A multisensor approach coupled with multivariate statistics and geostatistics for assessing the status of land degradation: The case of soils contaminated in a former outdoor shooting range. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 933:172398. [PMID: 38677437 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.172398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
Soil contamination in outdoor shooting ranges (OSRs) is a major threat for human health, particularly when, after the end of activities, the land is used for recreational areas or agricultural production. The status of land degradation of an OSR in southern Italy was assessed using a multisensor approach. It was based on: i) proximal sensors, including electromagnetic induction (EMI) for measuring soil electrical conductivity (ECa) and magnetic susceptibility (MSa), γ-ray spectrometry for K, eU and eTh analyses and ultrasonic penetrometry detecting cone index (CI) data representative of soil's strength, ii) field surveys on soil thickness (ST), and iii) laboratory analyses of potentially-toxic-elements (PTEs) by portable X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by gas-chromatography. Spatial variability of measurements was modelled and mapped using geostatistical methods. The most densely measured covariate (i.e., the ECa of the topsoil) was used within kriging with external drift to improve the PTEs predictions. The PTEs maps were complemented by maps of spatial uncertainty. A robust multivariate principal component analysis (rPCA) was applied to proximal sensor and laboratory data and allowed to identify associations of PAHs, lead, CI with the topsoil ECa along the first component (PC1), highlighting the correlation between land anthropogenic effects and EMI measures; while the association between the ST (estimating the depth of underground travertine hard-layers) and the bottom soil ECa and MSa along the second component (PC2) evidenced the influence of soil stratigraphy on the EMI measures. This study demonstrates that the simultaneous use of different proximal sensors associated with laboratory analysis can allow to assess and model the spatial variability of the land degradation status of an OSR, including soil compaction, organic and inorganic contamination. The correlation between EMI data with the PTEs content highlights the potential of this technique in the field of soil contamination.

Background/Introduction
Before bipolar epicardial leads became widely available and used by heart surgeons, unipolar epicardial leads were frequently implanted in small children requiring permanent pacing. Main complications are lead fractures causing pacing/sensing defect. Therefore, patients should undergo new epicardial or endocardial lead implantation with relevant procedural risks, especially in complex congenital heart disease (CHD). Proximal fractures, close to the generator, may be repaired using a dedicated Unipolar Lead Adapter and Extension, with reduced operative risks. Purpose of the study is the retrospective analysis of the outcome of the repair of unipolar epicardial leads in young patients (pts) in a single tertiary paediatric center.
Methods
Consecutive patients with proximal fracture underwent a trial of lead repair using the lead adapter/extension, during general anaesthesia, cefuroxime antibiotic profilaxis, from 2004 to 2020. Lead data (threshold, sensing, impedance) were compared before and after the repair procedure.
Results
18 patients with CHD (12pts, 10 of whom complex, 6 post-Fontan) or normal structural heart (6pts), who underwent pacemaker implantation at 2.5 (0.7-5.8)years of age for congenital/postoperative atrioventricular block (11pts) and sinus node dysfunction (7pts), showed lead (7 atrial, 11 ventricular) fractures after chronic pacing. At 13 (8-17)years of age, all leads were successfully repaired without any complications. Follow-up was 4 (2-6)years. Four pts (22%) showed again fractures of the repaired lead, after 1 month, 1and 3 years (2pts). Electrical lead parameters are shown in table 1: there were not significant differences between consecutive time of controls, also in the atrial and ventricular lead subgroups.
Table 1.-------------------Pre-repair;--intraprocedural;---1 month;----------1 year;-------------4 years.
Threshold (V/0.4 ms):--1.1 (0.7-1.4);--1.0 (0.8-1.6);-------1.2 (0.9-1.5);-----1.2 (0.9-2.1);-------1.5 (1.1-1.8).
Sensing (mV):--------- 7 (2.4-12);------5.4 (1.3-15);-------4 (1.5-11);----------5 (1.6-12);---------3 (2-10).
Impedance (ohm): 343 (289-407);---350 (246-415);--346 (250-432);--374 (250-589);--362 (220-470).
Conclusion
The repair of fractured unipolar epicardial leads in young patients is a safe and effective procedure, with few complications during follow-up. Effective repair can delay more aggressive procedures.

Abstract
The percentage of female doctors employed in the health sector is constantly increasing both in Europe and in Italy with repercussions on organizational and socio-family models, currently not conceived in terms of equal opportunities, career and quality of life. The published studies have mainly taken into consideration economic and career disparities, (1) however, to date no study combined with surveys has highlighted criteria for evaluating the quality of work through the direct and sincere experience of workers. This reflection gave rise to the idea of a survey organized by the ANAAO Medical Women Group with the patronage of the Tuscan Medical Orders Federation organized on a homogeneous sample, i.e. female doctors from a single Region, Tuscany, in order to evaluate and new approaches in the management of human resources that take into account the delicate balance between the real possibilities available to the doctor and the complexities of experiential work that arise over the course of a lifetime. Empirical evidence deriving from specific investigations conducted at trade union and ordinistic level still document the existence of a gender gap between male and female doctors with respect to the reference parameters of quality work, such as the economic and ergonomic dimension, in relation to the physical and psychological aspects of people.

Abstract
In the last twenty years there has been an increase in the proportion of women practicing the medical profession which has occurred in parallel with the increase in participation of women in the scientific professions. Italy has a stable percentage of women at 40% in 2016 compared to 60% in the Baltic countries, Romania and Croatia (1). This increase in the total number obtained did not automatically guarantee women doctors the right to access the roles of leaders and fair economic consideration in all the European countries analyzed. All this affects the quality of life of women and the authority of the knowledge expressed by them, with consequent implications on the economic and social context.

In vivo imaging of CNS microglial activation/macrophage infiltration with combined [ 18F]DPA-714-PET and SPIO-MRI in a mouse model of relapsing remitting experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2020; 48:40-52.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the feasibility and sensitivity of multimodality PET/CT and MRI imaging for non-invasive characterization of brain microglial/macrophage activation occurring during the acute phase in a mouse model of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RR-MS) using [18F]DPA-714, a selective radioligand for the 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO), superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIO), and ex vivo immunohistochemistry. Methods Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) was induced in female SJL/J mice by immunization with PLP139–151. Seven symptomatic EAE mice and five controls underwent both PET/CT and MRI studies between 11 and 14 days post-immunization. SPIO was injected i.v. in the same animals immediately after [18F]DPA-714 and MRI acquisition was performed after 24 h. Regional brain volumes were defined according to a mouse brain atlas on co-registered PET and SPIO-MRI images. [18F]DPA-714 standardized uptake value (SUV) ratios (SUVR), with unaffected neocortex as reference, and SPIO fractional volumes (SPIO-Vol) were generated. Both SUVR and SPIO-Vol values were correlated with the clinical score (CS) and among them. Five EAE and four control mice underwent immunohistochemical analysis with the aim of identifying activated microglia/macrophage and TSPO expressions. Results SUVR and SPIO-Vol values were significantly increased in EAE compared with controls in the hippocampus (p < 0.01; p < 0.02, respectively), thalamus (p < 0.02; p < 0.05, respectively), and cerebellum and brainstem (p < 0.02), while only SPIO-Vol was significantly increased in the caudate/putamen (p < 0.05). Both SUVR and SPIO-Vol values were positively significantly correlated with CS and among them in the same regions. TSPO/Iba1 and F4/80/Prussian blue staining immunohistochemistry suggests that increased activated microglia/macrophages underlay TSPO expression and SPIO uptake in symptomatic EAE mice. Conclusions These preliminary results suggest that both activated microglia and infiltrated macrophages are present in vulnerable brain regions during the acute phase of PLP-EAE and contribute to disease severity. Both [18F]DPA-714-PET and SPIO-MRI appear suitable modalities for preclinical study of neuroinflammation in MS mice models.

Abstract
Aim
Use of the subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) to prevent sudden cardiac death is increasing. Few data exist on S-ICD in young patients. We report preliminary data from a multicenter European registry of paediatric and young adult patients who underwent S-ICD implantation
Methods
Observational, prospective, non-randomized, standard-of-care study on S-ICD implantation/follow-up in young patients with inherited arrhythmias (IA), cardiomyopathies, and congenital heart defects (CHD).
Results
29 patients (12 CHD, 14 Cardiomyopathies, and 3 IA), mean age 17±6 years, 13 of them <18 years, with body mass index (BMI) 23±4, underwent S-ICD implantation (primary prevention 66%). The first 8 patients underwent a three-incision procedure, the following 21 (72%) a two-incision procedure. No intraoperative complications occurred. Over 19 months median follow-up (25th–75th percentiles, 5–37) 5 patients (17%) received appropriate and 2 (7%) inappropriate shocks. Four patients (14%) had device-related complications requiring surgical intervention: three skin erosions at the superior parasternal incision, one pocket infection. A higher risk of complications was seen in patients who underwent standard procedures [hazard ratio (HR) 14.7, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.34 to 93.03; P=0.001] and those with BMI <20 (HR 11.06, 95% CI 1.01–121.07; P=0.008).
Conclusion
These preliminary results of a multicenter European paediatric registry suggest that S-ICD is safe and effective with low rates of inappropriate shocks. Improvement of implantation techniques seems associated with better outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spatial neglect (SN) constitutes a substantial barrier to functional recovery after acquired brain injury. However, because of its multimodal nature, no single test can capture all the signs of SN. To provide a clinically feasible solution, we used conventional neuropsychological tests as well as the Catherine Bergego Scale (CBS) via the Kessler Foundation Neglect Assessment Process (KF-NAP). The goal was to add evidence that a global approach should detect better even subtle signs of SN. METHOD Fourteen individuals with lesions located in the right cerebral hemisphere participated in the study. Participants were assessed with a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests, comprising a set of visuospatial tests to evaluate several spatial domains. In addition, patients underwent functional assessment with the Barthel Index, the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and the CBS via KF-NAP. RESULTS The CBS via KF-NAP was associated with the visuospatial paper-based tests (p = .004) as well as the Motor FIM (p = .003), and was more sensitive than the Behavioral Inattention Test-Conventional in detecting SN (p = .014). CONCLUSIONS We showed that the CBS via KF-NAP was able: (a) to detect functional impairment, especially motor, related to SN; (b) to selectively measures spatial rather than nonspatial dysfunctions; and (c) to be highly sensitive in detecting SN signs especially in those patients with mild severity, covering several aspects of SN manifestations. The patient's SN diagnosis based on the CBS via KF-NAP is clinically important and directly relevant to care planning and goal setting. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved).

Abstract
The development of fetal cardiac surgery, considered the ultimate goal in the treatment of congenital cardiac malformations, needs to be supported by detailed knowledge of the blood circulation in the fetal cardiovascular system. The hemodynamic behavior in distal territories is usually inferred from vessel resistance indices, which give limited physiological information. This study presents a mathematical model of the human fetal global cardiovascular system, developed to clarify the relationships and differences existing between upper and lower body circulation. We modelled the heart with two time-varying capacitances, each representing the respective ventricle's pressure-volume relationship. The fetal vascular system was represented using two six-element Windkessel models, for the upper and lower body respectively. We obtained the identification of the set of circuital and elastance function parameters of the model using Genetic Algorithms (GAs), which follow the laws of evolutionary theory. We compared the results of our numerical study on the model identified with data collected from measurements and literature, to validate the proposed global cardiovascular system model of the human fetus. This model is intended as an instrument to investigate the differences in blood distribution between the different vascular districts in the upper and lower fetal body and the role of the aortic isthmus, the small tract of vessel connecting upper and lower fetal vascular beds; it may also represent a useful tool in the assessment of dynamic balance during mechanical assistance of circulation.

Abstract
AIMS With the aim to identify the instruments validated for Italian nursing practice, a systematic review of the literature was undertaken. RESULTS A total of 101 instruments emerged. The majority (89; 88.1%) were developed in other countries; the remaining (14; 13.9%) were developed and validated in the Italian context. The instruments were developed to measure patient's problems (63/101; 62.4%), outcomes (27/101; 26.7%), risks (4/101; 4%) and others issues (7/101; 6.9%). The majority of participants involved in the validation processes were younger adults (49; 48.5%), older adults (40; 39.5%), children (4; 4%), adolescents (3; 3%), and children/adolescents (1; 1%). The instruments were structured primarily in the form of questionnaires (61; 60.4%), as a grid for direct observation (27; 26.7%) or in other forms (12; 11.9%). Among the 101 instruments emerged, there were 1 to 7 validation measures documented with on average 3.2 (95% CI 2.86-3.54) for each instrument. CONCLUSIONS Developing validation studies giving priority to those instruments widely adopted in the clinical nursing practice is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dysphagia remains a side effect influencing the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer (HNC) after radiotherapy. We evaluated the relationship between planned dose involvement and acute and late dysphagia in patients with HNC treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), after a recontouring of constrictor muscles (PCs) and the cricopharyngeal muscle (CM). METHODS Between December 2011 and December 2013, 56 patients with histologically proven HNC were treated with IMRT or volumetric-modulated arc therapy. The PCs and CM were recontoured. Correlations between acute and late toxicity and dosimetric parameters were evaluated. End points were analysed using univariate logistic regression. RESULTS An increasing risk to develop acute dysphagia was observed when constraints to the middle PCs were not respected [mean dose (Dmean) ≥50 Gy, maximum dose (Dmax) >60 Gy, V50 >70% with a p = 0.05]. The superior PC was not correlated with acute toxicity but only with late dysphagia. The inferior PC was not correlated with dysphagia; for the CM only, Dmax >60 Gy was correlated with acute dysphagia ≥ grade 2. CONCLUSION According to our analysis, the superior PC has a major role, being correlated with dysphagia at 3 and 6 months after treatments; the middle PC maintains this correlation only at 3 months from the beginning of radiotherapy, but it does not have influence on late dysphagia. The inferior PC and CM have a minimum impact on swallowing symptoms. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE We used recent guidelines to define dose constraints of the PCs and CM. Two results emerge in the present analysis: the superior PC influences late dysphagia, while the middle PC influences acute dysphagia.

Abstract
Salinomys delicatus is considered a rare species due to its restricted and patchy distribution, poor records and low abundances. It is also the phyllotine with the lowest known diploid chromosome number (2n = 18), however its sex chromosome system has never been described. Here, we studied the chromosomes of six females and three males with bands G, C, DAPI/CMA(3) and meiosis. In males, the chromosome number was 2n = 19, with one large metacentric X-chromosome and two medium-sized acrocentrics absent in females. The karyotype of females was the same as previously described (2n = 18, FN = 32), with X-chromosomes being metacentric and the largest elements of the complement. In males, the two acrocentrics and the large metacentric form a trivalent in meiotic prophase. This indicates that S. delicatus has XY(1)Y(2) sex chromosomes, which is confirmed by G and DAPI bands. Constitutive heterochromatin (CH) is restricted to small pericentromeric blocks in all chromosomes. The X-chromosome shows the largest block of centromeric CH, which could favor the establishment of this X-autosome translocation. This sex chromosome system is rare in mammals and, compared with other phyllotine rodents, S. delicatus seems to have undergone a major chromosome restructuring during its karyotypic evolution.

Abstract
The development of fetal cardiac surgery, considered the ultimate goal in the treatment of congenital cardiac malformations, needs to be supported by detailed knowledge of the blood circulation in the fetal cardiovascular system. The hemodynamic behavior in distal territories is usually inferred from vessel resistance indices, which give limited physiological information. This study presents a mathematical model of the human fetal global cardiovascular system, developed to clarify the relationships and differences existing between upper and lower body circulation. We modelled the heart with two time-varying capacitances, each representing the respective ventricle's pressure-volume relationship. The fetal vascular system was represented using two six-element Windkessel models, for the upper and lower body respectively. We obtained the identification of the set of circuital and elastance function parameters of the model using Genetic Algorithms (GAs), which follow the laws of evolutionary theory. We compared the results of our numerical study on the model identified with data collected from measurements and literature, to validate the proposed global cardiovascular system model of the human fetus. This model is intended as an instrument to investigate the differences in blood distribution between the different vascular districts in the upper and lower fetal body and the role of the aortic isthmus, the small tract of vessel connecting upper and lower fetal vascular beds; it may also represent a useful tool in the assessment of dynamic balance during mechanical assistance of circulation.

Abstract
We report on a girl with familial neurofibromatosis type 1 (Nf1) who at age 11 had multiple osteolytic lesions of the right mandible and the distal femoral and proximal tibial metaphyses bilaterally. No other skeletal component was affected, and no abnormalities were present on skeletal radiographs of her parents. Histologic examination of the mandibular and right femoral lesions revealed a "multinucleated giant cell process." Results of repeated routine laboratory and bone metabolic studies were within normal limits. The lack of reliable histologic criteria and the diagnostic problems in distinguishing among central giant cell granulomata, giant cell tumors of the jaw, cherubism, brown tumors resulting from (occult) hyperparathyroidism, Jaffe-Campanacci syndrome, McCune-Albright syndrome, Noonan-like/multiple giant cell lesion syndrome, and multiple nonossifying fibromas of bone are discussed.

Abstract
Primary benign tumors of the heart are particularly rare; cardiac hemangioma is one of the most rare primary benign cardiac tumors. Natural history, symptoms and prognosis of the disease depend on the potential complications due to the location and diffusion of the mass. We report on 2 cases of cardiac hemangioma, diagnosed occasionally in the first patient or due to gastroenteric symptoms in the second patient. The diagnosis was obtained by 2-D-echo and magnetic resonance imaging. In both cases the hemangioma was located on the right ventricle. Both patients underwent tumor resection in hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. In one case, a graft to the right coronary artery was associated; in the other case, the right ventricular outflow tract was reconstructed with an infundibular patch. Histology showed mixed hemangioma in one case and cavernous hemangioma in the other. The postoperative course was uneventful. At a follow-up of 8 years and 1 year, respectively, both patients are classified as NYHA 1 and both 2-D-echo and magnetic resonance imaging did not show any residual tumoral mass. This experience demonstrates that, depending on their location, benign neoplastic masses may be radically resected with acceptable operatory risks and excellent long-term results.

Abstract
Brucella infective endocarditis is an uncommon, but serious complication of brucellosis. The aortic valve is the most commonly affected cardiac valve, and a fearful complication is the formation of aortic root abscess. Due to the characteristics of the infection, medical therapy alone is not sufficient in treating the disease and best results are achieved in combination with surgery. We describe 2 cases of brucella endocarditis involving the aortic valve. Aggressive treatment, with surgery performed during a period of active infection, produced good results in eradication of infection and in preventing fatal complications such as rupture of aortic root abscesses.

Abstract
Fibrinolytic therapy is a major advance in the treatment of coronary artery disease. A marked elevation in plasma and urinary metabolites of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) after administration of thrombolytic therapy has been observed and has been related to a direct effect of thrombolytic drugs on platelets. To test this hypothesis we evaluated the 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 (11-d-TXB2) level, as an index of platelet activation, in 20 healthy subjects and in 30 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Patients with infarction received streptokinase (n = 8), recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) (n = 8), or thrombolytic therapy preceded by acetylsalicylic acid (n = 7) or were treated without thrombolytic therapy (n = 7). The urinary 11-d-TXB2 level in healthy control subjects was 327 +/- 126 pg/mg creatinine. A significant increase was observed in patients with AMI with no difference between those who received no thrombolytic therapy (673 +/- 283 pg/mg creatinine in the first 12 hours) and those who received streptokinase (833 +/- 613 pg/mg creatinine) or rt-PA (836 +/- 653 pg/mg creatinine). Patients pretreated with acetylsalicylic acid had urinary 11-d-TXB2 values ranging between 361 and 155 pg/mg creatinine. A significant difference in 11-d-TXB2 values was observed only when patients who were reperfused were separated from those who remained occluded according to angiographic criteria (1085 +/- 498 vs 391 +/- 227 pg/mg creatinine in the first 12 hours, p less than 0.001). We conclude that reperfusion and not thrombolytic agents per se appears to be the factor that induces platelet activation and consequently facilitates reocclusion.
