Abstract
AIM Pancreatic fistula (PF) represents the main complication (10%-29%) after pancreatic surgery. Soft pancreatic texture with a not dilated pancreatic duct represent the major risk factors for PF. Mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is reported in several large series to be <5%. PF and local sepsis are the main causes of delayed arterial hemorrage with a high mortality rate (14-38%). Therefore, any effort should be implemented in order to reduce the incidence of PF. METHODS In the present study we have extended the use of the biological adhesive Bioglue® to coat pancreatic resection surface after distal pancreasectomy (DP, N.=5) and pancreatico-jejunostomy (PJ) after PD (N.=18) in a RESULTS Operative mortality was observed in 2 instances: one case after PJ leakage (1/18, 5.5%) and one case after DP not related to PF (1/5, 20%). PF has been documented in 7/23 (30,4%) after pancreatic resection, and in all cases after PD. In 3 cases PF has been successfully treated conservatively by NPO and octreotide. 2 patients required radiological percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage and 2 patients required surgical drainage of multiple intrabdominal collections and radiological PTBD. CONCLUSION On the basis of these observations Bioglue® can be safely utilized to coat pancreatic surface after DP and pancreatico-jejunostomy after PD. This experience warrants further larger controlled studies of the potential value of Bioglue® in reducing the incidence of PF after major pancreatic surgery.

Abstract
We measured separate cosmic-ray electron and positron spectra with the Fermi Large Area Telescope. Because the instrument does not have an onboard magnet, we distinguish the two species by exploiting Earth's shadow, which is offset in opposite directions for opposite charges due to Earth's magnetic field. We estimate and subtract the cosmic-ray proton background using two different methods that produce consistent results. We report the electron-only spectrum, the positron-only spectrum, and the positron fraction between 20 and 200 GeV. We confirm that the fraction rises with energy in the 20-100 GeV range. The three new spectral points between 100 and 200 GeV are consistent with a fraction that is continuing to rise with energy.

Abstract
Validity and reproducibility of anaerobic threshold (VLA4) is still matter for debate. Factors influencing blood lactate concentration, including blood collection procedure, are critical. This study aimed to evaluate influence of blood sampling times on VLA4 computing in two different horse breeds. Five Standardbreds and six Haflingers were included in this study. All the horses performed a standardised exercise test on treadmill (SET). An automatic collection device was employed to obtain blood samples every 60 seconds, in order to standardise sampling time. VLA4 was computed using the lactate data at the end of each step of the SET, and the corresponding velocity (VLA40min). The detection was then repeated for the concentrations at 1 (VLA41min), 2 (VLA42min) and 3 min (VLA43min) after the end of the 3rd step maintaining constant plasma lactate concentration of the first and the second step. VLA4 resulted increased with the VLA40min, while with the VLA41min, VLA42minand VLA43minthe value of the VLA4 decreased progressively. Difference, expressed as a percentage, between VLA40minand VLA43minmean values was 16.8 and 16.6%, for Standardbred and Haflinger horses, respectively. Hence, blood samples drawn within a time frame of 3 min after the end of the SET seem to induce changes when computing of VLA4. The results suggest to carefully pay attention in standardise sampling time, collecting blood in a time frame of two minutes, one minute after the end of exercise.

Abstract
Satellite galaxies of the Milky Way are among the most promising targets for dark matter searches in gamma rays. We present a search for dark matter consisting of weakly interacting massive particles, applying a joint likelihood analysis to 10 satellite galaxies with 24 months of data of the Fermi Large Area Telescope. No dark matter signal is detected. Including the uncertainty in the dark matter distribution, robust upper limits are placed on dark matter annihilation cross sections. The 95% confidence level upper limits range from about 10(-26) cm3 s(-1) at 5 GeV to about 5×10(-23) cm3 s(-1) at 1 TeV, depending on the dark matter annihilation final state. For the first time, using gamma rays, we are able to rule out models with the most generic cross section (∼3×10(-26) cm3 s(-1) for a purely s-wave cross section), without assuming additional boost factors.

Abstract
Skull base surgeons are frequently required to operate in close proximity to the facial nerve. At times, a skull base tumor is resected with the facial nerve grossly infact, only to have the patient awaken with a unilateral facial paresis or paralysis. In the selected cases where the surgeon is certain that the facial nerve has been left intact and return of function is expected, methods are needed to ameliorate the temporary paresis or paralysis of the eyelids. In our institution, eyelid closure has been achieved by placement of a gold weight in the upper eyelid. These weights were placed with the knowledge that they could be removed once facial nerve function returned. We report on 11 such patients who had gold weights placed within 3 weeks of their original intracranial or skull base procedure. All patients were discharged with adequate eyelid closure. Three patients later required lower lid surgery for poor tone or persistence of paralysis. Our experience is reviewed and our recommendations concerning the management of temporary facial paralysis of the eyelids is presented.

Abstract
Although domino liver transplantation (LT) is an established procedure, data about the operative risks are limited. This study aimed at evaluating the operative risks of domino LT. Two retrospective analyses were conducted (comparison of familial amyloid polyneuropathy [FAP] liver donors [61 patients] vs. FAP nondonors [39 patients] and FAP liver recipients [61 patients] vs. deceased donor liver recipients [61 patients]). First analysis showed a 60-day mortality of 6.6% for FAP donors and 7.7% for FAP nondonors (p = 1.0). No patient developed primary graft nonfunction. Acute rejection was higher in FAP nondonors compared to FAP donors (38.5% vs. 13.1%). Both groups had similar vascular and biliary complication rates. ICU stay was similar, whereas total hospitalization was longer for FAP nondonors. Both groups had similar 1- and 5-year patient and graft survival rates (83.4% vs. 87.2%, and 79.8% vs. 71.8%, p = 0.7) and (83.3% vs. 87.2%, and 79.1% vs.71.8%, p = 0.7). The second analysis showed a 1.6% mortality for FAP liver recipients vs. 3.2% of the control group (p = 1). Both groups had similar morbidity and technical complication rates (18.0% vs. 13.1%, p = 0.45) and (0.18 vs. 0.15, p = 0.65). The domino procedure does not add any risk to FAP donor or recipient. It increases the organ pool allowing transplantation of marginal recipients who otherwise are denied deceased donor liver transplantation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of levosimendan, a novel calcium sensitizer agent, on postoperative hemodynamic and metabolic parameters of neonates affected by single ventricle anatomy. Twenty consecutive neonates scheduled for the Norwood procedure with Blalock Taussig shunt were prospectively enrolled. All patients received an infusion of levosimendan at 0.1 μg/kg/min commencing 24 hours before surgery, and the infusion was continued for 48 hours after surgery. No side effects (intolerance to the drug, hypotension, arrhythmias) were shown. A median inotropic score (IS) of 37 was necessary to maintain a mean arterial pressure between 45 and 50 mm Hg at intensive care unit (ICU) admission: IS was significantly reduced after 72 hours ( P < .05). Brain natriuretic peptide values decreased significantly from 1210 to 459 pg/mL in 72 hours ( P < .05). Median SvO2 increased significantly from 38% to 59% during the evaluated period ( P < .05). Cerebral near-infrared spectroscopy values were close to 40% at ICU admission with a significant stable increase to 50% after 12 hours ( P < .05). Median lactate level was 13 mmol/L at ICU admission but showed a trend to a rapid and significant decrease after 12 hours ( P < .05). Median urine output was surprisingly elevated, always remaining between 5.2 and 6.2 mL/kg/h throughout the postoperative period. Survival rate was 85% at 30 days (17/20 patients) and 75% (15/20) at hospital discharge. Levosimendan infusion in a cohort of neonates with univentricular anatomy was safe and potentially beneficial on postoperative hemodynamic and metabolic parameters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the successful application of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist to a child with cystic fibrosis who underwent single-lung transplantation. DESIGN Case report. SETTING Pediatric cardiac intensive care unit. PATIENT A 15-yr-old male with cystic fibrosis was admitted to our pediatric cardiac intensive care unit after single-lung transplantation. The child had previously received two bowel resections at the age of 1 yr, right pneumonectomy at the age of 3 yrs, and endoscopic percutaneus gastrostomy at the age of 10 yrs. After transplant, the child failed several attempts of weaning off mechanical ventilation with pressure-support ventilation, due to infection, pneumothorax, and ventilator asynchrony that caused gastric distension and numerous episodes of nausea and vomiting. INTERVENTION Use of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist to avoid patient-ventilator dyssynchrony and consequent gastric distension. CONCLUSIONS The utilization of neurally adjusted ventilatory assist allowed to limit the risk of overassistance and prevent patient-ventilator asynchrony and to successfully wean the child off mechanical ventilation after single-lung transplant.

Abstract
Novae are thermonuclear explosions on a white dwarf surface fueled by mass accreted from a companion star. Current physical models posit that shocked expanding gas from the nova shell can produce x-ray emission, but emission at higher energies has not been widely expected. Here, we report the Fermi Large Area Telescope detection of variable gamma-ray emission (0.1 to 10 billion electron volts) from the recently detected optical nova of the symbiotic star V407 Cygni. We propose that the material of the nova shell interacts with the dense ambient medium of the red giant primary and that particles can be accelerated effectively to produce pi(0) decay gamma-rays from proton-proton interactions. Emission involving inverse Compton scattering of the red giant radiation is also considered and is not ruled out.

Abstract
We report on the first Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) measurements of the so-called "extragalactic" diffuse gamma-ray emission (EGB). This component of the diffuse gamma-ray emission is generally considered to have an isotropic or nearly isotropic distribution on the sky with diverse contributions discussed in the literature. The derivation of the EGB is based on detailed modeling of the bright foreground diffuse Galactic gamma-ray emission, the detected LAT sources, and the solar gamma-ray emission. We find the spectrum of the EGB is consistent with a power law with a differential spectral index gamma = 2.41 +/- 0.05 and intensity I(>100 MeV) = (1.03 +/- 0.17) x 10(-5) cm(-2) s(-1) sr(-1), where the error is systematics dominated. Our EGB spectrum is featureless, less intense, and softer than that derived from EGRET data.
