Abstract
Neurotoxicity associated with cephalosporins is an increasingly recognized complication, although among cephalosporins, ceftazidime is rarely reported for such an adverse reaction. Moreover, subacute, rather than acute, presentation of neurotoxicity associated with cephalosporins is rare. A 77-year-old female patient with stage 4 chronic renal disease was admitted due to cellulitis in her right lower limb, multiorgan dysfunction complicated by oliguric acute kidney injury, and a need for hemodialysis via a central venous catheter. On the 13th day after admission, she became febrile, and bacteremia associated with a central venous catheter was identified, which prompted the initiation of empirical antibiotic therapy with vancomycin and ceftazidime. After 13 days of antibiotic therapy with vancomycin and ceftazidime, the patient became confused, with temporal-spatial disorientation and myoclonus, especially in the upper limbs, with worsening renal function. Ceftazidime was discontinued, and the patient's condition improved with complete remission of symptoms on the 8th day after symptom onset. Neurotoxicity associated with ceftazidime is a rare but probably underdiagnosed adverse reaction. It is more frequent in elderly patients with previous neurological dysfunction and end-stage kidney disease and/or acute kidney injury, and it usually manifests soon after starting treatment. Early identification and monitoring of risk factors and symptoms should lead the physician to a rapid withdrawal of the offending drug.

Abstract
Three new aurantiactinomyxon types are described from the oligochaete Ilyodrilus templetoni (Southern, 1909) (Naididae) collected from a northern Portuguese estuary, based on light microscopy and sequencing of the 18S rDNA. The addition of I. templetoni to the group of freshwater annelids known to be permissive for aurantiactinomyxon development reinforces the crucial role of naidids in the evolution and settlement of myxozoans in estuarine environments. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses of a comprehensive 18S rDNA dataset placed the novel types within the Paramyxidium clade. This positioning suggests them as probable life cycle counterparts to Paramyxidium spp. that most likely infect the European eel Anguilla anguilla, as the sole representative of Elopomorpha in Portuguese rivers. Although distance estimation revealed a genetic difference of only 0.4 % between Aurantiactinomyxon types 1 and 3, this value was determined to be representative of interspecific variability based on the consistent matching of both genotypes with distinct actinospore morphologies, and potential richness of closely related species of Paramyxidium infecting the European eel in Portuguese waters. The clustering of aurantiactinomyxon types within distinct myxosporean lineages, representative of the suborders Variisporina and Platysporina, demonstrates that the aurantiactinomyxon morphotype is highly functional in promoting myxozoan infections in estuarine environments.

Abstract
Microhaplotypes (MHs) consisting of multiple SNPs and indels on short stretches of DNA are new and interesting loci for forensic genetic investigations. In this study, we analysed 74 previously defined MHs in two of the populations that our laboratory provides with forensic genetic services, Danes and Greenlanders. In addition to the 229 SNPs that originally made up the 74 MHs, 66 SNPs and 3 indels were identified in the two populations, and 45 of these variants were included in new definitions of the MHs, whereas 24 SNPs were considered rare and of little value for case work. The average effective number of alleles (Ae) was 3.2, 3.0, and 2.6 in Danes, West Greenlanders, and East Greenlanders, respectively. High levels of linkage disequilibrium were observed in East Greenlanders, which reflects the characteristics of this population that has a small size, and signs of admixture and substructure. Pairwise kinship simulations of full siblings, half-siblings, first cousins, and unrelated individuals were performed using allele frequencies from MHs, STRs and SNPs from Danish and Greenlandic populations. The MH panel outperformed the currently used STR and SNP marker sets and was able to differentiate siblings from unrelated individuals with a 0% false positive rate and a 1.1% false negative rate using an LR threshold of 10,000 in the Danish population. However, the panel was not able to differentiate half-siblings or first cousins from unrelated individuals. The results generated in this study will be used to implement MHs as investigative markers for relationship testing in our laboratory.

Abstract
Cognitive impairments are a prevalent consequence of acquired brain injury, dementia, and age-related cognitive decline, hampering individuals' daily functioning and independence, with significant societal and economic implications. While neurorehabilitation represents a promising avenue for addressing these deficits, traditional rehabilitation approaches face notable limitations. First, they lack adaptability, offering one-size-fits-all solutions that may not effectively meet each patient's unique needs. Furthermore, the resource-intensive nature of these interventions, often confined to clinical settings, poses barriers to widespread, cost-effective, and sustained implementation, resulting in suboptimal outcomes in terms of intervention adaptability, intensity, and duration. In response to these challenges, this paper introduces NeuroAIreh@b, an innovative cognitive profiling and training methodology that uses an AI-driven framework to optimize neurorehabilitation prescription. NeuroAIreh@b effectively bridges the gap between neuropsychological assessment and computational modeling, thereby affording highly personalized and adaptive neurorehabilitation sessions. This approach also leverages virtual reality-based simulations of daily living activities to enhance ecological validity and efficacy. The feasibility of NeuroAIreh@b has already been demonstrated through a clinical study with stroke patients employing a tablet-based intervention. The NeuroAIreh@b methodology holds the potential for efficacy studies in large randomized controlled trials in the future.

Abstract
Human locomotion on water depends on the force produced by the swimmer to propel the body forward. Performance of highly complex motor tasks like swimming can yield minor variations that only nonlinear analysis can be sensitive enough to detect. The purpose of the present study was to examine the nonlinear properties of the hand/feet forces and describe their variations across the four competitive swimming strokes performing segmental and full-body swimming. Swimmers performed all-out bouts of 25 m in the four swimming strokes, swimming the full-body stroke, with the arm-pull only and with the leg kicking only. Hand/foot force and swimming velocity were measured. The Higuchi's fractal dimension (HFD) and sample entropy (SampEn) were used for the nonlinear analysis of force and velocity. Both the arm-pull and leg kicking alone were found to produce similar peak and mean hand/foot forces as swimming the full-body stroke. Hand force was more complex in breaststroke and butterfly stroke; conversely, kicking conditions were more complex in front crawl and backstroke. Moreover, the arm-pull and kicking alone tended to be more complex (higher HFD) but more predictable (lower SampEn) than while swimming the full-body stroke. There was no loss of force production from segmental swimming to the full-body counterpart. In conclusion, the number of segments in action influences the nonlinear behavior of the force produced and, when combining the four limbs, the complexity of the hand/foot force tends to decrease.

Abstract
Ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OT-DSD) is a rare condition characterized by the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissue in the gonads. Management and sex designation of these patients depend on several factors, and an underlying potential for gender dysphoria should be acknowledged. We present a case of a patient diagnosed with 46,XX OT-DSD at 12 months old who was attributed a female sex designation but started manifesting gender dysphoria during adolescence. Gender identity is an important factor to consider on long-term follow-up of OT-DSD patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a worldwide lockdown, which affected physical exercise habits, as well as having a detrimental effect on psychological health and follow-up visits of patients submitted to bariatric surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the 2-year weight loss of patients submitted to bariatric surgery in our center. METHODS This was an observational study comparing the weight loss of patients who underwent bariatric surgery from January to March 2020 with a control group submitted to surgery between January and March 2017. Percentage of total weight loss (% TWL) and excess weight loss (% EWL) were assessed 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. RESULTS A total number of 203 patients were included in this study, 102 had bariatric surgery during the selected period in 2020 and 101 underwent surgery during the same period in 2017. There was no statistically significant difference in weight loss between the 2017 and 2020 groups which was reported as % TWL (mean 27.08 ± 7.530 vs. 28.03 ± 7.074, 33.87 ± 8.507 vs. 34.07 ± 8.979 and 34.13 ± 9.340 vs. 33.98 ± 9.993; p = 0.371) and % EWL (mean 66.83 ± 23.004 vs. 69.71 ± 17.021, 83.37 ± 24.059 vs. 84.51 ± 21.640 and 83.47 ± 24.130 vs. 84.27 ± 23.651; p = 0.506) at 6, 12, and 24 months post-surgery. CONCLUSION Despite social limitations imposed by the COVID-19 lockdown, we found no significant difference between weight loss at 2 years postoperatively in the 2020 group when compared with a control group who underwent bariatric surgery in 2017. These results show that the outcomes of bariatric surgery during the COVID-19 lockdown were comparable with those recorded before the pandemic, supporting the efficacy of bariatric procedures' metabolic effects during the first 2 years after surgery, regardless of lifestyle habits.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have different presentations and prognoses. Cluster analysis based on proteomic signatures creates independent phenogroups of patients with different pathophysiological backgrounds. We aimed to identify distinct pathophysiological clusters of RA patients based on circulating proteomic biomarkers. METHOD This was a cohort study including 399 RA patients. Clustering was performed on 94 circulating proteins (92 CVDII Olink®, high-sensitivity troponin T, and C-reactive protein). Unsupervised clustering was performed using a partitioning cluster algorithm. RESULTS The clustering algorithm identified two distinct clusters: cluster 1 (n = 223) and cluster 2 (n = 176). Compared with cluster 1, cluster 2 included older patients with a higher burden of comorbidities (cardiovascular and RA related), more erosive and longer RA duration, more dyspnoea and fatigue, walking a shorter distance in the Six-Minute Walk Test, with more severe diastolic dysfunction, and a 4.5-fold higher risk of death or hospitalization for cardiovascular reasons. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily-related pathways were mainly responsible for the model's discriminative ability. CONCLUSION Using unsupervised cluster analysis based on proteomic phenotypes, we identified two clusters of RA patients with distinct biomarkers profiles, clinical characteristics, and different outcomes that could reflect different pathophysiological backgrounds. TNF receptor superfamily-related proteins may be used to distinguish subgroups.

Abstract
Pharmaceutical compounds and their metabolites are found in natural and wastewater. However, investigation of their toxic effects on aquatic animals has been neglected, especially for metabolites. This work investigated the effects of the main metabolites of carbamazepine, venlafaxine and tramadol. Zebrafish embryos were exposed (0.1-100 µg/L) for 168hpf exposures to each metabolite (carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, 10,11-dihydrocarbamazepine, O-desmethylvenlafaxine, N-desmethylvenlafaxine, O-desmethyltramadol, N-desmethyltramadol) or the parental compound. A concentration-response relationship was found for the effects of some embryonic malformations. Carbamazepine-10,11-epoxide, O-desmethylvenlafaxine and tramadol elicited the highest malformation rates. All compounds significantly decreased larvae responses on a sensorimotor assay compared to controls. Altered expression was found for most of the 32 tested genes. In particular, abcc1, abcc2, abcg2a, nrf2, pparg and raraa were found to be affected by all three drug groups. For each group, the modelled expression patterns showed differences in expression between parental compounds and metabolites. Potential biomarkers of exposure were identified for the venlafaxine and carbamazepine groups. These results are worrying, indicating that such contamination in aquatic systems may put natural populations at significant risk. Furthermore, metabolites represent a real risk that needs more scrutinising by the scientific community.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the impact of modern glucose-monitoring strategies on glycemic and patient-related outcomes in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and recent myocardial infarction (MI) and assess cost effectiveness. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS LIBERATES was a multicenter two-arm randomized trial comparing self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) with intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM), also known as flash CGM, in individuals with T2D and recent MI, treated with insulin and/or a sulphonylurea before hospital admission. The primary outcome measure was time in range (TIR) (glucose 3.9-10 mmol/L/day) on days 76-90 post-randomization. Secondary and exploratory outcomes included time in hypoglycemia, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), clinical outcome, quality of life (QOL), and cost effectiveness. RESULTS Of 141 participants randomly assigned (median age 63 years; interquartile range 53, 70), 73% of whom were men, isCGM was associated with increased TIR by 17 min/day (95% credible interval -105 to +153 min/day), with 59% probability of benefit. Users of isCGM showed lower hypoglycemic exposure (<3.9 mmol/L) at days 76-90 (-80 min/day; 95% CI -118, -43), also evident at days 16-30 (-28 min/day; 95% CI -92, 2). Compared with baseline, HbA1c showed similar reductions of 7 mmol/mol at 3 months in both study arms. Combined glycemic emergencies and mortality occurred in four isCGM and seven SMBG study participants. QOL measures marginally favored isCGM, and the intervention proved to be cost effective. CONCLUSIONS Compared with SMBG, isCGM in T2D individuals with MI marginally increases TIR and significantly reduces hypoglycemic exposure while equally improving HbA1c, explaining its cost effectiveness. Studies are required to understand whether these glycemic differences translate into longer-term clinical benefit.

Abstract
Non-Saccharomyces yeasts represent a very appealing alternative to producing beers with zero or low ethanol content. The current study explores the potential of seven non-Saccharomyces yeasts to produce low-alcohol or non-alcoholic beer, in addition to engineered/selected Saccharomyces yeasts for low-alcohol production. The yeasts were first screened for their sugar consumption and ethanol production profiles, leading to the selection of strains with absent or inefficient maltose consumption and consequently with low-to-null ethanol production. The selected yeasts were then used in larger-scale fermentations for volatile and sensory evaluation. Overall, the yeasts produced beers with ethanol concentrations below 1.2% in which fusel alcohols and esters were also detected, making them eligible to produce low-alcohol beers. Among the lager beers produced in this study, beers produced using Saccharomyces yeast demonstrated a higher acceptance by taster panelists. This study demonstrates the suitability of non-conventional yeasts for producing low-alcohol or non-alcoholic beers and opens perspectives for the development of non-conventional beers.

Abstract
Myxosporeans are widespread cnidarian parasites that usually parasitize fish as part of their complex life cycle, thus constituting a potential threat for the aquaculture industry. White seabream Diplodus sargus (L.) is a commercially valuable sparid fish reared in Southern European aquacultures. Nonetheless, knowledge on myxosporean infections potentially harming the sustainable production of this fish is extremely limited. In this study, a myxosporean survey was conducted on D. sargus specimens reared in two Southern Portuguese fish farms. Two coelozoic myxosporeans were detected infecting the gall bladder, and are herein reported based on microscopic and molecular procedures: Ceratomyxa sargus n. sp. and Zschokkella auratis Rocha et al., 2013, previously described from reared stocks of gilthead seabream Sparus aurata in the same geographic locality. Ceratomyxa sargus n. sp. is the 12th species of the genus to be reported from Southern European sparids, reinforcing a substantial radiation of Ceratomyxa within this fish family and geographic region. SSU rRNA-based Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analyses revealed C. sargus n. sp. positioned separately from other sparid-infecting Ceratomyxa spp. reported from Southern European countries, demonstrating that this species does not share a more immediate common ancestor with its closest relatives based on host affinity and geography. The recognition of a novel sparid-infecting lineage within the Ceratomyxa clade strengthens the contention that this genus entered sparid fish multiple times, namely in the Southern European region. The identification of Zschokkella auratis infections in D. sargus demonstrates that host shift has occurred among sparids reared in the Southern Portuguese coast. This agrees with the broad host specificity that is usually attributed to this genus, and that may be suggested to be the outcome of the capacity of the Zschokkella morphotype to undergo host shift/switch based on our findings and the limited molecular data available for this genus. Thus, a better understanding of Zschokkella host-associated diversification and dispersal mechanisms requires the increasing availability of molecular data from infections of the same species occurring in multiple hosts and geographical locations.

Abstract
Whipple's disease (WD) is a rare multisystemic infectious disease caused by Tropheryma whipplei. The pathogenesis of Whipple's disease remains unknown and clinical experience relies solely on various case reports published in the literature. The disease may occur at any age, with most studies describing patients in their fifth decade. Classic WD mainly affects the gastrointestinal tract, but extraintestinal commitment can occur, with the most common manifestations being arthralgias, lymphadenopathy, fever, and neurological symptoms. We present a case of a 69-year-old woman who presented with fever, macular rash, abdominal pain, lymphadenopathy, pleural and pericardial effusion, weight loss, and severely altered mental status over seven days. Initial workup tests only revealed leucopenia, thrombocytopenia, and hyperferritinemia. Since the fever persisted despite antibiotic treatment, an extensive workup was required until the final diagnosis of classic WD through histological examination of duodenal biopsies. Treatment with ceftriaxone was implemented for two weeks, followed by trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 160/800mg bid for 12 months. The patient presented full recovery and no recurrence after three years of follow-up. Even though WD was first described more than a century ago, WD is an elusive disease with a wide variety of clinical findings, leading to a still significant delay in diagnosis. WD should be considered in the differential diagnosis of rheumatologic disorders, chronic abdominal pain or diarrhea, neurological manifestations not suggestive of any other specific disease, non-caseating granulomatous diseases, and cases of lymphadenopathies. The authors aim to add additional clinical data and raise awareness for a rare condition that can be lethal if not timely treated. More studies and recommendations are needed concerning screening patients and treatment, with an urgent need to improve the delay in diagnosis.

Abstract
Objectives We evaluated the contribution of lung lesion quantification on chest CT using a clinical Artificial Intelligence (AI) software in predicting death and intensive care units (ICU) admission for COVID-19 patients. Methods For 349 patients with positive COVID-19-PCR test that underwent a chest CT scan at admittance or during hospitalization, we applied the AI for lung and lung lesion segmentation to obtain lesion volume (LV), and LV/Total Lung Volume (TLV) ratio. ROC analysis was used to extract the best CT criterion in predicting death and ICU admission. Two prognostic models using multivariate logistic regressions were constructed to predict each outcome and were compared using AUC values. The first model ("Clinical") was based on patients' characteristics and clinical symptoms only. The second model ("Clinical+LV/TLV") included also the best CT criterion. Results LV/TLV ratio demonstrated best performance for both outcomes; AUC of 67.8% (95% CI: 59.5 - 76.1) and 81.1% (95% CI: 75.7 - 86.5) respectively. Regarding death prediction, AUC values were 76.2% (95% CI: 69.9 - 82.6) and 79.9% (95%IC: 74.4 - 85.5) for the "Clinical" and the "Clinical+LV/TLV" models respectively, showing significant performance increase (+ 3.7%; p-value<0.001) when adding LV/TLV ratio. Similarly, for ICU admission prediction, AUC values were 74.9% (IC 95%: 69.2 - 80.6) and 84.8% (IC 95%: 80.4 - 89.2) respectively corresponding to significant performance increase (+ 10%: p-value<0.001). Conclusions Using a clinical AI software to quantify the COVID-19 lung involvement on chest CT, combined with clinical variables, allows better prediction of death and ICU admission.

Abstract
Similar to other South American regions, Tierra del Fuego has an admixed population characterized by distinct ancestors: Native Americans who first occupied the continent, European settlers who arrived from the late 15th century onwards, and Sub-Saharan Africans who were brought to the Americas for slave labor. To disclose the paternal lineages in the current population from Tierra del Fuego, 196 unrelated males were genotyped for 23 Y-STRs and 52 Y-SNPs. Haplotype and haplogroup diversities were high, indicating the absence of strong founder or drift events. A high frequency of Eurasian haplogroups was detected (94.4%), followed by Native American (5.1%) and African (0.5%) ones. The haplogroup R was the most abundant (48.5%), with the sub-haplogroup R-S116* taking up a quarter of the total dataset. Comparative analyses with other Latin American populations showed similarities with other admixed populations from Argentina. Regarding Eurasian populations, Tierra del Fuego presented similarities with Italian and Iberian populations. In an in-depth analysis of the haplogroup R-M269 and its subtypes, Tierra del Fuego displayed a close proximity to the Iberian Peninsula. The results from this study are in line with the historical records and reflect the severe demographic change led mainly by male newcomers with paternal European origin.

Abstract
Lack of timeliness and capacity are seen as fundamental problems that jeopardise healthcare delivery systems everywhere. Many believe the shortage of medical providers is causing this timeliness problem. This action research presents how one doctor implemented the theory of constraints (TOC) to improve the throughput (quantity of patients treated) of his ophthalmology imaging practice by 64% in a few weeks with little to no expense. The five focusing steps (5FS) guided the TOC implementation - which included the drum-buffer-rope scheduling and buffer management - and occurred in a matter of days. The implementation provided significant bottom-line results almost immediately. This article explains each step of the 5FS in general terms followed by specific applications to healthcare services, as well as the detailed use in this action research. Although TOC successfully addressed the practice problems, this implementation was not sustained after the TOC champion left the organisation. However, this drawback provided valuable knowledge. The article provides insightful knowledge to help readers implement TOC in their environments to provide immediate and significant results at little to no expense.

Abstract
Hepatocellular Adenomas (HA) are rare benign tumors of the liver which occur predominantly in young women. Although benign, HA may have complications such as hemorrhage and malignant transformation. So, sometimes conservative management is not enough. We report a case of a 26-year-old woman on oral contraceptives who presented with acute abdominal pain and signs of hemodynamic shock. She underwent transarterial embolization due to the presence of multiple HA with rupture and active hemorrhage. This minimally invasive treatment failed to control the disease. The patient presented a progressive increase in the size of the masses with signs of recent hemorrhage, and the HA became unresectable, so she underwent liver transplantation. Liver transplantation is rarely indicated for the treatment of HA; however, in unresectable masses, it should be considered to prevent potential rupture with hemorrhage or malignant transformation.

Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) and pollen interaction, either airborne or at the respiratory mucosa needs further clarification, as allergic reaction intensification can be related to the PM physical characteristics and toxicity. This study aimed to investigate the physical-chemical properties of PM that can adhere to the pollen wall during its transport or inhalation, using Quercus spp. as a model, in three Portuguese cities with different geographical locations, meteorological influence and urbanization levels. Possible sources were evaluated through air masses trajectory analysis using the HYSPLIT model and correlation with meteorological factors. The sampling was performed using a 7-days Hirst-type volumetric sampler, and the pollen grains were observed using a Field Emission Electron Probe Microanalyser for PM analysis. A secondary electron image of each pollen grain was taken, to determine the adhered particles characteristics and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) spectra were obtained for individual particles. A total of 484 pollen grains was observed, with 7683 particles counted and 1914 EDS spectra analyzed. The particle's equivalent diameter ranged from 0.3-16 μm, with most having a diameter < 3 μm. For the three cities, there were significant differences in the number of particles per pollen and the % area occupied by the particles. Particles adhered were mainly Si-rich, but variations in other dominant groups were observed. For Évora and Guarda, Ca-rich, SO-rich were second and third more representative, while Porto were Organic and Cl-rich. Metals&Oxides were found in all cities with the highest number in Porto. P-rich particles were only found in Évora. Sea salt particles were observed in Évora, coincide with air mass trajectories possible carrying them from the Mediterranean Sea. In conclusion, the PM physical characteristics are similar between the studied cities, however, the dominant chemical composition is different, certainly impacting the exposome influence and pollen-allergy intensification towards the same pollen type and concentration.

Abstract
DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. ProtoDUNE Dual Phase (DP) is a 6 × 6 × 6 m 3 liquid argon time-projection-chamber (LArTPC) that recorded cosmic-muon data at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2019-2020 as a prototype of the DUNE Far Detector. Charged particles propagating through the LArTPC produce ionization and scintillation light. The scintillation light signal in these detectors can provide the trigger for non-beam events. In addition, it adds precise timing capabilities and improves the calorimetry measurements. In ProtoDUNE-DP, scintillation and electroluminescence light produced by cosmic muons in the LArTPC is collected by photomultiplier tubes placed up to 7 m away from the ionizing track. In this paper, the ProtoDUNE-DP photon detection system performance is evaluated with a particular focus on the different wavelength shifters, such as PEN and TPB, and the use of Xe-doped LAr, considering its future use in giant LArTPCs. The scintillation light production and propagation processes are analyzed and a comparison of simulation to data is performed, improving understanding of the liquid argon properties.

Abstract
STATEMENT Enrichment analysis of cell transcriptional responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection from biclustering solutions yields broader coverage and superior enrichment of GO terms and KEGG pathways against alternative state-of-the-art machine learning solutions, thus aiding knowledge extraction. MOTIVATION AND METHODS The comprehensive understanding of the impacts of SARS-CoV-2 virus on infected cells is still incomplete. This work aims at comparing the role of state-of-the-art machine learning approaches in the study of cell regulatory processes affected and induced by the SARS-CoV-2 virus using transcriptomic data from both infectable cell lines available in public databases and in vivo samples. In particular, we assess the relevance of clustering, biclustering and predictive modeling methods for functional enrichment. Statistical principles to handle scarcity of observations, high data dimensionality, and complex gene interactions are further discussed. In particular, and without loos of generalization ability, the proposed methods are applied to study the differential regulatory response of lung cell lines to SARS-CoV-2 (α-variant) against RSV, IAV (H1N1), and HPIV3 viruses. RESULTS Gathered results show that, although clustering and predictive algorithms aid classic stances to functional enrichment analysis, more recent pattern-based biclustering algorithms significantly improve the number and quality of enriched GO terms and KEGG pathways with controlled false positive risks. Additionally, a comparative analysis of these results is performed to identify potential pathophysiological characteristics of COVID-19. These are further compared to those identified by other authors for the same virus as well as related ones such as SARS-CoV-1. The findings are particularly relevant given the lack of other works utilizing more complex machine learning algorithms within this context.

Abstract
Antibiotics are often applied in aquaculture to prevent fish diseases. These substances can cause disturbances on receiving waters, when not properly eliminated from the aquaculture effluents. In this work, ozone (O3) was investigated as a possible oxidizing agent to remove fishery antibiotics from aquaculture effluents: florfenicol (FF), oxytetracycline (OTC), sulfadimethoxine (SDM), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), and trimethoprim (TMP). Batch experiments were performed using ultrapure water and aquaculture effluents spiked with a mixture of target antibiotics at relatively high concentrations (10 mg L-1 each). OTC, SMX and TMP were fully removed (< 30 min) regardless of the tested conditions, mainly by O3 direct attack. In contrast, FF was partially removed in 30 min (∼ 10 and 60%, in aquaculture effluents and ultrapure water, respectively), but only in the presence of hydroxyl radicals (HO•), the FF concentrations reaching levels below the detection limits in ultrapure water after 60 min. In the case of SDM, its degradation was highly influenced by the selected water matrix, but with removals always higher than 68%. In continuous-flow experiments applying more environmentally relevant antibiotic concentrations (100 ng L-1 each) and low O3 doses (1.5 mg L-1), ozonation highly removed (> 98%) all tested antibiotics from aquaculture effluents with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 10 min, except FF (68%). Although by-products were detected in treated samples, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryotoxicity tests did not show a toxicity increase by applying this ozonation treatment. Ozonation is thus a possible solution to remove antibiotics from aquaculture effluents. Still, full-scale studies in aquaculture farms are needed, and generation of HO• may be favoured to readily oxidize the FF antibiotic.

Abstract
Introduction Acute mania can have behavioral effects such as agitation, being a frequent cause of presentation in the emergency department. Pharmacological treatments include mood stabilizers and atypical antipsychotics. Valproate is an effective drug. However, the intravenous formulation is relegated to other pathologies, such as epilepsy. Objectives The objective was to review the use of intravenous valproate in acute mania in the literature and present its use through a clinical case. Methods A clinical case using intravenous valproate to treat an episode of acute mania is described and the scientific literature of the last 5 years is reviewed. Results
A 43-year-old patient attended the emergency department with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder type I in manic episode with agitation, rejection of oral medication, brought in by the police due to risk of aggression against family members, who reported that the patient had stopped taking her usual medication with valproate 500 mg / 24h and quetiapine 200 mg / 24h threemonths ago. Due to the possibility of having intravenous valproate, it was decided to administer 300 mg intravenously, as well as haloperidol 5 mg intravenously, and hospitalization was decided. The patient had a favorable evolution, with no side effects to the medication, and oral treatment was started after 8 hours, with a good response. In the literature there are few studies in this regard, although the most of them approved the use of valproate as a loading dose in acute mania. Conclusions Intravenous valproate is an effective, safe, and tolerated treatment in acute mania. More studies are needed to collect precise information. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental preclinical training has been traditionally centered onverbal instructions and subsequent execution on phantom heads and plastic training models. However, these present present limitations. Virtual Reality (VR) and haptic simulators have been proposed with promising results and advantages and have showed usefullness in the preclinical training environment. We designed DENTIFY, a multimodal immersive simulator to assist Operative Dentistry learning, which exposes the user to different virtual clinical scenarios while operating a haptic pen to simulate dental drilling. OBJECTIVE The main objective is to assess DENTIFY's usability, acceptance, and educational usefulness to dentists, in order to make the proper changes and, subsequently, to test DENTIFY with undergraduate preclinical dental students. METHODS DENTIFY combines an immersive head mounted VR display, a haptic pen in which the pen itself has been replaced by a 3D printed model of a dental turbine and a controller with buttons to adjust and select the scenario of the simulation, along with 3D sounds of real dental drilling. The user's dominant hand operated the virtual turbine on the VR-created scenario, while the non-dominant hand is used to activate the simulator and case selection. The simulation sessions occurred in a controlled virtual environment. We evaluated DENTIFY's usability and acceptance over the course of 13 training sessions with dental professionals, after the users performed a drilling task in virtual dental tissues. RESULTS The conducted user acceptance indicates that DENTIFY shows potencial enhancing learning in operative dentistry as it promotes self-evaluation and multimodal immersion on the dental drilling experience. CONCLUSIONS DENTIFY presented significant usability and acceptance from trained dentists. This tool showed to have teaching and learning (hence, pedagogical) potential in operative dentistry.

Abstract
Introduction Loneliness and social isolation condition the health of those over 65 years of age, increasing morbidity and mortality. The pandemic caused by Covid-19 has been a health emergency in which the negative effects have been increased by loneliness. We can define several types of loneliness: physical loneliness, moral loneliness and social isolation. Objectives The objective was to analyze the impact of Covid-19 on the feeling of loneliness in those over 65 years of age during the last year of the pandemic. Methods A bibliographic search was carried out in Pubmed with the terms “loneliness in elderly in the covid-19 pandemic” with the filters “abstract” and “in the last 1 year”, selecting the studies whose title included the terms “loneliness”, “elderly” or “older people” and “Covid-19 ” or “SARS-Cov-2”. The search gave rise to 13 results, of which the content of the abstracts was qualitatively analyzed. Results All studies found an increase in loneliness in the elderly, and more than 50% reported a decrease in this feeling in the elderly trained in new technologies. Other aspects that stood out to influence were comorbidity, resilience, economic situation, social support and subjective feeling of vulnerability. Conclusions Older adults avoid direct social contact to protect themselves. This may result in loneliness, that can have serious consequences in terms of morbidity and mortality. To mitigate loneliness they can use online social media, but older adults need to be trained. Institutions and public powers have the obligation to ensure individual and collective security, and protect the integrity of people from dangers. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Falls are a public health problem that cause serious damage to people’s health and health systems. This study aims to estimate the validity and reliability of the Memorial Emergency Department Fall Risk Assessment Tool for the European Portuguese population. The sample included 186 adults from an emergency department of a District Hospital in Portugal. Reliability and precision (inter-rater reliability) are assessed by two independent raters. The relationship between MEDFRAT and the Morse Fall Risk Scale is evaluated. All items presented a high Kappa index. The MEDFRAT showed a high and significant correlation with the Morse Fall Risk Scale. The influence of sociodemographic and clinical data was also checked. The MEDFRAT is adequate, valid and reliable for the European Portuguese population to assess the risk of falling of emergency department patients.

Abstract
Cryptococcal meningoencephalitis (CM) remains a common cause of central nervous system infections. Patients usually present with headache, fever, malaise, and altered mental status over several weeks. Signs are often absent, but they may include meningism, papilledema, cranial nerve palsies, and depressed level of consciousness. Individuals with CM can occasionally present with small vessel vasculitis causing cerebral lesions. The literature regarding patterns of cerebrovascular injury in CM is scarce. We describe a case of CM in which an unusual presentation was observed: transient focal neurological symptoms initially with absence of fever that led to a misleading primary diagnosis of transient ischemic attack. Since neurological symptoms may be a manifestation of a cryptococcal infection, it is necessary to have a high degree of suspicion for this pathology in the presence of focal neurological deficits, even in patients with vascular risk factors, requiring a thorough etiological investigation.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Bone scintigraphy using radioactive technetium-99m and 3,3-diphosphono-1,2-propanodicarboxylic acid (DPD) has been increasingly used to diagnose myocardial involvement of mutated or wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR).
However, most studies that proved a high sensitivity and specificity of the technique were not in patients with the “Portuguese variant” (Val30Met) mutation in transthyretin (TTR). Other authors had already suggested that in these patients the DPD scan could be less accurate.
Methods
Observational study of patients referred to Cardiology clinic with suspicion of ATTR cardiomyopathy. We only included patients with data from echocardiogram and DPD scan.
For statistical analyses, SPSS was used, p<0.05 for statistical significance. Logistic regressions were used to test an association between DPD result and different covariates.
Results
Of 273 patients referred with suspicion of cardiac ATTR, we studied 97 patients that did an echocardiogram and a DPD scan.
Among the 75 cases with mutated TTR (Val30Met), median age was 36 (IQR 34) and 60% were males. 60 had increased ventricular wall thickness (IVWT) >12 mm, but only 24 had a positive DPD (defined as a visual score >2). Even though a higher wall thickness was associated with a positive DPD (p=0.004), 18 patients with a negative scan had IVWT >14 mm. The DPD results was significantly associated with prior liver transplantation (LT) – p<0.001; 95% CI (7.1; 503.6) – and age at first symptoms – p<0.001; 95% CI (1.036; 1.113); 66.7±10.5 versus 34.8±10.2 years-old for those with and without a positive scan, respectively. Interestingly, fewer patients with a positive scan had neurologic symptoms (74% versus 96%, p=0.009), ophthalmologic, urologic or renal involvement, even though creatinine clearance was on average lower (p=0.01). We did not find a significant association between DPD result and sex, conduction disorders, NT-proBNP, troponin T or treatment with tafamidis. Patients on tafamidis had on average lower IVWT, independent of age (median of 13 versus 14 mm; p=0.020). 4 patients with negative DPD did an endomyocardial biopsy, that was positive for amyloid in 3 cases.
In comparison, in the 22 cases with wild-type TTR, there were significantly more males (86%) and patients were older (median age was 81 (IQR 9)). All patients had IVWT (that was significantly higher than in mutated ATTR) and DPD scan was negative in only 2 patients (that had a visual score of 1). Systolic dysfunction was significantly more frequent (59% versus 8%). The occurrence of death or hospitalization for heart failure was significantly higher.
Conclusions
DPD-scintigraphy seems more sensitive in patients with late onset mutated ATTR or with wild-type ATTR. It is less accurate in early onset patients with Val30Met mutation and particularly if they underwent LT. In those patients, further investigation is needed before excluding myocardial involvement.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
The prevalence of orthostatic hypotension (OH) in patients with mutated transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis (mATTR) is 40–60%. According to previous studies, OH is frequent and an early feature in patients with Val30Met mutation (the most prevalent form of mATTR).
Aim
To characterize TTR Val30Met patients with OH and to identify clinical characteristics associated with OH development.
Methods
Retrospective study of consecutive Val30Met TTR patients with suspected cardiac involvement observed at our cardiology clinic during 2019. Two groups were defined: group 1: patients without OH; group 2: patients with OH. Data was obtained by chart review. Statistically significant predictors of OH were found using logistic regression.
Results
We included a total of 248 patients (group 1 – 173; group 2 – 75). Group 1 patients were 52% male, median age 45 [interquartile range (IQR) 39–55] and median age at onset 34 (IQR 29,75–46,25) years. Left ventricle hypertrophy [LVH, defined as maximal LV wall thickness (LVT) ≥12 mm] occurred in 26,5%, with median maximal LVT 10 mm (IQR 9–12); 49,7% had conduction disturbances, 30,6% gastrointestinal (GI), 17,3% genitourinary (GU) manifestations and 5% were in Coutinho staging ≥2/3. Group 2 had 56% male, median age of 49 years at evaluation (IQR 42–65) and 35 years at onset (IQR 30–59). LVH was present in 42,9%, with median maximal LVT 11 mm (IQR 10–14); 74,7% had conduction disturbances, 56% GI and 42,7% GU manifestations and 21% were in Coutinho staging ≥2/3.
In univariate analysis, higher age (p=0,005), presence of LVH (p=0,009), conduction disturbances (p<0,001), GU manifestations (p<0,001) and higher Coutinho staging (p<0,001) were all associated with the presence of OH, while age at onset was not (p=0,648). In multivariate analysis, only Coutinho staging [odds ratio (OR) 2.609; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.344–5.065] and GU manifestations (OR 3,151; 95% CI 1,595–6,225) were found to be significant predictors of OH.
Conclusion
Our study suggests that OH is more associated with GU manifestations and Neurologic staging, than with amyloid cardiomyopathy or age, suggesting a predominant neurogenic component. The prevalence of OH in our sample of Val30Met patients was lower than previously described.

Abstract
The main purpose of this research paper is to understand how artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to human behaviour has been treated, both theoretically and empirically, over the last twenty years, regarding predictive analytics and human organizational behaviour analysis. To achieve this goal, the authors performed a systematic literature review, as proposed by Tranfield, Denyer and Smart (2003), on selected databases and followed the PRISMA framework (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses). The method is particularly suited for assessing emerging trends within multiple disciplines and therefore deemed the most suitable method for the purposes of this paper, which intends to survey and select papers according to their contribute towards theory building. By mapping what is known, this review will lay the groundwork, providing a timely insight into the current state of research on human organisational behaviour and its applications. A total of 17795 papers resulted from the application of the search equations. The papers’ abstracts were screened according to the inclusion / exclusion criterions which resulted in 199 papers for analysis. The authors have analysed the papers through VOSviewer software and R programming statistical computing software. This review showed that 60% of the research undertaken in the field has been done in the last three and a half years and there is no prominent author or academic journal, showing the emergence and the novelty of this research.

Abstract
This study aimed at assessing the effects of the dietary tryptophan (Trp) supplementation on growth and feed utilization, brain serotonin content, and expression of selected liver genes (involved in the liver serotonin pathway, protein synthesis degradation, and antioxidant activity) in zebrafish. A growth trial was conducted with zebrafish juveniles fed five experimental isoproteic (40%DM) and isolipidic (8%DM) fishmeal-based diets containing graded levels of Trp: a Trp-non-supplemented diet (diet Trp0, with 0.22% Trp) and four Trp-supplemented diets containing 2-16 times higher Trp content (diets Trp2, Trp4, Trp8, and Trp16 with 0.40, 0.91, 2.02, and 3.34% Trp, respectively). Diets were tested in quadruplicate, with fish being fed twice a day, 6 days a week for 6 weeks to apparent visual satiation. At the end of the trial, growth performance and feed utilization were assessed, and fish from all experimental groups were sampled for whole-body composition analysis. In addition, fish fed low (Trp0), medium (Trp4), and high (Trp16) Trp diets were also sampled for analysis of brain serotonin content and liver gene expression. Tested tryptophan levels did not influence growth performance nor feed intake. However, values of energy and nitrogen retention as well as body energy content indicate a better feed utilization with diets containing around 0.9% and 2.0% DM Trp. Brain serotonin content increased with increasing dietary tryptophan levels. In addition, regarding liver genes, dietary treatment had a modulatory effect on the expression of Htr1aa and Htr2cl1 genes (encoding for serotonin receptors), TPH1a gene (encoding for tryptophan hydroxylase, the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of serotonin from tryptophan), TOR gene (involved in protein synthesis), and Keap1 gene (involved in antioxidant responses).

Abstract
The specificity and implementation of current MRI-based diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis (MS) are imperfect. Approximately 1 in 5 of individuals diagnosed with MS are eventually determined not to have the disease, with overreliance on MRI findings a major cause of MS misdiagnosis. The central vein sign (CVS), a proposed MRI biomarker for MS lesions, has been extensively studied in numerous cross sectional studies and may increase diagnostic specificity for MS. CVS has desirable analytical, measurement, and scalability properties. "Central Vein Sign: A Diagnostic Biomarker in Multiple Sclerosis (CAVS-MS)" is an NIH-supported, 2-year, prospective, international, multicenter study conducted by the North American Imaging in MS Cooperative (NAIMS) to evaluate CVS as a diagnostic biomarker for immediate translation into clinical care. Study objectives include determining the concordance of CVS and McDonald Criteria to diagnose MS, the sensitivity of CVS to detect MS in those with typical presentations, and the specificity of CVS among those with atypical presentations. The study will recruit a total of 400 participants (200 with typical and 200 with atypical presentations) across 11 sites. T2*-weighted, high-isotropic-resolution, segmented echo-planar MRI will be acquired at baseline and 24 months on 3-tesla scanners, and FLAIR* images (combination of FLAIR and T2*) will be generated for evaluating CVS. Data will be processed on a cloud-based platform that contains clinical and CVS rating modules. Imaging quality control will be conducted by automated methods and neuroradiologist review. CVS will be determined by Select6* and Select3* lesion methods following published criteria at each site and by central readers, including neurologists and neuroradiologists. Automated CVS detection and algorithms for incorporation of CVS into McDonald Criteria will be tested. Diagnosis will be adjudicated by three neurologists who served on the 2017 International Panel on the Diagnosis of MS. The CAVS-MS study aims to definitively establish CVS as a diagnostic biomarker that can be applied broadly to individuals presenting for evaluation of the diagnosis of MS.

Abstract
Abstract
Study question
Which are the main factors on first oocyte retrievals influencing the time to achieve a live birth?
Summary answer
The number of oocytes collected on the first retrieval is the most important factor to decrease time to live birth.
What is known already
The goal of infertile couples when they attend a fertility clinic is to obtain a healthy baby as soon as possible. Cumulative live birth rate is today considered the most reliable estimate of ART success. However, the time used to achieve such goal is still not clear both to health professionals and patients. Although there is a general idea of which factors predict ART success, both clinicians and embryologists are still not aware of which variables can effectively influence the time to a live birth.
Study design, size, duration
We analyzed retrospectively 333 couples who performed their first fresh IVF/ICSI cycles from January 2015 to December 2018, along with their eventual subsequent FET and/or IVF/ICSI cycles, leading to 146 live births. The aim of this study was to use “Time” as an additional measure of ART success, and to identify which variable of the first oocyte retrieval has a major influence on time to live birth.
Participants/materials, setting, methods
We included in total 430 oocyte retrievals and 147 FET cycles. Oocyte donation cycles were excluded. Data were studied cumulatively until the childbirth (couples at risk) or until the last treatment record (censored couples). Cox Regression Model for survival analysis was used to study the variables that may influence the time to live birth, in order to take both confounding and collinearity into account.
Main results and the role of chance
We considered the date of the first oocyte retrieval as the starting point and the date of the first childbirth as the ending point to determine the time to live birth. The mean age of the woman at the first oocyte retrieval was 36.8±4.67, the cumulative pregnancy rate 43.5% (95%CI:41.77%;45.23%) and the live birth rate 34.0%(95%CI:32.32%;35.63%).
As variables for the Cox Regression Model we selected the woman’s age and number of collected oocytes from the first oocyte retrieval. We also considered the number of frozen embryo transfers (FET).
We have found a positive association between the number of oocytes collected at the first oocyte retrieval and the period until obtaining a healthy singleton (HR = 1.20;95%CI:1.105–1.297;p>0.001). Conversely, a negative association concerning the number of FET and time to live birth (HR = 0.32;95%CI:0.18–0.562;p>0.001) was demonstrated. Importantly, woman’s age, was not found to have a significant effect on time to live birth.
Our results indicated that the number of oocytes collected at the first cycle, but not woman’s age, mostly affect time to live birth. Poor prognosis patients were found to be associated with several embryo transfers.
Limitations, reasons for caution
This is a retrospective study with a small number of cycles and freeze-all procedures were not included. Additional inclusion of freeze-all procedures in a larger study will be needed to confirm our preliminary results.
Wider implications of the findings: This study identified oocyte number at first collection as a major influence on time to live birth. Increased attention to the “Time” parameter will be helpful for health professionals and patients, to further personalize reproductive treatment procedures, potentially decreasing psychological burdens associated with ART treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A previous equivalence randomised trial indicated that Telephone-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (T-CBT) was not inferior to Treatment as Usual CBT (TAU-CBT) delivered face to face in terms of psychological benefit with both groups showing post-therapy improvements compared to pre-therapy baseline. The aim here is to clarify costs and benefits through an economic evaluation of the two therapy models. METHOD The cost-effectiveness analysis (cost per quality-adjusted life year [QALY]) was derived from a single-centre (UK-based), two-arm randomised control trial. Data from 78 patients were available for the main analysis, which includes both an NHS cost perspective and a societal perspective which includes the cost of time off work and any additional private care. Sensitivity analyses were undertaken, which included patients only completing the four core therapy sessions (46 patients) and considering only patients taking both core and the additional therapy sessions which were optional (32 patients). RESULTS The base-case analysis, adopting an NHS perspective, showed that T-CBT was associated with an incremental cost of £50 (95% CI: -£759 to £989) and a 0.03 QALY (95% CI: -0.09 to 0.03) decrement per patient when compared to TAU-CBT. The analysis adopting a societal perspective yielded similar results, with T-CBT providing an incremental cost of £171 (95% CI: -£769 to £1112) and a 0.03 QALY (95% CI: -0.08 to 0.03) decrement per patient in comparison to TAU-CBT. The first sensitivity analysis, considering patients only taking the core therapy sessions, showed that T-CBT provided an incremental cost of £100 (95% CI: -£945 to £1247) and yielded a decrement of 0.01 QALY (95% CI: -0.03 to 0.01) per patient compared to TAU-CBT. The second sensitivity analysis, which focused solely on patients who also underwent optional sessions, showed that T-CBT was associated with an incremental cost of £17 (95% CI: -£1307 to £1454) and a 0.04 QALY (95% CI: -0.11 to 0.03) decrement per patient when compared to TAU-CBT. CONCLUSIONS Based on this single trial, T-CBT is not cost-effective as a therapy option for cancer patients with high psychological needs when compared to TAU-CBT.

Abstract
Small bowel adenocarcinomas are rare malignant tumors that account for less than 2% of gastrointestinal tumors. Despite a thorough history, physical examination and complete diagnostic workup, the correct diagnosis of small intestinal neoplasm has been established preoperatively in only 50% of cases. Due to the rarity of this disease, there are very few established guidelines for its management and it has been primarily treated the same way as colorectal cancer, even though patient’s prognostic outcome is worse. With new guidelines in 2020, we review a clinical case of a 64-year-old male patient with adenocarcinoma of the jejunum treated in our institution.

Abstract
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be a powerful tool for a variety of physics topics. The high-intensity proton beams provide a large neutrino flux, sampled by a near detector system consisting of a combination of capable precision detectors, and by the massive far detector system located deep underground. This configuration sets up DUNE as a machine for discovery, as it enables opportunities not only to perform precision neutrino measurements that may uncover deviations from the present three-flavor mixing paradigm, but also to discover new particles and unveil new interactions and symmetries beyond those predicted in the Standard Model (SM). Of the many potential beyond the Standard Model (BSM) topics DUNE will probe, this paper presents a selection of studies quantifying DUNE's sensitivities to sterile neutrino mixing, heavy neutral leptons, non-standard interactions, CPT symmetry violation, Lorentz invariance violation, neutrino trident production, dark matter from both beam induced and cosmogenic sources, baryon number violation, and other new physics topics that complement those at high-energy colliders and significantly extend the present reach.

Abstract
Animal production and health are of significant economic importance, particularly regarding the world food supply. Animal and veterinary sciences have evolved immensely in the past six decades, particularly in genetics, nutrition, housing, management and health. To address major challenges such as those posed by climate change or metabolic disorders, it is of utmost importance to use state-of-the-art research tools. Proteomics and the other post-genomic tools (transcriptomics or metabolomics) are among them. Proteomics has experienced a considerable development over the last decades. This brought developments to different scientific fields. The use and adoption of proteomics tools in animal and veterinary sciences has some limitations (database availability or access to proteomics platforms and funding). As a result, proteomics' use by animal science researchers varies across the globe. In this viewpoint article, we focus on the developments of domestic animal proteomics over the last decade in different regions of the globe and how the researchers have coped with such challenges. In the second part of the article, we provide examples of funding, educational and laboratory establishment initiatives designed to foster the development of (animal-based) proteomics. International scientific collaboration is a definitive and key feature in the development and advancement of domestic animal proteomics. SIGNIFICANCE: Animal production and health are very important for food supply worldwide particularly as a source of proteinaceous foods. Animal and veterinary sciences have evolved immensely in the last decades. In order to address the major contemporary challenges facing animal and veterinary sciences, it is of utmost importance to use state-of-the-art research tools such as Proteomics and other Omics. Herein, we focus on the major developments in domestic animal proteomics worldwide during the last decade and how different regions of the world have used the technology in this specific research field. We address also major international efforts aiming to increase the research output in this area and highlight the importance of international cooperation to address specific problems inherent to domestic animal proteomics.

Abstract
IntroductionOlfactory hallucinations have been described since the 19th century as a particular, often unpleasant smell at the beginning or during the spell. The olfactory cortex are involved in temporal lobe epilepsy.ObjectivesThe aim was analyze the relationship between the olfactory hallucinations and the previus diagnosis of epilepsy.MethodsIn this study, we present a clinical case and review the current literature showing the relationship between smell and epilepsy.ResultsA 69-years-old woman, with a medical history of epilepsy, went to the emergency department describing a recent episode of seizure, self-limited in time, after a sensation of an unpleasant smell in bed. A medical history of osteoarthritis, cholecystectomy and essential tremor is described. No unknown drug allergies. The neurological examination shows dysarthric speech, tremor in the right upper limb, isochoric and reactive pupils, preserved sensitivity and strength, and a positive Romber’s sign. The physical examination, blood test and vital signs were normal. The head CT scan showed signs of ischemic leukoencephalopathy, without acute ischemic or hemorrhagic lesions. The patient was medicated with 1000 mg of valproate daily, which was suspended a month ago due to an alteration in liver transaminases. Treatment with diazepam 10 mg daily was prescribed and referred for consultation. The sense of smell changes over time for anormal aging process, affecting abilitiesto detect, identify and discriminate odors.Several neurodegenerative diseases presentcertain alterations that help us determine yourorigin and progression (Vaughan and Jackson, 2014).ConclusionsOlfactory auras occurs before a seizure of the temporal lobe. Repeated stimuli in limbic regions can produce changes in the piriform cortex, with increased excitability and in epileptic discharges.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

Abstract
Struma ovarii is an uncommon ovarian tumour, defined by the finding of thyroid tissue in the ovary, and more frequently found in teratomas. Symptoms of struma ovarii are nonspecific. The definite diagnosis is made by histological examination. The authors report the case of an asymptomatic 76-year-old female patient, whose ultrasonography, magnetic resonance and computed tomography suggested bilateral ovarian teratoma. Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Assessment score was high. She underwent exploratory laparotomy, peritoneal washing, total hysterectomy, bilateral adnexectomy and intra-operative frozen section. The final pathological report described bilateral mature cystic teratoma with benign struma ovarii. Surgery remains the best treatment.

Abstract
One of the main constraints in aquaculture production is farmed fish vulnerability to diseases due to husbandry practices or external factors like pollution, climate changes, or even the alterations in the dynamic of product transactions in this industry. It is though important to better understand and characterize the intervenients in the process of a disease outbreak as these lead to huge economical losses in aquaculture industries. High-throughput technologies like proteomics can be an important characterization tool especially in pathogen identification and the virulence mechanisms related to host-pathogen interactions on disease research and diagnostics that will help to control, prevent, and treat diseases in farmed fish. Proteomics important role is also maximized by its holistic approach to understanding pathogenesis processes and fish responses to external factors like stress or temperature making it one of the most promising tools for fish pathology research.

Abstract
This data article is associated with the research article “Evaluating the impact of methionine-enriched diets in the liver of European seabass through label-free shotgun proteomics”. Here it is described the data obtained from proteomic analysis of 36 European seabass juveniles (3 fish x 3 replicate tanks) after 18 days of feeding with experimental diets containing four inclusion levels of methionine (Met): 0.77%, 1%, 1.36% and 1.66% Met (w/w). We analysed this dataset and compared it with that obtained during the long-term feeding period i.e., 85 days. Fish liver proteins were digested with trypsin and purified peptides were analysed by LC-MS/MS. Proteins were identified with at least two peptides at 0.1% Decoy false discovery rate (FDR). In this dataset, we present the analysis of the differential abundant proteins (DAP) with significant differences across treatments after 18 days of feeding (One-Way ANOVA, p < 0.05). Treatment's comparisons were also performed between the 18- and 85-days feeding trials through Two-Way ANOVA (p < 0.05). MS/MS raw data are available via ProteomeXChange with identifiers PXD019610 and 10.6019/PXD019610 (18-days dataset); and PXD019622 and 10.6019/PXD019622 (85-days dataset). This dataset corresponds to fish sampled after 18-days of experimental trial and is made available to support the study conducted in the afore-mentioned article, by performing the analysis during a short-term period of feeding. The data presented may be further used in other nutritional studies e.g., addressing hepatic changes mediated by Met.

Abstract
Cancer has been for many years the second leading cause of mortality right after cardiovascular diseases, representing 25% of all the deaths reported yearly and this tendency is expected to increase. Although the recent public health emergency caused by COVID-19 pandemic diverted much of the attention of policy makers, the public opinion and even researchers from other important, economical relevant and deadly diseases, cancer still remains as one of the major healthcare issues. Moreover, recent studies revealed the negative effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the increase of avoidable cancer-related deaths. It is then the perfect time to bring back the spotlight onto the topic of cancer.
The aim of this paper is to share the outcomes of the workshop organized by the COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Association, bringing together sixty participants representing a broad variety of stakeholders, to discuss a holistic approach on how to beat cancer by 2030.
The conclusions of this workshop are highly relevant for the community and are supporting the work being undertaken by the EU Mission Board on Cancer. This report lays down the main conclusions and recommendations agreed by the workshop participants, focusing on different aspects such as better stakeholder collaboration, citizen education, innovative therapies, and patient-centric care.

Abstract
Antidepressant metabolites are found in natural and waste waters. However, investigation of their toxic effects on aquatic animals, single or in mixture with other occurring psychoactive drugs, has been neglected. Here, effects of 80hpf exposure to norfluoxetine (0.64-400 ng/L), venlafaxine (16-10000 ng/L) or their combination (3.2 ng/L +2000 ng/L, respectively) were investigated in embryos and zebrafish larvae. Mortality, embryonic malformations, sensorymotor reflexes and the expression of 34 genes involved in the toxicants mode-of-action (MoA) and metabolism were evaluated (i.e. monoamine receptors and transporters, nuclear receptors, and detoxification transporters and enzymes). Compared to controls, norfluoxetine treatments only caused depigmentation of embryos and larvae. Venlafaxine-exposed larvae exhibited depigmentation and spinal deformities, impaired sensorymotor reflexes, alterations in the expression of genes belonging to the serotonergic, noradrenergic and dopaminergic pathways, as well as nuclear receptors related to lipid and drug metabolism. The mixture elicited distinct interaction effects, depending on the level of biological organisation analysed and the neurotransmitter pathways affected; synergism (lethality), no interaction (sensorymotor reflexes), antagonism and inverse agonism (gene expression). The results call for investigation of the toxicity of pharmaceutical metabolites single and in mixture, as well as their risk assessment in approaches accounting for possible interactions with other endocrine-disrupting compounds.
