State of the Art and New Advances: Cardiac MRI

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) is an advanced imaging modality for better assessment of cardiac structure, function and tissue characterization. This is an essential imaging modality when indicated for assessment of a variety of cardiomyopathies, cardiac ischemia, myocardial viability, arrhythmias, cardiac masses, congenital heart disease, shunts, acute and constrictive pericardial diseases among others. CMR is sometimes referred to as the non-invasive biopsy given the significant information it provides. This chapter discusses the current state of the art of CMR with discussion about the indications, common sequences used, and the role of CMR in evaluation of ischemic and non-ischemic cardiac disease. This chapter also discusses new advances and the future of the field of CMR

Diagnosis and management of anaemia and iron deficiency in patients with haematological malignancies or solid tumours in France in 2009-2010: the AnemOnHe study

OBJECTIVE: To describe the management of anaemia in 2009-2010 in France in patients with haematological malignancies (HM) or solid tumours (ST). METHODS: Retrospective observational study in 57 centres, enrolling adult patients with HM or ST treated for an episode of anaemia (duration of the episode >/= 3 months occurring in the last 12 months). RESULTS: 220 patients with ST (breast, 18%; lung, 18%) and 56 with HM (lymphoma, 60%) were included (median age, 68 years; female, 53%). Mean haemoglobin level at anaemia diagnosis was 9.3 +/- 1.4 g/dL (<8 g/dL for 16%) and 9.8 +/- 1.1g/dL (<8 g/dL for 6%) in HM and ST patients, respectively. At least one parameter of iron deficiency (ferritin, transferrin saturation) was assessed in 26% of HM and 19% of ST patients. Treatment of anaemia included erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESA) for 98% of HM and 89% of ST patients. Iron was prescribed to 14% (oral, 12%; intravenous, 2%) of HM patients and to 42% (oral, 17%; intravenous, 25%) of ST patients. The rates of blood transfusions were high: 70% in HM and 46% in ST patients; transfusions alone or administrated with ESA were more frequent in patients with Hb <8 g/dL. CONCLUSION: Although recent guidelines recommend evaluating iron deficiency and correcting anaemia by using intravenous iron, our study in cancer patients evidenced that ESA and blood transfusions are still frequently used as the treatment of anaemia in cancer patients. Iron deficiency is insufficiently assessed (only one patient among five) and as a consequence iron deficiency is most likely insufficiently treated

Addressing the challenge of wildlife conservation in urban landscapes by increasing human tolerance for wildlife

DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT : Deidentified data supporting our results are publicly available on Zenodo at: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10447632.DATA S1 : Survey instrument: Understanding people's opinions of wildlife in urban and residential areas.SUPPLEMENTARY TABLES : TABLE S1: Demographic and socio-economic characteristics of survey respondents, metropolitan Atlanta, United States, January–April 2022 (n = 1006).

TABLE S6: Respondent' trust in the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to manage wildlife and human–wildlife conflicts, metropolitan Atlanta, United States, January–April 2022 (n = 1006).Urbanization is a key driver of global environmental change and is adversely impacting wildlife populations. Human tolerance for wildlife is critical to wildlife conservation in urban areas. Using metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia, United States, as a case study, we investigated human tolerance for a range of different wildlife species. Almost half of the human–wildlife interactions that are reported to the state wildlife agency originate from metropolitan Atlanta, which is one of the fastest growing metropolises in the United States. We surveyed a representative sample of 1006 residents of metropolitan Atlanta in 2022. We found heterogeneity in respondents' tolerance for various species, although most respondents were intolerant of bobcats, coyotes, opossums and snakes. Respondents' tolerance for different species largely depended on their attitudes and emotions towards species, and their basic beliefs pertaining to wildlife and the relationships between humans and wildlife. We found some evidence that tolerance also depended on people's prior interactions with wildlife, their beliefs that they can mitigate conflicts with wildlife and their demographic characteristics. Our results suggest that communication that improves urban residents' attitudes towards wildlife and/or reinforces positive emotions towards wildlife may increase wildlife tolerance in urban areas.http://www.wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/pan3hj2024Mammal Research InstituteSDG-15:Life on lan

Engaging urban residents in the appropriate actions to mitigate human–wildlife conflicts

DATA AVAILABILITY STATEMENT : Deidentified data that support the findings of this study are available on Zenodo at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10444964.SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL : TABLE S1. Demographic and socio-economic characteristics of survey respondents, metropolitan Atlanta, United States, 2022 (n = 1006). TABLE S2. Respondents' risk sensitivity to wildlife diseases. Respondents answered the question “How concerned are you that wildlife in your neighborhood may transmit diseases to (1) yourself, (2) members of your community, (3) your pets, and (4) members of your household.” TABLE S3. Respondents' self-efficacy pertaining to managing interactions with wildlife. Respondents indicated whether they agreed or disagreed with four statements. TABLE S4. Respondents' trust in the Georgia Department of Natural Resources to manage wildlife and human–wildlife conflicts (n = 1006). Respondents indicated whether they agreed or disagreed with five statements. TABLE S5. Distribution of responses to the Wildlife Value Orientation Scale (n = 1006). These statements loaded onto three factors: mutualism; hunting beliefs; and utilitarian views of wildlife.Mitigating human–wildlife conflicts by altering human behaviors is critical to urban wildlife conservation. We investigated what actions urban residents are willing to take to mitigate human–wildlife conflicts in metropolitan Atlanta, one of the fastest growing metropolises in the United States (~6.1 million people, 21,690 km2). In 2022, we administered online surveys to 1006 residents of metropolitan Atlanta to determine which measures they had adopted to mitigate conflicts with urban wildlife, elicit their stated willingness to adopt additional conflict mitigation measures, and identify determinants of current or potential implementation of mitigation measures. Respondents most frequently reported watching urban wildlife (63.0% of respondents). The most frequently reported conflicts were wildlife raiding trash cans (14.8%) and damaging landscaping (20.8%). In total, 342 respondents (34.0%) had not taken any action to mitigate conflicts with wildlife. Respondents who had taken action to prevent conflicts most often secured their trash by keeping cans indoors or locking the lid of the can (28.7%), kept pets (20.5%) and pet food (20.3%) indoors, and took trash out on the morning of collection (19.6%). Respondents who had not adopted conflict mitigation measures stated that they were likely to secure their trash or keep pets and pet food indoors if they considered these measures to be necessary. Prior conflicts with wildlife influenced both respondents' current efforts to mitigate conflicts with wildlife, and their stated willingness to adopt additional measures to mitigate human–wildlife conflicts. Risk sensitivity to zoonotic pathogen transmission increased both actual and intended adoption of conflict mitigation measures. Respondents' self-efficacy, beliefs about wildlife, and age also influenced their willingness to adopt conflict mitigation measures. Our results suggest that education and outreach about the need for conflict mitigation measures should highlight the importance and effectiveness of these measures in conserving wildlife, while also securing the well-being of humans and pets.Georgia Department Of Natural Resources.http://wileyonlinelibrary.com/journal/csp2hj2024Mammal Research InstituteZoology and EntomologySDG-15:Life on lan

The liquid to vapor phase transition in excited nuclei

For many years it has been speculated that excited nuclei would undergo a liquid to vapor phase transition. For even longer, it has been known that clusterization in a vapor carries direct information on the liquid- vapor equilibrium according to Fisher's droplet model. Now the thermal component of the 8 GeV/c pion + 197Au multifragmentation data of the ISiS Collaboration is shown to follow the scaling predicted by Fisher's model, thus providing the strongest evidence yet of the liquid to vapor phase transition.Comment: four pages, four figures, first two in color (corrected typo in Ref.

Quantum Coherence Oscillations in Antiferromagnetic Chains

Macroscopic quantum coherence oscillations in mesoscopic antiferromagnets may appear when the anisotropy potential creates a barrier between the antiferromagnetic states with opposite orientations of the Neel vector. This phenomenon is studied for the physical situation of the nuclear spin system of eight Xe atoms arranged on a magnetic surface along a chain. The oscillation period is calculated as a function of the chain constant. The environmental decoherence effects at finite temperature are accounted assuming a dipole coupling between the spin chain and the fluctuating magnetic field of the surface. The numerical calculations indicate that the oscillations are damped by a rate $\sim (N-1)/ \tau$, where $N$ is the number of spins and $\tau$ is the relaxation time of a single spin.Comment: 10 pages, Latex, two postscript figures; submitted to Phys.

The barite ore deposits of Bou Ouzzal (Moroccan Hercynian Massif-Central)

The deposit of Bou Ouzzal’s barite is located in the eastern extreme of the Moroccan Hercynian Massif- Central, to approximately 7 km to the south of Khénifra. The mineralization occurs in the paleozoic schists and late Visean limestones. The barite appears in the shape of veins and karst associated with oxides and iron hydroxides. This deposit is distinguished by his great heterogeneity and the variability of his composition. In spite of the fact that the region has been an object of numbers mining works from 1922, date in which the deposit was discovered, the analytical studies are scarce and half-close to the mineralization. The aim of the present note is concentrated on the detailed description of the different generations of barite, his distribution and relation with the iron’s minerals. The samples have been studied by polarizing microscopy, SEM, XRD, XRF and EPMA. This work is the preliminary result of the collaboration established between the University Mohammed VAgdal and the University Complutense of Madrid within the framework of the Spanish-Moroccan Intervarsity Cooperation’s program of the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation «AECI
