    Abstract Purpose: To study the effect of the enzymatic mixture: Lipase, Collagenase and Hyaluronidase in the treatment of submental fat.
    Methods: A monocentric prospective cohort study including 10 female patients, aged between 18 and 65 years old, who received treatment for submental fat with a mixture of Lipase, Collagenase, and Hyaluronidase. The treatment protocol consisted of one treatment session every 21 days for a total of 3 sessions. In each session, 4 ml of the enzymatic mixture (1 ml of Collagenase GH PB20, 1 ml of Hyaluronidase PB 3000 and 2 ml of Lipase PB 500) + 2 ml of Lidocaine 2% were injected in the submental fat (SMF). Efficacy was assessed four weeks after the last session. Co-Primary Outcome was defined as the improvement of ≥ 1-point in Clinician-Reported and Patient-Reported Sub-mental Fat Rating Scales (CR-SMFRS and PR-SMFRS). Secondary Outcomes included score reductions in Patient-Reported Sub-mental Fat Impact Scale (PR-SMFIS), ≥10% reduction in submental fat pad thickness by ultrasound, and Subject Self-Rating Scale (SSRS) responses of 4, 5, or 6.
    Results: The Co-Primary outcome was achieved in 9 out of 10 patients. A considerable reduction of 22.8% in the PR-SMFIS was observed. Furthermore, 9 out of 10 patients expressed overall satisfaction with the treatment. Submental fat reduction of more than 10% was observed in 9 out of 10 patients in neutral position and in all patients in flexed position. Adverse effects were only limited to local reactions.
    Conclusion: The enzymatic mixture of Lipase, Collagenase and Hyaluronidase is an effective and safe minimally-invasive method for the reduction of SMF that can be used alone or in conjunction with other treatment modalities.

    Abstract: ... Projections of the lentiform nucleus in the monkey', by Walle J.H. Nauta and William R. Mehler used ...

    Abstract Unlabelled: The fiber degenerations resulting from variously located lesions of the lentiform nucleus were studied in the rhesus monkey by the aid of the Nauta-Gygax and Albrecht-Fernstrom techniques. The following observations were made. (1) Putaminofugal connections. Thin fibers originating in the putamen and composing Wilson's 'pencil' bundles traverse the globus pallidus, converging toward the medial point of the lentiform nucleus. The mjority of these fibers terminate in both segments of the globus pallidus, but a considerable number continue caudalward, perforating the cerebral peduncle as ventral components of Edinger's comb system, and terminate in lateral parts of the substantia nigra, pars reticulata. (2) Pallidofugal connections. The ansa lenticularis as defined by von Monakow originates exclusively from the globus pallidus. Its middle division, composed of fibers of medium calibre, arises in the external pallidal segment and traverses the cerebral peduncle as the dorsal component of the comb system to end in the subthalamic nucleus. The thick-fibered dorsal and ventral ansal divisions arise in the internal pallidal segment and combine to form the fasciculus lenticularis which represents the only apparent direct connection of the globus pallidus with the thalamus and the mesencephalic tegmentum. (a) Pallidothalamic fibers follow successively the lenticular and thalamic fasciculi and are distributed to the nuclei ventralis lateralis (subnuclei medialis and oralis of Olszewski and Baxter; none to Zone X and subnucleus caudalis) and ventralis anterior (except subnucleus VAmc). A considerable number of thinner fibers, possibly collaterals of those to VL and VA, terminate in the 'centre médian'; this connection appears to close a potential transthalamic circuit: putamen-globus pallidus-'centre médian'-putamen. (b) There is suggestive evidence of pallidofugal fibers following the stratum zonale thalami to the habenula. (c) Pallidohypothalamic connections could not be identified. Most, and possibly all, of the ansal fibers composing the so-called pallidohypothalamic tract loop back into Forel's fields after a shorter or longer descent into the hypothalamus. (d) Fibers of the fasciculus lenticularis by-passing the thalamus are distributed to the nucleus of Forel's field H (prerubral field). Longer fibers of the same category pass caudalward lateral and ventral to the red nucleus and terminate in the nucleus tegmenti pedunculopontinus, particularly in the latter's caudal subnucleus compactus (terminology of Olszewski and Baxter). A few such pallidomesencephalic fibers appear to end in a small circumscript caudal area of the substantia nigra, pars compacta. No evidence was obtained of pallidotegmental fibers extending caudally beyond the mesencephalon. (e) Pallidal efferents to the zona incerta could not be identified. Only sporadic pallidofugal fibers could be followed to the red nucleus, nucleus interstitialis, and nucleus of Darkschewitsch.
    Article abstract: The article, 'Projections of the lentiform nucleus in the monkey', by Walle J.H. Nauta and William R. Mehler used a relatively new anatomical tracing method that allowed visualization of degenerating myelin following carefully placed lesions to identify the efferent projections from the lentiform nucleus. While several of the basal ganglia pathways had been described or suspected, this publication validated many of these, resolved controversies regarding some connections, and demonstrated a few that had not previously been shown. This seminal paper became a main reference for basal ganglia connections until newer, more specific tracer techniques were developed. Several students and colleagues who worked closely with Nauta continued to use anatomical tracing methods to make key important contributions to delineating basal ganglia circuits and function. Collectively these studies have impacted greatly on our understanding of the role of the basal ganglia in normal behavior and in neurological and psychiatric disorders. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled SI:50th Anniversary Issue.

    Abstract Acquired ichthyosis (AI) is a rare, nonhereditary cutaneous disorder that has been associated with numerous neoplastic, infectious, drugs, endocrine, metabolic, autoimmune, and malabsorptive diseases. Review all demographical, clinical, histological, and therapeutic features of AI and focus on all reported associated diseases. We performed a systematic literature review in Pubmed/Medline, Embase, and Cochrane collaboration databases, searching for all articles on AI, with no limits on publication date, participant age, sex or nationality. Eighty-four articles were included. Total number of included patients was 167 patients with a mean age at presentation of 39 years [range 0.5-85] and a sex ratio M:F of 5:2. The most common malignancy associated with AI is Hodgkin's lymphoma. AI occurred before, simultaneously or after the onset of malignancy or systemic disease. The severity of AI depends on the severity of the underlying disorder and regresses once the disease goes into remission and may also be a marker of disease recurrence or relapse. 8% have been reported to be drug related and all occurred weeks to months after drug intake and resolved after stopping or decreasing the dose of the drug. Data were derived from case reports and observational studies. Limitations include the accuracy of published data, potential patient selection, and reporting bias. AI can be associated with numerous systemic diseases and drugs. Physicians should be particularly alert to these associations to provide adequate screening and management of patients with AI.

    Title translation Lifestyle: physical activity and training as prevention and therapy of type 2 diabetes mellitus (Update 2023).
    Abstract Lifestyle, in general and particularly regular physical activity, is known to be an important component in the prevention and therapy of type 2 diabetes.To gain substantial health benefits, a minimum of 150 min of moderate or vigorous intense aerobic physical activity and muscle strengthening activities per week should be performed. Additionally, inactivity should be recognized as health hazard and prolonged episodes of sitting should be avoided.Especially exercise is not only efficient in improving glycaemia by lowering insulin resistance and enhance insulin secretion, but to reduce cardiovascular risk. The positive effect of training correlates directly with the amount of fitness gained and lasts only as long as the fitness level is sustained. Exercise training is effective in all age groups and for all genders. It is reversible and reproducible.Standardized, regional and supervised exercise classes are well known to be attractive for adults to reach a sufficient level of health enhancing physical activity. Additionally, based on the large evidence of exercise referral and prescription, the Austrian Diabetes Associations aims to implement the position of a "physical activity adviser" in multi-professional diabetes care. Unfortunately, the implementation of booth-local exercise classes and advisers is missing so far.

    Abstract Obesity is a risk factor for severe respiratory diseases, including COVID-19 infection. Meta-analyses on mortality risk were inconsistent. We systematically searched 3 databases (Medline, Embase, CINAHL) and assessed the quality of studies using the Newcastle-Ottawa tool (CRD42020220140). We included 199 studies from US and Europe, with a mean age of participants 41.8-78.2 years, and a variable prevalence of metabolic co-morbidities of 20-80 %. Exceptionally, one third of the studies had a low prevalence of obesity of <20 %. Compared to patients with normal weight, those with obesity had a 34 % relative increase in the odds of mortality (p-value 0.002), with a dose-dependent relationship. Subgroup analyses showed an interaction with the country income. There was a high heterogeneity in the results, explained by clinical and methodologic variability across studies. We identified one trial only comparing mortality rate in vaccinated compared to unvaccinated patients with obesity; there was a trend for a lower mortality in the former group. Mortality risk in COVID-19 infection increases in parallel to an increase in BMI. BMI should be included in the predictive models and stratification scores used when considering mortality as an outcome in patients with COVID-19 infections. Furthermore, patients with obesity might need to be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccination.

    Abstract The main objective of the research was to study the environmental "price" of the large-scale, milk production from a rarely known perspective, from the mapping of the estrogenic footprint (the amount of oestrus-inducer hormonal products, and the generated endoestrogens) in the resulting slurry in a dairy cow farm. These micropollutants are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and can be dangerous to the normal reproductive functions even at ng/kg concentration. One of them, 17ß-estradiol, has a 20,000 times stronger estrogenic effect than bisphenol-A, a widely known EDC of industrial origin. While most studies on EDCs are short-term and/or laboratory based, this study is longitudinal and field-based. We sampled the slurry pool on a quarterly basis between 2017 and 2020. Our purpose was testing the estrogenic effects using a dual approach. As an effect-based, holistic method, we developed and used the YES (yeast estrogen screen) test employing the genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae BJ3505 strain which contains human estrogenic receptor. For testing exact molecules, UHPLC-FLD was used. Our study points out that slurry contains a growing amount of EDCs with the risk of penetrating into the soil, crops and the food chain. Considering the Green Chemistry concept, the most benign ways to prevent of the pollution of the slurry is choosing appropriate oestrus-inducing veterinary pharmaceuticals (OIVPs) and the separation of the solid and liquid parts with adequate treatment methods. To our knowledge, this is the first paper on the adaptation of the YES test for medicine and slurry samples, extending its applicability. The adapted YES test turned out to be a sensitive, robust and reliable method for testing samples with potential estrogenic effect. Our dual approach was successful in evaluating the estrogenic effect of the slurry samples.
