Abstract
Over the last decade, hospitalizations for infective endocarditis (IE) have been steadily increasing, leading to a significant healthcare burden. Pericardial effusion (PCE) has been identified as a serious complication of IE, yet no significant association with mortality has been established. Our study aims to further analyze and understand the significance of PCE in patients with IE. We performed a retrospective analysis using the national inpatient sample database to identify all the hospital admissions with IE using ICD 10 codes and stratified them into 2 groups based on the presence of PCE. The outcomes of interest were inhospital mortality, inhospital complications, need for cardiac surgery, and length of stay. From 2015 Q4-2019, a total of 76,260 hospitalizations were included (weighted: 381,300), of which 2.7% included a PCE diagnosis. Hospitalizations with a PCE diagnosis included patients that were younger (51 vs 61, P < 0.001), as well as slightly more males (58.0% vs 55.2%, P = 0.011), and black patients (16.9% vs 12.9%, P < 0.001). PCE was associated with higher in-hospital death (12.7% vs 9.0%, P < 0.001), longer lengths of stay (12 days vs 7 days, P < 0.001), higher rates of cardiac surgery (22.4% vs 7.3%, P < 0.001). The rates of heart failure, heart block, renal failure, cardiogenic shock, and embolic stroke were higher on PCE group. We found that presence of PCE is associated with higher inhospital mortality, longer length of stay, and greater utilization of cardiac surgery, as well as presence of heart failure, heart block, cardiogenic shock, and embolic stroke.

Abstract
Neural circuit function is shaped both by the cell types that comprise the circuit and the connections between those cell types 1 . Neural cell types have previously been defined by morphology 2, 3 , electrophysiology 4, 5 , transcriptomic expression 6-8 , connectivity 9-13 , or even a combination of such modalities 14-16 . More recently, the Patch-seq technique has enabled the characterization of morphology (M), electrophysiology (E), and transcriptomic (T) properties from individual cells 17-20 . Using this technique, these properties were integrated to define 28, inhibitory multimodal, MET-types in mouse primary visual cortex 21 . It is unknown how these MET-types connect within the broader cortical circuitry however. Here we show that we can predict the MET-type identity of inhibitory cells within a large-scale electron microscopy (EM) dataset and these MET-types have distinct ultrastructural features and synapse connectivity patterns. We found that EM Martinotti cells, a well defined morphological cell type 22, 23 known to be Somatostatin positive (Sst+) 24, 25 , were successfully predicted to belong to Sst+ MET-types. Each identified MET-type had distinct axon myelination patterns and synapsed onto specific excitatory targets. Our results demonstrate that morphological features can be used to link cell type identities across imaging modalities, which enables further comparison of connectivity in relation to transcriptomic or electrophysiological properties. Furthermore, our results show that MET-types have distinct connectivity patterns, supporting the use of MET-types and connectivity to meaningfully define cell types.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction/Objective
Deep learning algorithms on digital images of physical tissue slides have shown potential improvements in accuracy and precision of diagnostic interpretation of neoplastic histology. Clustering-constrained- attention multiple-instance learning (CLAM) is one such method that identifies diagnostic sub-regions to accurately classify whole slides. Often, algorithm performance degrades when deployed on datasets that differ from the original set and it is subject to physical slide preparation variability. New multiphoton imaging modalities have potential workflow and quality advantages over physical slides, producing images analogous to whole slide imaging (WSI) without cutting artifacts, but performance of existing algorithms trained on digitized physical slides and applied to multiphoton images remains completely unknown. Given this, we aimed to test the performance of CLAM algorithms for subtyping renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and lung cancer (LC) applied to pseudo-colored multiphoton WSI.
Methods/Case Report
Clinical RCC and LC surgical resection samples were processed and imaged by Clearing Histology with MulitPhoton microscopy (CHiMP, Applikate Technologies, Fairfield, CT), producing digital images of un- cut, un-embeded tissue to generate H&E-like optical slices. Multiphoton images were downscaled to 0.5 um/px to match algorithm target resolution. CLAM models for subtyping RCC (chromophobe, clear cell, papillary) and LC (squamous & adenocarcinoma) previously trained using TCGA and CPTAC whole slide images of physical slides were applied directly to CHiMP multiphoton images without adjustment. Reference cancer subtype classifications were provided from physical and digital slides.
Results (if a Case Study enter NA)
For the subtypes included during training, multiphoton WSIs of RCC and LC were accurately subtyped by the CLAM models without stain normalization nor network fine tuning producing high prediction levels. Subtypes not included during the training (namely oncocytoma for RCC) resulted in low scoring model predictions (below 0.85), indicating specificity of identification. Multiple slide levels improved interpretation of several difficult cases for CLAM predictions.
Conclusion
This preliminary data suggests that CLAM models trained on standard H&E WSIs for RCC and LC subtyping are applicable to pseudo-H&E multiphoton WSIs without domain adaptations. This implies that diagnostic histologic features have been learned by these CLAM models and are efficiently recognized in digital histology images produced via CHiMP.

Abstract
Introduction The measurement of the physiological coherence, the order and the quality of the connection of complex systems such as the cardiac and the respiratory system, varies in situations of stress and relaxation. Objectives We aim to assess changes in physiological coherence and perception of stress during mental stress and directed breathing exercises. Methods Repeated-measures study in healthy adults without prior training in breathing techniques, aged between 18 and 65 years of both sexes who were evaluated in three situations: baseline, mental stress (Stroop test and successive subtractions), and directed breathing, during which were captured heart rate and respiratory signals to estimate physiological coherence and the participants rated the perceived stress at each moment. Results 34 participants were analyzed, 59% women, with a median age of 36 years (Rq = 13). During mental stress tasks, the median for physiological coherence was similar to baseline coherence but increased significantly with five minutes of directed breathing exercises (38% vs. 63% p <0.0001). The highest perception of stress was during successive subtractions (Me 7, Rq = 4) and the lowest during directed breathing exercises (Me 2 Rq = 3.0). The correlation was sought between physiological coherence and perception of stress during each of the four moments of the study. Basal (Rho Spearman -0.05, p 0.54); Stroop (Rho -0.17, p 0.03); successive subtractions (Rho 0.50, p 0.77); and directed breathing (Rho -0.28, p 0.09). Conclusions A correlation was found between physiological coherence and perception of stress during the Stroop test; however, no association was found. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection continues to be a worldwide public health problem. In Mexico, at least three million adults are estimated to have acquired hepatitis B (total hepatitis B core antibody [anti-HBc]-positive), and of those, 300,000 active carriers (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]-positive) could require treatment. Because HBV is preventable through vaccination, its universal application should be emphasized. HBV infection is a major risk factor for developing hepatocellular carcinoma. Semi-annual liver ultrasound and serum alpha-fetoprotein testing favor early detection of that cancer and should be carried out in all patients with chronic HBV infection, regardless of the presence of advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. Currently, nucleoside/nucleotide analogues that have a high barrier to resistance are the first-line therapies.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Does sodium tungstate treatment induce a change in endometrial cells’ capacity to implant trophoblasts?
Summary answer
Administration of sodium tungstate to endometrial cells increases trophoblast adhesion.
What is known already
Sodium tungstate (ST) has shown its capacity to modulate the activity of cytokines, such as leptin, an activator of an obligatory signalling cascade in the embryo-implantation process. STAT3, a signal transducer molecule critical for the embryo implantation process, is also known to be activated by ST. Still, ST’s effect on implantation using biological systems has never been studied. Embryo implantation process and endometrium roles are complicated to study in vivo due to a lack of animal models and appropriate techniques. In vitro techniques using immortalised cell lines allows a first approach to study early implantation stages, such as embryo adhesion.
Study design, size, duration
An in vitro study was carried out using a human endometrial carcinoma cell line (HEC–1-A) treated with sodium tungstate for 24 and 48h, and choriocarcinoma cell spheroids (JAr). Different times of treatment and concentrations were studied. Each experiment was performed in triplicate.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
Confluent endometrial HEC–1-A cultures were treated with ST at concentrations (0–150mM) and withaferin A (1mM), negative control for embryo adhesion. After the treatment period, HEC–1-A cultures were washed with ST-free culture medium to eliminate ST. Immediately, 15 JAr trophoblast spheroids were added to cultures and coincubated with gentle agitation for 30, 60 and 90 minutes. An inverted light microscope was used to count adhered and floating spheroids, and determine the trophoblast adherence ratio.
Main results and the role of chance
HEC–1-A cells treated with ST showed normal morphology and growth at all doses except 150mM. At the highest dose tested, the cells’ culture was still viable (negative blue trypan staining) and maintained morphology, but the adhesion to the plate surface was affected. Doses from 0.15 to 15mM were used to perform adhesion assays.
HEC–1-A cells treated with ST for 24h showed an increased capacity to adhere JAr trophoblast spheroids. Adhesion rates reached significant differences at doses of 1.5 and 15mM after 60 and 90 minutes of coincubation. After 90 minutes, untreated cells reached 32.8% adhesion rate, while 1.5 and 15mM ST-treated cells reached 54.6% and 53.4% respectively (p < 0.05 ST vs untreated). Thus, the increment of trophoblast adhesion rate induced by ST reached 66%. Lower adhesion rates were observed after 60 minutes of coincubation but were also significant with a relative increase of 49.1% at 1.5mM and 50.5% at 1.5mM when compared with untreated cells (p < 0.05)
Longer treatments (48h) showed similar trends to 24h-treatments, but with a lower extent of ST effect on HEC–1-A receptivity. Maximum adhesion rates were also observed at 90 minutes of coincubation and 1.5 and 15mM doses. The Mean adhesion rate increase was >40% with both doses. Limitations, reasons for caution: The current study is the first approach to evaluate sodium tungstate effect on endometrium using an in vitro model. Future research using in vivo models should be performed to assess sodium tungstate effect on endometrium receptivity and its potential as a fertility treatment.
Wider implications of the findings: We conclude that the direct effect of sodium tungstate on endometrial cells increases embryo adhesion rate. These results open a new research line to a potential treatment in human reproduction management with sodium tungstate to solve the unmet need of inducing embryo implantation.

Abstract
The fluorescence signals emitted by chlorophyll molecules of plants is a promising non-destructive indicator of plant physiology due to its close link to photosynthesis. In this work, a deep photophysical study of chlorophyll fluorescence was provided, to assess the sub-optimal illumination effects on three plant species: L. sativa, A. hybridus and S. dendroideum. In all the cases, low light (LL) treatment induced an increase in pigment content. Fluorescence ratios - corrected by light reabsorption processes - remained constant, which suggested that photosystems stoichiometry was conserved. For all species and treatments, quantum yields of photophysical decay remained around 0.2, which meant that the maximum possible photosynthesis efficiency was about 0.8. L. sativa (C3) acclimated to low light illumination, displayed a strong increase in the LHC size and a net decrease in the photosynthetic efficiency. A. hybridus (C4) was not appreciably stressed by the low light availability whereas S. dendroideum (CAM), decreased its antenna and augmented the quantum yield of primary photochemistry. A novel approach to describe NPQ relaxation kinetics was also presented here and used to calculate typical deactivation times and amplitudes for NPQ components. LL acclimated L. sativa presented a much larger deactivation time for its state-transition-related quenching than the other species. Comprehensive fluorescence analysis allowed a deep study of the changes in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis upon low light illumination treatment.

Abstract
The association between atrial fibrillation, stroke, and interatrial block (IAB) (P-wave duration ≥120 ms) is well recognized, particularly in the case of advanced IAB. We aimed to assess the association of IAB with mild cognitive impairment. Advanced Characterization of Cognitive Impairment in Elderly with Interatrial Block was a case-control multicenter study, conducted in subjects aged ≥70 years in sinus rhythm without significant structural heart disease. Diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment was performed by an expert geriatrician, internist, or neurologist in the presence of changes in cognitive function (Mini Mental State Examination score 20 to 25) without established dementia. A total of 265 subjects were included. Mean age was 79.6 ± 6.3 years and 174 (65.7%) were women; there were 143 cases with mild cognitive impairment and 122 controls with normal cognitive function. Compared with controls, cases had longer P-wave duration (116.2 ± 13.8 ms vs 112.5 ± 13.3 ms, p = 0.028), higher prevalence of IAB (73 [51.0%] vs 38 [31.1%], p = 0.001), higher prevalence of advanced IAB (28 [19.6%] vs 10 [8.2%], p = 0.002), and higher MVP ECG risk score (2.7 ± 1.4 vs 2.2 ± 1.3, p = 0.004). IAB was independently associated with mild cognitive impairment, both for partial (odds ratio 2.0, 95% CI: 1.1 to 3.9) and advanced IAB (odds ratio 2.8, 95% CI: 1.1 to 6.7). In conclusion, in subjects aged ≥70 years without significant structural heart disease, IAB is independently associated with mild cognitive impairment. This association is stronger in the case of advanced IAB.

Abstract
Background:Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease classified as radiographic (r-axSpA) or non-radiographic (nr-axSpA). Defining the gait patterns associated with these two groups can improve its detection and promote early intervention. In normal walking, body segments move around the joints as struts of an inverted pendulum. The resultant cyclic rotations contribute to the forward translation of the body, while minimizing muscle work and maintaining stability. Recent literature describes a decline in this pendulum-like mechanism associated with aging and some neurological diseases (Parkinson and multiple sclerosis).Objectives:The aim was to compare the 3D gait kinematics of patients with r-axSpA and nr-axSpA.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on 54 participants (18-50 years old), 27 patients with axSpA (according to ASAS criteria, with less than 10 years since symptoms onset) and 27 healthy controls, matched by gender, age and level of physical activity. A sub-analysis was performed involving the whole group of patients classified as r-axSpA (n=14) and nr-axSpA (n=6). Subjects movement was reconstructed using a 3D full-body kinematic model (Kinetikos, Coimbra, Portugal) fed by 15 inertial sensors placed in the head, arms, trunk, pelvis, thighs, shanks and feet. 3D gait kinematics was characterised based on variables that analyse the body movement as a whole (e.g. center of mass displacement, speed), conventional spatiotemporal parameters (e.g. stance/swing time, step length) and joints kinematics time-normalized to 101 points, comprising the gait cycle from 0 to 100%. Nonparametric statistical tests were used.Results:In the r-axSpA group, 71,4% were male, with a mean age of 34.43±7.84 years and a BASDAI of 2.84±2.39, whereas in the nr-axSpA, 50% were male, with a mean age of 41.83±6.27 years and a BASDAI of 2.99±0.58. A statistically significant difference was observed in the displacement of the center of mass (with respect to the pelvis local coordinate system) along the anteroposterior axis between the two studied groups (H = 4.96, p = 0.03), with a mean rank displacement of 8.6 for r-axSpA and 15.00 for nr-axSpa, corresponding to a reduction in displacement of 38% (mean 0.00986 vs 0.01579m), in the r-axSpa group.Conclusion:Our preliminary results in r-axSpA subjects show a reduction of the pendulum mechanism. Although no significant segmental (kinematics) changes were observed, the sum of all studied variables result in a clear different gait pattern between the two groups. The observed decline can be an early sign of the inefficiency of the r-axSpA group to minimise the cost of transport of the center of mass during walking (i.e. increased instability). This study shows the potential of gait analysis to identify subjects who may benefit from early physiotherapy intervention.Disclosure of Interests:Nuno Gonçalves: None declared, Lúcia Domingues: None declared, Atlas Mashayekhi Sardoo: None declared, Lucian Radu: None declared, Santiago Rodrigues-Manica Speakers bureau: Jansse, MSD, Novartis, Agna Neto: None declared, Rita Torres: None declared, José Marona: None declared, Jaime Branco Speakers bureau: Vitoria, César Mendes: None declared, Ricardo Matias: None declared, Fernando Pimentel dos Santos Speakers bureau: Novartis, Pfizer, Biogen, Vitoria,

Abstract
Purpose Agonism of the prostaglandin E2 receptor, E-prostanoid receptor 2 (EP2), may represent an alternative protective mechanism in mast cell (MC)-mediated diseases. Previous studies have suggested that activation of the MC EP2 receptor prevents pathological changes in the murine models of allergic asthma. This work aimed to analytically validate the EP2 receptor on MCs as a therapeutic target. Methods Murine MC lines and primary cultures, and MCs bearing the human immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor were subjected to IgE-mediated activation subsequent to incubation with selective EP2 agonists. Two molecularly unrelated agonists, butaprost and CP-533536, were tested either in vitro or in 2 in vivo models of allergy. Results The diverse range of MC populations was consistently inhibited through selective EP2 agonism in spite of exhibiting a heterogeneous phenotype. Such inhibition occurred in both mouse and human IgE (hIgE)-mediated activation. The use of molecularly unrelated selective EP2 agonists allowed for the confirmation of the specificity of this protective mechanism. This effect was further demonstrated in 2 in vivo murine models of allergy where MCs are a key to pathological changes: cutaneous anaphylaxis in a transgenic mouse model expressing the hIgE receptor and aeroallergen-induced murine model of asthma. Conclusions Selective EP2 agonism is a powerful pharmacological strategy to prevent MCs from being activated through IgE-mediated mechanisms and from causing deleterious effects. The MC EP2 receptor may be an effective pharmacological target in allergic and other MC-mediated conditions.

Abstract
The emerging science of graphene-based engineered nanomaterials as either nanomedicines or dental materials in dentistry is growing. Apart from its exceptional mechanical characteristics, electrical conductivity and thermal stability, graphene and its derivatives can be functionalized with several bioactive molecules, allowing them to be incorporated into and improve different scaffolds used in regenerative dentistry. This review presents state of the art graphene-based engineered nanomaterial applications to cells in the dental field, with a particular focus on the control of stem cells of dental origin. The interactions between graphene-based nanomaterials and cells of the immune system, along with the antibacterial activity of graphene nanomaterials are discussed. In the last section, we offer our perspectives on the various applications of graphene and its derivatives in association with titanium dental implants, membranes for bone regeneration, resins, cements and adhesives, as well as tooth-whitening procedures.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) have a greater risk of relapse than non-TNBC. New therapeutic approaches are needed for these patients (pts). CIBOMA/2004-01_GEICAM/2003-11 is a multinational, randomized phase III trial exploring adjuvant capecitabine (X) after completion of standard treatment in early TNBC pts.
Materials and Methods: Patients with operable, node-positive (or node-negative with tumor size ≥ 1 cm), centrally confirmed hormone receptor-negative, HER2-negative early BC, who had received 6–8 cycles (cy) of standard anthracycline and/or taxane-containing chemotherapy or 4 cy of doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide (for node-negative disease) in the (neo)adjuvant setting, were eligible. Patients were randomized to either 8 cy of X (1,000 mg/m2 bid, days 1–14, every 3 weeks) or observation. Stratification factors included center, prior taxane-based therapy, number of involved axillary lymph nodes and phenotype (basal vs non-basal, according to cytokeratins 5/6 and/or EGFR positivity). The primary objective was to compare the disease-free survival (DFS) between both treatment arms, and secondary objectives included the comparison in terms of 5-year DFS, overall survival (OS) and safety. Assuming a 30% risk reduction in DFS rate at 5 years (from 64.7% to 73.7%, hazard ratio 0.70) with 80% power and a two-tailed log-rank test at 0.05, 834 evaluable pts were needed. 876 pts had to be finally enrolled considering a drop-out rate of 5%.
Results: Recruitment of 876 pts from 8 countries was completed in September 2011. Median age was 49 years; 68.5% of pts were postmenopausal, 55.5% were lymph node negative, 71.7% had a basal phenotype, 67.5% received chemotherapy based on anthracyclines and taxanes. Median follow-up was 7.3 years (range 0.0 to 11.1). DFS was not significantly prolonged with X vs observation (hazard ratio (HR) 0.82; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.63 to 1.06; P=0.1353). Five-year DFS was 79.6% (95% CI, 75.8% to 83.4%) with X and 76.8% (95% CI, 72.7% to 80.9%) with observation. OS was not statistically different between treatment arms (HR 0.92; 95% CI, 0.66 to 1.28; P=0.6228). In subgroup analysis for DFS, we found no statistically significant interaction between X treatment and different subgroups, with the exception of basal vs non-basal phenotypes (basal HR 0.97, 95% CI 0.72 to 1.32, P=0.8620; non-basal HR 0.51, 95% CI, 0.31 to 0.86, P=0.0101; interaction P=0.0357). Similar results were found for OS (basal HR 1.20, 95% CI 0.81 to 1.77, P=0.3684; non-basal HR 0.48, 95% CI, 0.26 to 0.91, P=0.0205; interaction P=0.0155). 75.2% of pts completed 8 cy of X, with a median relative dose intensity of 86.3%. Grade (G) 3 or higher adverse events (AEs) were observed in 40.4% of pts in X arm. In 9.6% of pts the AEs were related with X. Hand-foot syndrome was the most common AE in X arm (G3 on 18.8% of pts).
Conclusions: In our study, the addition of adjuvant X after standard (neo) adjuvant anthracycline and/or taxane-containing chemotherapy was not associated with a statistically significant improvement of DFS or OS compared to observation in pts with early TNBC. However, in a subgroup analysis a significant DFS and OS improvement was observed with X in pts with non-basal phenotype.

Abstract
The alpaca fiber diameter (FD) varies from 18 to 36 μm, being the finer fiber categories highly appreciated. However, the alpaca fiber presents some limitations in the textile industry due to the high incidence of fiber medullation and diameter variability, both reduces the comfort feeling of the garments. Decreasing or even removing medullation could be a possible selection objective in alpaca breeding programs for increasing economic value of the alpaca fiber. Therefore, the present work aimed to estimate genetic parameters regarding medullation traits, as well as the genetic correlations with other economical important traits, to be able to select the appropriate criteria to reduce or remove medullation on alpaca fiber and help to reduce the prickle factor in the garments. The data was collected from 2000 to 2017 and belonged to the Pacomarca experimental farm. There were 3698 medullation records corresponding to 1869 Huacaya and 414 Suri genetic types. The fiber samples were taken from the mid side, and were analyzed in an OFDA 100® device. The traits analyzed were percentage of medullation (PM), medullated fiber diameter (MFD), FD, standard deviation of FD, greasy fleece weight as fiber traits; density, crimp in Huacaya and lock structure in Suri, head conformation, leg coverage as morphological traits; weaning weight and age at first calving as secondary and functional traits. Genetic parameters were estimated via a multitrait restricted maximum likelihood. The heritabilities for PM and MFD were 0.225 and 0.237 in Huacaya genetic type and 0.664 and 0.237 in Suri genetic type, respectively; heritabilities for other traits were moderate for productive and morphological traits, and low to moderate for secondary and functional traits. The genetic correlations PM-FD and MFD-FD were high and favorable in both genetic types, between 0.531 and 0.975; the genetic correlation PM-MFD was 0.121 in Huacaya and 0.427 in Suri. The rest of genetic correlations with other traits were in general moderate and favorable. The repeatabilities were 0.556 and 0.668 for PM, and 0.322 and 0.293 for MFD in Huacaya and Suri genetic types, respectively. As a conclusion, PM was identified to be a good selection criterion, probably combined in an index with FD to reduce prickling factor.

Abstract
As a result of human activities, climate forecasts predict changes in the oceans pCO2 and salinity levels with unknown impacts on marine organisms. As a consequence, an increasing number of studies have begun to address the individual influence of pCO2 and salinity but much remains to be done to understand their combined effects on the physiology and ecology of marine species. Our study addressed this knowledge gap by measuring the influence of current and predicted levels of pCO2 (380 and 1200 ppm, respectively) and salinity (20, 25 and 30 psμ) on the energetic physiology of juvenile mussels (Mytilus chilensis) from the south-eastern Pacific region. Our results indicate that a reduced salinity caused a significant reduction in clearance rate, absorption efficiency and scope for growth of this species. Meanwhile, an increase in pCO2 levels caused a reduction in excretion rates and interacted significantly with salinity in the rate of oxygen uptake measured in the mussel. These results suggest that potential changes in salinity might have a direct role on the physiology of M. chilensis. The effect of pCO2, although less prevalent among the variables measured here, did interact with salinity and is also likely to alter the physiology of this species. Given the ecological and economic importance of M. chilensis, we call for further studies exploring the influence of pCO2 across a wider range of salinities.

Abstract
Two effective biocontrol products (named as BA3 and BA4) based on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CPA-8 have been reported as a potential alternative to chemical applications against brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. on stone fruit. To have practical use, this study aimed to describe the best packaging strategies (bags or flasks, atmosphere, and temperature of storage) to not only guarantee efficacy but also stability and ease of application of the products to be handled through the normal channels of distribution and storage. In terms of the viability neither the BA3 nor the BA4 product has been compromised after twelve months of storage. However, storage at 4 °C affected the stability and visual aspect of both CPA-8 formulations, mainly associated not only to the increase of RH but also aw. Moreover, it should be pointed out that flasks did not conserve refrigerated BA3 samples in a suitable way, since RH and aw increased noticeably making their visual properties unsightly after 10 months of cold storage. At that time, the BA4 products were better preserved at 4 °C when packaged in flasks. Finally, this study also demonstrated that the most suitable packaging conditions for long-term storability (stored at 22 °C) did not show any negative effect in the biocontrol efficacy of CPA-8 in nectarines artificially infected with M. fructicola and provide suitable product delivery and field application. In conclusion, these results contribute to the final stage of development of these two CPA-8 products, practically ready for registration, thus contributing to the environmental-friendly management of postharvest diseases in stone fruit.

Abstract
Background: In Paraguay, a low-middle income country (GDP per capita of USD 4,728.7), pediatric cancer is the second cause of mortality in children and adolescents 5-19 years of age. There are approximately 300 new cases of pediatric cancer per year. The Pediatric Cancer Center (PCC) of the School of Medicine (SoM) receives 120 new cases per year, of which 40% correspond to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Treatment abandonment is the interruption of patient contact with the health personnel and the treatment of more than 30 days after treatment initiation. At our cancer center, ALL treatment abandonment has been a serious problem. The rates were as high as 20% in 2006, lowering to 17.5% in 2008. To prevent abandonment at our center, we assessed the risk for abandonment, then, we concentrated in three basic interventions: review of compliance with appointment, training of parents and teachers, and access for care at satellites clinics closer to home. For missed appointment, parents are contacted via telephone, or through home visits; and in occasions assistance of child protection services was solicited. We systematically trained parents in the importance of the adherence to cancer treatment. Since 2009, we implemented a comprehensive system for referrals of new cases and follow-up by establishing the ReNaCI, (Red Nacional de Atencion al Cancer Infantil) network. Essential funds for building and sustaining the network has been provided by My Child Matters program under the auspices of Sanofi Espoir Fundation, Paris, France. Currently, as part of this network, there is 4 regional pediatric clinics for early cancer detection, referral, treatment, social assistance and follow up of pediatrics patients with cancer. Aim: Assess the effect of the network in the percentage of abandonment of treatment in patients with ALL treated at the PCC of the SoM in Asunción. Methods: We conducted a longitudinal descriptive study of children diagnosed with ALL at the PCC of the SoM between January 2009 and December 2017. We analyzed the percentage of abandonment since the implementation of the ReNACI network and compared with historical data. Results: From January 2009 to December 2017, 396 new patients with ALL diagnose at the PCC of the SoM. More than 70% of the families were evaluated as having an elevated social risk for abandonment. Abandonment rate decreased from 17.5% in 2008, in 2010%-1.96%, and since 2011 there were no abandonment. However, we still observed in the study period 12% of missed appointments to continue the treatment protocol. Conclusion: The ReNaCI network allowed a successful implementation of interventions to address abandonment by establishing a systems of satellite clinics for a medical and social support for the child and his family closer to home during the entire treatment period. But, despite the achievements, a continuous monitoring is still required to sustain the success of our intervention. Funding: Sanofi Espoir Foundation

Abstract
Disinfection of surface facilities during postharvest handling operation is an important practice to avoid secondary fruit infections at stone fruit packinghouses. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of six environmental friendly disinfectants against Monilinia fructicola, Penicillium expansum, Rhizopus spp., and Alternaria spp. on plastic and wood surfaces. Hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, sodium hypochlorite, Mico-E-pro®, Proallium FRD-N®, and DMC Clean-CNS® were used as the disinfectants. Untreated and surfaces treated with water were used as controls. Plastic and wood surfaces were sampled with Rodac plates at 2 and 24 h after treatments and the number of colonies were counted. In general, all disinfectants reduce the number of viable conidia from all studied surfaces. Hydrogen peroxide used in a concentration of 150 mg L-1 was the less effective disinfectant in all studied pathogens. The commercial product Mico-E-pro® composed of oregano, onion, and orange extract at a dose of 10 mg L-1 was the most effective disinfectant. Rhizopus spp. was the pathogen more resistant to the disinfectants followed by P. expansum, M. fructicola, and Alternaria spp. Water decreased the number of conidia adhered to the surface. In addition, the untreated control showed substantial conidia reduction after 24 h of artificial inoculation.

Abstract
We measured and compared mercury (Hg) and other ions in rainwater collected in San Joaquin (mining zone) and Juriquilla (urban area), central Mexico, from 2009 to 2012. A total of 274 rainwater samples were collected and analyzed for pH, electrical conductivity, [Formula: see text] Cl-, [Formula: see text] Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Hg. Mercury concentrations in rainwater varied from 24.21 to 248.89 (x-bar = 86.97 ± 10.77) µg L- 1 in San Joaquin (mining zone) and 11.26 to 176.91 (x-bar = 81.51 ± 10.24) µg L- 1 in Juriquilla (urban area). Rainwater sample were collected over periods 1-3 days, depending upon precipitation frequency. Significant correlations (p < 0.05) were found between [Formula: see text] Cl-, [Formula: see text] Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Hg at the San Joaquin site. Significant correlations were obtained between [Formula: see text] Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Hg at the Juriquilla site. In order to determine if there were significant differences among each measured parameter in rainwater collected in San Joaquin and Juriquilla, Kruskal-Wallis test was applied to data. We emphasized that the distribution and concentrations of Hg and the studied ions in rainwater samples were affected by atmospheric dust and local meteorological conditions of wind-speed and direction.

Abstract
BAKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of two strategies of blood pressure (BP) measurement-based follow-up in hypertension and albuminuria control. PATIENTS AND METHODS Multicentre, prospective, randomised, open trial with a parallel-group design. Nineteen primary care centres and a hospital clinic participated. Adult type 2 diabetics with systolic BP ≥140mmHg without relevant renal disease were randomised to one of two follow-up strategies: 1) standard follow up, with a clinic BP target <140/90mmHg and 2) self-monitoring home BP (SMHBP)-based follow up, with a BP target <135/85mmHg. Biochemical standard blood variables, albuminuria, and 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring were performed at entry, 12 and 24 months. The main outcome measurement was 24-h ambulatory systolic BP variation. Albuminuria change was analysed as a secondary outcome. RESULTS 116 patients were analysed (mean age: 66.8 years). Mean systolic ambulatory 24- h BP change in two years was 3.9mmHg (95% CI 1.8-6.1). We did not find significant differences between both groups (p=0.706). Similarly, no differences were found when we compared other ambulatory BP values. Initial albuminuria was similar in both groups and did not significantly changed throughout the follow-up period. CONCLUSION In type 2 diabetics without relevant nephropathy a SMHBP- based follow up was equivalent to a standard clinic-based BP follow up in BP and albuminuria control.

Abstract
A retrospective review of post-op cone beam CT (CBCT) of 8 adult patients and 14 fresh temporal bones that underwent cochlear implantation with straight flexible electrodes array was performed to determine if the position of a long and flexible electrodes array within the cochlear scalae could be reliably assessed with CBCT. An oto-radiologist and two otologists examined the images and assessed the electrodes position. The temporal bone specimens underwent histological analysis for confirm the exact position. The position of the electrodes was rated as scala tympani, scala vestibule, or intermediate position for the electrodes at 180°, 360° and for the apical electrode. In the patient group, for the electrodes at 180° all observers agreed for scala tympani position except for 1 evaluation, while a discrepancy in 3 patients both for the 360° and for the apical electrode assessment were found. In five temporal bones the evaluations were in discrepancy for the 180° electrode, while at 360° a disagreement between raters on the scalar positioning was seen in six temporal bones. A higher discrepancy between was found in assessment of the scalar position of the apical electrode (average pairwise agreement 45.4%, Fleiss k = 0.13). A good concordance was found between the histological results and the consensus between raters for the electrodes in the basal turn, while low agreement (Cohen's k 0.31, pairwise agreement 50%) was found in the identification of the apical electrode position confirming the difficulty to correct identify the electrode position in the second cochlear turn in temporal bones. In conclusion, CBCT is a reliable radiologic exam to correctly evaluate the position of a lateral wall flexible array in implanted patients using the proposed imaging reconstruction method, while some artefacts impede exact evaluation of the position of the apical electrode in temporal bone and other radiological techniques should be preferred in ex vivo studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intraoperative conebeam CT has been introduced into the operating room and provides quick radiologic feedback. This study aimed to investigate its utility in the assessment of the positioning of the electrode array after cochlear implantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of 51 patients (65 ears) with intraoperative imaging by conebeam CT (O-arm) after cochlear implantation between 2013 and 2017. Correct placement into the cochlea was immediately identified. Positioning assessments were later analyzed with OsiriX software. RESULTS Intraoperative imaging was quickly performed in all cases. No misplacement into the vestibule or semicircular canals was found. A foldover of the implanted array was identified in 1 patient. Secondary analysis by 2 raters showed excellent agreement on insertion depth angle (intraclass correlation = 0.96, P < .001) and length of insertion of the electrode array (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.93, P = .04) measurements. The evaluation of the number of extracochlear electrodes was identical between the 2 raters in 78% of cases (Cohen κ = 0.55, P < .001). The scalar position was inconsistent between raters. When we compared O-arm and high-resolution CT images in 14 cases, the agreement was excellent for insertion depth angle (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.97, P < .001) and insertion length (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.98, P < .001), good for the number of extracochlear electrodes (Cohen κ = 0.63, P = .01), but moderate for the scalar position (Cohen κ = 0.59, P = .02). CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative conebeam CT using the O-arm is a safe, rapid, easy, and reliable procedure to immediately identify a misplacement or foldover of an electrode array. The insertion depth angle, insertion length, and number of electrodes inserted can be accurately assessed.

Abstract
Purpose To report the clinical outcomes in patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy with and without vein decompression for treatment of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). METHODS Thirty-five eyes with macular edema and visual acuity worse than 20/100 secondary to BRVO were prospectively evaluated. Vitrectomy with posterior hyaloid removal and vein decompression at the arteriovenous crossing was performed on 15 eyes (Group 1); consecutively, the same technique without vein decompression was performed on 20 eyes (Group 2). Primary outcome was visual acuity and secondary outcomes were resolution of macular edema and development of neovascularization. Results No differences were found between groups in either patient age (p=0.566) or preoperative visual acuity (p=0.505). No differences were found in visual acuity at 3 (p=0.651), 6 (p =0.697), 9 (p =0.763), 12 (p=0.881), or 18 (p=0.748) months. Mean time for macular edema resolution and visual acuity improvement was 9 months in both groups, with a mean improvement of 3.5 ± 2.35 lines in Group 1 and 3.2 ± 2.97 lines in Group 2. No eyes in either group developed new vessels. CONCLUSIONS Results suggest that vitrectomy with posterior hyaloid removal without vein decompression can resolve macular edema, improve vision, and prevent development of new vessels in BRVO.

Abstract
Stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are an economically important group of insects that attack numerous crops in the central valley of California. Management of these pests using pheromones or biological control can be species specific, and proper identification of insect species is essential for effective management. The objective was to examine genetic variability in four species of stink bugs, which included Chinavia hilaris (Say) (= Acrosternum hilare) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) , Chlorochroa uhleri (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) , Chlorochroa sayi (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), and Thyanta pallidovirens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and to determine whether there may be cryptic species present. Stink bugs were collected in pistachios or on adjacent vegetation when abundant in the central valley of California. The mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene region (i.e., the barcode) was sequenced for each individual. Data were combined with available GenBank accessions for each species and used to construct a phylogenetic tree. Divergence between genera ranged from 11.2 to 15.7%, whereas divergence between the two Chlorochroa spp. was 4.6%. Genetic variation within Chinavia hilaris collections was up to 4.7%, which suggests the presence of a cryptic species. Genetic divergence was highest between individuals of Chinavia hilaris from the west coast and the east coast of the United States. In contrast, genetic variation within individuals of C. uhleri and Ch. sayi was less than 1%. Nine haplotypes were found for Chinavia hilaris, five for C. uhleri, three for Ch. sayi, and five for T. pallidovirens. The relevance of correct species identification and genetic diversity to stink bug management practices was discussed.

Abstract
Itolizumab is a humanized anti-CD6 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that has previously shown encouraging results, in terms of safety and positive clinical effects, in a 6-week monotherapy clinical trial conducted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The current Phase I study evaluated the safety and clinical response for a longer treatment of 12 itolizumab intravenous doses in subjects with active RA despite previous disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. Twenty-one subjects were enrolled into four dosage groups (0·1, 0·2, 0·4 and 0·8 mg/kg). Efficacy end-points including American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20, ACR50 and ACR70 response rates and disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28) were monitored at baseline and at specific time-points during a 10-week follow-up period. Itolizumab was well tolerated up to the highest tested dose. No related serious adverse events were reported and most adverse events were mild. Remarkably, itolizumab treatment did not produce lymphopenia and, therefore, was not associated with infections. All patients achieved a clinical response (ACR20) at least once during the study. Eleven subjects (55%) achieved at least a 20% improvement in ACR just 1 week after the first itolizumab administration. The clinical response was observed from the beginning of the treatment and was sustained during 24 weeks. The efficacy profile of this 12-week treatment was similar to that of the previous study (6-week treatment). These results reinforce the safety profile of itolizumab and provide further evidence on the clinical benefit from the use of this anti-CD6 mAb in RA patients.

Abstract
Nanocarrier systems are currently being developed for peptide, protein and gene delivery to protect them in the blood circulation and in the gastrointestinal tract. Polylactic acid (PLA) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles loaded with a new antimicrobial GIBIM-P5S9K peptide were obtained by the double emulsion solvent extraction/evaporation method. PLA- and PLGA-NPs were spherical with sizes between 300 and 400 nm for PLA and 200 and 300 nm for PLGA and <0.3 polydispersity index as determined by dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy), having the zeta potential of >20 mV. The peptide-loading efficiency of PLA-NP and PLGA-NPs was 75% and 55%, respectively. PLA- and PLGA-NPs released around 50% of this peptide over 8 h. In 10% human sera the size of peptide loaded PLA- and PLGA-NPs increased between 25.2% and 39.3%, the PDI changed from 3.2 to 5.1 and the surface charge from -7.15 to 14.6 mV. Both peptide loaded PLA- and PLGA-NPs at 0.5 μM peptide concentration inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Pseudomonas. aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). In contrast, free peptide inhibited at 10 μM but did not inhibit at 0.5 and 1 μM. These PLA- and PLGA-NPs presented <10% hemolysis indicating that they are hemocompatible and promising for delivery and protection system of GIBIM-P5S9K peptide.
