Nomada lepida Cresson 1863
No full textNomada lepida Cresson 1863 (ruficornis group: bidentate mandible) County records: Lake, Livingston, Manistee, St. Clair, Van Buren, Washtenaw, Wexford. Notes. Scott et al. (2011) noted that type material of this species from Colorado and Illinois may not be conspecific and could not confirm presence in Colorado of material matching N. lepida from the eastern United States as described by Mitchell (1962) and identified by that author. They therefore removed this species from the fully confirmed Colorado state list. However, the male lectotype in the ANSP designated by Cresson (1916) was collected in Pike’s Peak, Colorado, making that occurrence correct by definition. The type series of lepida may prove to have been composite, and this would explain failure by Scott et al. (2011) to confirm non-type lepida from Colorado that match this species sensu Mitchell (1962) and as identified by subsequent bee specialists working on the eastern fauna. If lepida sensu Mitchell (1962) do diverge from the Colorado lectotype, then populations from the eastern United States, including Michigan, may require description as a new species unless another name is found to be applicable.Published as part of Gibbs, Jason, Ascher, John S., Rightmyer, Molly G. & Isaacs, Rufus, 2017, The bees of Michigan (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila), with notes on distribution, taxonomy, pollination, and natural history, pp. 1-160 in Zootaxa 4352 (1) on page 60, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4352.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/106385

A. G. Humes; <b>Paratype:</b> RMNH Coel. no. 6704, same collection data.</p> <p> <b>Description.</b> The holotype is 40 mm high; its stalk splits three times, 15 mm above the colony attachment to the substratum. The first branch is 14 mm long, the second is 24 mm long and splits at its distal part, the third is 22 mm long and splits four times. They are all 5 mm wide at their base and at their uppermost part. The polyp body is up to 16 mm long, and the tentacles up to 12 mm long, featuring three rows of pinnules on each side, with approximately 28–34 pinnules in the outermost row. Most of the polyps are extended, and the arrangement of the pinnules is irregular, with the total number of pinnules reaching 40 and more. The pinnules are relatively slender, up to 0.24 mm long and 0.16 mm wide, with spacing of half a pinnule-width up to 2 pinnule-widths between adjacent pinnules. Sclerites are not present in any part of the colony.

The pinnules are relatively slender, up to 0.50 mm long and 0.16 mm wide, 24–32 in the outermost row with spacing of no gap up to half a pinnule-width between adjacent pinnules. As in the holotype, no sclerites were found in the paratype. The ethanol-preserved paratype is light beige.</p> <p> <b>Remarks</b>. The current findings correspond to the original description of <i>X. lepida</i>, except for the latter referring to sclerites 0.009 mm in diameter in the stalk and 0.015 mm long in the polyps, visible only under a polarizing microscope. The two measurements most probably refer to symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae), which confused the author, rather than to the sclerites. In the current study no sclerites were found in any part of the colony.</p> <p> <b>Similar species and conclusion.</b> Both <i>X. sansibariana</i> and <i>X. lepida</i> feature a similar number of pinnules in the outermost row and lack sclerites in all parts of the colony. They differ in the number of pinnule rows (4 <i>vs</i>. 3, respectively) and thus should be considered as separate. The original description of <i>X. lepida</i> by Verseveldt (1971) mentioned its similarity to <i>X. distorta</i> Tixier-Durivault, 1966. For the purpose of the current study, inquiries made to the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris (MNHN) indicated that the type most probably got lost and therefore regrettably could not be compared to <i>X. lepida</i>.</p> <p> <b>Distribution.</b> Indian Ocean: Madagascar, Indonesia: Lembeh Strait.</p>Published as part of <i>Halász, Anna, Mcfadden, Catherine S., Toonen, Robert & Benayahu, Yehuda, 2019, Re-description of type material of Xenia Lamarck, 1816 (Octocorallia: Xeniidae), pp. 201-239 in Zootaxa 4652 (2)</i> on page 216, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4652.2.1, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/3363653">http://zenodo.org/record/3363653</a>
Cardiac dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
No full textPulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined as the elevation of mean pulmonary artery pressure above 25 mm Hg. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rather uncommon condition, while in the vast majority of patients with PH, elevated pressures in the pulmonary circulation are secondary to lung or heart disease, mainly chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and left failure with reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF and HFpEF respectively). Τhe reported prevalence of PH in COPD patients varies depending on the severity of the disease and the selected definition of PH. Accumulating data suggest that in approximately 90% of patients with severe disease mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was more than 20 mm Hg, with most ranging between 20 and 35 mm Hg, while 3% to 5% of patients demonstrated mPAP > 35 to 40 mm Hg. Severe PH in COPD may be disproportionate to the degree of impairment of lung function. At the other end of the spectrum, in mild COPD and smokers with normal lung function, functional and structural changes of the pulmonary vascular bed have been documented. The pathogenesis of PH in COPD is multifactorial but not fully unfolded: it involves hypoxia, airway obstruction, a direct tobacco effect, and inflammation inducing vascular remodelling, and is associated with comorbidities, i.e. sleepdisorders, thromboembolism and left heart disease. Left heart disease is a well-known but often underdiagnosed co-morbidity of COPD. Pulmonary hypertension is a common complication of left heart disease and often related to disease severity, especially to HFpEF. Regardless of the aetiology of PH in COPD, severe PH is associated with an impaired outcome in such patients, and pulmonary artery pressure is the single most important predictor of mortality in COPD. Although the clinical diagnosis of PH in COPD is notoriously difficult and early diagnosis may potentially be beneficial in such patients, there are no clear guidelines for early or routine screening programmes in COPD.This prospective study aimed to look at the incidence and impact of PH as detected by echocardiography in COPD patients either stable or on exacerbation, and the interaction, ifany, between PH and left heart disease in COPD. Methods. All consecutive patients admitted either to the ICU or the Respiratory medicine ward of our hospital during one year-period (October 1, 2010- September 30, 2011) diagnosed with COPD exacerbation were eligible for the study. During the same time period we also enrolled consecutive stable COPD outpatients who gave their consent to take part in the study. Clinical evaluation: All patients underwent clinical examination, chest x-ray and electrocardiogram, and echocardiography examination was performed. Patients withechocardiographic evidence of left heart disease (valvular or structural), with abnormal ECG, as well as patients with normal findings but symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease underwent a coronary angiography when indicated. The diagnosis of COPD was based on smoking history for at least 20 pack-years, the presence of symptoms compatible with COPD (dyspnea at rest or on exertion, coughing with or without sputum production, progressive limitation of activity), airflow limitation (postbronchodilator FEV1/FVC 25 breaths/min), paradoxical breathing andineffective cough. Patients in a stable stage underwent spirometry during their scheduled visit.Spirometric assessments were conducted in accordance with the American Thoracic Society–European Respiratory Society guidelines. Regarding patients with COPD exacerbation, the last spirometry, if performed in stable condition within the last 6 months before admission, was used. All patients were categorized regarding the stage of the severity of COPD based on the results of the spirometry according to international guidelines to the four COPD-GOLD stages. Echocardiographic examination: All out-hospital patients with stable COPD underwent echocardiography evaluation during routine examination. All patients with exacerbation of COPD underwent echocardiographical examination just after stabilisation (within the first 1-4 days after admission). Echo data was digitally recorded and the systolic function of the right (RV) and left ventricle (LV) function, as well as the presence of severe valvulopathy of the tricuspid, mitral and aortic valve, were assessed independently by two experienced echocardiographers and in case of disagreement an evaluation of the images was performed by a third echocardiographer. The presence of left heart failure was based upon echocardiographic criteria and defined as left heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) when evidence of heart failure was associated with a reduced ejection fraction of the left ventricle, and as left heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) when evidence of heart failure was associated with preserved ejection fraction with an abnormal pattern of mitral inflow pattern, i.e. E and A wave types, tissue velocities (e’), increased E/e’ ratio or increased atrial volume index (above 34mL/m2). Patients were evaluated by echocardiography for the presence of PH and/or right heart failure based on the maximum velocity of tricuspid regurgitation, TAPSE, dilatation and systolic dysfunction of RV, an increased RV end diastolic area to LV end diastolic area ratio (RVEDA/LVEDA ratio) in apical 4 chamber view and a dilatation of the right atrium andinferior vena cava. The likelihood of the presence of PH was based on echocardiographic findingsaccording to ESC guidelines. The presence of PH was characterized as likely when velocity oftricuspid regurgitation exceeded 3.4m/s, possible if velocity was 2.9-3.4m/s or ≤ 2.8m/s but with additional echocardiographic findings suggestive of PH, and unlikely if tricuspid regurgitation velocity was ≤ 2.8m/s with no other findings suggestive of PH. Patients with likely/possible PH according to echo criteria underwent right heart catheterization (RHC), if a written consent form was obtained, to confirm its presence and to further evaluate its cause and severity. In patients with confirmed PH and increased pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) above 15mmHg in RHC, left heart disease is considered to be the cause of the PH. In these patients the diastolic pulmonary difference (DPD) was calculated. Patients with DPD 15 mm Hg indicating PH is due to left heart disease (diastolicdysfunction was present in all 11 patients; in 5 of them systolic dysfunction was also present).Based on the DPD between the 11 patients, 6 demonstrated post-capillary PH (DPD 35 έως 40 mm Hg. Η σοβαρή PH στη ΧΑΠ μπορεί να είναι δυσανάλογη σε σχέση με το βαθμό απομείωσης της πνευμονικής λειτουργίας. Στην ήπια ΧΑΠ και στους καπνιστές με φυσιολογική πνευμονική λειτουργία, έχουν τεκμηριωθεί λειτουργικές και δομικές αλλαγές της πνευμονικής αγγειακής κοίτης. Η παθογένεση της PH στη ΧΑΠ είναι πολυπαραγοντική και περιλαμβάνει την υποξία, την πνευμονική αγγειοσύσπαση, την άμεση επίδραση καπνού και τηφλεγμονή που προκαλεί αγγειακή αναδιαμόρφωση και σχετίζεται με τις συννοσηρότητες της ΧΑΠ,δηλαδή διαταραχές ύπνου, θρομβοεμβολική νόσο και αριστερές καρδιακές παθήσεις. Η αριστερήκαρδιακή νόσος είναι μια συνήθης αλλά συχνά υποδιαγνωσμένη συννοσηρότητα της ΧΑΠ που μπορεί να προκαλέσει πνευμονική υπέρταση, ανάλογη με τη βαρύτητα της νόσου. Ανεξάρτητα από την αιτιολογία της ΡΗ στη ΧΑΠ, η σοβαρή ΡΗ σχετίζεται με αρνητική έκβαση σε αυτούς τους ασθενείς αφού είναι ο σημαντικότερος προγνωστικός δείκτης θνητότητας στη ΧΑΠ. Παρόλο που η κλινική διάγνωση της ΡΗ στη ΧΑΠ είναι δύσκολη, η έγκαιρη διάγνωση μπορεί ενδεχομένως να είναι επωφελής σε αυτούς τους ασθενείς. Ο σκοπός της μελέτης μας ήταν η διερεύνηση της συχνότητας της πνευμονικής υπέρτασης και της αριστερής καρδιακής ανεπάρκειας σε δυο διακριτές ομάδες ασθενών με ΧΑΠ (σταθερή νόσος είτε σε έξαρση) και η μελέτη της αλληλεπίδρασης της PH με την αριστερή καρδιακή νόσο καθώς και των επιπτώσεων αυτών στην έκβαση των ασθενών με ΧΑΠ.Υλικό και Μέθοδος. Όλοι οι διαδοχικοί ασθενείς που εισήχθησαν στη ȂΕΘ ή στην Πνευμονολογική Κινική του Νοσοκομείου μας κατά τη διάρκεια ενός έτους (1 Οκτωβρίου 2010 - 30 Σεπτεμβρίου 2011), με παροξυσμό ΧΑΠ, ήταν επιλέξιμοι για τη μελέτη. Ȁατά την ίδια χρονική περίοδο μελετήθηκαν επίσης διαδοχικοί ασθενείς με ΧΑΠ σε σταθερή νόσο οι οποίοι προσήλθαν σε τακτικά εξωτερικά ιατρεία και έδωσαν τη συγκατάθεσή τους να λάβουν μέρος στη μελέτη. Μέθοδος: Όλοι οι ασθενείς υποβλήθηκαν σε κλινική εξέταση, ακτινογραφία θώρακα, ΗΚΓ καιυπερηχοκαρδιογραφική εξέταση. Οι ασθενείς με υπερηχοκαρδιογραφικές ενδείξεις αριστερήςκαρδιακής νόσου (βαλβιδικής ή δομικής), με μη φυσιολογικό ΗΚΓ, καθώς και ασθενείς με φυσιολογικά ευρήματα, αλλά συμπτώματα που υποδήλωναν στεφανιαία νόσο, υποβλήθηκαν σε στεφανιογραφία όταν υπήρχε ένδειξη. Η διάγνωση της ΧΑΠ βασίστηκε στο ιστορικό του καπνίσματος (τουλάχιστον 20 πακέτα-έτη), στη παρουσία συμπτωμάτων συμβατών με τη ΧΑΠ (δύσπνοια σε κατάσταση ηρεμίας ή κατά τη άσκηση, βήχας με ή χωρίς παραγωγή πτυέλων, προοδευτικός περιορισμός της δραστηριότητας), στο περιορισμό της ροής αέρα (μετά βρογχοδιαστολή FEV1/FVC 25 αναπνοές/min, εργώδη αναπνοή και αναποτελεσματικό βήχα. Οι ασθενείς σε σταθερό στάδιο υποβλήθηκαν σε σπιρομέτρηση κατά την προγραμματισμένη επίσκεψή τους. Τα αποτελέσματα αξιολογήθηκαν σύμφωνα με τις κατευθυντήριες οδηγίες της American Thoracic Society–European Respiratory Society. Όσον αφορά τους ασθενείς με παροξυσμό ΧΑΠ, χρησιμοποιήθηκε η τελευταία σπιρομέτρηση, σε σταθερή κατάσταση τους τελευταίους 6 μήνεςπριν από την εισαγωγή. Όλοι οι ασθενείς κατηγοριοποιήθηκαν με βάση τα αποτελέσματα τηςσπιρομέτρησης σε ένα από τα τέσσερα στάδια της ΧΑΠ σύμφωνα με τις διεθνείς οδηγίες της GOLD. Υπερηχοκαρδιογραφική εξέταση: Όλοι οι εξωτερικοί ασθενείς με σταθερή ΧΑΠ υποβλήθηκαν σευπερηχοκαρδιογραφική αξιολόγηση κατά τη διάρκεια της προγραμματισμένης εξέτασης. Στουςασθενείς με παροξυσμό ΧΑΠ η υπερηχοκαρδιογραφική αξιολόγηση έγινε αμέσως μετά τησταθεροποίηση της νόσου (1-4 ημέρες μετά την εισαγωγή). Καταγράφηκαν, η συστολική λειτουργία της δεξιάς (RV) και της αριστερής κοιλίας (LV), καθώς και η παρουσία σοβαρής βαλβιοπάθειας (τηςτριγλώχινας, της μιτροειδούς και της αορτικής βαλβίδας) και αξιολογήθηκαν ανεξάρτητα από δύοέμπειρους υπερηχοκαρδιογραφιστές ή τρίτος σε ασυμφωνία. Η αριστερή καρδιακή ανεπάρκειαχαρακτηρίστηκε ως ανεπάρκεια με μειωμένο κλάσμα εξώθησης (HFrEF) όταν συσχετίστηκε με έναμειωμένο κλάσμα εξώθησης της αριστερής κοιλίας και ως αριστερή καρδιακή ανεπάρκεια μεδιατηρημένο κλάσμα εξώθησης (HFpEF) όταν συσχετίστηκε με διατηρημένο κλάσμα εξώθησης, με ένα μη φυσιολογικό πρότυπο mitral inflow pattern, π.χ. τύπους κυμάτων Ε και Α, tissue velocities (e’), αυξημένη αναλογία Ε/e’ ή αυξημένο atrial volume index ( πάνω από 34mL/m2). Οι ασθενείς αξιολογήθηκαν υπερηχοκαρδιογραφικά για την παρουσία ΡΗ ή/και δεξιάς καρδιακής ανεπάρκειας με βάση τη μέγιστη ταχύτητα παλινδρόμησης της τριγλώχινας, το TAPSE, τη διαστολική και συστολική δυσλειτουργίας της RV, τον αυξημένο λόγο RVEDA/LVEDA στην κορυφαία τομή 4 κοιλοτήτων, τη διάταση του δεξιού κόλπου και της κάτω κοίλης φλέβας. Η κατηγοριοποίηση της ΡΗ βασίστηκε στα υπερηχογραφικά ευρήματα της ESC. Η ΡΗ χαρακτηρίστηκε ως likely όταν η ταχύτητα παλινδρόμησης της τριγλώχινας ήταν μεγαλύτερη από 3,4 m/s, possible όταν η ταχύτητα ήταν 2,9-3,4 m/s ή ≤ 2,8 m/s, αλλά με επιπρόσθετα υπερηχοκαρδιογραφικά ευρήματα που υποδήλωναν PH και unlikely όταν η ταχύτητα παλινδρόμησης της τριγλώχινας ήταν ≤ 2,8 m/s, χωρίς άλλα ευρήματα που να υποδήλωνουν PH. Οι ασθενείς με likely/possible ΡΗ, υποβλήθηκαν σε καθετηριασμό της δεξιάς καρδιάς (RHC), με στόχο την επιβεβαίωση της PH την εκτίμηση της βαρύτητας της αλλά και την διερεύνηση της αιτίας της. Στους ασθενείς με επιβεβαιωμένη ΡΗ και PAOP > 15 mm Hg στο RHC, η αιτία της ΡΗ θεωρήθηκε ότι είναι η αριστερή καρδιακή νόσος. Σε αυτούς τους ασθενείς υπολογίστηκε η διαστολική πνευμονική διαφορά (DPD) και κατηγοριοποιήθηκαν ως ασθενείς με μεμονωμένη μετα-τριχοειδική PH εάν είχαν DPD 15mm Hg. Η διαστολική δυσλειτουργία ήταν παρούσα και στους 11 ασθενείς ενώ σε 5 από αυτούς συνυπήρχε και συστολική δυσλειτουργία. Ȃε βάση την DPD μεταξύ των 11 ασθενών, οι 6 είχαν μετατριχοειδική ΡΗ (DPD < 7mm Hg) και 5 συνδυασμένη προ- και μετατριχοειδική PH (DPD ≥ 7 mm Hg). Ȁατά το χρονικό διάστημα της παρακολούθησης που ανήλθε στους 6 μήνες απεβίωσαν συνολικά 18/52 ασθενείς της ομάδας Β (θνητότητα 34,6%), οι 10/18 κατά τη διάρκεια της νοσηλείας (ενδονοσοκομειακή θνητότητα, 19,2%) και οι 8/18 εντός του εξαμήνου. Μεταξύ των ασθενών της ομάδας Β, η παρουσία possible/likely ΡΗ βάσει των υπερηχοκαρδιογραφικών κριτηρίων της ESC συσχετίστηκε με στατιστικά σημαντική αύξηση της θνητότητας σε σύγκριση με εκείνους με unlikely PH (log Rank test chi square 6.7, p=0.009).Συμπεράσματα. Συμπερασματικά, η χρήση των υπερηχογραφικών κριτηρίων της ESC για την ύπαρξη PH φαίνεται να είναι επαρκής για τη συστηματική εξέταση των ασθενών με ΧΑΠ. Οι ασθενείς μεπαρόξυνση ΧΑΠ και possible/likely PH με βάση τα υπερηχογραφικά κριτήρια της ESC, αποδεικνύεταιότι έχουν αυξημένη θνητότητα σε σύγκριση με τους ασθενείς με unlikely PH. Η παρουσία τηςκαρδιακής ανεπάρκειας (ιδίως HFpEF) είναι εμφανής στη συντριπτική πλειονότητα των ασθενών μεπαρόξυνση ΧΑΠ και PH, η οποία αποτελεί και την αιτία της PH στην πλειονότητα αυτών των ασθενών. Έτσι, οι ασθενείς με παρόξυνση ΧΑΠ και υπερηχογραφικές ενδείξεις παρουσίας PH, πρέπει να υποβάλλονται σε RHC, προκειμένου να επιβεβαιωθεί η διάγνωση και να αξιολογηθεί η αιτία της PH. Οι ασθενείς με PH λόγω αριστερής καρδιακής νόσου μπορεί να επωφεληθούν από πιο επιθετικήθεραπεία της καρδιακής ανεπάρκειας, ενώ για τους ασθενείς με PH που δεν σχετίζεται με την αριστερή καρδιακή νόσο μπορεί να χρειαστεί περαιτέρω αξιολόγηση
Final results of the telaprevir access program: Fibroscan values predict safety and efficacy in hepatitis c patients with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis
No full textBackground: Liver stiffness determined by transient elastography is correlated with hepatic fibrosis stage and has high accuracy for detecting severe fibrosis and cirrhosis in chronic hepatitis C patients. We evaluated the clinical value of baseline FibroScan values for the prediction of safety and efficacy of telaprevir-based therapy in patients with advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis in the telaprevir Early Access Program HEP3002. Methods: 1,772 patients with HCV-1 and bridging fibrosis or cirrhosis were treated with telaprevir plus pegylated interferon-α and ribavirin (PR) for 12 weeks followed by PR alone, the total treatment duration depending on virological response and previous response type. Liver fibrosis stage was determined either by liver biopsy or by non-invasive markers. 1,282 patients (72%) had disease stage assessed by FibroScan; among those 46% were classified as Metavir F3 at baseline and 54% as F4. Results: Overall, 1,139 patients (64%) achieved a sustained virological response (SVR) by intentionto- treat analysis. Baseline FibroScan values were tested for association with SVR and the occurrence of adverse events. By univariate analysis, higher baseline FibroScan values were predictive of lower sustained virological response rates and treatment-related anemia. By multivariate analysis, FibroScan was no longer statistically significant as an independent predictor, but higher FibroScan values were correlated with the occurrence of infections and serious adverse events. Conclusions: FibroScan has a limited utility as a predictor of safety and efficacy in patients treated with telaprevir-based triple therapy. Nevertheless it can be used in association with other clinical and biological parameters to help determine patients who will benefit from the triple regiments. © 2015 Lepida et al.

Public Administration Owned Regional Telecommunication Networks as Strategic Asset During 2012 Earthquake in Emilia-Romagna
No full textAbstractTelecom is the domain where innovation and spread of usage registered the quickest and most consistent growth in the latest ten years.Seismic event dated May 2012 in Emilia-Romagna region was a significant example of how spread and diffused presence of two PA (Public Administration) regional telecommunication networks (ERretre Regional Mobile Network for radio emergency and Lepida broadband Network) substantially contributed to address such a catastrophic situation, providing the right premises to its quick overcoming and a strategic criterion for the following reconstruction of the territory.In this situation the importance and the effectiveness of a flexible, modular and configurable regional emergency mobile network such as ERretre has been proved, but at the same time the synergies with Lepida broadband network have emerged, showing a new potential in building an enabling infrastructure not only for new services, but also for new networks

PHEGEA 50-3. Triplax-soorten (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) in België
No full textThe author discusses the presence in Belgium of three Triplax species. T. rusica is the least uncommon one, and it is especially present in the province of Limburg. T. lepida has been known since 1963 from two localities in the province of Namur. T. collaris is an adventive species, coming from France: in 1984 nine adults were found in the province of East Flanders in a saw-mill.
