Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of needle holders in reducing staff hand exposure during biopsies guided by computed tomography fluoroscopy ( CTF ), through the analysis of data acquired during a detailed monitoring study, undertaken in parallel with an ongoing optimization process to reduce hand irradiation. Methods Hand monitoring was performed with 11 extremity detectors, two per finger (base and tip) and one on the back of the wrist, for the left (dominant) hand, ...

Lipodystrophies are characterized by adipose tissue redistribution, insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic complications. Adipokines and hormones related to body composition may play an important role linking these alterations. Our aim was to evaluate adipocyte-derived hormones (adiponectin, leptin, resistin, TNF-α, PAI-1) and ghrelin plasma levels and their relationship with IR in HIV-infected patients according to the presence of lipodystrophy and fat redistribution.Anthropometric and metabolic parameters, ...

HIV-infected patients may be at increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events, and lipodystrophy is generally associated with proatherogenic metabolic disturbances. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) has been used as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis and it has been shown to be an independent risk factor for CV disease. Our objective was to evaluate cIMT in HIV-infected patients on combined anti-retroviral therapy (cART) with and without lipodystrophy defined by fat mass ratio (L-FMR), and to ...

Agricultural intensification has increased the number of stressors that pollinators are exposed to. Besides increasing landscape fragmentation that limit the supply of flower resources, intensive agricultural practices relying on the use of pesticides to control agricultural pests also affect non-target organisms like honey bees. The use of most pesticides containing neonicotinoids has been severely restricted in the European Union, leaving pesticides containing acetamiprid as the only ones that ...

Coryphaena hippurus is a medium-to-large-sized fish very much appreciated in fine cooking. However, about 30% of its body, which corresponds to its viscera, is discarded and usually in an unlawful manner. When improperly disposed, this material causes environmental problems such as water and soil pollution. To minimize the issues caused by this organic waste, the use of fish viscera has increased as a source of important biomolecules like proteins, enzymes, and amino acids, which exhibit important ...

Computed tomography fluoroscopy (CTF) is a useful imaging technique to guide biopsies, particularly lung biopsies, but it also has the potential for very high hand exposures, despite use of quick‐check method and needle holders whenever feasible. Therefore, reliable monitoring is crucial to ensure the safe use of CTF. This is a challenge, because ring dosimeters monitor exposure only at the base of one finger, while the fingertips may be exposed to the highly collimated CT beam. In this work we have ...

Over the years, microorganisms have developed several resistance mechanisms against standard treatments, thus limiting the effect of drugs and rendering ineffective therapies. Considering the growing number of resistant pathogens and adverse effects of conventional therapies, new antimicrobial technologies able to provide more effective, rapid, and safer treatments to inactivate pathogens, with unlikely chances of inducing resistance, are needed. In this regard, antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation ( ...
