Article ; Online: Unveiling the Potential Distribution of the Highly Threatened Madeira Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus maderensis): Do Different Evolutionary Significant Units Exist?

Teixeira, Sérgio / Smeraldo, Sonia / Russo, Danilo

Abstract	The isolation of islands has played a significant role in shaping the unique evolutionary histories of many species of flora and fauna, including bats. One notable example is the Madeira pipistrelle (Pipistrellus maderensis), which inhabits the Macaronesian archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira, and the Canary Islands. Despite the high biogeographic and conservation importance of this species, there is limited information on its ecology and evolutionary history across different archipelagos. In our study, we employed species distribution models (SDMs) to identify suitable habitats for the Madeira pipistrelle and determine the environmental factors influencing its distribution. Additionally, we conducted molecular comparisons using mitochondrial DNA data from various Macaronesian islands. Molecular analyses provided compelling evidence for the presence of distinct Evolutionary Significant Units on the different archipelagos. We identified distinct haplotypes in the populations of Madeira and the Canary Islands, with a genetic distance ranging from a minimum of 2.4% to a maximum of 3.3% between samples from different archipelagos. In support of this, SDMs highlighted relevant dissimilarities between the environmental requirements of the populations of the three archipelagos, particularly the climatic niche. Our research demonstrates that deeper investigations that combine ecological, morphological, and genetic areas are necessary to implement tailored conservation strategies.

Abstract	84-year-old male, with a history of firearm incident with accidental gunshot shooting, and multiple projectile injuries, 40 years prior. No advanced medical treatment was required at the time. A CT was recently performed for unrelated reasons, and the scout view shows multiple projectiles, a total of 50, scattered in the thoracoabdominopelvic region as well as the lower limbs. CT angiography exposed CT's scout view of the multiple projectiles scattered. an arteriovenous fistula in posterior branches of the hypogastric artery with moderate dilations of the superior gluteal vein. The patient was completely asymptomatic and had no findings suggestive of AVF-related cardiac failure. Physical examination was unremarkable. Conservative treatment without further imagiological follow-up was decided, if patient continued asymptomatic.

Abstract	Introduction/purpose: The aim of this study was to compare two surgical revision techniques in failed trabeculectomies after 6 months. Methods: Patients diagnosed with open-angle glaucoma who underwent trabeculectomy in at least one eye with uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) after trabeculectomy performed at least 6 months before were enrolled in this prospective trial. All participants underwent a complete ophthalmological examination at baseline. Randomization was performed to one eye per patient to double-masked trabeculectomy revision or needling. Patients were examined on the first day, 7 days, 14 days, and then monthly until completing 1 year after surgical intervention. All follow-up visits included the following: patients reported ocular and systemic events, best-corrected visual acuity, IOP, slit-lamp examination, and optic disc evaluation for cup-to-disc ratio. Gonioscopy and stereoscopic optic disc photographs were taken at baseline and 12 months. After 1-year, the IOP and number of medications were compared between the groups. Absolute success criteria in the study were IOP <16 mm Hg, for 2 consecutive measurements without using a hypotensive medication. Results: Forty patients were included in this study. Among them, 38 completed 1-year follow-up (18 in revision group and 20 in needling group). The age ranged from 21 to 86 years, with a mean of 66.82 ± 13.44. At baseline, the average IOP was 21.64 ± 5.12 mm Hg (range from 14 to 38 mm Hg) in the entire group. All patients were using at least two classes of hypotensive eye drops, and 3 patients were using oral acetazolamide. The mean use of hypotensive eye drop medications was 3.11 ± 0.67 at the baseline for the entire group. In the present study, 58% of the patients presented complete success, 18% qualified success, and 24% failed in both groups. After 1-year treatment, both techniques were similar for IOP parameters and also for number of medications (p = 0.834 and p = 0.433, respectively). Regarding intra- or postoperative complications, one patient in each group needed a new surgical intervention, one in the needling group due to shallow anterior chamber and one in the revision group due to spontaneous Seidel sign, and one patient in the needling group underwent posterior revision due to fail. Conclusions: Both techniques were safe and effective for IOP control after 1 year of follow-up in patients who underwent to trabeculectomy more than 6 months before.

Abstract	Small bowel intussusception is a rare complication after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, with few cases reported, and none in the immediate post-operative period of an abdominoplasty. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman, with an history of a laparoscopic Rouxen-Y gastric bypass, who developed small bowel occlusion secondary to a retrograde jejunojejunal intussusception in the second post-operative day of an abdominoplasty. This is the first report of a small bowel intussusception after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in the post-operative period of an abdominoplasty. Doubts remain about the possible causal effect abdominoplasty might have in small bowel intussusception after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Abstract	Saccular mycotic aorto-iliac aneurysms are rare but, when ruptured, they are an important life-threatening condition. We present the case of a 52 years-old male transferred from another hospital and admitted to the emergency room with a ruptured iliac artery aneurysm. He complained of persistent fever and abdominal discomfort that swiftly established as hemorrhagic shock. Image study with computed tomographic angiography revealed a ruptured left common iliac artery saccular aneurysm. The patient was instantaneously and successfully submitted to endoaneurismorraphy of the hypogastric artery, common and external iliac artery ligation and construction of an extra anatomic bypass, right to left femorofemoral bypass. Blood culture revealed a Streptococcus anginosus and the patient received appropriate targeted antibiotics. Post-operative period was uneventful and the patient discharged ten days after admission. He has now eleven months of follow up with no intercurrences. Even though surgical approach carries a relative risk of perioperative morbidity, it is a feasible and durable solution for extreme situations like the one here described.

Abstract	Treatment of industrial wastewater is one of the biggest challenges that mankind is facing today to prevent environmental pollution and its associated adverse effects on human health. Environmentalists across the world have given a clarion call for dye degradation, wastewater treatment and their effective management in our surrounding habitats. Despite significant progress in the development of new water treatment technologies, new materials haven't matured enough for large scale industrial applications. Hence, the development of new scalable and sustainable multifunctional materials having the potential to treat wastewater and generate energy is the need of the hour. In this direction, novel 3D-flower shaped KTaO

Abstract	Background: Angiosarcoma is a rare subtype of malignant vascular tumours which has been only anecdotally described in patients submitted to lower limb revascularization. Case presentation: This paper reports a patient previously submitted to a femoropopliteal bypass using autologous great saphenous vein (GSV). Nine years after the initial surgery, a primary angiosarcoma of the thrombosed vein graft was diagnosed, requiring Conclusions: Malignant transformation of autologous vein for lower limb revascularization is extremely rare and anecdotally described in the literature. It is a poorly studied complication with an aggressive behaviour. This report further reinforces the need for early recognition of this pathology.

Abstract	Background: Venous scarring at the elbow is a common problem that can cause early and late forearm arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction in hemodialysis patients. However, any effort to prolong the long-term patency of distal vascular accesses could benefit the patient's survival, maximizing the use of restricted venous patrimony. This study aims to report a single-center experience in the recovery of distal autologous AVF with venous outflow obstruction at the elbow using different surgical techniques. Methods: Retrospective observational study of all patients treated at a single vascular access center from January 2011 to March 2022, with dysfunctional forearm AVFs presenting with outflow stenosis or occlusions at the elbow treated by open surgery, using 3 different surgical techniques. Demographics and clinically relevant data were collected. Evaluated endpoints included primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency rates at 1 and 2 years. Results: Twenty-three patients with elbow-blocked outflow forearm AVFs have been treated with a mean age of 64 ± 15 years. The majority (96%) had a radiocephalic fistula. The median time from vascular access creation to intervention was 34.5 months (12-216 months). A total of 24 procedures have been performed using 3 different surgical techniques for bypassing the obstructed venous outflow at the elbow. Technical success was achieved in 96% of the surgically treated patients. Primary and secondary patency rates at 1 year were 67.4% and 89.4%, respectively, and 52.9% and 82.0% at 2 years, with a median follow-up of 19 months (6-92 months). Conclusions: AVFs outflow stenosis or occlusions at the elbow not amenable to endovascular therapy could lead to vascular access abandonment. Our study demonstrates multiple surgical solutions to avoid this adverse outcome. Elbow venous outflow surgical reconstruction seems effective for distal vascular access preservation. Close surveillance is essential for timely endovascular treatment of newly developed stenosis at the venous drainage.
