    Abstract This is a case of a 37-year-old female patient with past medical history of mitral valve prolapse and benign mesothelial pericardial cyst status post laparoscopic resection who presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of right-sided sharp non-radiating chest pain due to recurrent case of benign mesothelial pericardial cyst. Though this is not a common pathology, it does overlap with common cardiovascular symptoms/conditions; not limited to but including chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations, pericardial effusions, infections and arrhythmias. It is crucial to have appropriate history and physical exam and appropriate evaluation to rule out pericardial cysts as well as their locations and their potential lethal mechanical implication on crucial nearby structures. This is significant in order to avoid uncommon but lethal cardiac complications in this condition such as cardiac arrhythmias, cardiac tamponade, right ventricular outflow tract and even sudden cardiac death.

    Abstract This is a case of a 45-year-old Caucasian female with coxsackievirus-induced myocarditis. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscles, which can be difficult to diagnose at times because its symptoms overlap with other cardiovascular diseases. At times, when the patient presents, the full impact of the etiology would have either improved or resolved. In this case, the patient presented with symptoms closely resembling that of acute coronary syndrome but did not fit the typical age category. After lab and imaging workup, the coxsackievirus panel was positive, complicated with a new diagnosis of systolic heart failure with an ejection fraction of 30%-35% along with pericardial effusion.

    Abstract Purpose: The significant proportion of asymptomatic patients and the scarcity of genotypic analysis of lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), mainly among men who have sex with men (MSM), triggers a high incidence of underdiagnosed patients, highlighting the importance of determining the most appropriate strategy for LGV diagnosis, at both clinical and economical levels.
    Materials and methods: We conducted L1-L3 serovar detection by molecular biology in stored Chlamydia trachomatis-positive samples from MSM patients with HIV, another STI or belonging to a Pre-exposure prophylaxis program, to make a cost effectiveness study of four diagnostic strategies with a clinical, molecular, or mixed approach.
    Results: A total of 85 exudates were analyzed: 35urethral (31 symptomatic/4 positive) and 50 rectal (22 symptomatic/25 positive), 70/85 belonging to MSM with associated risk factors. The average cost per patient was €77.09 and €159.55 for clinical (Strategy I) and molecular (Strategy IV) strategies respectively. For molecular diagnosis by genotyping of all rectal exudate samples previously positive for CT (Strategy II), the cost was €123.84. For molecular diagnosis by genotyping of rectal and/or urethral exudate samples from all symptomatic patients (proctitis or urethritis) with a previous positive result for CT (Strategy III), the cost was €129.39. The effectiveness ratios were 0.80, 0.95, 0.91, and 1.00 for each strategy respectively. The smallest ICER was €311.67 for Strategy II compared to Strategy I.
    Conclusions: With 30% asymptomatic patients, the most cost-effective strategy was based on genotyping all rectal exudates. With less restrictive selection criteria, thus increasing the number of patients with negative results, the most sensitive strategies tend to be the most cost-effective, but with a high incremental cost-effectiveness ratio.

    Abstract In the European Union, a rate of 11.9 cases per 100,000 was estimated in 2019.In Spain, suicide is the leading cause of external death. Social crises can have an impact on suicide rates. We analyzed changes in suicide mortality trends in Spain following the COVID-19 pandemic. We used statistical data from the National Institute of Statistics of Spain (1998-2021). We calculated age-specific rates, age and sex-adjusted rates, and analyzed trends and changes using joinpoint-regression models. Rates decrease in both sexes at the ages of 65 and older. In women, they increase in the ages of 1-29 years and 45-59 years. In men, they decrease in the ages of 15-39 years. Among women, age-adjusted rates remained stable between 1998 and 2021, with a non-significant annual decrease of 0.4 %. Among men, there was a significant annual decrease of 0.7 %. The years 2020 and 2021 had 8 % higher mortality compared to the two years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Suicide mortality in Spain slightly decreased among men and remained stable among women between 1998 and 2021, but there seems to be an increase following the COVID-19 pandemic.

  7. Article: Demand for Ecosystem Services Drive Large-Scale Shifts in Land-Use in Tropical Mountainous Watersheds Prone to Landslides

    Abstract An increasing frequency of extreme atmospheric events is challenging our basic knowledge about the resilience mechanisms that mediate the response of small mountainous watersheds (SMW) to landslides, including production of water-derived ecosystem services (WES). We hypothesized that the demand for WES increases the connectivity between lowland and upland regions, and decreases the heterogeneity of SMW. Focusing on four watersheds in the Central Andes of Colombia and combining “site-specific knowledge”, historic land cover maps (1970s and 1980s), and open, analysis-ready remotely sensed data (GLAD Landsat ARD; 1990–2000), we addressed three questions. Over roughly 120 years, the site-specific data revealed an increasing demand for diverse WES, as well as variation among the watersheds in the supply of WES. At watershed-scales, variation in the water balances—a surrogate for water-derived ES flows—exhibited complex relationships with forest cover. Fractional forest cover (pᵢ) and forest aggregation (AIᵢ) varied between the historic and current data sets, but in general showed non-linear relationships with elevation and slope. In the current data set (1990–2000), differences in the number of significant, linear models explaining variation in pᵢ with time, suggest that slope may play a more important role than elevation in land cover change. We found ample evidence for a combined effect of slope and elevation on the two land cover metrics, which would be consistent with strategies directed to mitigate site-specific landslide-associated risks. Overall, our work shows strong feedbacks between lowland and upland areas, raising questions about the sustainable production of WES.

    Abstract Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is a chronic widespread pain syndrome that is accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, lack of concentration, and neurocognitive impairment. As the currently available drugs are not completely successful against these symptoms and frequently have several side effects, many scientists have taken on the task of looking for nonpharmacological remedies. Many of the FMS-related symptoms have been suggested to be associated with an altered pattern of endogenous melatonin. Melatonin is involved in the regulation of several physiological processes, including circadian rhythms, pain, mood, and oxidative as well as immunomodulatory balance. Preliminary clinical studies have propounded that the administration of different doses of melatonin to patients with FMS can reduce pain levels and ameliorate mood and sleep disturbances. Moreover, the total antioxidant capacity, 6-sulfatoxymelatonin and urinary cortisol levels, and other biological parameters improve after the ingestion of melatonin. Recent investigations have proposed a pathophysiological relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and FMS by looking at certain proteins involved in mitochondrial homeostasis according to the etiopathogenesis of this syndrome. These improvements exert positive effects on the quality of life of FMS patients, suggesting that the use of melatonin as a coadjuvant may be a successful strategy for the management of this syndrome.
