Exogenous bacterial osteomyelitis in 52 dogs: a retrospective study of etiology and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility profile (2000-2013)

Background: Most clinical cases of osteomyelitis in dogs involve infectious agents, especially bacteria and fungi. The characterization of these microorganisms may aid in the prevention and treatment of disease.Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively microbiological cultures and in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility profile of isolates from 52 cases of bacterial osteomyelitis in long bones of dogs over 2000-2013. In 78% of the cases injuries were caused by a motor vehicle accident, but there were a few cases of dog bites (17%) and ascending infection due to pododermatitis (5%).Animals and methods: The isolated microorganisms were identified based on conventional phenotypic methods. In vitro disk diffusion test was performed using 30 different antimicrobials.Results: The isolates were obtained from femur (28%), humerus (16%), tibia (31%), and radius/ulna (25%). Among 52 cases, culture was positive in 88% of cases. Thirteen genus of different species of microorganisms were isolated. The most common microorganisms isolated were Staphylococcus spp. and Escherichia coli followed by Streptococcus spp., enteric bacteria, Corynebacterium sp. and anaerobic bacteria. In 42% of cases cultures were mixed. The most effective drugs against isolated bacteria were amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium (79%) followed by ceftriaxone (69%). High-resistance rates were documented against azithromycin (80%), penicillin (59%), and clindamycin (59%).Conclusions: The present study highlights diverse etiologic agents in cases of infectious bacterial osteomyelitis, with predominance of Staphylococcus genus, and reinforces the importance of obtaining cultures and susceptibility profiles given the high rates of antimicrobial resistance.

The phenotype of Floating-Harbor syndrome: clinical characterization of 52 individuals with mutations in exon 34 of SRCAP

Background Floating-Harbor syndrome (FHS) is a rare condition characterized by short stature, delays in expressive language, and a distinctive facial appearance. Recently, heterozygous truncating mutations in SRCAP were determined to be disease-causing. With the availability of a DNA based confirmatory test, we set forth to define the clinical features of this syndrome. Methods and results Clinical information on fifty-two individuals with SRCAP mutations was collected using standardized questionnaires. Twenty-four males and twenty-eight females were studied with ages ranging from 2 to 52 years. The facial phenotype and expressive language impairments were defining features within the group. Height measurements were typically between minus two and minus four standard deviations, with occipitofrontal circumferences usually within the average range. Thirty-three of the subjects (63%) had at least one major anomaly requiring medical intervention. We did not observe any specific phenotype-genotype correlations. Conclusions This large cohort of individuals with molecularly confirmed FHS has allowed us to better delineate the clinical features of this rare but classic genetic syndrome, thereby facilitating the development of management protocols.

Time lags of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations in the low-mass X-ray binaries 4U 1608−52 and 4U 1636−53

We studied the energy and frequency dependence of the Fourier time lags and intrinsic coherence of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) in the neutron-star lowmass X-ray binaries 4U 1608−52 and 4U 1636−53, using a large data set obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We confirmed that, in both sources, the time lags of the lower kHz QPO are soft and their magnitude increases with energy. We also found that: (i) In 4U 1636−53, the soft lags of the lower kHz QPO remain constant at∼30 μs in the QPO frequency range 500–850 Hz, and decrease to ∼10 μs when the QPO frequency increases further. In 4U 1608−52, the soft lags of the lower kHz QPO remain constant at 40 μs up to 800 Hz, the highest frequency reached by this QPO in our data. (ii) In both sources, the time lags of the upper kHz QPO are hard, independent of energy or frequency and inconsistent with the soft lags of the lower kHz QPO. (iii) In both sources the intrinsic coherence of the lower kHz QPO remains constant at ∼0.6 between 5 and 12 keV, and drops to zero above that energy. The intrinsic coherence of the upper kHz QPO is consistent with being zero across the full energy range. (iv) In 4U 1636−53, the intrinsic coherence of the lower kHz QPO increases from ∼0 at ∼600 Hz to ∼1, and it decreases to ∼0.5 at 920 Hz; in 4U 1608−52, the intrinsic coherence is consistent with the same trend. (v) In both sources the intrinsic coherence of the upper kHz QPO is consistent with zero over the full frequency range of the QPO, except in 4U 1636−53 between 700 and 900 Hz where the intrinsic coherence marginally increases. We discuss our results in the context of scenarios in which the soft lags are either due to reflection off the accretion disc or up-/down-scattering in a hot medium close to the neutron star. We finally explore the connection between, on one hand the time lags and the intrinsic coherence of the kHz QPOs, and on the other the QPOs’ amplitude and quality factor in these two sources.

Analisi dei dissesti per frana che coinvolgono le opere d’arte stradali in prossimità del corso del Rio Verde sulla S.S. n° 52 “Carnica” (Forni di Sotto, UD). Studio idrogeologico per la valutazione dei possibili interventi di mitigazione

Il presente lavoro di tesi si è svolto in collaborazione con il Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche - Istituto di Ricerca per la Protezione Idrogeologica di Padova CNR IRPI. Questo elaborato è finalizzato allo studio dei dissesti per frana che coinvolgono le opere d’arte stradali della S.S. 52 Carnica nella zona del Passo della Morte, tra i comuni di Forni di Sotto e Ampezzo, in provincia di Udine. La presenza di un’arteria viaria di primaria importanza, qual è la strada statale 52 Carnica che collega le province di Udine e Belluno, ha reso necessario un accurato studio idrogeologico. Lo studio mira principalmente ad individuare una possibile relazione tra la sorgente sita all’interno della Galleria di S. Lorenzo S.S. 52 e la galleria drenante posta al di sotto di quest’ultima per permettere la progettazione di eventuali ulteriori opere di mitigazione del rischio da frana. Il lavoro è suddiviso in tre parti: la prima, introduttiva, include una caratterizzazione geografica, geologica e morfologica dell’area di studio. La seconda descrive l’opera in esame - la galleria di S. Lorenzo S.S. 52 Carnica - e le criticità derivanti dalla complessità dell’area. Infine, la terza, fondamentale, comprende un studio idrogeologico svolto raccogliendo sul campo i dati indispensabili alle ricerche. La metodologia è caratterizzata da un’analisi statistica basata sulla cross-correlazione tra i dati di precipitazione e quelli di portata in continuo della sorgente e della galleria drenante. Infine, a fronte dei dati ottenuti, si è ricavato un modello concettuale dei complessi fenomeni idrogeologici che si sviluppano nell’area di Passo della Morte.
