Abstract
Sea spray has been suggested to enable the transfer of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) from the ocean to the atmosphere, but only a few studies support the role of sea spray aerosols (SSAs) as a source of airborne particles. We demonstrated that MNPs are aerosolized during wave action, via SSAs, under controlled laboratory conditions. We used a mini-Marine-Aerosol-Reference-Tank (miniMART), a device that mimics naturally occurring physical mechanisms producing SSAs, and assessed the aerosolization of fluorescent polystyrene beads (0.5-10 μm), in artificial seawater. The SSAs contained up to 18,809 particles/mL of aerosols for 0.5 μm beads, with an enrichment factor of 19-fold, and 1977 particles/mL of aerosols for 10 μm beads with a 2-fold enrichment factor. Our study demonstrates that the use of the miniMART is essential to assess MNPs aerosolization in a standardized way, supporting the hypothesis which states that MNPs in the surface of the ocean may be transferred to the atmosphere.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Severe short stature is a feature of acrodysostosis, but data on growth are sparse. Treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) is used in some centers to increase final height, but no studies have been published so far. Our objective was to conduct a multicenter, retrospective, cohort study to investigate growth in individuals with both types of acrodysostosis, treated with rhGH or not; we used the new nomenclature to describe acrodysostosis, as this disease belongs to the large group of inactivating PTH/PTHrP signaling disorders (iPPSD); acrodysostosis refers to iPPSD4 (acrodysostosis type 1 due to PRKAR1A mutations) and iPPSD5 (acrodysostosis type 2, due to PDE4D mutations). METHODS We present auxological data from individuals with genetically characterized iPPSD4, and participants with clinical features of iPPSD5. RESULTS We included 20 and 17 individuals with iPPSD4 and iPPSD5, respectively. The rhGH-treated iPPSD4 patients (n = 9) were smaller at birth than those who did not receive rhGH (median - 2.2 SDS vs. - 1.7 SDS); they showed a trend to catch-up growth during rhGH therapy (median 0.5 SDS in the first year). The rhGH-treated patients (n = 5) reached a better final height compared to those who did not receive rhGH (n = 4) (median - 2.8 SDS vs. - 3.9 SDS), suggesting that rhGH is efficient to increase height in those patients. The difference in target height to final height ranged between 1.6 and 3.0 SDS for iPPSD4 not treated with rhGH (n = 4), 2.1-2.8 SDS for rhGH-treated iPPSD4 (n = 5), 0.6-5.5 SDS for iPPSD5 not treated with rhGH (n = 5) and 2.5-3.1 for rhGH-treated iPPSD5 (n = 2). CONCLUSION Final height may be positively influenced by rhGH in patients with acrodysostosis/iPPSD. Our rhGH-treated cohort started therapy relatively late, which might explain, at least in part, the limited effect of rhGH on height.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this report is to describe clinical pattern, EEG, outcome and differential diagnosis in severe myoclonic epilepsy in infancy (SMEI). MATERIAL AND METHODS We report 13 cases initially diagnosed of SMEI and selected according to the following criteria: first seizure between 1 and 12 months of life, frequent seizures resistant to antiepileptic drugs, no previous personal history of disease, normal psychomotor development before the first seizure and normal EEG, CT scanning and laboratory analyses at the beginning. CT and/or MRI were performed in 13 cases, arteriography in 2 patients, MR spectroscopic imaging in 1 child and SPECT in 3 cases. Quantification of enzymatic activities of the mitochondrial respiratory chain was made in 5 patients. RESULTS Only 8 cases were finally diagnosed of SMEI according to ILAE definition. In two cases, seizures were finally controlled with antiepileptic treatment and EEG abnormalities disappeared. Three patients showed other findings: mesiotemporal sclerosis, angiitis diffusely involving CNS and mitochondrial cytopathy with deficiency of the complex IV. CONCLUSIONS Although diagnosis of SMEI, based on clinical manifestations, is suspected in most cases from the first year of life, final diagnosis should not be confirmed until steady state, when polymorphous seizures occur. Even then, differential diagnosis should be made with other disorders. Perhaps, further studies should be performed in order to identify and eliminate another etiology.
