Abstract
The inclusive electron neutrino charged-current cross section is measured in the NOvA near detector using 8.02×10^{20} protons-on-target in the NuMI beam. The sample of GeV electron neutrino interactions is the largest analyzed to date and is limited by ≃17% systematic rather than the ≃7.4% statistical uncertainties. The double-differential cross section in final-state electron energy and angle is presented for the first time, together with the single-differential dependence on Q^{2} (squared four-momentum transfer) and energy, in the range 1 GeV≤E_{ν}<6 GeV. Detailed comparisons are made to the predictions of the GENIE, GiBUU, NEUT, and NuWro neutrino event generators. The data do not strongly favor a model over the others consistently across all three cross sections measured, though some models have especially good or poor agreement in the single differential cross section vs Q^{2}.

Abstract
This Letter reports results from the first long-baseline search for sterile antineutrinos mixing in an accelerator-based antineutrino-dominated beam. The rate of neutral-current interactions in the two NOvA detectors, at distances of 1 and 810 km from the beam source, is analyzed using an exposure of 12.51×10^{20} protons-on-target from the NuMI beam at Fermilab running in antineutrino mode. A total of 121 of neutral-current candidates are observed at the far detector, compared to a prediction of 122±11(stat.)±15(syst.) assuming mixing only between three active flavors. No evidence for ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{s} oscillation is observed. Interpreting this result within a 3+1 model, constraints are placed on the mixing angles θ_{24}<25° and θ_{34}<32° at the 90% C.L. for 0.05 eV^{2}≤Δm_{41}^{2}≤0.5 eV^{2}, the range of mass splittings that produces no significant oscillations at the near detector. These are the first 3+1 confidence limits set using long-baseline accelerator antineutrinos.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to report those variables which are readily identifiable at the bedside and that are able to predict mortality in patients with bacteraemia caused by anaerobes. Patients with clinically significant anaerobic bacteraemias detected between January 2016 and December 2019 in a tertiary hospital in Granada (Spain) were retrospectively included. Species identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS and/or molecular methods. Finally, 136 cases of anaerobic bacteraemia were included, being the most frequent anaerobes Bacteroides (45.5%; n = 62), Clostridium (24.2%, n = 33), and Gram-positive anaerobic cocci (16.1%, n = 22). Crude mortality was 25.7%, corresponding to 35 patients who died, with 82.8% of deaths directly attributable to bacteraemia. A multivariable logistic regression model with non-parametric bootstrap estimation identified three variables that were independently and significantly associated with an increased risk of death: 1) hospitalization in the intensive care unit; 2) septic shock; and 3) presence of any kind of cancer. These variables were as recorded at the time that the first positive blood culture was obtained. An index score, obtained from these variables, was calculated and divided patients into two groups with increasing likelihood of mortality resulting from anaerobic bacteraemia. The sensitivity and specificity of a prediction of death based on this model were 65.2% and 97%, respectively.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore Leishmania infantum epidemiology through a One Health approach that promotes a better estimation of leishmaniasis burden and a deeper understanding of the spatial distribution of the key actors of the parasite life cycle (vectors, reservoirs and humans). We conducted a 14-year mixed retrospective and prospective study of leishmaniasis cases in an endemic area in southern Spain (Granada province), to estimate the human incidence and its association with the vector presence, cryptic leishmaniasis rates and canine leishmaniasis prevalence. We found an annual linear increase in the incidence that cannot be fully explained by active case surveillance and the improvement of PCR diagnostic techniques. 49.4% of cases were not reported to the surveillance system. Approximately half of the human cases correspond to the visceral form that occurred more frequently in men; cutaneous, mucosal and cryptic forms were also detected. Leishmaniasis is no longer a disease of young children, accounting for a quarter of immunocompetent patients and most infected people remained asymptomatic. Human and canine leishmaniasis, cryptic or symptomatic, are present in the whole province, where there is a medium/high risk of the presence of Phlebotomus perniciosus, the main vector. We found association between the incidence of human leishmaniasis and the presence of the vector, but not with the prevalence of canine leishmaniasis and cryptic human leishmaniasis. A potential hot spot was also found, where high leishmaniasis incidence may be associated to the involvement of host species other than dogs.

Abstract
The NOvA experiment has seen a 4.4σ signal of ν[over ¯]_{e} appearance in a 2 GeV ν[over ¯]_{μ} beam at a distance of 810 km. Using 12.33×10^{20} protons on target delivered to the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beamline, the experiment recorded 27 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{e} candidates with a background of 10.3 and 102 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→ν[over ¯]_{μ} candidates. This new antineutrino data are combined with neutrino data to measure the parameters |Δm_{32}^{2}|=2.48_{-0.06}^{+0.11}×10^{-3} eV^{2}/c^{4} and sin^{2}θ_{23} in the ranges from (0.53-0.60) and (0.45-0.48) in the normal neutrino mass hierarchy. The data exclude most values near δ_{CP}=π/2 for the inverted mass hierarchy by more than 3σ and favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy by 1.9σ and θ_{23} values in the upper octant by 1.6σ.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to report on the antimicrobial susceptibility of 276 clinically significant anaerobic bacteria belonging to the major genera isolated between May 2017 and November 2018 in a tertiary hospital in Granada (Spain) and to describe key clinical features of the patients. Species identification was performed by MALDI-TOF MS. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests were performed against penicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic, imipenem, meropenem, moxifloxacin, clindamycin, metronidazole, vancomycin, and piperacillin-tazobactam using the gradient diffusion technique and EUCAST breakpoints (except for moxifloxacin). The most frequent anaerobes were Bacteroides (29.7%; n = 82), Clostridioides difficile (15.9%, n = 44), Prevotella (10.8%, n = 30), and Propionibacterium (10.7%, n = 25). Metronidazole was not universally active against all genera tested, and some isolates showed resistance to this drug. Almost all tested anaerobes were susceptible to carbapenems and amoxicillin-clavulanate except for Clostridioides difficile (resistance rate of 94%) and Bacteroides (19%), respectively. High overall resistance rates to clindamycin were observed, especially for genera Finegoldia (54%), Bacteroides (49%), and Prevotella (40%). Resistance rates to carbapenems and amoxicillin-clavulanate were very low for the majority of tested genera but were high for Clostridioides difficile and Bacteroides spp., respectively. Resistance to clindamycin was very high, especially for Bacteroides, Finegoldia magna, Prevotella and Peptoniphilus. Routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing for anaerobes contributes information on the global situation and allows empirical therapies to be selected in accordance with local data on resistant strains.

Abstract
Final-state kinematic imbalances are measured in mesonless production of ν_{μ}+A→μ^{-}+p+X in the MINERvA tracker. Initial- and final-state nuclear effects are probed using the direction of the μ^{-}-p transverse momentum imbalance and the initial-state momentum of the struck neutron. Differential cross sections are compared to predictions based on current approaches to medium modeling. These models underpredict the cross section at intermediate intranuclear momentum transfers that generally exceed the Fermi momenta. As neutrino interaction models need to correctly incorporate the effect of the nucleus in order to predict neutrino energy resolution in oscillation experiments, this result points to a region of phase space where additional cross section strength is needed in current models, and demonstrates a new technique that would be suitable for use in fine-grained liquid argon detectors where the effect of the nucleus may be even larger.

Abstract
Brain abscess caused by Nocardia paucivorans is an infrequent infection in humans. Molecular speciation has revolutionized the study of Nocardia spp. infections. N. paucivorans brain abscess has a favourable prognosis with long-term antimicrobial therapy. Antimcirobial susceptibility testing is a useful guide to therapy.
Nocardia paucivorans brain abscesses are unusual in humans. Sixteen cases of this infection have been reported in the world medical literature. There is precise clinical information available from nine patients. All of these patients recovered or were cured from their brain disease with long-term antimicrobial treatment. Surgical drainage was performed in four patients.

Abstract
We report on multinucleon effects in low momentum transfer (<0.8 GeV/c) antineutrino interactions on plastic (CH) scintillator. These data are from the 2010-2011 antineutrino phase of the MINERvA experiment at Fermilab. The hadronic energy spectrum of this inclusive sample is well described when a screening effect at a low energy transfer and a two-nucleon knockout process are added to a relativistic Fermi gas model of quasielastic, Δ resonance, and higher resonance processes. In this analysis, model elements introduced to describe previously published neutrino results have quantitatively similar benefits for this antineutrino sample. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to accelerate the investigation of alternate models for antineutrino scattering off nuclei.

Abstract
Neutral-current production of K^{+} by atmospheric neutrinos is a background in searches for the proton decay p→K^{+}ν[over ¯]. Reactions such as νp→νK^{+}Λ are indistinguishable from proton decays when the decay products of the Λ are below detection threshold. Events with K^{+} are identified in MINERvA by reconstructing the timing signature of a K^{+} decay at rest. A sample of 201 neutrino-induced neutral-current K^{+} events is used to measure differential cross sections with respect to the K^{+} kinetic energy, and the non-K^{+} hadronic visible energy. An excess of events at low hadronic visible energy is observed relative to the prediction of the neut event generator. Good agreement is observed with the cross section prediction of the genie generator. A search for photons from π^{0} decay, which would veto a neutral-current K^{+} event in a proton decay search, is performed, and a 2σ deficit of detached photons is observed relative to the genie prediction.

Abstract
This Letter reports new results on muon neutrino disappearance from NOvA, using a 14 kton detector equivalent exposure of 6.05×10^{20} protons on target from the NuMI beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The measurement probes the muon-tau symmetry hypothesis that requires maximal θ_{23} mixing (θ_{23}=π/4). Assuming the normal mass hierarchy, we find Δm_{32}^{2}=(2.67±0.11)×10^{-3} eV^{2} and sin^{2}θ_{23} at the two statistically degenerate values 0.404_{-0.022}^{+0.030} and 0.624_{-0.030}^{+0.022}, both at the 68% confidence level. Our data disfavor the maximal mixing scenario with 2.6σ significance.

Abstract
Most urinary tract infections (UTI) are uncomplicated infections occurring in young women. An extensive evaluation is not required in the majority of cases, and they can be safely managed as outpatients with oral antibiotics. Escherichia coli is by far the most common uropathogen, accounting for >80% of all cases. Other major clinical problems associated with UTI include asymptomatic bacteriuria, and patients with complicated UTI. Complicated UTIs are a heterogeneous group associated with conditions that increase the risk of acquiring infection or treatment failure. Distinguishing between complicated and uncomplicated UTI is important, as it influences the initial evaluation, choice, and duration of antimicrobial therapy. Diagnosis is especially challenging in the elderly and in patients with in-dwelling catheters. The increasing prevalence of resistant uropathogens, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae, and other multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms further compromises treatment of both complicated and uncomplicated UTIs. The aim of these Clinical Guidelines is to provide a set of recommendations for improving the diagnosis and treatment of UTI.

Abstract
The MINERvA experiment observes an excess of events containing electromagnetic showers relative to the expectation from Monte Carlo simulations in neutral-current neutrino interactions with mean beam energy of 4.5 GeV on a hydrocarbon target. The excess is characterized and found to be consistent with neutral-current π^{0} production with a broad energy distribution peaking at 7 GeV and a total cross section of 0.26±0.02(stat.)±0.08(sys.)×10^{-39} cm^{2}. The angular distribution, electromagnetic shower energy, and spatial distribution of the energy depositions of the excess are consistent with expectations from neutrino neutral-current diffractive π^{0} production from hydrogen in the hydrocarbon target. These data comprise the first direct experimental observation and constraint for a reaction that poses an important background process in neutrino-oscillation experiments searching for ν_{μ} to ν_{e} oscillations.

Abstract
Neutrino-induced charged-current coherent kaon production ν_{μ}A→μ^{-}K^{+}A is a rare, inelastic electroweak process that brings a K^{+} on shell and leaves the target nucleus intact in its ground state. This process is significantly lower in rate than the neutrino-induced charged-current coherent pion production because of Cabibbo suppression and a kinematic suppression due to the larger kaon mass. We search for such events in the scintillator tracker of MINERvA by observing the final state K^{+}, μ^{-}, and no other detector activity, and by using the kinematics of the final state particles to reconstruct the small momentum transfer to the nucleus, which is a model-independent characteristic of coherent scattering. We find the first experimental evidence for the process at 3σ significance.

Abstract
The first direct measurement of electron neutrino quasielastic and quasielasticlike scattering on hydrocarbon in the few-GeV region of incident neutrino energy has been carried out using the MINERvA detector in the NuMI beam at Fermilab. The flux-integrated differential cross sections in the electron production angle, electron energy, and Q^{2} are presented. The ratio of the quasielastic, flux-integrated differential cross section in Q^{2} for ν_{e} with that of similarly selected ν_{μ}-induced events from the same exposure is used to probe assumptions that underpin conventional treatments of charged-current ν_{e} interactions used by long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The data are found to be consistent with lepton universality and are well described by the predictions of the neutrino event generator GENIE.

Abstract
Two different nuclear-medium effects are isolated using a low three-momentum transfer subsample of neutrino-carbon scattering data from the MINERvA neutrino experiment. The observed hadronic energy in charged-current ν_{μ} interactions is combined with muon kinematics to permit separation of the quasielastic and Δ(1232) resonance processes. First, we observe a small cross section at very low energy transfer that matches the expected screening effect of long-range nucleon correlations. Second, additions to the event rate in the kinematic region between the quasielastic and Δ resonance processes are needed to describe the data. The data in this kinematic region also have an enhanced population of multiproton final states. Contributions predicted for scattering from a nucleon pair have both properties; the model tested in this analysis is a significant improvement but does not fully describe the data. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to enable further investigation of nuclear models. Improved description of the effects of the nuclear environment are required by current and future neutrino oscillation experiments.

Abstract
The aim of this research is to evaluate the co-digestion of cow and llama manure combined with sheep manure, in psychrophilic conditions and real field low cost tubular digesters adapted to cold climate. Four digesters were monitored in cold climate conditions; one fed with cow manure, a second one with llama manure, the third one with co-digestion of cow-sheep manure and the fourth one was fed with llama-sheep manure. The slurry had a mean temperature of 16.6 °C, the organic load rate was 0.44 kgvs m(-3) d(-1) and the hydraulic retention time was 80 days. After one hundred days biogas production was stable, as was the methane content and the pH of the effluent. The co-digestion of cow-sheep manure results in a biogas production increase of 100% compared to the mono-digestion of cow manure, while co-digestion of llama-sheep manure results in a decrease of 50% in biogas production with respect to mono-digestion of llama manure.

Abstract
Neutrino-induced coherent charged pion production on nuclei νμA→μ(±)π(∓)A is a rare, inelastic interaction in which a small squared four-momentum |t| is transferred to the recoil nucleus, leaving it intact in the reaction. In the scintillator tracker of MINERvA, we remove events with evidence of particles from nuclear breakup and reconstruct |t| from the final-state pion and muon. We select low |t| events to isolate a sample rich in coherent candidates. By selecting low |t| events, we produce a model-independent measurement of the differential cross section for coherent scattering of neutrinos and antineutrinos on carbon. We find poor agreement with the predicted kinematics in neutrino generators used by current oscillation experiments.

Abstract
The aim of this research is to evaluate the increase of biogas production with low cost tubular digesters in cold climates using PET rings inside the reactor. Two similar digesters have been operated and monitored in cold weather conditions and have been fed with cow manure. Digester 1 was filled with PET - rings as a biofilm carrier, Digester 2 was kept as a reference. Through the PET - rings the functional surface could be increased by a factor 4.2. The results show that 44% more biogas per Kg SV has been produced with the biofilm carrier in use (0.33 m(3)/kg SV) (reference digester -0.23 m(3)/kg SV), at an organic load rate of 0.26 kg SV/m(3)/d. The thermal performance shows that with an adaptation of the low cost tubular digester the slurry temperature can be raised up to 16.6°C (average) by surrounding temperature of 6.1°C (average) without using any active heating system.

Abstract
We present measurements of ν(μ) charged-current cross section ratios on carbon, iron, and lead relative to a scintillator (CH) using the fine-grained MINERvA detector exposed to the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The measurements utilize events of energies 2<E(ν)<20 GeV, with ⟨E(ν)⟩ = 8 GeV, which have a reconstructed μ(-) scattering angle less than 17° to extract ratios of inclusive total cross sections as a function of neutrino energy E(ν) and flux-integrated differential cross sections with respect to the Bjorken scaling variable x. These results provide the first high-statistics direct measurements of nuclear effects in neutrino scattering using different targets in the same neutrino beam. Measured cross section ratios exhibit a relative depletion at low x and enhancement at large x. Both become more pronounced as the nucleon number of the target nucleus increases. The data are not reproduced by GENIE, a conventional neutrino-nucleus scattering simulation, or by the alternative models for the nuclear dependence of inelastic scattering that are considered.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) therapy is a clinical treatment utilizing electromagnetic energy aimed to relieve neuropathic pain. This is the first study examining the modulated expression of pain regulatory genes following the induction of the spared nerve injury (SNI) pain model and subsequently treated with PRF therapy. OBJECTIVES The present study investigated the behavioral efficacy of PRF therapy in rats exhibiting sciatic nerve injury and examined gene expression changes in the sciatic nerve, ipsilateral L5 dorsal root ganglia (DRG), and spinal cord. STUDY DESIGN A randomized, experimental trial. SETTING Department of Biological Sciences, Illinois State University and Department of Psychology, Illinois Wesleyan University. METHODS An SNI model was used in male Sprague-Dawley rats (weight 260-310 g). A sham surgery was also performed as a control group. After 3 days development of the SNI model, an RF electrode was applied to the sciatic nerve proximal to the site of injury and stimulated for 3 minutes. The response to mechanical stimuli was assessed throughout the duration of the study. Furthermore, changes in gene expression along the nociceptive tract (sciatic nerve, DRG, and spinal cord) were assessed 24 hours post-PRF therapy. RESULTS It was observed that the mechanical allodynia, induced by SNI model, was reversed to control values within 24 hours post-PRF therapy. Additionally, modulated expression of pain regulatory genes was observed after induction of the SNI model. Following PRF therapy, expression of many of these genes returned to control values (sham) in each of the tissues tested. Increased proinflammatory gene expression, such as TNF-α and IL-6, observed in the sciatic nerve (site of injury) in the SNI group was returned to baseline values following PRF therapy. Up-regulation of GABAB-R1, Na/K ATPase, and 5-HT3r as well as down regulation of TNF-α and IL-6 were also observed in the DRG in the SNI-PRF group relative to the SNI group. Up-regulation of Na/K ATPase and c-Fos was found in the spinal cord following PRF treatment relative to the SNI group. LIMITATIONS Immediate changes in gene expression were observed at 24 hours to better determine the mechanism with no long-term data at this time. Protein expression was not assessed in addition to gene expression changes. CONCLUSION These results indicate that the electromagnetic energy applied via PRF therapy influences the reversal of behavioral and molecular effects of hypersensitivity developed from a peripheral nerve injury.

Abstract
We report a study of ν(μ) charged-current quasielastic events in the segmented scintillator inner tracker of the MINERvA experiment running in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The events were selected by requiring a μ- and low calorimetric recoil energy separated from the interaction vertex. We measure the flux-averaged differential cross section, dσ/dQ², and study the low energy particle content of the final state. Deviations are found between the measured dσ/dQ² and the expectations of a model of independent nucleons in a relativistic Fermi gas. We also observe an excess of energy near the vertex consistent with multiple protons in the final state.

Abstract
We have isolated ν(μ) charged-current quasielastic (QE) interactions occurring in the segmented scintillator tracking region of the MINERvA detector running in the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. We measure the flux-averaged differential cross section, dσ/dQ², and compare to several theoretical models of QE scattering. Good agreement is obtained with a model where the nucleon axial mass, M(A), is set to 0.99 GeV/c² but the nucleon vector form factors are modified to account for the observed enhancement, relative to the free nucleon case, of the cross section for the exchange of transversely polarized photons in electron-nucleus scattering. Our data at higher Q² favor this interpretation over an alternative in which the axial mass is increased.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The aim of this arm of the ANESCAT 2003 study was to describe the temporal distribution and types of anesthesia used in Catalonia, Spain, in 2003, along with the associated human resources used. PATIENTS AND METHOD Data were used from a survey of 23,136 anesthetic procedures collected on 14 randomly selected days in 2003 and an individual questionnaire was completed by 765 anesthesiologists working in Catalonia. RESULTS Anesthesia practice was divided into that associated with surgery (78.4%), obstetrics (11.3%), and other nonsurgical procedures (10.4%). Of all anesthetic procedures performed, 84.3% took place in operating theaters and 7.0% in obstetric areas. Emergency procedures accounted for 20.3% of the total. Most procedures (71.2%) were undertaken within 08:00 and 16:00 h, and the lowest number of procedures performed on workdays took place on Fridays. The median duration of anesthesia was 60 minutes. The most common technique was regional anesthesia (41.4%), with spinal block being the most widely used. There were an estimated 12.5 anesthesiologists per 100,000 inhabitants, with a median (10th-90th percentile) age of 45 (34-57) years; women made up 47.2% of that group. The mean number of standard working hours was 46 hours per week and 65% of anesthesiologists also undertook on duty shifts. Anesthesiologists spent 77% of their time performing anesthesia and the remainder in postoperative recovery and critical care units and pain clinics. CONCLUSIONS Emergency anesthesia represents 20% of the total workload and obstetrics and nonsurgical procedures another 20%. The use of regional anesthesia was very widespread. The population density of anesthesiologists is comparable to that of other European countries, but with a higher proportion of women.

Abstract
Rickettsia conorii infection is endemic in the Mediterranean basin, where it is known as Mediterranean spotted fever, also known as Boutonneuse fever and Marseilles fever. We report the case of a 66-year-old diabetic man who presented a severe form of the disease, complicated by acute renal failure, thrombocytopenia and encephalitis. Diagnosis was confirmed by indirect immunofluorescence assay. Despite appropriate treatment, severe neurological sequelae have remained. Medical literature on encephalitis caused by R. conorii is also reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new method of monitoring neuromuscular blockade based on a modified blood pressure cuff that incorporates stimulating electrodes was compared with mechanomyography (MMG) ('gold standard'). METHODS Forty adults and 20 children (ASA I-II) underwent neuromuscular blockade monitoring on the contralateral arms and on the same arm using the new cuff method and MMG. Only train-of-four (TOF) ratios > 0.1 and T(1) heights > 0 were studied. Supramaximal stimulation was also assessed. A device based on a PC with an analogue-to-digital conversion card was used to control and synchronize MMG and the cuff method. The agreement between both methods was assessed using the statistical method of Bland and Altman. RESULTS When TOF ratios were >0.7, the bias between the two methods was -0.04 with the limits of agreement ranging from -0.21 to -0.12 (95% CI -0.06 to -0.02). The T(1) > 0 heights bias was -0.01 with the limits of agreement ranging from -0.26 to 0.24 (95% CI -0.02 to -0.003). The sensitivity of the cuff method was 88%, with a specificity of 85% and an accuracy of 86%. CONCLUSION This pilot study indicates that the cuff method could be useful to monitor neuromuscular blockade according to the bias and limits of agreement compared with MMG, particularly when the degree of blockade was evaluated by TOF ratios > 0.7. The new cuff method is easy and simple to use. However, further studies in a larger number of patients are necessary to confirm these favourable preliminary results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The prevalence of primary aldosteronism (PA) has experienced an important increase, and many authors consider this condition as the main cause of secondary hypertension (HT). PATIENTS AND METHOD Retrospective study of a series of 54 patients having PA who were studied in our Unit between 1999 and 2003. RESULTS The prevalence of PA was 5.1%. Out of 54 PA cases, 13 corresponded to aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA), 30 to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia (BAH), one was one case of nodular bilateral hyperplasia and another case was a nodular unilateral hyperplasia. In 9 cases, an etiologic diagnosis could not be done. APA were more frequent in women and BAH in men; with regard to sex, no significant differences were found. The blood pressure (BP) was significantly higher in patients with APA compared with BAH patients. In patients with APA, kalemia was significantly lower than in BAH patients. Adrenal CT scan identified 90% of APA, while scintigraphy detected 100% of BAH. Spironolactone therapy significantly decreased the BP in APA and BAH patients, although this fall was higher in patients with APA. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of PA was 5.1%. Although the tests used for the screening and diagnosis of PA are controversial, a PA ought to be investigated in all patients with refractory HT, independently of the existence of hypokalemia. Spironolactone is an effective therapy for BAH and it is an adequate option for APA treatment when an adrenalectomy is not viable.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To assess the long-term effectiveness, safety and response-related factors in a cohort of HIV-infected persons receiving antiretroviral therapy containing nelfinavir. Design and setting. Prospective, non-randomized multicenter study. METHOD A total of 792 patients were included: 254 (32.1%) treatment-naive patients and 538 (67.9%) patients previously treated with protease inhibitors who were switched to a nelfinavir-containing regimen due to virological failure or intolerance. Factors related to virological response and to treatment failure were assessed by standard survival techniques and Cox proportional risk models. RESULTS Nelfinavir was well tolerated; treatment had to be interrupted in only 57 patients (7.1%) because of toxicity. During a median follow-up of 12 months, 31 patients (3.9%) experienced a new AIDS-defining event or death, and 463 (58.4%) showed immunological response. Overall, 52% patients achieved plasma HIV-1 RNA levels below 500 copies/mL (57% of naive and 49% of previously treated patients), but a high rate of virological rebound (24% and 49%, respectively) was observed. Low baseline viral load and few prior treatments were factors related to virological response. Naive treatment status and a high increase in CD4 cell count were predictive of longer viral response. CONCLUSIONS Highly active antiretroviral therapy with a nelfinavir-containing regimen was associated with favorable virological response in nearly half of previously treated patients, and most experienced clinical and immunological benefits. Nevertheless, the limited duration of virological response indicates the need for new alternative drugs.

Abstract
The clinical and microbiologic characteristics of 31 patients with mucosal leishmaniasis due to Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum are described. Twenty-eight (90%) patients were male. Mean age at presentation was 48 +/- 14 years. Thirteen (42%) patients had no underlying disease, while 18 (58%) patients had several other medical conditions. Fifteen (48%) patients were immunocompromised, 7 patients were infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and 3 were graft recipients. The primary location of lesions was the larynx in 11 (35%) patients, oral mucosa in 10 (32%) patients, and the nose in 5 (16%) patients. Mucosal lesions were painless in all patients but 2 and consisted of whitish, red, or violaceous nodular swelling or tumorlike masses. Ulceration was reported in 6 patients. Pathologically, the lesions showed a chronic inflammatory infiltrate. Granuloma may be seen. The localization of the lesions determined the symptomatology of the disease. Symptoms included hoarseness, difficulty swallowing, and nasal obstruction. The disease presentation was usually protracted, with a mean time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis of 13 months (range, 3 wk-4.5 yr), and the clinical diagnosis was usually mistaken for neoplasia of the upper aerodigestive tract. No laboratory abnormalities were found in these patients due to the localized disease, apart from those attributed to underlying diseases. Parasites were easily identified in smears or sections by Giemsa stain or hematoxylin-eosin stain. Leishmania was grown in culture in 12 (60%) patients; culture was negative in 8 (40%) patients. Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum was identified in only 9 instances. The following zymodemes were reported: MON-1 (2 patients), MON-24 (2 patients), MON-27 (1 patient), and MON-34 (1 patient). Serologic test results were known in 25 patients. Serology was usually positive at low titer; 6 (24%) patients had negative serologic test results. Twenty patients were treated with antimonial compounds for between 3 and 36 days. Three patients were given drugs other than antimonial drugs. Five patients were treated only locally, by surgery (3 patients) or topical medical therapy. One patient received no therapy, and treatment was not reported in 2 cases. Patients were cured in 25 (89%) cases, and sequelae were uncommon (14%). Relapse was detected in 2 individuals and 1 patient developed visceral leishmaniasis after treatment. Two HIV-coinfected patients died of causes unrelated to leishmaniasis. The results of the present report stress the clinical importance of searching for the presence of Leishmania in patients with suspected neoplasia of the upper respiratory tract if they have visited or resided in zones endemic for Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum. The treatment of choice for these patients is not established yet, but most patients respond to antimonial compounds given for 28 days or less.

Abstract
We report the case of a 52-year-old woman who underwent scheduled laparoscopic resection of a hydatid liver cyst under general anesthesia by infusion of remifentanil and sevoflurane. Surgery was uneventful, although invasive monitoring was required, just as it would have been in major open abdominal surgery, given the risk of bleeding secondary to organ manipulation, the risk of anaphylactic shock related to the etiology of the cyst and the possibility of gas embolism related to laparoscopy. The concept of "minimally invasive" surgery has developed thanks to continued progress in laparoscopy. The considerable advantages of such procedures in comparison with "open" or "conventional" surgery has led to their use with organs such as the liver, which in principle require caution. In such cases, the anesthesiologist must take an approach that is not as simple or minimalist as the term "minimally invasive" might lead us to expect.

Abstract
Pain has become the most common accompanying symptom in patients seeking medical advice, and it is one of the main issues in public health. In Spain, there are no reliable data about the impact of pain in general population. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of acute and chronic pain in the Spanish general population. An epidemiological observational population-based cross-sectional study was carried out by means of a telephone survey. Multistep stratified quota-adjusted sampling was performed with people aged 18-95 years. A computer-assisted questionnaire was administered, covering physical pain symptoms, site, frequency, perceived cause, therapeutic measures and interference with daily life activities. There were 11,980 useful contacts, with 5000 effective interviews (42% of useful sample). Of the interviewees, 29.6% (95% confidence interval, 28.3-30.8%) reported having had pain the day before (women, 37.6%; men, 20.9%) and 43.2% the week before. Most common pain sites were lower extremities (22.7%) and back (cervical and lumbar levels) (21.5%), followed by head (20.5%). Frequency of pain increased with age, reaching 42.6% for people older than 65 years. Among people complaining of pain during the last day or week, duration of symptoms was higher than 3 months in 54% (chronic pain), representing 23.4% of the Spanish general population; most common causes of chronic pain were arthritis, rheumatism and migraine. Regarding treatment, 61.7% of people complaining of pain said they were taking drugs. Source of drug treatment advice was a physician or a nurse in 66.4% of cases and self-prescription in 29%. It is concluded that pain, particularly chronic pain, has a high prevalence in the Spanish general population and a significant impact on occupational and social relationships.
