Additive manufacturing (AM) holds great potential for processing natural polymer hydrogels into 3D scaffolds exploitable tissue engineering and in vitro modelling. The aim of this research activity was to assess the suitability computer-aided wet-spinning (CAWS) AM hyaluronic acid (HA)/chitosan (Cs) polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) hydrogels. A post-printing treatment based on HA chemical cross-linking via transesterification with poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic acid) (PMVEMA) investigated...
Abstract Concentrations in fish of per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were reported for 7 deep lakes the European subalpine area: Lakes Geneva, Lugano, Maggiore, Iseo, Como, Garda, Mergozzo; one shallow lowland lake (Varese); 2 high‐altitude alpine (>2000 m a.s.l). Fillets and, selected cases, other body fractions (viscera, liver, residual carcass) from 8 species analyzed. The possibility harmonizing monitoring protocols was tested. Results suggest that sampling season is not...
The biomagnification of mercury, polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane and its metabolites (DDTs) perfluoroalkyl acids substances (PFASs) was evaluated in the trophic web Lake Mergozzo, a small deep Italian subalpine lake, which has been chosen because it is protected environment, discharges into lake are mostly avoided. Carbon source relative levels were calculated by using 13C 15N stable isotopes, respectively, magnification factors (TMFs) derived. Zooplankton...
Abstract For many years, eggs of diverse bird species have been used as monitoring tools in studies investigating perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination, especially marine and remote areas. Avian are a suitable matrix because they relatively easy to collect their yolks store maternally transferred PFAS. Moreover, the concentrations PFAS detected good proxy for maternal exposure allow assessment potential risk birds. These features support use avian key tool PFAS‐contaminated sites....
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have multiple emission sources, from industrial to domestic, their high persistence mobility help them spread in all the networks of watercourses. Diffuse pollution these compounds can be potentially mitigated by application green infrastructures, which are a pillar EU Green Deal. In this context, phytoremediation pilot plant was realised supplied contaminated well-located Lonigo (Veneto Region, Italy) where surface groundwaters were significantly...
The current evidence indicates that the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is lower in pediatric population but local data are still limited. Objective: To characterize clinical and epidemiological aspects COVID-19 infection patients younger than 18 years Argentina.Cross-sectional, observational, analytical study confirmed aged 0-18 seen between March 2020 2021 at 19 referral children's hospitals Argentina. A multivariate analysis was done to identify predictors severe cases.A...
Peridotites and different types of eclogites occurring in the Monte Duria area (Adula–Cima Lunga unit, Central Alps, Italy) share a common eclogite-facies peak at P = 2·6–3·0 GPa T 710–750°C, constrained by conventional thermobarometry thermodynamic modelling. High-pressure minerals are replaced both peridotites lower-P high-T assemblages. In peridotites, zirconium titanate srilankite occurs as micrometre-sized crystals textural equilibrium with spinel, clinopyroxene orthopyroxene kelyphites...
Recently, the use of Daphnia magna has been proposed in on-line and real-time biomonitoring programmes as an early warning system for evaluating effluent quality sewage treatment plants (STPs). These systems are based on recording behavioural changes test organism resulting from stress caused by effluents. Indeed, altered signals could be induced at sublethal concentrations that significantly lower than corresponding EC50. However, present, it is unknown whether sensitivity D. can...
The aims of this Argentinian study were to describe and analyse the outcomes a continuous interdisciplinary follow-up programme patients with gastroschisis.This was prospective, longitudinal babies gastroschisis admitted from 1 November 2003 31 October 2014, paper presents results at one, three six years age. Matched-pairs analyses carried out when they one six.We enrolled 62 assessed 52 year age, 34 17 years. This showed that 63% had mental health problems 5% recurrent wheezing. Normal...
Global climate change circulation pattern respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). We assessed whether RSV season has changed over the past 20 years and its correlation with mean annual temperature.Cross-sectional study that included records of temperatures from Buenos Aires (1995-2014). onset, offset duration, temperature were described for each year.A total 8109 infections identified. The duration reduced significantly (1995: 29 weeks vs. 2014: 17 weeks; R: 0.6; p < 0.001) due to an early ending...
A method for the determination of 12 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAA) in vegetal samples was proposed. The analytical procedure developed to optimize detection short-chain PFAA (C < 8) due their higher potential be translocated and bioaccumulated plants than long-chain congeners. method, based on ultrasonic extraction, clean-up HPLC-MS/MS analysis, determined different plant tissues allowing distribution partition compartments studied. performance this validated by analysing (root, stem leaf)...

Background: We provide protocolized interdisciplinary follow-up to babies born with Esophageal Atresia (EA). There are few reports in Argentina about of EA patients. Objective: To describe outcomes patients at 1, 3 and 6 years old compare age 1 those 6. Methods: Prospective, longitudinal, analytic study the cohort EA, admitted program from 11/01/03 10/31/14. Follow-up includes: growth (weight > 10 th centile, WHO), neurology-psychomotor development, audiology, vision, genetic, mental health,...
In 2012 the 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine (PCV-13) was introduced in National Immunization Program. We performed an epidemiological study to describe SPN nasopharyngeal carriage prevalence. Between June September 2015 it a cross-sectional among children <3 years old, attending day care centers. Nasopharyngeal samples were collected from at public and private centers 5 cities of Argentina (Salta (North West), Trelew (South), Rosario (Centre), Buenos Aires (Capital city) Posadas...
