    Abstract Introduction: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a recent nosological entity defined as a chronic immune-mediated fibro-inflammatory condition characterized by a tendency to form tumefactive, tissue-destructive lesions or by organ failure. Urologic involvement in IgG4-RD has been described in some short series of patients and in isolated case reports.
    Aim: The aim of the present study was to review urologic involvement in IgG4-RD with the purpose of providing urologists with the proper background necessary for a preliminary assessment of possible urologic localization of this recent clinical entity. Indeed, patients are typically referred for immunologic management, often right after a differential diagnosis of urologic disease.
    Materials and methods: A systematic search of PubMed® for both original and review articles published up until October 2015 was performed using keywords relating to IgG4 and to single specific urologic organs, structures, or anatomic sites. The search was then extended to Google® using the same search criteria in order to identify articles not indexed in PubMed®.
    Results: IgG4-RD is a systemic condition potentially involving every urologic site. It can mimic malignancies and is often misdiagnosed due to its rarity.
    Conclusions: A multidisciplinary approach to IgG4-RD should be required because it occasionally mimics other urologic diseases, including malignancies. Therefore, urologists should perform preliminary assessments to avoid inappropriate urologic treatments.

    Abstract Strong relationships between size and other traits have long motivated studies of the size structure and dynamics of planktonic food webs. Size structured ecosystem models (SSEMs) are often used to represent the behavior of these ecosystems, with organism size as a first order approximation of the axis of biological diversity. Previous studies using SSEMs have reported the emergence of localized “peaks” in the size spectrum, a phenomenon that will be referred to in this study as “quantization”. However, SSEMs that are used routinely in Earth System Models (ESMs), they tend to be too coarsely discretized to resolve quantization. Observational studies of plankton biomass have also shown qualitatively similar patterns, with localized peaks along the size spectrum. The conditions under which quantization occurs and the ecosystem parameters that control the locations of the biomass “peaks” along the size spectrum have not been systematically explored. This study serves to simultaneously advance our understanding of the constraints on quantization in size-structured ecosystems, and to suggest an approach to discretizing SSEMs that leverages quantization to select a greatly reduced number of size classes. A size-structured model of the pelagic food web, similar to those implemented in global models, is used to investigate the sensitivity of biomass peaks to predator–prey interactions, and nutrient forcing. This study shows that the location of biomass peaks along the size spectrum is strongly controlled by the size selectivity of predation, and the location of biomass peaks along the size spectrum is less sensitive to variations in nutrient supply, external ecosystem forcing, and vertical heterogeneity. Taking advantage of a robust localization of biomass peaks, the dynamics of a continuous planktonic size spectrum to be represented using a few selected size classes, corresponding to locations of the peaks along the size spectrum. These findings offer an insight on how to approach discretization of size structured ecosystem model in Earth system models.

    Abstract Nitrogen (N) plays a central role in marine biogeochemistry by limiting biological productivity in the surface ocean; influencing the cycles of other nutrients, carbon, and oxygen; and controlling oceanic emissions of nitrous oxide (N 2 O) to the atmosphere. Multiple chemical forms of N are linked together in a dynamic N cycle that is especially active in oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), where high organic matter remineralization and low oxygen concentrations fuel aerobic and anaerobic N transformations. Biogeochemical models used to understand the oceanic N cycle and project its change often employ simple parameterizations of the network of N transformations and omit key intermediary tracers such as nitrite (NO 2 - <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="9pt" height="16pt" class="svg-formula" dspmath="mathimg" md5hash="e52d53b92c668a7e651a21ef1f24f2e5"><svg:image xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="gmd-16-3581-2023-ie00001.svg" width="9pt" height="16pt" src="gmd-16-3581-2023-ie00001.png"/></svg:svg> ) and N 2 O. Here we present a new model of the oceanic N cycle ( Nitr ogen cycling in O xygen M inimum Z ones, or NitrOMZ) that resolves N transformation occurring within OMZs and their sensitivity to environmental drivers. The model is designed to be easily coupled to current ocean biogeochemical models by representing the major forms of N as prognostic tracers and parameterizing their transformations as a function of seawater chemistry and organic matter remineralization, with minimal interference in other elemental cycles. We describe the model rationale, formulation, and numerical implementation in a one-dimensional representation of the water column that reproduces typical OMZ conditions. We further detail the optimization of uncertain model parameters against observations from the eastern tropical South Pacific OMZ and evaluate the model's ability to reproduce observed profiles of N tracers and transformation rates in this region. We conclude by describing the ...

    Abstract The present endeavor numerically exploits the use of a phase-field model to simulate and investigate fracture patterns, deformation mechanisms, damage, and mechanical responses in a human vertebra after the incision of pedicle screws under compressive regimes. Moreover, the proposed phase field framework can elucidate scenarios where different damage patterns, such as crack nucleation sites and crack trajectories, play a role after the spine fusion procedure, considering several simulated physiological movements of the vertebral body. A convergence analysis has been conducted for the vertebra-screws model, considering several mesh refinements, which has demonstrated good agreement with the existing literature on this topic. Consequently, by assuming different angles for the insertion of the pedicle screws and taking into account a few vertebral motion loading regimes, a plethora of numerical results characterizing the damage occurring within the vertebral model has been derived. Overall, the phase field results may shed more light on the medical community, which will be useful in enhancing clinical interventions and reducing post-surgery bone failure and screw loosening.

    Abstract Background: In water polo, more physical and performance variables are related to a performance in a match. The aim of our work was therefore: (a) to evaluate the relationships between anthropometric characteristics and performance tests and performance in a match in young male water polo players; (b) to propose new guidelines for match analysis.
    Methods: Multiple regression analysis was used to study the results in anthropometric evaluations (height, body mass, chest circumference, arm span, non-dominant arm length) and performance tests (push-up, chin-up, shuttle swim test, sprint swim 10 m, eggbeater kick, 100 m swimming) and two coaches' evaluations of two friendly matches using new guidelines. A total of 130 subjects (age: 15.6 ± 0.9 years) were involved in the study.
    Results: In this study, we proposed a new performance model based on multiple regression analysis (r = 0.85, r
    Conclusions: The relationships between anthropometric and performance variables and the match analysis have been statistically described. The equation found can be used to predict the overall performance of a player and permits evaluations of how much the improvement in one of the qualities can affect the players' overall performance. Moreover, the new method for match analysis we have proposed showed a good reliability and can be used for new studies on water polo.

    Abstract Climate change is increasing drought severity worldwide. Ocean discharges of municipal wastewater are a target for potable water recycling. Potable water recycling would reduce wastewater volume; however, the effect on mass nitrogen loading is dependent on treatment. In cases where nitrogen mass loading is not altered or altered minimally, this practice has the potential to influence spatial patterns in coastal eutrophication. We apply a physical-biogeochemical numerical ocean model to understand the influence of nitrogen management and potable wastewater recycling on net primary productivity (NPP), pH, and oxygen. We model several theoretical management scenarios by combining dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) reductions from 50 to 85% and recycling from 0 to 90%, applied to 19 generalized wastewater outfalls in the Southern California Bight. Under no recycling, NPP, acidification, and oxygen loss decline with DIN reductions, which simulated habitat volume expansion for pelagic calcifiers and aerobic taxa. Recycling scenarios under intermediate DIN reduction show patchier areas of pH and oxygen loss with steeper vertical declines relative to a "no recycling" scenario. These patches are diminished under 85% DIN reduction across all recycling levels, suggesting nitrogen management lowers eutrophication risk even with concentrated discharges. These findings represent a novel application of ocean numerical models to investigate the regional effects of idealized outfall management on eutrophication. Additional work is needed to investigate more realistic outfall-specific water recycling and nutrient management scenarios and to contextualize the benefit of these management actions, given accelerating acidification and hypoxia from climate change.
