    Abstract Background: Chest-to-arm (CTA) tunneling technique has been described recently as an alternative option to exit site of the catheter in the infraclavicular area.
    Method: We report our experience with ultrasound-guided centrally inserted central catheters (CICCs) placed using CTA tunneling in six neonates. All central venous catheters were positioned with ultrasound guidance and real-time tip location.
    Results: There were no insertion-related complications; all devices were correctly positioned at the first attempt. During the follow-up, we found no catheter-related thrombosis, infections, or catheter malfunction. No tip position-related complications. Only one case of secondary malposition was reported.
    Conclusion: In our experience, the CTA tunneling technique is reliable, safe, and feasible in the neonate even from the first hours of life, as well as for preterm newborns; it could be a valid alternative to the usual exit site.

    Abstract Women who survived childhood cancers or cancers at a young age are at high risk for breast cancer later in life. The accentuated risk is notable among those treated at a young age with a high radiation dose but also extends to survivors treated with therapies other than or in addition to radiation therapy. The predisposing risk factors are complex. Advances in radiation therapy continue to curtail exposure, yet the risk of a second cancer has no dose threshold and a long latency period, and concurrent use of chemotherapy may have an additive effect on long-term risk of cancer. Early screening with annual mammography and MRI is recommended for chest radiation exposure of 10 Gy or greater, beginning 8 years after treatment or at age 25 years, whichever is later. However, there is a lack of recommendations for those at high risk without a history of radiation therapy. Because mortality after breast cancer among survivors is higher than in women with de novo breast cancer, and because there is a higher incidence of a second asynchronous breast cancer in survivors than that in the general population, regular screening is essential and is expected to improve mortality. However, awareness and continuity of care may be lacking in these young patients and is reflected in their poor screening attendance. The transition of care from childhood to adulthood for survivors requires age-targeted and lifelong strategies of education and risk prevention that are needed to improve long-term outcomes for these patients.

    Abstract In this paper, we review the social determinants of health in older adults and their complex interrelationship with medical diseases. Also, we provide recommendations to address these determinants in the integrated healthcare plan. The social determinants in older adults and its influence in health outcomes have been studied for decades. There is solid evidence for the interrelationship between social factors and the health of individuals and populations; however, these studies are unable to define their complex interrelatedness. Health is quite variable and depends on multiple biological and social factors such as genetics, country of origin, migrant status, etc. On the other hand, health status can affect social factors such as job or education. Addressing social determinants of health in the integrated healthcare plan is important for improving health outcomes and decreasing existing disparities in older adult health. We recommend a person-centered approach in which individualized interventions should be adopted by organizations to improve the health status of older adults at the national and global level. Some of our practical recommendations to better address the social determinants of health in clinical practice are EHR documentation strategies, screening tools, and the development of linkages to the world outside of the clinic and health system, including social services, community activities, collaborative work, and roles for insurance companies.

    Abstract The application of organic amendments to agricultural soils enables the recycling of nutrients, further reducing the inputs of synthetic fertilizers for crop production. However, the production of N₂O emissions is a concern that arises from such a practice. A 35 d incubation experiment was conducted with soils receiving three contrasting types of biosolids — mesophilic anaerobic digested (BM), composted (BC), and alkaline-stabilized (BA) — at four water-filled pore spaces (WFPS): 28%, 40%, 52%, and 64%. A zero-N-addition control was also evaluated. Across all the three types of biosolids, N₂O production increased with soil moisture content, with BM and BC producing the overall highest N₂O fluxes. The most intense pulses of N₂O production were exhibited by BC at the beginning of the incubation. The highest cumulative N₂O production was found with 64% WFPS and from BC- (409 μg N₂O–N·kg⁻¹ soil) or BM-amended soils (390 μgN₂O–N·kg⁻¹ soil), which produced more than four and two times the emissions from the control and BA-amended soils at 64% WFPS, respectively. We also found the highest nitrification rates in the BM- and BC-amended soils. The total N₂O production was exponentially associated with the NO₃⁻–N concentration present at the end of the experiment (R² = 0.83). Changes in the concentration of the soil available N indicated the occurrence of mineralization, nitrification, and denitrification over the incubation. These results provided insight into the interacting responses of N₂O production to soil moisture contents, biosolids treatment stabilization and properties, and soil N availability.

    Abstract Adding nitrogen fertilizers to agricultural soils contributes to increasing concentrations of nitrous oxide (N₂O) in the atmosphere. However, the impacts of N addition on soil organic matter (SOM) turnover, SOM availability, and the ensuing SOM‐derived N₂O emissions remain elusive. Within this context, the net change in direction and rate of SOM‐derived N₂O production triggered by added N is termed the N₂O priming effect. This incubation study examined the sources and priming of N₂O production as a function of urea addition and multiple moisture contents in a soil with high SOM (55 g organic C kg⁻¹). We assessed four water‐filled pore space (WFPS) conditions: 28, 40, 52, and 64%. Relative to controls receiving no N, urea addition increased N₂O production by 2.6 times (P < .001). Cumulative N₂O production correlated well with nitrification rates (r = .75; P = .03). We used ¹⁵N‐labeled urea to trace the added urea into N₂O. Of the N added via urea, the recovery as N₂O–N shifted from 0.02 to 0.17% when WFPS increased from 28 to 64% (P < .05). We also partitioned the N₂O production into urea vs. SOM sources. More N₂O was sourced from SOM than urea, with 59 ± 2% N₂O originating from SOM. The magnitude of SOM‐derived N₂O under urea was larger than that of the control, revealing that positive N₂O priming was triggered by urea addition. Upon subtracting the controls, the primed N₂O was a consistent 19 ± 2% of the total N₂O produced by urea‐amended soils. Nevertheless, the priming magnitude rose sharply with increasing moisture by more than one order of magnitude from 4 to 48 μg N₂O–N kg⁻¹ soil and in exponential mode (R² = .98). Soil moisture, SOM, and nitrification interacted to drive the sources and priming of N₂O.

    Abstract Broccoli sprouts are a recognized source of health-promoting compounds, such as glucosinolates, glucoraphanin, and sulforaphane (SFN). Maximization of SFN content can be achieved by technological processing. We investigated the effect of blanching conditions to determine the optimal treatment that maximizes sulforaphane content in broccoli sprouts. Broccoli seeds (cv. Traditional) grown under controlled conditions were harvested after 11 days from germination and subjected to different blanching conditions based on a central composite design with temperature and time as experimental factors. Results were analyzed by ANOVA followed by a Tukey test. The optimum conditions were identified through response surface methodology. Blanching increased sulforaphane content compared with untreated sprouts, agreeing with a decrease in total glucosinolates and glucoraphanin content. Temperature significantly affected SFN content. Higher temperatures and shorter immersion times favor glucoraphanin hydrolysis, thus increasing SFN content. The optimum conditions were blanching at 61 °C for 4.8 min, resulting in 54.3 ± 0.20 µmol SFN/g dry weight, representing a 3.3-fold increase with respect to untreated sprouts. This is the highest SFN content reported for sprouts subjected to any treatment so far. The process described in this work may contribute to developing functional foods and nutraceuticals that provide sulforaphane as an active principle.
