The aims of this study were to develop a multiparametric prognostic model for death in COVID-19 patients and to assess the incremental value of CT disease extension over clinical parameters. Consecutive patients who presented to all five of the emergency rooms of the Reggio Emilia province between February 27 and March 23, 2020, for suspected COVID-19, underwent chest CT, and had a positive swab within 10 days were included in this retrospective study. Age, sex, comorbidities, days from symptom ...

This research aimed at the investigation of an overland flow system applied to the post-treatment of anaerobic effluents. The system treated domestic sewage in Itabira City (Brazil), being composed by an anaerobic reactor and an overland flow system, the latter working as a post-treatment unit. A portion of the reactor's effluent was directed to a group of three overland flow slopes (demonstration scale), that were operated with different application rates. During Phase 1 of the research the overland ...

SUMMARY The effect of heat shock was investigated on lymphoblastoid cell lines Raji and P3HR1 harbouring Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genomes, and on Vero cells abortively infected with human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). A heat shock at 44 °C for 10 min induced the appearance of EBV early antigens in Raji cells and increased the percentage of cells expressing EBV viral capsid antigens in P3HR1 cells. Heat shock performed on Vero cells just before HCMV infection resulted in an approximately fourfold increase ...

Over the last few decades, the use of space-borne radar altimetry has dramatically improved our knowledge and understanding of the oceans. During this same period, sea-level observation with tide gauges has also undergone spectacular changes, both from a technological point of view and in the applicative fields. This article gives a brief history of tidal observation and then explains how this discipline is closely linked both to geodesy and to oceanography. The renewed interest in tide gauges is ...

Disinfection of surface drinking water, particularly water chlorination, produces by-products with potential genotoxic and/or carcinogenic activity. A study carried out at a pilot plant for drinking water disinfection of lake water revealed mutagenic activity of three different disinfectants (sodium hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide and peracetic acid) in different seasons using in situ mutagenicity assays, both in animal (micronucleus test) and in plant organisms (anaphase chromosomal aberration and ...

Diabetes mellitus accelerates atherosclerotic processes, and it is known that inflammation plays a key role in atherosclerosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate in patients with Type 2 diabetes whether serum levels of CRP (C-reactive protein) are associated with cytokine production in whole blood. A total of 89 outpatients with Type 2 diabetes were enrolled, and blood pressure, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, glycated haemoglobin, cholesterol, triacylglycerols (triglycerides) and ...

An indirect alkaline phosphatase immunoenzymatic staining method was developed to localise antigens in human embryo fibroblasts that have been induced by cytomegalovirus.The enzyme label was developed with a naphthol salt and fast blue to obtain a bright blue staining of the antigens that could be clearly visualised under an ordinary light microscope.The procedure is rapid, sensitive, and specific and can be used in diagnostic laboratories to detect active infection caused by cytomegalovirus.

In order to achieve a more defined serological pattern for the study of the role of B19 infection in haemophilic arthritis, 53 serum samples from 37 patients with haemophilic arthritis were investigated for the presence of IgG immune response against B19 VP2 and VP1 linear epitopes and VP2 conformational antigen compared to the serological reactivity against B19 NS1 ...

Abstract Background Dual therapy (DT) with boosted protease inhibitors (bPIs) plus lamivudine has been shown to be superior to bPI monotherapy in virologically suppressed patients despite previous selection of the lamivudine resistance M184V mutation. We compared the virological efficacy of lamivudine-based DT in patients with and without a history of M184V detection. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with HIV-RNA ≤50 copies/mL switching to DT with at least 1 previous resistance genotype ...

Abstract Context Objective response rate to mitotane in advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is approximately 20%, and adverse drug effects are frequent. To date, there is no marker established that predicts treatment response. Mitotane has been shown to inhibit sterol-O-acyl transferase 1 (SOAT1), which leads to endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell death in ACC cells. Objective To investigate SOAT1 protein expression as a marker of treatment response to mitotane. Patients A total of 231 ACC patients ...

Background and Aim: Innate immunity appears to be silent in acutely heptitis B virus (HBV)-infected chimpanzees, as shown by microarray analysis of intrahepatic gene expression. Whether this observation also applies to HBV pathogenesis in man remains undefined. The aim of this study was thus to characterise natural killer (NK) and CD56 + natural T (NT) cell responses early after human HBV infection and their relationship to the induction of adaptive immunity. Methods: Two HBV-seronegative blood donors who became ...

We examined the effects of chest wall strapping (CWS) on the response to inhaled methacholine (MCh) and the effects of deep inspiration (DI). Eight subjects were studied on 1 day with MCh inhaled without CWS (CTRL), 1 day with MCh inhaled during CWS (CWS on/on ), and 1 day with MCh inhaled during temporary removal of CWS (CWS off/on ). On the CWS on/on day, MCh caused greater increases in pulmonary resistance, upstream resistance, dynamic elastance, residual volume, and greater decreases in maximal expiratory ...

To clarify this issue, Sprague Dawley rats were treated with Ang II (200 ng/kg per minute, n = 15) or physiological saline ( n = 14) for 4 weeks. Systolic blood pressure and albuminuria were measured every 2 weeks. At the end of the experimental period, renal glomerular and ...

Osteoporosis, a metabolic disease characterized by low bone mass, deterioration of the bone tissue microarchitecture and increased susceptibility to fractures, is commonly regarded as a women's health problem. This point of view is based on the fact that compared with men, women have lower bone mineral density and longer lifespans and lose bone mass faster, especially after menopause, due to a marked decrease in serum estrogen levels. However, in the last 20 years, osteoporosis in men has become ...
