Socio-demographic factors, and the need to ensure one's personal safety and those of loved ones were critical determinants of face mask use among surveyed drivers. The study thus recommends that public awareness campaigns should strategically focus attention on the younger generation of drivers (i.e. 18-39 years) who perceived themselves to be immune to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Also, the collaborative efforts of state and non-state actors, like the transport operator unions, must be further strengthened if the gains made so far against Covid-19 is to be sustained.
To predict placental accreta spectrum (PAS) in patients with placenta previa (PP) evaluating clinical risk factors (CRF), ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings.

Seventy patients with PP were retrospectively selected. CRF were retrieved from medical records. Trometamol molecular weight US and MRI images were evaluated to detect imaging signs suggestive of PAS. Univariable analysis was performed to identify CRF, US and MRI signs associated with PAS considering histology as standard of reference. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Multivariable analysis was also performed.

At univariable analysis, the number of previous cesarean section, smoking, loss of the retroplacental clear space, myometrial thinning < 1mm, placental lacunae, intraplacental dark bands (IDB), focal interruption of myometrial border (FIMB) and abnormal vascularity were statistically significant. The AUC in predicting PAS progressively increased using CRF, US and MRI signs (0.69, 0.79 and 0.94, respectively; p < 0.05); the accuracy of MRI alone was similar to that obtained combining CRF, US and MRI variables (AUC = 0.97) and was significantly higher (p < 0.05) than that combining CRF and US (AUC = 0.83). Multivariable analysis showed that only IDB (p = 0.012) and FIMB (p = 0.029) were independently associated with PAS.

MRI is the best modality to predict PAS in patients with PP independently from CRF and/or US finding. It is reasonable to propose the combined assessment of CRF and US as the first diagnostic level to predict PAS, sparing MRI for selected cases in which US findings are uncertain for PAS.

Guidelines for surveillance colonoscopy depend on polyp histology. When patients present to a new healthcare system and report a personal history of "colon polyps," however, information on polyp histology is frequently unavailable.

To assess adenoma prevalence in patients with a history of colonic polyps of unknown histology and to compare it to patients undergoing either screening colonoscopy or surveillance colonoscopy for known adenomatous polyps.

This cohort study evaluated colonoscopies of patients ≥ 50years of age over a 14-year period at a single institution. The exposure of interest was colonoscopy indication, categorized into three groups screening colonoscopy, surveillance colonoscopy for history of colonic polyp(s) of unknown histology, and surveillance colonoscopy for history of adenoma(s). The primary outcome was adenoma detection rate. Multivariable logistic regression was used to assess the association between colonoscopy indication and adenoma detection rate.

Of 31,856 colonoscopies, the adenoma prevalence was 26.1% for patients undergoing screening colonoscopy, 32.9% for patients with a history of polyps of unknown histology, and 41.9% for patients with a history of known adenomatous polyps. Relative to screening colonoscopies, there were higher odds of adenoma detection in surveillance colonoscopies for polyps of unknown histology (aOR compared to screening 1.42, 95% CI 1.30-1.55) and even higher odds among surveillance colonoscopies for a history of adenoma (aOR compared to screening 1.89, 95% CI 1.75-2.05).

The adenoma prevalence on surveillance colonoscopy for patients with polyps of unknown histology was higher than that of screening colonoscopies but lower than that of surveillance colonoscopies for patients with adenomatous polyps.

Deregulation of immune response and oxidative stress contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) pathogenesis. Resistin is a physiological modulator of inflammation and redox homeostasis of different cell types. Increased resistin serum concentration and the direct association between resistin hepatic expression and NAFLD severity suggest that resistin participates in NAFLD pathogenesis.

To evaluate resistin-induced regulation of redox homeostasis in mononuclear leukocytes from NAFLD patients and controls.

We evaluated basal and resistin-mediated modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and glutathione content by flow cytometry, and antioxidant enzyme activities by spectrophotometry.

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from NAFLD patients showed higher ROS content and glutathione peroxidase activity and lower glutathione content, superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase activities than control PBMC. Resistin decreased ROS levels and superoxide dismutase activity and increased glutathione reductase and catalase activities in PBMC from controls but not from patients. Resistin decreased glutathione content in PBMC from control and NAFLD patients, with greater effect on patient cells. Basal and resistin-modulated ROS levels were directly associated with obesity-related risk factors for NAFLD. Hepatic myeloid cells and T-lymphocytes from NAFLD patients showed higher basal ROS content than cells from controls. Resistin decreased ROS levels in hepatic T-lymphocytes from controls but not from patients.

Resistin regulates redox homeostasis in mononuclear leukocytes. A decreased response to resistin in leukocytes from NAFLD patients is associated with an impaired redox homeostasis.
