Title translation	Intraabdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome.
Abstract	Although intraabdominal pressure (IAP) has been studied for more than 100 years, the concepts of intraabdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartmental syndrome (ACS) have only been developed as clinical entities of interest in intensive care in the last 5 years. At the first Congress on Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in December 2004, a series of definitions were established, which were published in 2006. IAH is defined as IAP ≥ 12 mmHg and is classified in four severity grades, the maximum grade being ACS, with the development of multiorgan failure. The incidence of IAH in patients in intensive care units is high, around 30% at admission and 64% in those with a length of stay of 7 days. The increase in IAP leads to reduced vascular flow to the splenic organs, increased intrathoracic pressure and decreased venous return, with a substantial reduction in cardiac output. If IAH persists, these physiopathologic episodes are followed by the development of multiorgan failure with renal, cardiocirculatory and respiratory failure and intestinal ischemia. Mortality from untreated ACS is higher than 60%. The only treatment for ACS is surgical decompression. In patients with moderate IAH, medical treatment should be optimized, based on the following measures: a) serial IAP monitoring; b) optimization of systemic perfusion and the function of the distinct systems in patients with high IAP; c) instauration of specific measures to decrease IAP; and d) early surgical decompression for refractory IAH. The application of the medical measures that can reduce IAP and early abdominal decompression in ACS improve survival in critically ill patients with IAH.

Abstract	This paper aims to analyze agreement in the assessment of external chest compressions (ECC) by 3 human raters and dedicated feedback software.While 54 volunteer health workers (medical transport technicians), trained and experienced in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), performed a complete sequence of basic CPR maneuvers on a manikin incorporating feedback software (Laerdal PC v 4.2.1 Skill Reporting Software) (L), 3 expert CPR instructors (A, B, and C) visually assessed ECC, evaluating hand placement, compression depth, chest decompression, and rate. We analyzed the concordance among the raters (A, B, and C) and between the raters and L with Cohen's kappa coefficient (K), intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), Bland-Altman plots, and survival-agreement plots.The agreement (expressed as Cohen's K and ICC) was ≥0.54 in only 3 instances and was ≤0.45 in more than half. Bland-Altman plots showed significant dispersion of the data. The survival-agreement plot showed a high degree of discordance between pairs of raters (A-L, B-L, and C-L) when the level of tolerance was set low.In visual assessment of ECC, there is a significant lack of agreement among accredited raters and significant dispersion and inconsistency in data, bringing into question the reliability and validity of this method of measurement.

Abstract	Lithium-oxygen aprotic batteries (aLOBs) are highly promising next-generation secondary batteries due to their high theoretical energy density. However, the practical implementation of these batteries is hindered by parasitic reactions that negatively impact their reversibility and cycle life.

Abstract	We report a series of calculations to elucidate one possible mechanism of SO 2 chemisorption in amino acid-based ionic liquids. Such systems have been successfully exploited as CO 2 absorbents and, since SO 2 is also a by-product of fossil fuels’ combustion, their ability in capturing SO 2 has been assessed by recent experiments. This work is exclusively focused on evaluating the efficiency of the chemical trapping of SO 2 by analyzing its reaction with the amino group of the amino acid. We have found that, overall, SO 2 is less reactive than CO 2 , and that the specific amino acid side chain (either acid or basic) does not play a relevant role. We noticed that bimolecular absorption processes are quite unlikely to take place, a notable difference with CO 2 . The barriers along the reaction paths are found to be non-negligible, around 7–11 kcal/mol, and the thermodynamic of the reaction appears, from our models, unfavorable.

Abstract	Objective: To compare pressure-volume (P-V) curves obtained with the Galileo ventilator with those obtained with the CPAP method in patients with acute lung injury (ALI) or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Design: Prospective, observational study. Setting: General critical care center. Patients and participants: Patients with ALI/ARDS and receiving mechanical ventilation. Interventions: Pressure-volume curves were obtained in random order with the CPAP technique and with the software PV Tool-2 (Galileo ventilator). Measurements and results: In ten consecutive patients, airway pressure was measured by a pressure transducer and changes in lung volume were measured by respiratory inductive plethysmography. P-V curves were fitted to a sigmoidal equation with a mean R (2) of 0.994 +/- 0.003. Intraclass correlation coefficients were all >0.75 (P < 0.001 at all pressure levels). Lower (LIP) and upper inflection (UIP), and deflation maximum curvature (PMC) points calculated from the fitted variables showed a good correlation between methods with intraclass correlation coefficients of 0.98 (0.92, 0.99), 0.92 (0.69, 0.98), and 0.97 (0.86, 0.98), respectively (P < 0.001 in all cases). Bias and limits of agreement for LIP (0.51 +/- 0.95 cmH(2)O; -1.36 to 2.38 cmH(2)O), UIP (0.53 +/- 1.52 cmH(2)O; -2.44 to 3.50 cmH(2)O), and PMC (-0.62 +/- 0.89 cmH(2)O; -2.35 to 1.12 cmH(2)O) obtained with the two methods in the same patient were clinically acceptable. No adverse effects were observed. Conclusion: The PV Tool-2 built into the Galileo ventilator is equivalent to the CPAP method for tracing static P-V curves of the respiratory system in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation.

Article: Analysis of Soil Erosion Induced by Heavy Rainfall: A Case Study from the NE Abruzzo Hills Area in Central Italy

Abstract	Soil erosion induced by heavy rainfall deeply affects landscape changes and human activities. It depends on rainfall distribution (e.g., intensity, duration, cumulative per event) and is controlled by the interactions between lithology, orography, hydrography, land use, and vegetation. The Abruzzo piedmont coastal hilly area has been affected by several heavy rainfall events in the last decades. In this work, we investigated three ~1-day heavy rainfall (>35 mm/h and 100–220 mm/day) events in 2007, 2011, and 2012 that occurred in the clayey hilly coastal NE Abruzzo area, analyzing cumulative rainfall, intensity, and duration while mapping triggered geomorphological effects (soil erosion and accumulation) and evaluating average erosion. The analysis provides contributions to a soil erosion assessment of clayey landscapes that characterizes the Adriatic hilly area, with an estimation of rainfall-triggering thresholds for heavy soil erosion and a comparison of erosion in single events with rates known in the Mediterranean area. The triggering threshold for heavy soil erosion shows an expected value of ~100–110 mm. The estimated average soil erosion is from moderate to high (0.08–3.08 cm in ~1-day heavy rainfall events) and shows a good correlation with cumulative rainfall and a poor correlation with peak rainfall intensity. This work outlines the strong impact of soil erosion on the landscape changes in the Abruzzo and Adriatic hilly areas.

Abstract	Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the effects of recombinant human activated protein C (rhAPC) on hemodynamic parameters in patients with septic shock. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 2 university-hospital critical care units. Patients with septic shock with pulmonary artery catheterization or transthoracic thermodilution monitoring were studied. We matched patients with septic shock with at least 2 organ failures (18 treated with rhAPC and 18 controls) on sex, age, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II, and sepsis etiology. We recorded norepinephrine dose and hemodynamic parameters at baseline and 24, 36, and 48 hours after the real or theoretical start of rhAPC treatment. Results: Mean arterial pressure remained stable in both groups. In rhAPC patients, norepinephrine requirements, initially higher than in controls, were significantly lower at 48 hours, and stroke volume at 24 and 48 hours improved (P < .05). Conclusion: Recombinant human activated protein C use correlated with improved hemodynamic parameters and decreased norepinephrine requirements. The retrospective nature of the study limits the strength of these findings.
