Mosquito-borne West Nile virus (WNV) infection is benign in most individuals but can cause encephalitis <1% of infected individuals. We show that ∼35% patients hospitalized for WNV disease (WNVD) six independent cohorts from the EU and USA carry auto-Abs neutralizing IFN-α and/or -ω. The prevalence these antibodies highest with (∼40%), silent as low general population. odds ratios WNVD relative to those without them population range 19.0 (95% CI 15.0–24.0, P value <10–15) only...
A new strain of WNV lineage 1 (WNV - 1) emerged in the Veneto Region, northern Italy, 2021, eight years after last outbreak Italy. The virus, which co-circulates with WNV-2, has become endemic where, 2022, most human cases neuroinvasive disease (WNND) reported Europe have occurred.
We present the first detailed experimental observation and analysis of nanoparticle electrophoresis through a nanochannel obtained with synchronous high-bandwidth electrical camera recordings. Optically determined particle diffusion coefficients agree values extracted from fitting transport measurements to distributions 1D Fokker–Planck diffusion-drift theory. This combined tracking strategy enables optical recognition characterization nanoparticles in solution, which can have broad range...
The increasing global energy demand has stimulated great recent efforts in investigating new solutions for artificial photosynthesis, a potential source of clean and renewable solar fuel. In particular, according to the generally accepted modular approach aimed at optimising separately different compartments entire process, many studies have focused on development catalytic systems water oxidation oxygen. While years there been reports systems, mechanism active intermediates operating...
Abstract Two novel di(N‐heterocyclic carbene) complexes of formula (μ‐PyrIm‐CH 2 ‐ImPyr)[IrCp*Cl] (PF 6 ) ( 1 and μ‐MeIm‐CH p ‐C H )CH ‐ImMe[IrCp*Cl] (Im = imidazol‐2‐ylidene) have been synthesised by transmetallation the dicarbene ligand from corresponding silver complex, using [IrCp*(μ‐Cl)Cl] as an iridium precursor. The structure complex has determined X‐ray diffraction is characterized a double ortho ‐metallation ‐xylylene bridge between carbene units. Both show good activity in transfer...
The aim of this work was to verify the tolerability and preliminary clinical results intensive intravesical instillations a mitomycin C (MMC) regimen.From September 2007 November 2009, 40 consecutive evaluable patients with pathologically confirmed intermediate-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) were enrolled after complete transurethral resection all visible tumors. mean age 64.5 years. mg MMC diluted in 50 ml saline instilled three times week for 2 weeks. median follow-up 9...
Abstract Invited for the front cover of Cluster Issue on Water Oxidation Chemistry is Helios group at University Padova, fostering a new research impetus solar fuels by collaborative synergy among catalysis, organometallic, mechanistic, and materials science experts. The image shows novel dicarbene iridium(III) complex oxygen evolution as result its catalytic action under visible light irradiation. This one key goal HELIOS strategic project, targeting molecules nanomaterials energy schemes,...
Clinical effectiveness of botulinum toxin (BTX) in the treatment both neurogenic and idiopathic detrusor overactivity has been demonstrated several studies. However, different protocols techniques have used by authors. Methods. Literature review on intradetrusor injection BTX for overactivity. Results. The greatest clinical experience reports use 200 300 U Botox®. Available data suggest that efficacy, duration, side effect profile is similar at these doses. Very few data, other hand, are...
Bladder cancer treatment is a challenge for both urologists and oncologists. Particularly during these last years many changes have been made in the management of superficial bladder cancer. In case cancer, intravesical instillation chemo/immunotherapeutic agents after transurethral resection standard. The goals include: complete removal initial tumor, prevention recurrences inhibition disease progression. This work aims at reviewing new developments therapeutic field A growing trend...
Normal and abnormal bladder contractions are principally mediated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic parasympathetic nerves. Since amikacin was reported to affect neurotransmission a prejunctional mechanism, we investigated the effect of on isolated detrusor smooth muscle contraction further evaluate its potential relaxant properties.Detrusor obtained 15 rats 8 patients undergoing surgery were studied through measurement isometric muscular induced with electrical field stimulation...
In this paper we present first findings of the Digi-Care project, a multidisciplinary, multi-stakeholder research project investigating impacts digitization on nursing work practices and in particular transmission patient care information within beyond practices. We completed initial data collection funded 3-year report plethora significant critical IT-related events. Some them can be attributed to usability issues.
The cover picture shows the novel dicarbene iridium(III) complex and oxygen evolution as a result of its catalytic action under visible light irradiation. This is one key goal HELIOS strategic project, targeting new molecules nanomaterials for solar energy schemes, represented by fullerene sunflower logo. Dr. Rami Al-Oweini (ITM-CNR Postdoctoral Fellow) acknowledged his creative design putting together illustration. Details are discussed in article C. Tubaro, M. Bonchio et al. on p. 665 ff....
Some notes to implement and manage correctly a plurality of projects regarding Public Works, as well design/develop an information tool supporting all linked activities are presented in this paper. Starting from reference context represented by private building owner, we will dwell on some techniques problems the management communication time/costs.
