    Abstract Salmonella is the most frequently reported cause of foodborne outbreaks with known origin in Europe, with eggs and egg products standing out as the most frequent food source (when it was known). The growth and survival of Salmonella in eggs and egg products have been extensively studied and, recently, it has been reported that factors such as the initial concentration and thermal history of the egg product can also influence its growth capability. Therefore, the objective of this study was to define the boundary zones of the growth/no growth domain of Salmonella Enteritidis (4 strains) as a function of temperature (low temperature boundary) and the initial concentration in different egg products. A series of polynomial logistic regression equations were successfully adjusted, allowing the study of these factors and their interaction on the probability of growth of S. Enteritidis in these products. Results obtained indicate that the minimum growth temperatures of Salmonella Enteritidis are higher in egg white (9.5-18.3 °C) than in egg yolk (7.1-7.8 °C) or liquid whole egg (7.2-7.9 °C). Results also demonstrate that in raw liquid whole egg and raw and pasteurized egg white, the minimum growth temperature of Salmonella Enteritidis does depend on the initial concentration. Similarly, the previous thermal history of the egg product only influenced the minimum growth temperature in some of them. On the other hand, large differences in the minimum growth temperatures among strains were observed in some products (up to approx. 6 °C in egg white). Finally, it should be noted that none of the strains grew at 5 °C under any of the conditions assayed. Therefore, storage of egg products (particularly whole liquid egg and egg yolk) below this temperature might be regarded/proposed as a good management approach. Our experimental approach has allowed us to provide a more accurate prediction of S. Enteritidis minimum growth temperatures in egg products by taking into account additional factors (initial concentration and thermal history) while also providing a quantification of the intra-specie variability. This would be of high relevance for improving the safety of egg products.

    Abstract Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMA) constitute a group of different disorders that have a common underlying mechanism: the endothelial damage. These disorders may exhibit different mechanisms of endothelial injury depending on the pathological trigger. However, over the last decades, the potential role of the complement system (CS) has gained prominence in their pathogenesis. This is partly due to the great efficacy of complement-inhibitors in atypical hemolytic syndrome (aHUS), a TMA form where the primary defect is an alternative complement pathway dysregulation over endothelial cells (genetic and/or adquired). Complement involvement has also been demonstrated in other forms of TMA, such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and in Shiga toxin-producing

    Abstract Hyaline cartilage's inability to self-repair can lead to osteoarthritis and joint replacement. Various treatments, including cell therapy, have been developed for cartilage damage. Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) is considered the best option for focal chondral lesions. In this article, we aimed to create a narrative review that highlights the evolution and enhancement of our chondrocyte implantation technique: High-Density-ACI (HD-ACI) Membrane-assisted Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (MACI) improved ACI using a collagen membrane as a carrier. However, low cell density in MACI resulted in softer regenerated tissue. HD-ACI was developed to improve MACI, implanting 5 million chondrocytes per cm

    Abstract Context: Suspension training devices are becoming increasingly popular. Most studies analyzed the effectiveness according to diverse measures in patients with or without conditions at any age. The characteristics of suspension training are very specific and can increase instability and; therefore, enhance balance. The goal was to determine the effects of suspension training on balance by comparing it with instability training.
    Design: Two-arm, randomized trial.
    Methods: 44 young adults, aged 22.4 years old, with no musculoskeletal condition, took part. There were 2 interventions, suspension and instability training, designed with 12 sessions in 4 weeks. The primary outcome was the Y-Balance test. Other balance outcomes were the Emery and jumping sideways tests, and platform measures while standing.
    Results: Suspension and instability training were effective in enhancing balance in terms of the primary outcome, the Y-Balance test, with no between-group differences. Instability training enhanced the Emery test over suspension training (P = .018), but the latter was more effective in the jumping sideways test (P = .003). Neither of the training improved static balance measures.
    Conclusions: Training with suspension devices is effective in enhancing dynamic balance, with similar improvements to instability training. Importantly, the magnitude of change and the frequency of responders to intervention in terms of motor coordination and keeping balance in unstable conditions appear to be sensitive to the type of training.

    Abstract On some occasions, postoperative mediastinal bleeding or right ventricular failure forces surgical teams to pursue a strategy of open-chest management and delayed sternal closure. One notable source of postoperative bleeding is the sternum, either due to medullar bleeding or bone margin oozing, which may be difficult to control. Furthermore, in cases with right ventricular failure or dilatation needing an open-chest strategy, sternal margins might erode and injure the right ventricular anterior wall. We propose a simple but effective sternal protection technique during open-chest management and further delayed chest closure. Using leftover tubing from the cardiopulmonary bypass circuit or a mediastinal 32 Fr drain, both sternal margins are covered and secured with sutures. Moreover, in case of profuse bleeding, a thrombin-derived haemostatic agent can be applied between the bone marrow and the tube for an additional level of haemostasis. The sternal wound is isolated with a latex membrane and covered with transparent sterile adhesive sheets to achieve vacuum sealing.

    Abstract Mechanical circulatory support as a strategy for a bridge to a heart transplant for patients with end-stage heart failure is increasing. A heart transplant following short-term support is a challenging procedure with many particularities. In this video tutorial, we present a 44-year-old patient who was bridged to a heart transplant with biventricular short-term paracorporeal support. The patient, who had dilated non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy, suffered an arrhythmic storm and was refractory to medical treatment and multiple ablation attempts. At the time the support was initiated, he was sarcopenic due to cardiac cachexia. He received a heart from a suitable donor after 10 days on mechanical circulatory support.
