Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes and mobile genetic elements of 16 Escherichia coli isolates-with reduced susceptibility to ceftazidime and imipenem-that were recovered from the fecal samples of coyotes and wild hogs from West Texas, USA. Whole-genome sequencing data analyses revealed distinct isolates with a unique sequence type and serotype designation. Among 16 isolates, 4 isolates were multidrug resistant, and 5 isolates harbored at least 1 beta-lactamase gene (blaCMY-2, blaCTX-M-55, or blaCTX-M-27) that confers resistance to beta-lactam antimicrobials. Several isolates carried genes conferring resistance to tetracyclines (tet(A), tet(B), and tet(C)), aminoglycosides (aac(3)-IId, ant(3″)-Ia, aph(3')-Ia, aph(3″)-lb, aadA5, and aph(6)-ld), sulfonamides (sul1, sul2, and sul3), amphenicol (floR), trimethoprim (dfrA1 and dfrA17), and macrolide, lincosamide, and streptogramin B (MLSB) agents (Inu(F), erm(B), and mph(A)). Nine isolates showed chromosomal mutations in the promoter region G of ampC beta-lactamase gene, while three isolates showed mutations in gyrA, parC, and parE quinolone resistance-determining regions, which confer resistance to quinolones. We also detected seven incompatibility plasmid groups, with incF being the most common. Different types of virulence genes were detected, including those that enhance bacterial fitness and pathogenicity. One blaCMY-2 positive isolate (O8:H28) from a wild hog was also a Shiga toxin-producing E. coli and was a carrier of the stx2A virulence toxin subtype. We report the detection of blaCMY-2, blaCTX-M-55, and blaCTX-M-27 beta-lactamase genes in E. coli from coyotes for the first time. This study demonstrates the importance of wildlife as reservoirs of important multi-drug-resistant bacteria and provides information for future comparative genomic analysis with the limited literature on antimicrobial resistance dynamics in wildlife such as coyotes.

Abstract
The ecology of infectious diseases involves wildlife, yet the wildlife interface is often neglected and understudied. Pathogens related to infectious diseases are often maintained within wildlife populations and can spread to livestock and humans. In this study, we explored the fecal microbiome of coyotes and wild hogs in the Texas panhandle using polymerase chain reactions and 16S sequencing methods. The fecal microbiota of coyotes was dominated by members of the phyla Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. At the genus taxonomic level, Odoribacter, Allobaculum, Coprobacillus, and Alloprevotella were the dominant genera of the core fecal microbiota of coyotes. While for wild hogs, the fecal microbiota was dominated by bacterial members of the phyla Bacteroidetes, Spirochaetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. Five genera, Treponema, Prevotella, Alloprevotella, Vampirovibrio, and Sphaerochaeta, constitute the most abundant genera of the core microbiota of wild hogs in this study. Functional profile of the microbiota of coyotes and wild hogs identified 13 and 17 human-related diseases that were statistically associated with the fecal microbiota, respectively (p < 0.05). Our study is a unique investigation of the microbiota using free-living wildlife in the Texas Panhandle and contributes to awareness of the role played by gastrointestinal microbiota of wild canids and hogs in infectious disease reservoir and transmission risk. This report will contribute to the lacking information on coyote and wild hog microbial communities by providing insights into their composition and ecology which may likely be different from those of captive species or domesticated animals. This study will contribute to baseline knowledge for future studies on wildlife gut microbiomes.

Abstract
Heterococcoliths are micron-scale calcite platelets produced by coccolithophores. They have been the most abundant and continuous fossil record over the last 215 million years (Myr), offering great potential for geochemical studies, although the heterococcolith fossil record remains underutilised in this domain. We have mapped heterococcoliths' composition using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) with a 100-nm resolution beam to decipher element distributions in heterococcoliths and to investigate the potential development of geochemical proxies for palaeoceanography. The study presents two Middle Jurassic Watznaueria britannica heterococcoliths from Cabo Mondego, Portugal. XRF analysis was performed with a 17 keV incident energy beam at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility ID22NI beamline to study elements from Sr down to S. Ca, Sr and Mn are distributed following the heterococcolith crystalline arrangement. Cl, Br and S display an homogeneous distribution, whereas K, Fe, Cu, Zn and Rb are concentrated at the edges and in the central area of the heterococcoliths. Distributions of K, Fe, Ti, Fe, Cu, Zn, Rb and to a lesser extent V and Cr are highly influenced by clay contamination and peripheral diagenetic overgrowth. Mn is related to diagenetic Mn-rich CaCO3 overgrowth on top of or between heterococcoliths shields. Cl and Br are likely to be present in heterococcoliths inside interstitial nano-domains. We assume that the cytoplasm [Cl(-) ] and [Br(-) ] are mediated and constant during heterococcolithogenesis. Assuming a linear correlation between cytoplasm [Cl(-) ] and sea water [Cl(-) ], heterococcolith Cl may have potential as a salinity proxy. As S is incorporated into heterococcoliths by sulphated polysaccharides, our study suggests a role for such polysaccharides in heterococcolithogenesis for at least 170 Myr. The low Sr/Ca in the W. britannica specimens studied here may either highlight an unusual cellular physiology of Mesozoic coccolithophores or result from low growth rates in oligotrophic environments.

Abstract
Laparoscopy has been holding its strong position within visceral surgery for decades. For several diagnoses, laparoscopy became the method of first choice. Laparoscopic splenectomy is a standardized procedure in patients indicated mostly due to haematological disorders. Apart from bleeding disorders, pregnancy used to be recognized as a contraindication to laparoscopic surgery. Splenic cysts are extremely rare during pregnancy; only seven cases have been described in literature. The authors had to deal with a patient treated and observed by haematologist for haemorrhagic splenic cyst and hypersplenism. Because of her low compliance, the patient did not undergo splenectomy in the past. Due to the gradual progression of disease and furthermore because of her pregnancy, the question of splenectomy became semi-urgent. The patient underwent laparoscopic splenectomy in second trimester, while not only the surgery alone, but also her early postoperative period and remaining pregnancy passed off uneventful. The authors suggest that even in pregnancy, the patients suffering from serious haematological disorders necessitating splenectomy could safely benefit from the advantages of laparoscopic approach, which also in these cases could become a gold standard (Fig. 2, Ref. 13).

Abstract
X-ray absorption spectroscopy is a well-established method for probing local structural and electronic atomic environments in a variety of systems. We used X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy for monitoring in real-time conditions selenium reduction in situ in live cultures of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 under high hydrostatic pressure. High-quality XANES data show that Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 reduces selenite Se(IV) to red elemental selenium Se(0) up to 150 MPa without any intermediate redox state. MR-1 reduces all selenite provided (5-10 mM) between 0.1 and 60 MPa. Above 60 MPa the selenite reduction yield decreases linearly with pressure and the activity is calculated to stop at 155 ± 5 MPa. The analysis of cultures recovered after in situ measurements showed that the decrease in activity is linked to a decrease in viability. This study emphasizes the promising potential of XANES spectroscopy for real-time probing in situ microbial redox transformations of a broad range of metal and metalloid elements in live samples, including under high hydrostatic pressure.

Abstract
We monitored alcoholic fermentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a function of high hydrostatic pressure. Ethanol production from 0.15 M glucose was measured by Raman spectroscopy in situ in a diamond-anvil cell. At 10 MPa, fermentation proceeds three times faster than at ambient pressure and the fermentation yield is enhanced by 5% after 24 h. Above 20 MPa, the reaction kinetics slows down with increasing pressure. The pressure above which no more ethanol is produced is calculated to be 87 +/- 7 MPa. These results indicate that the activity of one or several enzymes of the glycolytic pathway is enhanced at low pressure up to 10 MPa. At higher pressures, they become progressively repressed, and they are completely inhibited above 87 MPa. Although fermentation was predicted to stop at ca. 50 MPa, due to the loss of activity of phosphofructokinase, the present study demonstrates that there is still an activity of ca. 30% of that measured at ambient pressure at 65 MPa. This study also validates the use of Raman spectroscopy for monitoring the metabolism of living microorganisms.

Abstract
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a potentially lethal disease. There are numerous studies published on acute pancreatitis. This article presents the results of research of many scientists in the field of acute pancreatitis. The main aim of this article is to present the possible septic complications of acute pancreatitis, its diagnostic and treatment modalities. Early morbidity and mortality are the result of activation of mediators with failure of circulation and other organ systems. The overall mortality of patients with acute necrotising pancreatitis is in the range of 10-15 %. Secondary pancreatic infection and sepsis develop in 40-70 % of patients with 80 % mortality. Pancreatic infection is caused by bacterial contamination of pancreatic necrosis. Infection is usually recorded in the second week of the disease in 24 % and in 71 % during the fourth week of the disease. The incidence of secondary infection and sepsis correlates with the extent of pancreatic necrosis. The prevention of infection and sepsis by systemic administration of antibiotics is considered a principal step in the therapy of acute pancreatitis (Ref 62).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The authors present the results and follow up of patients with simple parenchymal and peripelvic cysts who underwent retroperitoneoscopic cyst decortication. MATERIAL AND METHODS The records of 19 patients who underwent 3/4-port retroperitoneoscopic cyst decortication between January 1999 and January 2004 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients admitted to the hospital were symptomatic, the most common presenting syptoms were flank pain (19p) and hematuria (6p). The cyst size ranged from 8 to 15cm (mean size 10cm). 10 cysts were located on the right kidney and 9 cysts on the left kidney. The mean age of patients was 51 years. 16 patients had a simple parenchymal cyst corresponding to Bosniak type I (8 patients underwent cyst aspiration and sclerotherapy with 96 % alcohol in past), 2 patients had peripelvic cyst corresponding to Bosniak type II and 1 patient had a parenchymal cyst Bosniak type II. RESULTS Retroperitoneoscopic renal cyst decortication was successfully performed in all patients, no conversion was needed. The mean operative time was 70 min (50-90 min) in patients with parenchymal and peripelvic cysts. The mean operative blood loss was 70 ml (50-130 ml) and the mean lenght of hospital stay was 3 days (2-5 days). The follow up ranged from 6 to 48 months and during that period were all patients asymptomatic, with no signs of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Retroperitoneoscopic cyst decortication is a safe and effective operative procedure in the treatment of symptomatic renal cysts with the minimal complication rate and excellent results (Tab. 2, Fig. 3, Ref. 30).

Abstract
During the period from July 1997 to November 1999, five patients were electively surgically treated at the II Surgical Clinic due to stenosis of biliodigestive anastomoses. All patients were afflicted by stenosis of hepatojejunal anastomoses which were performed at various surgical clinics in order to correct iatrogenic lesions of biliary ducts. Re-operation was performed by use of the mucosa-to-mucosa anastomosis technique without transanastomotic drainage. There were two post-operational complications and no mortality. The authors discuss the safety and effectiveness of biliodigestive anastomoses carried out without transanastomotic drainage, and present the possibilities and indications of endoscopic therapy in these states.

Abstract
Chlorhexidine (CHX) and Hydrogen peroxide (HP) are potent antibacterial agents that are used in controlling dental plaque. However, both agents bear undesired side-effects. We have tested the hypothesis that an antibacterial synergistic effect can occur between the two agents against Streptococcus sobrinus, Streptococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. We have found that at several combinations of HP and CHX an antibacterial synergistic effect does occur, while at other combinations a on-significant synergism was noticed. No antagonism between the two agents was found in our experimental system. It can be postulated that the mechanism of this synergistic effect is via alteration of the bacterial cell-surface by CHX thereby allowing for an increased amount of HP to penetrate and to react with the intercellular organelles of the bacteria. These results suggest that CHX and HP can be of use in controlling the dental plaque in the oral cavity.

Abstract
UNLABELLED There are not many studies about the intestinal parasitosis (IP) and atopic asthma (AA) relationship, and these show discordant results, possibly due to different studies design and differences in population selection. On the basis of personal results obtained by an epidemiological inquiry designed to estimate the prevalence of enteroparasitoses in asthmatic children and vice vesa, the aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of IP in AA and in a control group (CG) by a cross sectional study using clinical and laboratorial parameters, applied to 63 children (47 with AA and 16 in CG) aged 6 to 11 years, 37 males and 26 females, Caucasians, with the same socioeconomical conditions, consecutively selected in our Hospital. The results showed: The IP in AA children was 21.3%; the IP in CG was 25%; in the group with AA and IP, 40% of them had symptomology of IP; in the CG with IP, 100% had symptoms. CONCLUSIONS The IP prevalence in AA was not statistically different from the IP in CG (p > 0.05) More data are needed to clarify the significant differences between the symptomatology rates of IP in asthmatic and non asthmatics; the reduced number of patients with symptoms in AA may reflect modulation of IP in AA and/or different parasite load.
