    Abstract Pesticide degradation in wetland systems intercepting agricultural runoff is often overlooked and mixed with other dissipation processes when assessing pesticide concentrations alone. This study focused on the potential of compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) to estimate pesticide degradation in a stormwater wetland receiving pesticide runoff from a vineyard catchment. The fungicide dimethomorph (DIM), with diastereoisomers E and Z, was the prevalent pesticide in the runoff entering the wetland from June to September 2020. DIM Z, the most commonly detected isomer, exhibited a significant change (Δ(

    Abstract Biocides are added to facade paints and renders to prevent algal and fungal growth. The emissions of biocides and their transformation products from building facades during wind-driven rain can contaminate surface waters, soil, and groundwater. Although the emissions of biocide transformation products may be higher than those of the parent biocide, knowledge of the emissions of transformation products over time is scarce. Combining field- and lab-scale experiments, we showed that solar irradiation on facades controls the formation of transformation products and can be used with runoff volume to estimate the long-term emissions of terbutryn transformation products from facades.

    Abstract Terbutryn is a widely used biocide in construction materials like paint and render to prevent the growth of microorganisms, algae and fungi. Terbutryn is released from the facades into the environment during rainfall, contaminating surface waters, soil and groundwater. Knowledge of terbutryn dissipation from the facades to aquatic ecosystems is scarce. Here, we examined in laboratory microcosms degradation half-lives, formation of transformation products and carbon and nitrogen isotope fractionation during terbutryn direct (UV light with λ = 254 nm and simulated sunlight) and indirect (simulated sunlight with nitrate) photodegradation, abiotic hydrolysis (pH = 1, 7 and 13), and aerobic biodegradation (stormwater pond sediment, soil and activated sludge). Biodegradation half-lives of terbutryn were high (>80 d). Photodegradation under simulated sunlight and hydrolysis at extreme pH values indicated slow degradability and accumulation in the environment. Photodegradation resulted in a variety of transformation products, whereas abiotic hydrolysis lead solely to terbutryn-2-hydroxy in acidic and basic conditions. Biodegradation indicates degradation to terbutryn-2-hydroxy through terbutryn-sulfoxide. Compound-specific isotope analysis (CSIA) of terbutryn holds potential to differentiate degradation pathways. Carbon isotope fractionation values (ε

    Abstract Background: Major holidays such as Christmas and New Year's Eve are regular occasions for get-togethers in families and other social groups. Socially, these days are often loaded with memories and expectations but also involve the potential for interpersonal tension and conflicts and disappointments. In addition, loneliness might also be most intense during these days. All these factors might lead to the expectation of increased mental distress and subsequently increased help-seeking in psychiatric contexts resulting in emergency psychiatric contacts, psychiatric hospitalizations, and even suicidal behavior. But is there evidence for increased psychiatric emergencies and hospitalizations around the days of Christmas?
    Methods: The existing evidence is systematically reviewed here (studies in PubMed in English investigating annual and Christmas-related variations in suicide (attempts), psychiatric emergencies and hospitalizations, last search date (13.07.2022) and complemented by an analysis of acute admissions at the University Psychiatry Clinics Basel, Switzerland, around Christmas and Easter holidays compared to the other days of the year. Easter was chosen as a comparison holiday.
    Results: In 25 reviewed studies, Christmas holidays were not associated with increased utilization of emergency psychiatric services. In contrast, hospitalizations were lower on Christmas and other holidays than the rest of the year. Analyzing the annual variation of 26,088 hospitalizations in our center between 2012 and 2021 revealed the same pattern.
    Conclusion: The assumption of increased utilization of psychiatric emergency services on Christmas and other major holidays is not confirmed by multiple studies around the globe in various socio-cultural and medical settings. The study is registered in the international prospective register for systematic reviews (PROSPERO; 351057).

    Abstract Data of good methodological quality have recently become available to support prehospital use of transfusion in the severe trauma setting. Consistent with recent guidelines for the implementation of damage control resuscitation in the hospital in this setting and in the wake of numerous cohort study data from wartime medicine, they are now guided by recent guidelines for the use of freeze-dried plasma. The main difficulties to overcome in order to implement a practice are of a regulatory and logistic nature.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the hypothesis that a history of polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is associated with a more severe and damaging disease course in newly diagnosed giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients.
    Methods: Retrospective analysis of GCA patients diagnosed between 12/2006 and 05/2021. We compared vascular ultrasound findings (presence of vasculitis and vascular stenosis) in GCA patients with and without prior PMR.
    Results: 49 of 311 GCA patients (15.8%) had prior PMR in median 30.6 (IQR 7.1-67.3) months before GCA diagnosis. Patients with prior PMR had more often large vessel vasculitis (LVV) (51.0% vs 25.0%, p< 0.001) and stenosis within the vasculitic segments (18.4% vs 3.1%, p< 0.001) on ultrasound. In multivariable analysis, prior PMR remained significantly associated with LVV (OR 7.65, 95% CI 2.72-23.97, p< 0.001). Polymyalgic symptoms at GCA diagnosis in the patients without prior PMR were not associated with a higher prevalence of LVV (p= 0.156).
    Conclusion: Patients with a diagnosis of PMR before GCA diagnosis had two times more often large vessel involvement and significant more vasculitic stenoses on ultrasound examination than patients without prior PMR. Pre-existing PMR is an independent risk factor for more extensive and advanced ultrasound findings at GCA diagnosis. The contribution of subclinical vasculitis to disease associated damage has to be further studied.

    Methods: This study included patients with LV-GCA whose treatment was discontinued between 2018 and 2023. All patients underwent PET/CT and/or MRI at the time of treatment discontinuation in clinical remission. Qualitative and quantitative PET/CT scores, by measuring standardized uptake values (SUV), and semiquantitative MRI scores of the aorta and supraaortic vessels were compared between patients who relapsed within 4 months after treatment discontinuation and those who did not.
    Results: Forty patients were included (median age 67.4 years, interquartile range (IQR) 60.8-74.0; 77.5 % females). Eleven patients (27.5 %) relapsed after treatment discontinuation (time to relapse 1.9 months, IQR 1.4-3.3). Patients who relapsed were comparable to those who remained in remission with respect to the presence of active vasculitis on MRI and/or PET/CT (54.5% vs. 58.6 %, p = 1.0), the number of segments with vasculitic findings on MRI (0, IQR 0.0-1.5, vs. 2, IQR 0.0-3.0, p = 0.221) or the highest SUV artery/liver ratio on PET/CT (1.5, IQR 1.4-1.6, vs. 1.3, IQR 1.2-1.6, p = 0.505). The median number of vasculitic segments on PET/CT was 2.5 (IQR 0.5-4.5) in those with vs. 0 (IQR 0.0-1.5, p = 0.085) in those without relapse, and the PET/CT scores 4.5 (IQR 0.75-8.25) vs. 0 (IQR 0.0-3.0, p = 0.172).
    Conclusion: PET/CT or MRI at treatment stop did not predict relapse and may not be suited to guide treatment decisions in patients with LV-GCA in remission.
