human modified ecosystems the effects of individual stressors are difficult to establish amid co-occurring biological processes, environmental gradients and other stressors. Coupled examination of several endpoints across different levels of organisation may help elucidate the individual and combined effects of stressors and interactions. Malathion is a commonly used organophosphate pesticide that contaminates freshwaters and has strong negative effects on aquatic biota. However, both other stressors (e.g. increased sediment) and common ecosystem components (e.g. macrophytes and variable pH) can reduce the aqueous concentrations of malathion, reducing its toxic effects. We conducted a fully orthogonal bioassay to examine how pH (at 7 and 7.8) and sorptive processes (across two levels of kaoline clay 0 and 24 g L-1) affected aqueous malathion concentrations and toxicity in an aquatic invertebrate genus. Survival and acetylcholinesterase activity as a sub-organism response were examined in the mayfly Coloburiscoides spp. (Ephemeroptera; Coluburiscidae). Measured aqueous malathion concentrations decreased with increased pH and in the presence of kaolin clay. Survival declined with increasing malathion concentrations and exposure period. Results further identify that antagonism of malathion toxicity was associated with both pH (alkaline hydrolysis) and effects associated with sediment independent of pH (driven by sorptive processes). However, model predictions varied associated with target and measured concentrations and concentrations examined. Antagonistic effects were most apparent using subset target malathion concentrations because of the dominant effect of malathion at high concentrations. Acetylcholinesterase activity, identified repression occurred across all treatments and did not identify antagonistic interactions, but these results were similar to survival responses at the time points examined (i.e. 120 h). Examination of chemistry, acetylcholinesterase, and survival, affords greater understanding of stressor effects and their interactions. Measured malathion concentrations may underestimate effects on aquatic biota; not because of synergism among stressors, but because of strong effects despite antagonism.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Socio-cultural factors obscure diagnostic specificity for neurodegenerative disorders, particularly among minority or foreign-born patients with limited access to education. Our objective with the following case presentation is to illustrate the utility of a Socially Responsible Neuropsychology (SRN) model in guiding clinical practice through the comprehensive incorporation of significant, yet common, socio-cultural factors throughout the neuropsychological assessment.
Method
The present case involved a 79-year-old Spanish-speaking Mexican woman with two years of education, who underwent two serial neuropsychological assessments, as well as, structural/functional neuroimaging to monitor acute onset of telegraphic speech following the kidnapping of her husband. The SRN model guided clinical decision-making in understanding the onset and progression of symptoms within the context of medical-psychiatric comorbidities intertwined with socio-cultural and educational factors.
Results
Mild vascular neurocognitive disorder and complicated grief were the initial diagnostic impressions as supported by structural neuroimaging. Neuropsychological assessment over time, however, revealed progressive global cognitive decline whereas psychiatric symptomatology remained stable. In the presence of equivocal converging evidence from available neuroimaging studies (PET vs MRI), strong suspicion for the language variant of frontotemporal neurocognitive disorder was considered given the onset and progressive decline of expressive/receptive language, executive and memory abilities, and qualitative evidence for progressive behavioral disihibition.
Conclusion
Telegraphic speech in an elderly Latina woman that initially appeared most consistent with vascular neurocognitive disorder in the context of complex trauma with possible conversion disorder, was deemed most consistent with a neurodegenerative process after careful consideration of the time course and evolution of the neurocognitive profile over time within an SRN model.

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
Early identification of cognitive symptoms pathognomonic of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in highly educated bilingual adults remains challenging. We present a clinical case illustrating the application of an SRN model in a 70-year-old highly educated, balanced bilingual Latina eventually diagnosed with moderate-severe stages of AD following an event of severe confusion and disorientation.
Method
An SRN model was applied to promote equitable care through evidence-based consideration of cognitive aging-reserve and its putative manifestation in neurodegenerative disorders. The patient underwent a neuropsychological assessment and structural/functional neuroimaging. Her educational background, linguistic proficiencies, acculturation level, social/behavioral comportment, and limitations in available neuropsychological tools/norms were integrated to reflect the complexity in conducting a reliable bilingual assessment and formulating differential diagnoses.
Results
The SRN model guided clinical decision-making to determine the appropriate target language for bilingual assessment, and to identify reliable normative anchors of impairment relative to premorbid estimates, resulting in incorporation of validated Spanish measures/norms. Neuroimaging revealed bilateral parietal-temporal hypometabolism, which was generally consistent with neuropsychological findings, and the patient was diagnosed with major neurocognitive disorder due to AD.
Conclusions
Given the advanced nature of this patient’s cognitive decline by the time of assessment, it was hypothesized that the combination of bilingualism and high education further masked the precipitous decline atypically observed in AD individuals with high cognitive reserve. Cognitive reserve theories, nonetheless, continue to be anchored strictly within a monocultural-monolingual framework. This complex case, therefore, highlights the urgent need to incorporate bilingualism in current models of cognitive reserve to boost sensitivity in detecting early expression of bilingual AD.

Abstract
We propose and investigate a new type of photonic crystal (PhC) cavity for integrated quantum photonics, which provides tailored optical modes with both confined and extended spatial components. The structures consist of elongated PhC cavities in which the effective index of refraction is varied quasi-linearly along their axis, implemented by systematic lateral shifts of the PhC holes. The confined modes have approximately Airy-function envelopes, exhibiting single peaks and extended tails, which is useful for optimizing single photon extraction and transmission in integrated quantum photonic devices. The measured spectrally resolved near-field patterns of such devices show the expected spatial and resonance wavelength behavior, in agreement with numerical simulations of the Airy-Bloch modes. The effects of fabrication-induced disorder on the mode features are also analyzed and discussed. Selective excitation of specific Airy-Bloch modes using integrated, site-controlled quantum dots as localized light sources is demonstrated. Based on the tilted-potential cavity, multiple-QD single photon emitters exploiting wavelength division multiplexing are proposed.

Abstract
Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) is a biotechnology widely used for genetic improvement in cattle; however, there is great variability in donor response. Differences between management, genotype, environmental conditions, among other factors, can affect MOET results. The traditional protocols consist of 8 twice-daily FSH applications in decreasing dosages over 4 days. Reducing donor handling during MOET is an alternative for embryo production. The aim of this research was to evaluate a simplified protocol, testing single daily administrations of FSH over 4 days, without modifying the total dose calculated for treatment. The study was conducted in northern Mexico. Beef cattle donors (n=30) were used, 15 with control treatment (CT) and 15 with simplified treatment (ST). All donors were examined beforehand, focusing on the reproductive tract and body score condition, i.e. 5 to 7 (scale of 1-9). Intravaginal devices (IVD) Dispocel Max (Von Franken, Buenos Aires, Argentina) with 1.2g of progesterone were inserted and 2.5mg of oestradiol benzoate (Internacional Prode, Mexico) IM was applied on Day 0; FSH (Folltropin-V, Vetoquinol, Lure, France), applications were started on day 4. For CT, the FSH administration was done twice daily (at a 12-h interval), in 8 decreasing doses, and 150µg of D-cloprostenol (D-CLO; Prostagenol-D, International Prode, Guadalajara, Mexico) was administered IM in the morning and afternoon of Day 6. In the ST, donors were treated with once-daily injections of decreasing doses of FSH over 4 days, and 150µg of D-CLO was administered IM on Days 6 and 7. The IVD were removed on Day 7 and oestrus was detected using heat detection patches. Artificial insemination was performed using conventional frozen semen at 12, 20, and, in case of persistent heat, 30h after oestrus detection. Embryo collection was performed 7 days after insemination. The ovarian response was assessed by counting the corpora lutea (CL) detected by ultrasound. Embryo collection was performed by closed method. Analysis of variance was used with the GLM procedure in SAS software (version 9.3; SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA), to evaluate the results of ST compared with CT (α-level=0.05). The cattle breed and ranch identification were considered in the analyses. The number of CL in ST and CT was 6.8±1.6 and 8.8±1.5, respectively. The number of oocytes/embryos recovered in ST and CT were 7.3±3.0 and 11.4±2.7, respectively. The number of viable embryos (transferred or frozen) in ST and CT were 2.6±1.7 and 4.7±1.6, respectively. The number of unfertilized oocytes were 2.8±1.5 in ST and 4.2±1.3 in CT. The number of degenerated embryos in the ST were 2.0±1.1 and 1.0±1.0 in the CT. There were no significant differences between groups (P>0.05) for all variables analysed. Although the number of transferable embryos was numerically higher in the CT group, differences were not significant. Nevertheless, ST can be an alternative superovulation protocol, because working once a day saves time and facilitates the implementation of the MOET technique.

Abstract
Theoretical studies on the effect of Li on the electronic properties of porous silicon are still scarce; these studies could help us in the development of Li-ion batteries of this material which overcomes some limitations that bulk silicon has. In this work, the effect of interstitial and surface Li on the electronic properties of porous Si is studied using the first-principles density functional theory approach and the generalised gradient approximation. The pores are modeled by removing columns of atoms of an otherwise perfect Si crystal, dangling bonds of all surfaces are passivated with H atoms, and then Li is inserted on interstitial positions on the pore wall and compared with the replacement of H atoms with Li. The results show that the interstitial Li creates effects similar to n-type doping where the Fermi level is shifted towards the conduction band with band crossings of the said level thus acquiring metallic characteristics. The surface Li introduces trap-like states in the electronic band structures which increase as the number of Li atom increases with a tendency to become metallic. These results could be important for the application of porous Si nanostructures in Li-ion batteries technology.

Abstract
Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are considered as potential chemical sensors due to their large surface-to-volume ratio and their possible integration into arrays for nanotechnological applications. Detection of harmful gases like CO has been experimentally demonstrated, however, the influence of doping on the sensing capacity of SiNWs has not yet been reported. For this work, we theoretically studied the surface adsorption of a CO molecule on hydrogen-passivated SiNWs grown along the [111] crystallographic direction and compared it with the adsorption of other molecules such as NO, and O2. Three nanowire diameters and three dopant elements (B, Al and Ga) were considered, and calculations were done within the density functional theory framework. The results indicate that CO molecules are more strongly adsorbed on the doped SiNW than on the pristine SiNW. The following trend was observed for the CO adsorption energies: E A[B-doped] > E A[Al-doped] > E A[Ga-doped] > E A[undoped], for all diameters. The electronic charge transfers between the SiNWs and the adsorbed CO were estimated by using a Voronoi population analysis. The CO adsorbed onto the undoped SiNWs has an electron-acceptor character, while the CO adsorbed onto the B-, Al-, and Ga-doped SiNWs exhibits an electron-donor character. Comparing these results with the ones obtained for the NO and O2 adsorption, the larger CO adsorption energy on B-doped SiNWs indicates their good selectivity towards CO. These results suggest that SiNW-based sensors of toxic gases could represent a clear and advantageous application of nanotechnology in the improvement of human quality of life.

Abstract
Semiconductor nanowire arrays promise rapid development of a new generation of lithium (Li) batteries because they can store more Li atoms than conventional crystals due to their large surface areas. During the charge-discharge process, the electrodes experience internal stresses that fatigue the material and limit the useful life of the battery. The theoretical study of electronic and mechanical properties of lithiated nanowire arrays allows the designing of electrode materials that could improve battery performance. In this work, we present a density functional theory study of the electronic band structure, formation energy, binding energy, and Young's modulus (Y) of hydrogen passivated germanium nanowires (H-GeNWs) grown along the [111] and [001] crystallographic directions with surface and interstitial Li atoms. The results show that the germanium nanowires (GeNWs) with surface Li atoms maintain their semiconducting behavior but their energy gap size decreases when the Li concentration grows. In contrast, the GeNWs can have semiconductor or metallic behavior depending on the concentration of the interstitial Li atoms. On the other hand, Y is an indicator of the structural changes that GeNWs suffer due to the concentration of Li atoms. For surface Li atoms, Y stays almost constant, whereas for interstitial Li atoms, the Y values indicate important structural changes in the GeNWs.

Abstract
The filmy fern Hymenophyllum caudiculatum can lose 60% of its relative water content, remain dry for some time and recover 88% of photochemical efficiency after 30 min of rehydration. Little is known about the protective strategies and regulation of the cellular rehydration process in this filmy fern species. The aim of this study was to characterise the filmy fern ultrastructure during a desiccation-rehydration cycle, and measure the physiological effects of transcription/translation inhibitors and ABA during desiccation recovery. Confocal and transmission electron microscopy were used to compare changes in structure during fast or slow desiccation. Transcription (actinomycin D) and translation (cycloheximide) inhibitors and ABA were used to compare photochemical efficiency during desiccation recovery. Cell structure was conserved during slow desiccation and rehydration, constitutive properties of the cell wall, allowing invagination and folding of the membranes and an important change in chloroplast size. The use of a translational inhibitor impeded recovery of photochemical efficiency during the first 80 min of rehydration, but the transcriptional inhibitor had no effect. Exogenous ABA delayed photochemical inactivation, and endogenous ABA levels decreased during desiccation and rehydration. Frond curling and chloroplast movements are possible strategies to avoid photodamage. Constitutive membrane plasticity and rapid cellular repair can be adaptations evolved to tolerate a rapid recovery during rehydration. Further research is required to explore the importance of existing mRNAs during the first minutes of recovery, and ABA function during desiccation of H. caudiculatum.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic cystitis is generally a benign self-limited disorder, however there are some severe cases which are associated to a significant blood loss. The etiology may be either bacterial, viral or chemical in origin; though the cause is not identified in most of the cases. Immunocompromised patients or patients who have undergone chemotherapy or radiation constitute the highest risk group. There are only a few articles about hemorrhagic cystitis in pregnancy, frequently associated with preterm labor. We describe, for the first time in literature, one patient with a clinical status of hematuria in two consequent pregnancies, without any identified cause and a medical history negative for recurrent or hemorrhagic cystitis and we report an overview of literature concerning this topic.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Numerous studies have demonstrated the difference in the verbal rating scale with regard to obstructed labour and induced labour, so that obstructed labour and foetal macrosomia have been related to a greater sensation of pain during labour, particularly in the first stage. Even the epidural analgesia is linked to the need for instrumented or caesarean section due to foetal obstruction. The goal of the study is to analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of epidural analgesia in normal versus obstructed labour. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and eighty pregnant women were included in an observational, analytical, longitudinal and prospective study, that was performed in the Obstetrics Department of the Hospital Universitario Dexeus. All the nulliparous or multiparous over 36 weeks of pregnancy, after 3cm of cervical dilatation in spontaneous or induced labor were included. All the patients were given epidural analgesia according to protocol. RESULTS The basic descriptive methods were used for the univariate statistical analysis of the sample and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison of means between both groups. The correlations between variables were studied by means of the Spearman coefficient of correlation. The differences regarded as statistically significant are those whose P<.05. CONCLUSION In our population there were no statistically significant differences in the effectiveness of epidural analgesia in normal versus obstructed labour. Patients who got epidural analgesia and had obstructed labors have the same degree of verbal rating scale as patients that do not had obstructed labors (P>.05).
