Anesthetic management of a case of pheochromocytoma using bioreactance method with Cheetah-NICOM monitor

<p><strong>Pheochromocytoma is a rare neoplasm originating from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal gland. The number of diagnosed and excised adrenal lesions has steadily increased over the last few decades. Contemporarily, improved monitoring systems and therapeutic advances have reduced mortality associated with this disease. During surgery the anesthesiologist must be ready to face sudden hemodynamic, metabolic and electrolyte fluctuations due to the release of catecholamines.&nbsp; In this Case Report, we describe a particularly complex anesthesiologic management of a large secretory lesion by using Cheetah Non-Invasive Cardiac Output Monitor (Cheetah-NICOM monitor), non-invasive hemodynamic monitoring system.&nbsp; A 72-year-old female patient was subjected to adrenalctomy after a diagnosis of an adrenal mass (5 cm) compatible with pheochromocytoma (highlighted by metanephrine dosage). Patient reports recurrent episodes of hypertensive crisis, sweating and precordial pain and was also affected by Type 2 diabetes mellitus.&nbsp; Adrenal surgery for pheochromocytoma results in a significant increase in heart rate and peripheral vascular resistance, which should therefore be monitored to guide the infusion of medicinal products.&nbsp; Although a preoperative preparation with Alpha and beta blockers was carried out, high doses of short-lived beta-blockers and alphalytic and vasodilator were required during the intervention.&nbsp;&nbsp;This case report shows that Cheetah-NICOM monitor allowed us to manage prompty and optimally the catecholaminergic storm and the volemic filling obtaining a rapid postoperative recovery.</strong></p>

New indicators of ecological resilience and invasion resistance to support prioritization and management in the sagebrush biome, United States

<p>Ecosystem transformations to altered or novel ecological states are accelerating across the globe. Indicators of ecological resilience to disturbance and resistance to invasion can aid in assessing risks and prioritizing areas for conservation and restoration. The sagebrush biome encompasses parts of 11 western states and is experiencing rapid transformations due to human population growth, invasive species, altered disturbance regimes, and climate change. We built on prior use of static soil moisture and temperature regimes to develop new, ecologically relevant and climate-responsive indicators of both resilience and resistance. Our new indicators were based on climate and soil water availability variables derived from process-based ecohydrological models that allow predictions of future conditions. We asked: (1) Which variables best indicate resilience and resistance? (2) What are the relationships among the indicator variables and resilience and resistance categories? (3) How do patterns of resilience and resistance vary across the area? We assembled a large database (n = 24,045) of vegetation sample plots from regional monitoring programs and derived multiple climate and soil water availability variables for each plot from ecohydrological simulations. We used USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service National Soils Survey Information, Ecological Site Descriptions, and expert knowledge to develop and assign ecological types and resilience and resistance categories to each plot. We used random forest models to derive a set of 19 climate and water availability variables that best predicted resilience and resistance categories. Our models had relatively high multiclass accuracy (80% for resilience; 75% for resistance). Top indicator variables for both resilience and resistance included mean temperature, coldest month temperature, climatic water deficit, and summer and driest month precipitation. Variable relationships and patterns differed among ecoregions but reflected environmental gradients; low resilience and resistance were indicated by warm and dry conditions with high climatic water deficits, and moderately high to high resilience and resistance were characterized by cooler and moister conditions with low climatic water deficits. The new, ecologically-relevant indicators provide information on the vulnerability of resources and likely success of management actions and can be used to develop new approaches and tools for prioritizing areas for conservation and restoration actions.</p>

Data from: Wind turbines in managed forests partially displace common birds

<p><span>Wind turbines are increasingly being installed in forests, which can lead to land use disputes between climate mitigation efforts and nature conservation. Environmental impact assessments precede the construction of wind turbines to ensure that wind turbines are installed only in managed or degraded forests that are of potentially low value for conservation. It is unknown, nevertheless, if animals deemed of minor relevance in environmental impact assessments are affected by wind turbines in managed forests. We investigated the impact of wind turbines on common forest birds, by counting birds </span><span>along an impact-gradient of wind turbines</span><span> in 24 temperate forests in Hesse, Germany. </span><span>During 860 point counts, we counted 2,231 birds from 45 species. Bird communities were strongly related to forest structure, season and the rotor diameter of wind turbines, but were not related to wind turbine distance. For instance, bird abundance decreased in structure-poor (-38%) and monocultural (-41%) forests with wind turbines, and in young (-36%) deciduous forests with larger and more wind turbines (-24%). Overall, our findings suggest that wind turbines in managed forests partially displace common forest birds. If these birds are displaced to harsh environments, wind turbines might indirectly contribute to a decline of their populations. Yet, forest bird communities are locally more sensitive to forest quality than to wind turbine presence. To prevent further displacement of forest animals, forests of lowest quality for wildlife should be preferred in spatial planning for wind turbines, for instance small and structure-poor monocultures along highways.</span></p>

Preparedness for Contingencies: A Systematic Review of the Factors that Influence the Crisis Resilience of Project Managers

<p>The goal of this review paper is to investigate factors that contribute to project managers&#39; crisis resilience through a systematic review of the literature and bibliometric analysis using VOXviewer. Existing research on project management and resilience focuses on urban resilience, community resilience, organisational resilience, team resilience, individual resilience, resilience of critical infrastructure, and flood resilience. In the context of project managers, however, the factors that influence crisis resilience and preparedness remain unclear. Using the PRISMA framework for systematic literature, 55 peer-reviewed articles published between 1993 and 2022 that met our criteria were identified through a structured keyword search in the Scopus and WoS databases. The systematic review and bibliometric analysis reveal eight (8) clusters, which we further categorise into four determinants. This is the most important finding of this review. In the context of the roles of project managers, the results of a comparative analysis reveal four prominent factors for enhancing crisis resilience: 1. leadership (individual resilience, influence, team trust, emotional intelligence); 2. interpersonal skill (conflict management, persistence, crisis preparedness); 3. agility (proactiveness, coping capacity, and adaptive capacity); 4. risk management and vulnerability (perception, awareness)&nbsp;. These factors are essential for developing project managers who are less susceptible to future crises and disasters. This study has exhaustively characterised the possibilities and capacities of crisis resilience in terms of competency, integration, collaboration, and novelty; however, the search was restricted to a small number of databases and a short period of time, which could be explored in future research. According to the findings, most previous research on crisis resilience focused on emergency preparedness and was primarily conducted in Western and American studies. There is a lack of a holistic perspective on crisis resilience, which will be developed. We believe that international collaboration efforts to establish a platform for the exchange of knowledge between Western and American nations and ASEAN members are necessary</p>

Data for: Population genomics and conservation management of the threatened black-footed tree-rat (Mesembriomys gouldii) in northern Australia

<p>Genomic diversity is a fundamental component of Earth's total biodiversity and requires explicit consideration in efforts to conserve biodiversity. To conserve genomic diversity, it is necessary to measure its spatial distribution and quantify the contribution that any intraspecific evolutionary lineages make to overall genomic diversity. Here, we describe the range-wide population genomic structure of a threatened Australian rodent, the black-footed tree-rat (<em>Mesembriomys</em> <em>gouldii</em>), aiming to provide insight into the timing and extent of population declines across a large region with a dearth of long-term monitoring data. By estimating recent trajectories in effective population sizes at four localities, we confirm widespread population decline across the species' range, but find that the population in the peri-urban area of the Darwin region has been more stable. Based on current sampling, the Melville Island population made the greatest contribution to overall allelic richness of the species, and the prioritisation analysis suggested that conservation of the Darwin and Cobourg Peninsula populations would be the most cost-effective scenario to retain more than 90% of all alleles. Our results broadly confirm current sub-specific taxonomy and provide crucial data on the spatial distribution of genomic diversity to help prioritise limited conservation resources. Along with additional sampling and genomic analysis from the far eastern and western edges of the black-footed tree-rat distribution, we suggest a range of conservation and research priorities that could help improve black-footed tree-rat population trajectories at large and fine spatial scales, including the retention and expansion of structurally complex habitat patches.</p>

Data from: Vegetation management shapes arthropod and bird communities in an African savanna

<p>Habitat heterogeneity is a key driver of the diversity and distribution of species. African savannas are experiencing changes to their vegetation structure causing shifts towards increased woody plant cover, which results in vegetation structure homogenization. Given the impact that increasing woody plant cover has on patterns of animal use, resource managers across Africa are implementing habitat management practices that are intended to reduce woody plant cover. To understand the ecological implications of various habitat management practices on arthropod and bird communities, we leveraged large-scale tree clearing and subsequent mowing in an African savanna to understand how changes to both the herbaceous layer and woody plant cover (i.e., structural heterogeneity) may shape arthropod and bird communities at the local scale. We focused on four replicated treatments: 1) annual summer mow, 2) annual winter mow, 3) &gt;5 years since last mow (rest), and 4) an adjacent unmanipulated savanna to act as a control. We found that the mowing treatments significantly influenced vegetation structure both with respect to tree density and herbaceous layer. Both arthropod and bird community composition varied across treatments. Grass biomass was the best predictor of arthropod richness and abundance, with arthropods selecting for areas with high biomass. Insectivorous bird richness and abundance was driven by tree density (i.e., perching locations) and not arthropod abundance. Our results suggest that vegetation management practices contribute to habitat heterogeneity at the landscape scale and increase bird species richness through species turnover. However, we caution that if a single vegetation management practice dominates the landscape, it is plausible that it could lead to the simplification of the avian community.</p>
