FIDELIS landscape survey analysis
No full textThe FIDELIS project aims to establish a European Network of Trustworthy Digital Repositories (TDRs) that will support their development and growth, foster harmonisation and interoperability, and strengthen relevant skills through training and support. For this project to successfully achieve its goals, it was deemed essential to gather input from the community on their current practices, challenges, and needs. The outputs of this survey will be used to shape the activities of the project in the next years, and subsequently help shape the FIDELIS Network as it is designed and implemented.This activity was a collaborative effort across the project, with each part of the project focusing on their own sections of interest. This one report presents the full analysis of the survey results, covering the two associated Milestones (M11 survey analysis ready and M19 Analysis of survey results with regards to support and training) and additional analyses on other relevant topics

Wadicosa fidelis Kronestedt & Zyuzin 2009: 818, figs 1–20 (for complete list of references, see World Spider Catalog 2021). Evippa mandlaensis Gajbe, 2004: 8, figs 6–9. New synonymy Type material. E. mandlaensis. Female holotype from INDIA: Madhya Pradesh: Mandla (= Mandala): Narayanganj (22°49’38.41’’N, 80°14’10.73’’E), 431 m alt.; U.A. Gajbe leg.; 23 January 1985; repository NZC-ZSI, Kolkata (no register number specified), examined. W. fidelis. Lectotype male from ‘Palestine’ (OXUM, collection of O. Pickard-Cambridge: bottle 1572, tube 39), not examined. Kronestedt & Zyuzin (2009) illustrated the male and female genitalia of this species and their female genitalic illustrations (Kronestedt & Zyuzin 2009: figs 15, 17) were used for comparative purpose. Justification of the synonymy. Gajbe (2004) described E. mandlaensis based on a female specimen collected in Madhya Pradesh. Detailed examination of the holotype showed no differences between this species and W. fidelis, a widely distributed species, which was previously recorded from India (Tikader & Malhotra 1980; Lu et al. 2016) (compare Fig. 10B–C with Kronestedt & Zyuzin 2009: figs 15, 17). Thus, we consider E. mandlaensis as a junior synonym of W. fidelis. Remarks. The NZC-ZSI collection has one glass tube for E. mandlaensis, labeled as ‘holotype’ (Ar-1621) and containing one female specimen in fairly good condition, with broken legs. The same tube has a small glass vial containing the dissected genitalia.Published as part of Sankaran, Pradeep M., Caleb, John T. D. & Sebastian, Pothalil A., 2021, Notes on Indian wolf spiders: I.

Transvenous removal of ICD leads: riata vs sprint fidelis
No full textIntroduction: Sprint Fidelis (S) and Riata (R) ICD leads were recalled by the Food and Drug Administration because of an increased rate of failure due to conductor fracture (S) or insulation abrasion (R). Treatment options include intensifying monitoring and intervening replacing recalled lead, with or without extraction. However, because of its mechanical separation, R leads may be challenging to extract. Aim of this study is a comparison between S and R lead extraction.
Methods: since January 1997 to June 2012, we managed 513 consecutive patients with 545 ventricular ICD leads; among these, 45 were S and 94 R. There were no significative difference in patients and lead characteristics in the two groups. Indications to removal were infective in the majority of cases (73%). Mean pacing period was 39.1+-22.1 months in S group and 36.1+-23.4 months in R group. 91% of ICD leads in both groups were dual coil. In case of manual traction failure, we performed mechanical dilatation using a single polypropylene sheath technique (Cook Vascular - Leechburg PA, USA) and if necessary, other intravascular tools (Catchers and Lassos, Osypka, Grentzig-Whylen, G); an Approach through the Internal Jugular Vein (JA) was performed in case of failure of the standard approach.
Results: Success rate was achieved in all 45 (100%) S leads and in 93/94 (98.9%) R leads. No major complications occurred. Manual traction effectiveness was higher in S leads (9 vs 2%) while JA was required more frequently in R leads (8 vs 2%) (p<0.01). Extraction time and mean sheath size used were significantly higher in R group. Comparing binding sites locations, R leads exhibited higher incidence in superior vena cava, right atrium and tricuspid valve as compared to S leads (p<0.01). In R group presence of cable externalization was a predictor of difficult procedure and need for JA.
Conclusions: our experience shows that the extraction of recalled S and R ICD leads is feasible and effective. However, extraction of R leads is more complex than F leads. Lack of coil backfilling and cable externalization in R group may account for these differences. The decision to extract or not to extract R leads should be individualized

Comparison of lead failure manifestation of Biotronik Linox with St. Jude Medical Riata and Medtronic Sprint Fidelis lead.
No full textPURPOSE
To compare lead failure manifestation and lead performance of the Biotronik Linox/Sorin Vigila defibrillator lead (Linox group) with the St. Jude Medical Riata/Riata ST (Riata group) and Medtronic Sprint Fidelis defibrillator leads (Fidelis group).
METHODS
We assessed the performance of all aforementioned leads implanted at our center and investigated the manifestation of lead failures.
RESULTS
Of 93 Linox, 86 Riata, and 81 Fidelis leads implanted at our center, 11 (12%), 22 (26%), and 25 (31%) leads failed during a median follow-up of 46, 61, and 84 months, respectively. Inappropriate shocks were delivered in 64% (Linox), 5% (Riata), and 32% (Fidelis) of lead failures; a device alert was noted in none (Linox), 5% (Riata), and 52% (Fidelis); and lead failure was a coincidental finding in 36% (Linox), 91% (Riata), and 16% (Fidelis) of cases (p < 0.001). Non-physiological high rate signals were observed in 73% (Linox), 27% (Riata), and 80% (Fidelis) of lead failures (p = 0.001) and damaged lead integrity was found in 36% (Linox), 73% (Riata), and 24% (Fidelis) of cases (p = 0.064). Lead survival at 5 years was 88%, 92%, and 71% for Linox, Riata, and Fidelis group, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The most frequent clinical manifestation of lead failure was inappropriate shocks for Linox, coincidental finding for Riata and device alert for Fidelis leads. Non-physiological high rate signals were frequently observed in Linox and Fidelis lead failures whereas in Riata lead failures, a damaged lead integrity was the predominant finding
Impact of Implanted Recalled Sprint Fidelis Lead on Patient Mortality
No full textObjectivesThis study sought to compare all-cause mortality in patients with Fidelis leads (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota) to those with a nonadvisory lead.BackgroundAlthough Fidelis leads are prone to fracture, and rare deaths due to lead failure have been reported, it is unclear whether the presence of a Fidelis lead is associated with increased mortality. This study compares all-cause mortality in a large cohort of patients with Fidelis and Quattro implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) leads.MethodsAll patients with Fidelis (Medtronic models 6931, 6948, and 6949) and Quattro (Medtronic model 6947) leads followed at 3 tertiary care centers were identified from the medical records (implant dates: November 19, 2001, to December 23, 2008). Clinical and device-specific data were collected into a common database. Deaths were identified from medical records and the Social Security Death Index. Survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsA total of 2,671 patients (1,030 Fidelis and 1,641 Quattro) were identified. There were 398 deaths: 147 in the Fidelis group (mean follow-up: 34.4 months) and 251 in the Quattro group (mean follow-up: 39.9 months). No deaths were associated with 85 Fidelis and 23 Quattro failures. At 4 years, survival was diminished in patients with Fidelis compared with Quattro leads (80.7% vs. 83.9%, p = 0.025). After adjustment for factors associated with mortality, survival was similar between groups. One hundred percent pacing was not associated with mortality. Elective removal of nonfailed leads was performed in 5.1% of Fidelis and 0.9% of Quattro patients.ConclusionsIn a conservatively managed cohort, in whom observation was predominantly utilized, adjusted survival is similar between patients with Fidelis and Quattro ICD leads

Hemicordulia fidelis MacLachlan 1886
No full textHemicordulia fidelis MacLachlan, 1886 (Fig. 54) Hemicordulia fidelis MacLachlan, 1886: 104. Distribution (Fig. 55). Regional endemic. Also found in Vanuatu (Tsuda 2000), this species is widely distributed in New Caledonia, except for the far north, Île des Pins and the Loyalty Islands, which is its type locality. Bigot (1985) collected several specimens in Prony, Touaourou and on Île des Pins. One specimen captured in November 2001 in the Pocquereux valley (La Foa) is held in the CXMNC collection. Habitat. Hemicordulia fidelis breeds in a large variety of freshwater habitats: swamps, ponds, lakes, large pools in creeks and calm parts of streams and rivers. It avoids steep creeks with low water levels but seems able to tolerate ultramafic soil. Biology and behaviour. Exuviae are found, sometimes numerous, hanging on bank vegetation up to a height of 2 m. Adults often wander far from water, while males patrol for a long time defending sites from 20–50 m along banks. They are very nervous. Females lay their eggs alone, rapidly touching the water surface a dozen times to release egg clumps with a quick and jerky flight. Status. We assign H. fidelis to the category LC.Published as part of Grand, Daniel, Marinov, Milen, Jourdan, Herve, Cook, Carl, Rouys, Sophie, Mille, Christian & Theuerkauf, Jörn, 2019, Distribution, habitats, phenology and conservation of New Caledonian Odonata, pp. 1-112 in Zootaxa 4640 (1) on pages 57-58, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4640.1, http://zenodo.org/record/334224
