TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a consensus document on risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infections. But the authors do not provide guidelines on whether to use novel device alternatives expected to be less prone to infections and novel oral anticoagulants.
Abstract: Pacemakers, implantable cardiac defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices are potentially life-saving treatments for a number of cardiac conditions, but are not without risk. Most concerning is the risk of a cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection, which is associated with significant morbidity, increased hospitalizations, reduced survival, and increased healthcare costs. Recommended preventive strategies such as administration of intravenous antibiotics before implantation are well recognized. Uncertainties have remained about the role of various preventive, diagnostic, and treatment measures such as skin antiseptics, pocket antibiotic solutions, anti-bacterial envelopes, prolonged antibiotics post-implantation, and others. Guidance on whether to use novel device alternatives expected to be less prone to infections and novel oral anticoagulants is also limited, as are definitions on minimum quality requirements for centres and operators and volumes. Moreover, an international consensus document on management of CIED infections is lacking. The recognition of these issues, the dissemination of results from important randomized trials focusing on prevention of CIED infections, and observed divergences in managing device-related infections as found in an European Heart Rhythm Association worldwide survey, provided a strong incentive for a 2019 International State-of-the-art Consensus document on risk assessment, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of CIED infections.

TL;DR: This paper presents a completely decentralized control strategy for global connectivity maintenance of the communication graph that exploits decentralized estimation of the algebraic connectivity in the disk communication model.
Abstract: To accomplish cooperative tasks, robotic systems are often required to communicate with each other. Thus, maintaining connectivity of the communication graph is a fundamental issue in the field of multi-robot systems. In this paper we present a completely decentralized control strategy for global connectivity maintenance of the communication graph. Considering the disk communication model, we describe a gradient-based control strategy that exploits decentralized estimation of the algebraic connectivity. Unlike previous approaches available in the literature, the proposed control algorithm solves the global connectivity problem in a decentralized manner providing theoretical guarantees, without requiring maintenance of the local connectivity between robotic systems. Moreover, results obtained with simulations and experiments on real robots are described for demonstrating the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.

TL;DR: The induction of hypnosis can reduce anterior default mode activity during rest without increasing activity in other cortical regions, and this indicates that hypnotic induction creates a distinctive and unique pattern of brain activation in highly suggestible subjects.

TL;DR: The ability in cross-colonizing insects of phylogenetically distant orders indicated that Asaia adopts body invasion mechanisms independent from host-specific biological characteristics, an important property for the development of symbiont-based control of different vector-borne diseases.
Abstract: Summary Bacterial symbionts of insects have been proposed for blocking transmission of vector-borne pathogens. However, in many vector models the ecology of sym- bionts and their capability of cross-colonizing differ- ent hosts, an important feature in the symbiotic control approach, is poorly known. Here we show that the acetic acid bacterium Asaia, previously found in the malaria mosquito vector Anopheles stephensi, is also present in, and capable of cross-colonizing other sugar-feeding insects of phylogenetically distant genera and orders. PCR, real-time PCR and in situ hybridization experiments showed Asaia in the body of the mosquito Aedes aegypti and the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus, vectors of human viruses and a grapevine phytoplasma respectively. Cross- colonization patterns of the body of Ae. aegypti, An. stephensi and S. titanus have been documented with Asaia strains isolated from An. stephensi or Ae. aegypti, and labelled with plasmid- or chromosome-encoded fluorescent proteins (Gfp and DsRed respectively). Fluorescence and confocal microscopy showed that Asaia, administered with the sugar meal, efficiently colonized guts, male and female reproductive systems and the salivary glands. The ability in cross-colonizing insects of phylogenetically distant orders indicated that Asaia adopts body inva- sion mechanisms independent from host-specific bio- logical characteristics. This versatility is an important property for the development of symbiont-based control of different vector-borne diseases.
