Mussels have important ecological functions in freshwater ecosystems, but populations are declining in many rivers worldwide. In the Amazon, which is undergoing widespread human-mediated alterations, information on mussel ecology is lacking. We investigated whether declines in mussel density, due to exploitation, are associated with lower macroinvertebrate assemblage taxon richness and modified habitat functioning in an Amazonian river. Between 2015 and 2017, macroinvertebrate metrics of abundance ...

Abstract Meanders are complex aquatic environments exhibiting different flow and sediment characteristics that influence macroinvertebrate distribution. Differences in macroinvertebrate composition, freshwater mussel density (mainly Castalia ambigua Lamarck, 1819) and habitat variables were investigated, using uni‐ and multivariate analyses, in two zones, the margin and thalweg, of the meanders of a 7‐km stretch of a morphologically unaltered tropical alluvial lowland river. Clear differences were ...

Shell shape variation of the freshwater mussel Castalia ambigua in relation to environmental and genetic drivers remains unresolved in South America. Along an increasing upstream to downstream hydrological gradient in the Caeté River, eastern Amazon, Brazil, we evaluated two co-occurring morphotypes of C. ambigua: the first is elongated and compressed; the second is rounded and inflated. We performed multivariate shape analysis on the lateral view of the right valve and the umbonal view, to identify ...

The shells of unionid freshwater mussels are highly morphologically variable, making species identification difficult and thus hampering conservation efforts. Shell shape variation is associated with several factors, of which hydrodynamic variables are the most common. Using geometric morphometrics, shell shape was evaluated on the basis of both external (entire margin including alate processes) and internal (pallial line and positions of muscle scars and teeth) landmarks in Triplodon corrugatus, ...

Rotenone, azadirachtin, pyrethrins and copper fungicide decay curves were determined in olives and olive oil samples after experimental trials, consisting of one, two and three applications of each active ingredient, were carried out twice in 2005 and 2006. Rotenone, azadiracthin and pyrethrins were analyzed by extraction with acetonitrile and determined by liquid chromatography; copper was extracted into aqueous HCl and determined by chemical stripping. Pyrethrins were always found but in levels ...

It is currently unknown how many RNA transcripts are able to induce degradation of microRNAs (miRNA) via the mechanism known as target-directed miRNA degradation (TDMD). We developed TDMDfinder, a computational pipeline that identifies 'high confidence' TDMD interactions in the Human and Mouse transcriptomes by combining sequence alignment and feature selection approaches. Our predictions suggested that TDMD is widespread, with potentially every miRNA controlled by endogenous targets. We experimentally ...

Background Ipilimumab improves survival of patients with metastatic melanoma, many of whom develop brain metastases. Chemotherapy-induced release of tumour antigens might amplify ipilimumab's antitumour activity. We aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of ipilimumab plus fotemustine in patients with metastatic melanoma with or without asymptomatic brain metastases. Methods In our open-label, single-arm phase 2 trial, we enrolled patients 18 years or older with measurable, locally advanced, ...

Abstract: Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2 (PI-RADS v2) provides clinical guidelines for multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) [T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI)] of prostate. However, DCE-MRI seems to show a limited contribution in prostate cancer (PCa) detection and management. In our experience, DCE-MRI, did not show significant change in diagnostic performance in addition to ...

Malignant melanoma development in gastrointestinal (GI) tract may be primary or secondary. Although small bowel, colon and stomach represent common GI sites affected from metastatic cutaneous malignant melanoma (cMM), more than 90% of the cases are identified only during autoptic examinations. Therefore, the diagnosis in a living patient of gallbladder metastasis from cMM is considered extremely rare. We aimed to describe a case of metastatic melanoma involving the gallbladder, the stomach and the ...

We examined the length of WIT>30 min on the long-term renal function following on-clamp partial nephrectomy (PN).Data from 23 centers for patients undergoing on-clamp PN between 2000 and 2018 were analyzed. We included patients with two kidneys, single tumor, cT1, minimum 1-year follow-up, and preoperative eGFR≥60 mL/min/1.73m2. Patients were divided into two groups according to WIT length: group I "WIT≤30 min" ...

Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) are a T-lymphocyte subset involved in the maintenance of immune peripheral tolerance. Despite evidence of the adaptive immune system's role in Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the involvement of Tregs is still not clear. We focused on the Flow-Cytometry analysis of the Treg frequencies and phenotypes in the AD.

Objective: The use of regorafenib in recurrent glioblastoma patients has been recently approved by the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) and added to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) 2020 guidelines as a preferred regimen.

ABSTRACT Long-term analysis of the NIBIT-M1 trial continues to demonstrate efficacy of the combination of ipilimumab and fotemustine in metastatic melanoma patients with or without brain metastases. The addition of fotemustine to ipilimumab does not impair its immunomodulatory activity. Background In the NIBIT-M1 study, we reported a promising activity of ipilimumab combined with fotemustine in metastatic melanoma (MM) patients with or without brain metastases. To corroborate these initial findings, we now ...

Biparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (bpMRI) of the prostate combining both morphologic T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is emerging as an alternative to multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) to detect, to localize and to guide prostatic targeted biopsy in patients with suspicious prostate cancer (PCa). BpMRI overcomes some limitations of mpMRI such as the costs, the time required to perform the study, the use of gadolinium-based contrast agents and the lack of a guidance for ...

A model of a ATR fixed bed reactor with Rh catalyst has been developed and validated on the basis of experimental results. Experiments have been conducted in a small scale reactor and solid temperature profiles have been measured with IR camera. Temperature profiles present high peak temperature at reactor entrance as consequence of the partial separation in space of the reforming and oxidation reactions. Thus, the kinetic model for Rh catalyst refers to an indirect scheme including a shift factor ...

In this work, a one-dimensional heterogeneous model for the autothermal reforming of methane in a catalytic (Ni/Al2O3 catalyst) fixed-bed reactor is proposed. The kinetic model implements an indirect reaction scheme and includes a reduction factor that is dependent on the oxygen concentration. Such a factor delays the reforming and water-gas shift reactions, with respect to the oxidation reactions. Experiments at different steam-to-methane ratios and feed flow rates were conducted in a small-scale ...
