Abstract	Systematic reviews (SR) produce the best evidence comparing open (RRP), laparoscopic (LRP), and robotic (RARP) radical prostatectomy (RP). However, the hyperfiltration of evidence generates very specific scenarios that reduce the power of extrapolation. To compare RP evidence regarding demographics using a new methodology called reverse systematic review (RSR). Between 2000 and 2020, 8 databases were searched for SR studies on RRP, LRP, or RARP. All references were captured and analyzed over time in 80 SR. Total of 1724 reports (n

Abstract	Objectives: To apply a new evidence-gathering methodology, called reverse systematic review (RSR), to analyse the influence of different continence classification criteria on urinary continence rates among open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP), laparoscopic RP (LRP) and robot-assisted RP (RARP). Materials and methods: A search was carried out in eight databases between 2000 and 2020 through systematic reviews (SRs) studies referring to RRP, LRP or RARP (80 SRs). All references used in these SRs were captured referring to 910 papers in an overall database called the 'EVIDENCE Database'. A total of 422 studies related to post-RP urinary continence were selected for the final analysis, totalling 782 reports referring to 193 618 patients. Results: Overall, 206 (26.4%) reports for RRP, 243 (31.0%) reports for LRP, and 333 (42.6%) reports for RARP were found. Mean overall continence rates, respectively for RRP, LRP and RARP, were: 42%, 34% and 42% at 1 month; 62%, 64% and 65% at 3 months; 73, 77 and 79% at 6 months; and 81%, 85% and 86% at 12 months. The most used criterion was 'No pad' (53.3%), followed by 'Safety pad' (19.3%), 'Not described' (10.6%), and 'No leak' (9.9%). 'No pad' showed the lowest discrepancy in continence rates in each period compared to the overall average for each technique, demonstrating less ability to influence the final results favouring any of the techniques. Conclusion: The RSR demonstrated that the 'No pad' criterion was the most used in the literature and showed the lowest bias capable of influencing the results and favouring any of the techniques and is the fairest option for future comparisons.

Abstract	This paper presents an efficient and reliable approach to study the low-velocity impact response of woven composite shells using 3D finite element models that account for the physical intralaminar and interlaminar progressive damage. The authors' previous work on the experimental assessment of the effect of thickness on the impact response of semicylindrical composite laminated shells served as the basis for this paper. Therefore, the finite element models were put to the test in comparison to the experimental findings. A good agreement was obtained between the numerical predictions and experimental data for the load and energy histories as well as for the maximum impact load, maximum displacement, and contact time. The use of the mass-scaling technique was successfully implemented, reducing considerably the computing cost of the solutions. The maximum load, maximum displacement, and contact time are negligibly affected by the choice of finite element mesh discretization. However, it has an impact on the initiation and progression of interlaminar damage. Therefore, to accurately compute delamination, its correct definition is of upmost importance. The validation of these finite element models opens the possibility for further numerical studies on of woven composite shells and enables shortening the time and expenses associated with the experimental testing.

Abstract	A novel versatile, easily recoverable, and recyclable material platform is herein presented, consisting of multicomponent oxide microspheres, of silica-titania and silica-titania-hafnia composition, with tailored interconnected macroporosity (MICROSCAFS®). When functionalized or loaded with desired species, they are potential enablers of emerging applications in environmental remediation, among other fields. We combine emulsion templating for the spherical shape of the particles, with an adapted sol-gel technique involving polymerization-induced phase separation by spinodal decomposition. An advantage of our method regards the employed mix of precursors, which prevents the use of specific gelation additives and porogens and allows a high reproducibility of MICROSCAFS®. We present insight into their formation mechanism using cryo-scanning electron microscopy, and a systematic study of the effect of multiple synthesis parameters on the MICROSCAFS® size and porosity. The composition of the silicon precursors has the most significant effect on fine-tuning the pores size, ranging from the nanometer to the micron scale. Mechanical properties are correlated with morphological features. Larger macroporosity (68% open porosity, estimated by X-ray computed tomography) leads to less stiffness, higher elastic recovery, and compressibility values up to 42%. We believe this study creates a base for consistent custom MICROSCAFS® production, with a design for various future applications.

Abstract	The post-genomic era has raised a growing demand for efficient procedures to identify protein functions, which can be accomplished by applying machine learning to the characteristics set extracted from the protein. This approach is feature-based and has been the focus of several works in bioinformatics. In this work, we investigated the characteristics of proteins, representing the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of the protein, that improve the model's quality by applying dimensionality reduction techniques and using the Support Vector Machine classifier for predicting the enzymes' classes. During the investigation, two approaches were evaluated: feature extraction/transformation, which was performed using the statistical technique Factor Analysis, and feature selection methods. For feature selection, we proposed an approach based on a genetic algorithm to face the optimization conflict between the simplicity and reliability of an ideal representation of the characteristics of the enzymes and also compared and employed other methods for this purpose. The best result was accomplished using a feature subset generated by our implementation of a multi-objective genetic algorithm enriched with features that this work identified as relevant to represent the enzymes. This subset representation reduced the dataset by about 87% and reached 85.78% of F-measure performance, improving the overall quality of the model classification. In addition, we verified in this work a subset addressed with only 28 features out of a total of 424 that reached a performance above 80% of F-measure for four of the six evaluated classes, showing that satisfactory classification performance can be achieved with a reduced number of enzymes's characteristics. The datasets and implementations are openly available.

Abstract	Introduction: Vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OXT) are neuropeptides produced by magnocellular neurons (MCNs) of the hypothalamus and secreted through neurohypophysis to defend mammals against dehydration. It was recently demonstrated that MCNs also project to limbic structures, modulating several behavioral responses. Methods and results: We found that 24 h of water deprivation (WD) or salt loading (SL) did not change exploration or anxiety-like behaviors in the elevated plus maze (EPM) test. However, rats deprived of water for 48 h showed reduced exploration of open field and the closed arms of EPM, indicating hypoactivity during night time. We evaluated mRNA expression of glutamate decarboxylase 1 (Gad1), vesicular glutamate transporter 2 (Slc17a6), AVP (Avpr1a) and OXT (Oxtr) receptors in the lateral habenula (LHb), basolateral (BLA) and central (CeA) amygdala after 48 h of WD or SL. WD, but not SL, increased Oxtr mRNA expression in the CeA. Bilateral pharmacological inhibition of OXTR function in the CeA with the OXTR antagonist L-371,257 was performed to evaluate its possible role in regulating the EPM exploration or water intake induced by WD. The blockade of OXTR in the CeA did not reverse the hypoactivity response in the EPM, nor did it change water intake induced in 48-h water-deprived rats. Discussion: We found that WD modulates exploratory activity in rats, but this response is not mediated by oxytocin receptor signaling to the CeA, despite the upregulated Oxtr mRNA expression in that structure after WD for 48 h.

Abstract	The effect of the interface stiffness and interface strength on the low-velocity impact response of woven-fabric semicylindrical composite shells is studied using finite element (FE) models generated with continuum shell elements and cohesive surfaces. The intralaminar damage is accounted for using the constitutive model provided within the ABAQUS software, while the interlaminar is addressed utilising cohesive surfaces. The results show that the interface stiffness has a negligible effect on the force and energy histories for values between 10 <semantics> 1 </semantics> N/mm <semantics> 3 </semantics> and 2.43 × 10 <semantics> 6 </semantics> N/mm <semantics> 3 </semantics> . However, it has a significant impact on the delamination predictions. It is observed that only the normal interface strength affects the maximum impact force and the delamination predictions. Increasing its value from 15 MPa to 30 MPa resulted in an 8% growth in the maximum force, and a substantial reduction in the delaminated area. The obtained results serve as guidelines for the accurate and efficient computation of delamination. The successful validation of the FE models establishes a solid foundation for further numerical investigations and offers the potential to significantly reduce the time and expenses associated with experimental testing.

Abstract	The impact of diet composition and energy content on schistosomiasis evolution and treatment efficacy is still controversial. This study compared the impact of sucrose-rich diet and intermittent fasting on Schistosoma mansoni infection and praziquantel (PZQ)-based chemotherapy response in mice. BALB/c mice were infected with S. mansoni and followed for 15 weeks. The animals were randomized into nine groups receiving high glycemic load (high-sucrose diet - HSD), low caloric load (standard chow alternate-day fasting - ADF), and standard chow ad libitum (AL). Eight weeks after S. mansoni infection, these groups remained untreated or were treated with PZQ (300 mg/kg/day) for 3 days. Our results indicated that parasite load (S. mansoni eggs and parasite DNA levels), granulomatous inflammation (granulomas number and size), and liver microstructural damage (reduction in hepatocytes number, increase in nucleus-cytoplasm ratio, connective stroma expansion and fibrosis) were increased in ADF-treated animals. These animals also showed decreased eggs retention, granulomatous inflammation and collagen accumulation in the small intestine. Conversely, HSD diet and PZQ treatment attenuated all these parameters and stimulated hepatic regenerative response. PZQ also stimulated fibrosis resolution in HSD-treated mice, effect that was limited ADF-exposed mice. Our findings indicate that dietary glycemic and energy load can modulate schistosomiasis progression and the severity of hepatic and intestinal granulomatous inflammation in untreated and PZQ-treated mice. Thus, lower intestinal eggs retention may potentially be linked to worsening liver disease in ADF, while attenuation of hepatic and intestinal granulomatous inflammation is consistent with reduced parasite load in HSD- and PZQ-treated animals.
