TL;DR: A significant increase of the prevalence has been observed both for thyroid autoimmune disorders as well as for hypothyroidism, and the abovementioned evidences seem sufficient to suggest careful thyroid monitoring during the follow-up of patients with HCV infection.
Abstract: The prevalence of thyroid disorders has been evaluated in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection by many studies. From a review of the published controlled studies, it is possible to observe that: (1) most investigated patients with chronic HCV hepatitis, while a minority evaluated hepatitis C virus antibody (HCVAb)- seropositive patients (the two conditions are not comparable with regards to thyroidal repercussions, in fact, HCVAb-seropositive patients do not necessarily display changes of the immune system present in chronically infected HCV patients); and (2) some authors selected as internal control hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected patients, while others selected apparently healthy controls or HCVAb-negative subjects. Pooling all data about HCV-positive patients (with chronic hepatitis or HCVAb positivity) and using as control the sum of healthy controls, HBV-infected patients and sera negative for HCVAb, a significant increase of the prevalence has been observed both for thyroid autoimmune d...

TL;DR: In this paper, bottom ash and glass cullet coming from the municipal solid waste incineration and a community glass recycling program, respectively, are particularly suitable to be subjected to a vitrification/devitrification process, leading to the production of alkaline and alkaline-earth silicate differently colored glasses with good chemical properties, capable to be transformed into surface nucleated basaltic glass-ceramics.
Abstract: Municipal (bottom ash and glass cullet coming from the municipal solid waste incineration and a community glass recycling program, respectively) and industrial (steel fly ash) wastes are particularly suitable to be subjected to a vitrification/devitrification process, leading to the production of alkaline and alkaline-earth silicate differently colored glasses with good chemical properties, capable to be transformed into surface nucleated basaltic glass-ceramics. These materials were investigated by means of differential thermal analysis, durability and release tests, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.

TL;DR: The magnitude of inspiratory effort relief as assessed by ΔPes variation within the first 2 hours of NIV was an early and accurate predictor of N IV outcome at 24 hours.
Abstract: Rationale: The role of inspiratory effort still has to be determined as a potential predictor of noninvasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) failure in acute hypoxic de novo respiratory failure.Object...

TL;DR: At least one in four women experiences distressing menstrual pain characterized by a need for medication and absenteeism from study or social activities, and the probability of having more severe dysmenorrhea is directly related to pain intensity as measured by a visual analog scale, but does not coincide with it.
Abstract: Objectives: This study aimed to determine the frequency of dysmenorrhea, as identified by different definitions, in a population of young women, and to investigate factors associated with this complaint. Materials and methods: A final group of 408 young women completed a self-assessment questionnaire. This was a cross-sectional analytical study. Results: Menstrual pain was reported by 84.1% of women, with 43.1% reporting that pain occurred during every period, and 41% reporting that pain occurred during some periods. Women with menstrual pain had an earlier menarche (P = 0.0002) and a longer menstrual flow ( P = 0.006), and this group was characterized as having a higher prevalence of smokers (P = 0.031) and a lower prevalence of hormonal contraception users (P = 0.015). Pain intensity was correlated (r = 0.302, P , 0.0001) positively with menstrual flow length (CR = 0.336), history of abortions (CR = 3.640), and gynecological pathologies (CR = 0.948), and negatively with age at menarche (CR = -0.225), use of hormonal contraception (CR = -0.787), and history of gynecological surgery (CR = -2.115). Considering the parameters of menstrual pain, a need for medication, and inability to function normally (absenteeism from study or social activities) alone or together, the prevalence of dysmenorrhea is 84.1% when considering only menstrual pain, 55.2% when considering the association between menstrual pain and need for medication, 31.9% when considering the association between menstrual pain and absenteeism, and 25.3% when considering the association between menstrual pain, need for medication, and absenteeism (P , 0.0001). The probability of having more severe dysmenorrhea is directly related to pain intensity as measured by a visual analog scale, but does not coincide with it. Conclusion: Menstrual pain is a very common problem, but the need for medication and the inability to function normally occurs less frequently. Nevertheless, at least one in four women experiences distressing menstrual pain characterized by a need for medication and absenteeism from study or social activities.

TL;DR: The mechanisms of atherogenic effect of cadmium may involve oxidative stress, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, enhanced lipid synthesis, up‐regulation of adhesion molecules, prostanoid dysbalance, as well as altered glycosaminoglycan synthesis.
