    Abstract A 46-year-old woman was troubled by a 3-year history of constant headaches and arthralgias. She was treated with paracetamol with no symptom resolution. An abnormal fasting glucose level prompted endocrine evaluation. On physical examination, she casually mentioned that her wedding ring no longer fit, and she also confirmed an increase in shoe size. There were no characteristic facial features for acromegaly and there was no evidence of acral enlargement. Biochemical evaluation, including insulin-like growth factor type 1 (IGF-1) measurement and oral glucose loading with growth hormone (GH) measurement confirmed excess GH production and a diagnosis of acromegaly. Pituitary magnetic resonance imaging showed a central pituitary microadenoma. After transsphenoidal surgical resection, tissue immunohistochemistry revealed a densely granulated somatotroph adenoma. Currently, the patient is asymptomatic with biochemical disease control, normal fasting glucose levels, and no pituitary hormone deficiencies. This patient is illustrative of a type 1 acromegaly with mild clinical manifestations. Clinicians should be aware of acromegaly subtypes to avoid delay in diagnosis and to individualize therapy.

    Abstract Self-organization and pattern formation are ubiquitous processes in nature. We study the properties of migrating banded vegetation patterns in arid landscapes, usually presenting dislocation topological defects. Vegetation patterns with dislocations are investigated in three different ecosystems. We show through remote sensing data analysis and theoretical modeling that the number of dislocations

    Abstract This article aims to reflect on the unconscious dynamics that sustain the shocking increase in feminicide in the world. It is observed that psychological and physical violence by the intimate partner has numerous facets, especially when the woman gains more or has more professional success than her partner. This violence can take a subtle form as rejection and betrayal in order to hurt the woman and destroy her self-esteem and success. Based on numerous studies and bibliography it is demonstrated that the main cause of violence by the intimate partner is the fear of the power of the feminine that has been present throughout history. Despite the evolution of women, historical violence reverberates in the 21st century as an intergenerational trauma causing great suffering in families and disturbances in interpersonal relationships.

    Abstract Nanomaterials offer new technical and commercial opportunities. However, they may also pose risks to consumers and the environment and raise concerns about occupational health and safety. An overview of the standardization in the area of nanomaterials is presented. Focus is given to the standard ISO/TS 12901-2:2014, which describes the use of a control banding approach for controlling the risks associated with occupational exposures to nano-objects and their aggregates and agglomerates greater than 100 nm. The article also presents a case study on a textile finishing company that implements two chemical finishes containing nanomaterials. A risk analysis was conducted to assess the hazards associated with workers handling nanomaterials. Control banding was applied, and measures such as appropriate ventilation and use of protective equipment are proposed to mitigate risks. In some cases, additional measures, such as a closed booth and smoke extractor, are required. The safety data sheets are a primary source of information on how to handle and care for products containing nanomaterials, but the information provided is still limited in terms of the specific hazards and risks posed by nanomaterials.

    Abstract Microfluidics has demonstrated high versatility in the analysis of in-flow particles and can even achieve mechanical properties measurements of biological cells by applying hydrodynamic forces. However, there is currently no available technique that enables the direct measurement and tracking of these hydrodynamic forces acting on a flowing particle. In this work, we introduce a novel method for the direct measurement of the hydrodynamic force actuating on an in-flow particle based on the analysis of the induced resonance changes of suspended microchannel resonators (SMRs). This hydrodynamic force sensitivity depends on the device used; therefore, we considered the geometry and materials to advance this dependency on the SMR resonance frequency.

  8. Article ; Online: Involvement of microglia in chronic neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury - a systematic review.

    Abstract In recent decade microglia have been found to have a central role in the development of chronic neuropathic pain after injury to the peripheral nervous system. It is widely accepted that peripheral nerve injury triggers microglial activation in the spinal cord, which contributes to heightened pain sensation and eventually chronic pain states. The contribution of microglia to chronic pain arising after injury to the central nervous system, such as spinal cord injury (SCI), has been less studied, but there is evidence supporting microglial contribution to central neuropathic pain. In this systematic review, we focused on post-SCI microglial activation and how it is linked to emergence and maintenance of chronic neuropathic pain arising after SCI. We found that the number of studies using animal SCI models addressing microglial activity is still small, compared with the ones using peripheral nerve injury models. We have collected 20 studies for full inclusion in this review. Many mechanisms and cellular interactions are yet to be fully understood, although several studies report an increase of density and activity of microglia in the spinal cord, both in the vicinity of the injury and in the spared spinal tissue, as well as in the brain. Changes in microglial activity come with several molecular changes, including expression of receptors and activation of signalling pathways. As with peripheral neuropathic pain, microglia seem to be important players and might become a therapeutic target in the future.

    Abstract Despite the current screening approach for Cushing syndrome (CS), delayed diagnosis is common due to broad spectrum of presentation, poor discriminant symptoms featured in diabetes and obesity, and low clinical index of suspicion. Even if initial tests are recommended to screen CS, divergent results are not infrequent. As global prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity increases, CS may not be frequent enough to back routine screening to avoid false-positive results. This represents a greater challenge in countries with limited health resources. The development of indexes incorporates clinical features and biochemical data that are largely used to provide a tool to predict the presence of disease. In clinical endocrinology, indexes have been used in Graves' ophthalmology, hirsutism, and hypothyroidism. The use of clinical risk scoring system may assist clinicians in discriminating CS in the context of at-risk populations and, thus, may provide a potential intervention to decrease time to diagnosis. Development and validation of clinical model to estimate pre-test probability of CS in different geographic source population may help to establish regional prediction model for CS. Here, we review on the latest progress in clinical risk scoring system for CS and attempt to raise awareness for the use, validation, and/or development of clinical risk scores in CS.

    Abstract Practical relevance: Being able to understand and intervene in cases of cat-cat aggression in multi-cat households is important for all veterinarians and behavior counsellors dealing with feline behavior cases.
    Clincal challenges: Feline conflicts are common, perhaps not helped by many owners' assumption that this is the norm. Interventions can be complex in multi-cat households with large numbers of cats as there are more interactions to evaluate and monitor, and care needs to be taken not to negatively affect the other cats. There may be limitations due to the environment or the people involved and so behavior guidelines should always be tailored to the individual situation.
    Aims: This article reviews the main forms of aggression in multi-cat households and the appropriate behavioral interventions, considering both the typical scenarios and emotions/motivations most likely involved. It details essential environmental management for multi-cat homes, as well as an approach to friendly cat introductions.
    Audience: This article is aimed at veterinarians dealing with feline behavior cases as well as behavior counsellors, as both professionals are likely to experience cases of aggression in multi-cat households.
    Evidence base: The author draws on the published literature where available and, where there is a lack of research, on hypotheses derived from her own clinical behavior experience.
