All positive cases were among cisgender men, and the majority (92%) were among men who have sex with men. A large number of patients (39%) were human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. There was wide variation in emergency department (ED) length of stay (range 2–16 hours, median 4 hours) and test turnaround time (range 1–11 days, median 4 days).

Embolism and Adjusted D-dimer for Emergency Department Patients", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Introduction: \nSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and acute pulmonary embolism (APE) present a diagnostic challenge in the emergency department (ED) setting. We aimed to identify key clinical characteristics and D-dimer thresholds associated with APE in SARS-CoV-2 positive ED patients.\nMethods:\n We performed a multicenter, retrospective cohort study for adult patients who were diagnosed with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) and had computed tomography pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) performed between March 17, 2020–January 31, 2021. We performed univariate analysis to determine numeric medians, chi-square values for association between clinical characteristic and positive CTPA. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds of a clinical characteristic being associated with a diagnosis of APE.\nResults: \nOf 408 patients who underwent CTPA, 29 (7.1%) were ultimately found to have APE. In multivariable analysis, patients with a body mass index greater than 32 (odds ratio [OR] 4.4, 95%confidence interval [CI] 1.0 -19.3), a heart rate greater than 90 beats per minute (bpm) (OR 5.0, 95% CI 1.0-24.9), and a D-dimer greater than 1,500 micrograms per liter (μg/L) (OR 5.6, 95% CI 1.6-20.2) were significantly associated with pulmonary embolism. In our population that received a D-dimer and was SARS-CoV-2 positive, limiting CTPA to patients with a heart rate over 90 or a D-dimer value over 1500 μg/L would reduce testing 27.2% and not miss APE.\nConclusion:\n In patients with acute COVID-19 infections, D-dimer at standard cutoffs was not usable.Limiting CTPA using a combination of heart rate greater than 90 bpm or D-dimer greater than 1,500 μg/L would significantly decrease imaging in this population.

(YPM VP4673) consists of a largely complete skull and some associated post-cranial elements that were derived from an unknown level within the Smoky Hill Member of the Niobrara Chalk (upper Coniacian-lower Campanian), of Kansas, USA. \nEctenosaurus shannoni\n sp. nov. (ALMNH:Paleo:5452) is described from a much more fragmentary specimen collected from the unnamed member of the Mooreville Chalk (upper Santonian-lower Campanian) of Alabama, USA. These new taxa can be distinguished from the other members of the genus, \nE. clidastoides\n (Merriam, 1894) and \nE. everhartorum\n Willman et al. (2021), by clear morphological differences in the skull and jaws. Two parsimony analyses of a data matrix consisting of 98 characters and 20 terminal taxa were carried out, the first without constraints and the second constrained by the assumption of monophyly in \nEctenosaurus\n. Both analyses resulted in 30 equally parsimonious trees of 255 steps. Neither analysis yielded definitive information about the position of \nEctenosaurus\n within Plioplatecarpinae, suggesting the need for an expanded data matrix. Although \nEctenosaurus\n is an extremely rare component of the mosasaur assemblages from which it is found, it is also a diverse genus, with now at least four recognized species.

However, to date, there have been no studies investigating the effect of the demonstrator’s sex on such learning. The aim of our study was to evaluate this effect by comparing an experimental condition in which dogs received a demonstration from their owner on how to manipulate one of two possible containers to obtain food and a control condition without any human demonstration. Each of these conditions was divided into two groups: male-owned and female-owned dogs. Overall, the dogs performed better in the experimental condition than the control condition. This was evidenced by a higher frequency of correct choices and opening the correct container, as well as a higher frequency of contact and gaze towards the demonstration. The female-owned group benefited from the demonstration by choosing the correct container more frequently in the experimental condition compared to the control. Conversely, male-owned dogs chose the correct container more often and looked more frequently at the demonstration than female-owned dogs, without differences between conditions. This could indicate a higher capacity for problem solving in this group of dogs beyond the human demonstration, and therefore wouldn't reflect a modulatory effect of the owner’s sex over social learning in particular. In conclusion, the sex of the demonstrator seems to have an effect on social learning in dogs when the demonstrator is a female owner.

Foregrounding both cultural hybridity and mechanisms of marginalization, this image captures the lived experiences of individuals who live across multiple communities. In my analysis of Kym Ragusa’s \nThe Skin Between Us\n (2006), I bridge the study of life-writing and social theory to demonstrate how the author uses spatial forms of representation, including the crossroads and the map, to critique preconceived notions of race and belonging. Ragusa’s memoir confronts the several types of violence that occur at the junction between social structures, as it points to their ability to reproduce over time. By placing Ragusa’s understanding of identity as social position in relation with her interest in geo-historical stratifications, my reading suggests that her poetics of location opens onto a theory of implication, whereby subjects are constantly folded into structures from the past and are called to act upon them in the present.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Technological Bodies in Fascism’s Empire Cinema", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Even though Mussolini’s famous definition of cinema as “the strongest weapon” implies a common ground between filmmaking, propaganda, technology, and warfare, a casual viewer of Fascist-era films would be hard-pressed to find explicit references to this interconnectedness. In fact, narrative films made at the time hardly ever dealt with the realities of the regime, to the point that in 1979 Carlo Lizzani spoke of Fascist cinema by calling it “an absence.” Nonetheless, the Fascist obsession with modernity and technological innovations emerges in different ways from most films produced during the Ventennio. Despite their surface-level optimism and faith in the process of modernization, many of these films betray the feelings of anxiety and uncertainty that accompanied the shift from tradition to modernity, reflecting the complexity of the regime’s own attitude towards these cultural modes. In particular, films shot on location in the colonial territories of Eastern Africa display an interesting ambivalence towards technology and the colonial effort itself: while their narratives are seemingly celebratory, the cinematic style they display reveals a more complicated relationship with the Fascist myth-making agenda.\nThis paper will examine four titles belonging to this body of films, grouped by Ruth Ben-Ghiat under the label of Fascism’s Empire Cinema, and will explore their portrayal of modernity by focusing on their representation of the relationship between technology and the human body. I will argue that these films reflect the contradictions intrinsic to the Fascist ideology of progress, and the technological mediation of the camera allows for this ambivalence to emerge without being explicitly stated. That is why, rather than adopting a cultural studies approach, I will employ film analysis as a tool to conduct historical research. I will depart from the film texts and, by analyzing the formal structure of some of their key moments, will locate the places in which feelings of uncertainty towards Fascist ideals of progress, strength, and masculinity ripple underneath a seemingly triumphal surface.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Deeply connected to its author’s well-known passion for dialects and regional, lower-class cultures first evidenced in his Friulian poetry, Canzoniere represents a key moment in Pasolini's thought. The collection exemplifies his theorization of language and power, the role of the popular in national culture before the ravages of neocapitalistic growth, and the aesthetic significance of dialect traditions. This project, intended to preserve dialect traditions after the fall of Fascism, also echoes the work of the nineteenth-century folklorists who sought document and disseminate folk cultures as a testament to national popular traditions of a newly-unified Italy. Pasolini’s methodological approach, especially, connects him to these previous folklorists. His dependence on written anthologies rather than ethnographic research, his valorization of popular poetry as a literary tradition, and his insistence on the archaic and ahistorical nature of the lowest classes all contrast sharply with the emerging discourse in the 1950s—promoted in particular by the anthropologist Ernesto De Martino—that working-class people participated in history and expressed forms of political consciousness through their cultural practices. I argue that Pasolini’s own understanding of popular poetry, as articulated in the introduction to the Canzoniere, betrays the radical promise of the work itself and reveals it to be an inherently conservative project. When taken in the context of other theories of folklore in the postwar, it embodies a late gesture of a traditional aesthetic and literary approach to working-class people and their culture.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Based on the transoceanic crossing and the two months he spent in Argentina, De Amicis produced several texts: a long account of the transatlantic journey, <em>Sull’Oceano</em>, published in 1889; a short story, “Dagli Appennini alle Ande,” included in his 1886 best-seller, <em>Cuore</em>; and a lecture, “I nostri contadini in America,” delivered three times in 1887. Collectively, these texts describe Italian emigration to South America in its different stages, from departure to settlement and, for some, return.</p>\n<p>This essay explores how De Amicis, a renowned literary promoter of national consciousness and national cohesion, addresses the blatant failure in the nation building project represented by the exodus from the nation of the poorest among its new citizens. <em>Sull’Oceano</em> identifies class discord as the primary motor of the Italian post-unitary diaspora and proposes reformed elite behavior as antidote to emigration and safeguard of national allegiance among transplanted Italians. “Dagli Appennini alle Ande” and “I nostri contadini in America,” instead, focus on Argentinian nativism as the cause of the transplanted Italians’ continuing suffering, and advocate that the Argentinians recognize the Italian farmers’ contribution to the settlement of the country and that the Italian government play a protective role towards its citizens abroad, thus returning to the country of origin the role of protective mother figure which the emigrant flux had compromised.</p>\n<p>While <em>Sull’Oceano</em> focuses on national class division and the possibility of the migrants’ disaffection from the nation, “I nostri contadini” superimposes international ethnic conflict on class division and concentrates on the absence of the nation in spite of the migrants’ renewed affection. Both texts offer an emotional solution to the ruptures they highlight. In the first one, interclass empathy ensures the loyalty of the migrants to the nation. In the latter, empathy has to travel across more axes, from the Argentinians to the Italians and from the ruling class in Italy to the migrants across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, in this case the solution is delayed to the future. Should the circulation of affect be successful, however, the migrants would be both “nostri,” children of the land they left behind, and “figli del paese” in Argentina. Instead of searching for a mother, they would have two. The mother across the ocean, moreover, would be “altera” rather than shamed. De Amicis, in other words, would have reconciled emigration and nationalism.</p>", "language": null, "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The publication of this issue of \nCalifornia Italian Studies\n coincides with and celebrates the 100th anniversary of Calvino’s birth (October 15th, 1923). Calvino’s \nMemos\n were originally lectures prepared, beginning in January 1985, after he was invited in 1984 to be the 1985-86 Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry at Harvard University. For all the Norton endowed lectures, Harvard stipulated that poetry was to be interpreted in the broadest sense, including all poetic expression in language, music, or fine arts. Calvino’s predecessors included, among others, Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Chávez, Aaron Copland, Northrop Frye, Helen Gardner, Pier Luigi Nervi, Octavio Paz, Frank Stella, and Igor Stravinsky; and among his successors over the years were Laurie Anderson, John Ashbery, Luciano Berio, John Cage, Umberto Eco, Nadine Gordimer, Herbie Hancock, William Kentridge, Toni Morrison, Linda Nochlin, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Orhan Pamuk, and Agnès Varda. The \nMemos\n theorize principles or “values” that in Calvino’s view were especially relevant and important for literature (or, rather, poetry in the broader sense set forth by Harvard)—always seen in relation to other forms of discourse and expression—as it faced the new millennium, a millennium which Calvino, who died on September 19, 1985 at the age of 61, would not see. These future-oriented values for Calvino were also crucial to the reading and interpretation of poetic/literary works from the first and second millennia. The scholarly work included in this issue of \nCalifornia Italian Studies\n ranges in fact from studies pertaining to antiquity, the Middle Ages, and early modern literature and culture, to multidisciplinary reflections on literature, art, and science inspired by or based on the \nMemos,\n as well as critical problems and themes relevant to the contemporary era and the future of the humanities.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Although there is no concrete evidence that the two men knew each other's work, or that they thought of themselves as part of the 'postmodernist' movement of those years, their respective career trajectories seem to parallel one another in sometimes striking ways. More importantly, Calvino and Rossi were erudite and voracious readers who shared a very wide-ranging set of literary and cultural references, as becomes apparent when the dense textual network of the \nLezioni americane\n is mapped onto that of Rossi's notebooks (now known as the \nQuaderni azzurri\n), in which the architect recorded many of his readings as well as his reflections on the latter. This essay focuses principally on texts left unpublished by Calvino and Rossi while alive (and still not translated into English today), namely the unfinished lecture \"Cominciare e finire\"—drafted as part of the Norton series but eventually put aside by the author—and the aforementioned \nQuaderni azzurri\n. What emerges from the juxtaposition of these works is the central importance of theatrical texts, spaces, performances, and ultimately the concept of theater itself, in Calvino's and Rossi's respective cultural projects. For the former, theaters are a concrete \"image of the ideal space in which stories take shape\" (\nL/A \n744), and thus may serve as a synecdoche for all literary story-telling. For the latter, who designed and built a number of theaters over the course of his career, architecture is at its best when it concerned not with function but with making itself available (\"disponibile\") to the telling of the human story. This is never more the case than in the built environment of the theater, which is the desideratum of architecture—to \nbecome\n the place where stories with transformative power may \ntake\n place—pushed to the extreme degree of what Rossi calls \"pure availability\" (\"la disponibilità pura\"). Both writer and architect not only acknowledge the cultural prestige of the theater, even in the media-saturated and dispersive era of late capitalism, but envision it as a place of unique imaginative freedom within the system of representation at the end of the millennium.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Begun in June 2015, this series offers, on the first Thursday of every month, free projections with thousands of viewers in attendance in loco and many more worldwide following these events via live streaming online. The aim of \nLight Year\n is to build bridges by bringing together artists and spectators from all over the world, creating synergies between various forms of public art, video art and experimental cinema. \nInhabiting Zenobia\n (Light Year #91) consisted of multiple large-scale video projections on one of the anchor walls of the Manhattan Bridge and, simultaneously, in the Drey Gallery (East York, Toronto) and the Scope BLN Gallery (Berlin). Through the video works or fragments presented, \nInhabiting Zenobia\n sought to suggest some strands running through Calvino's thought in regard to the form of the invisible—and sometimes unlivable—city, although it did so without necessarily making these explicit. The artists Jamila Campagna&Alektron, Raffaella Valsecchi, Francesca Manca di Villahermosa, Miltos Manetas, Alessio Liberati, and Dimitri Porcu & Lionel Martin took part in Costanza Ferrini's project. Zenobia is in fact the name that Calvino chose in \nInvisible Cities\n for the most vertical of the \"thin cities\" (\"Thin Cities,\" 2). It is perhaps, according to Ferrini, the fictional invisible city closest to the world-city envisioned by Calvino, which is likewise vertical and thin. The video projection explored different points of view, forms and modes of living the city, particularly those vertical worlds hidden in invisible corners of megacities and cities across the planet. The work's essential hypothesis is that Zenobia—the invisible vertical city—is the projection of the society in which many of us now live. In these “Notes from the Field,” Ferrini reflects back on her work and on how in the 1970s Calvino anticipated the contemporary megalopolis to come. In the \nLight Years \nprojection curated by Ferrini, the notion of verticality was suggested through a form of conceptual, visual and aural expression that sought to convey all of its contradictions, omissions, and frailties. In the first part of her text written for \nCalifornia Italian Studies\n, Ferrini offers notes and reflections on the various modalities through which Calvino's work—especially \nInvisible Cities\n, \"Dall'opaco\" and \nSix Memos for the Next Millennium\n—served to inspire her own artistic activity. She also sets her work in relation to that of other writers and artists such as the Futurist painter Umberto Boccioni and the video artist Adrian Paci. In the second part, she discusses not only the respective methods employed by the participating artists, but the meaning underlying their video contributions to the project as well as the links between their own works and Calvino's themes.

My specific approach to the collaboration is through the notions of “expanded music” and “extended voice,” which I use to capture several different stages or “moving parts” of the collaboration. Convergences as well as divergences emerge, and hence experiments amidst novel acoustic spaces and scenarios, within and beyond the classical stage. Calvino first wrote the libretto for Berio as a fairytale about a king, turning it eventually into a \nfavola dell’ascolto, \ninspired\n \nby the article “Ascolto” co-authored by Ronald Barthes and Roland Havas. In the introductory part of my article, I touch briefly on this libretto and the ways in which it evokes different dimensions and layers of listening, including an uncanny “acousmatic” dimension. I go on to consider the “Trattamento” (a later pluri-dimensional proposal by Calvino), as an entry point into Berio’s “musical action”–compositions constructed through a montage of Calvino’s arias, mashed up with excerpt of other texts. In particular, I insist on the friction between the multiplication of women’s voices and the arias Calvino wrote. I discuss Berio’s musical poetics relative to acoustic spaces—constructed through live electronics, instrumental music, and voice—and his own take on Calvino’s musicality. I then plunge into Calvino’s short story “Un re in ascolto.” In reading this short story, I investigate the implications of Calvino’s silence regarding the novel stage –beginning in the late 1970s– of sound reproducibility, a paradigmatic shift that reframed the public and the private soundscape and reshaped the interspersions of the bodily sensorium. In a Calvino-centric mode, these notes engage with existing interpretations about the collaboration (by Adriana Cavarero, Laura Cosso, Daniel Cohen-Levinas, Umberto Eco, Massimo Mila, and Peter Szendy) and the Italian intellectual context of the late 1970s (Aldo Giorgio Gargani, Carlo Ginzburg) in light of the recent expanding field of sound studies (Michael Bull, Francesco Giomi, Shuhei Hosokawa, Jonathan Stern, and Dominic Pettman). I end these notes with a brief incursion into Berio’ later conception of the spatialization of sounds (at the \nTempo Reale\n music research center in Florence) that unexpectedly once again connects with Calvino’s auditory poetics and expands on it.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

This position, however, might actually \nunderstate\n Calvino’s significance, because his influence has been at least as significant outside of Italy as inside, and larger outside of literature than inside (\nInvisible Cities\n, in particular, has had an enormous influence in art, architecture, urban planning, design, and even social services offered in urban spaces). A useful model for thinking about transcultural and transmedial influence might be the notion of \nresonance\n, in which a sound (Calvino’s writing in this case) reverberates in an increasingly large and complex cultural space — such a model might be particularly attractive when it comes to Calvino, since it has the potential to reframe the attention to the visual and the geometric. This article looks to one particular example of this cultural resonance: Lisa Mezzacappa’s 2020 jazz suite of Calvino’s \nCosmicomics\n. Jazz might seem like an unusual way of conceptualizing Calvino, but in \nUn ottimista in America\n, Calvino himself suggested that jazz has a particular and positive capacity to think through cultural dilemmas without “crystallizing” into a static and unproductive image (a point he would also make in one of his cosmicomic stories, tellingly entitled “I cristalli”). Indeed, jazz allows us a different way to hear Calvino: playful, improvisational, and sensual. Looking primarily at one track from Mezzacappa’s suite, “The Form of Space,” I contend that her adaptation encourages us to hear Calvino story as a critique of the purely cerebral, visual and geometric; the music instead gestures toward a subject who is neurotic, perverse and unpredictable. The improvisational nature of jazz and the Lucretian geometry of spacetime both suggest that the supposedly rational and composed subject might swerve out of the predictable straight line into surprising new territory that is boisterous, risky and remarkably open.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The fairy tale is indeed very close to the most remote source of storytelling, and provides decisive evidence of the combinatory nature of fiction itself.

This article does not establish this intertextual relationship with an eye to exploring how the 16th-century author has influenced Calvino, but instead follows Lucia Re’s line of thought in her article “Ariosto and Calvino: the Adventures of a Reader” by looking backward to see what Calvino’s novella reveals about Tasso’s poem. Elements of \nIl visconte dimezzato\n can indeed serve as an interpretive key to the question of the early modern author’s politico-religious ideology. Calvino parodies epic conflict in the central narrative of his novel by physically splitting his protagonist’s body into a good half and an evil half. Each becomes an autonomous entity, creating a simultaneous halving and doubling effect. After a long rivalry and duel over a peasant woman, Il Gramo and Il Buono combine again to become one re-unified Medardo. This peculiar construction of self versus self emphasizes the fundamental likeness of all peoples regardless of their camp in a conflict. Calvino’s direct citation of Tasso hints that his predecessor may have shared this universalizing view. Tasso appears in a moment both meta- and \nmetà-\nliterary: attempting to further dismember his adversary, Il Gramo accidentally slices in half the book that Il Buono is reading. This is the \nGerusalemme liberata\n, whose halfway point according to its author falls just after the death of the warrior Clorinda. Like Medardo, Clorinda has a double and conflicting nature. Her dual religious, racial, and gender identities have long been the subject of commentary. By halving the \nLiberata \nat this point, Calvino suggests that we reconsider our understanding of this character. Ending the poem here would shift the focus from the final duel of Tancredi and Argante in Canto 19 to that of Clorinda and Tancredi in Canto 12. This change assigns much more value to Clorinda; rather than an anomaly, she becomes the foremost representative of the enemy army. If the principal Muslim character is in fact such a complicated figure as Clorinda, who is ultimately redeemed, then the extent to which Tasso frames the Muslims as morally corrupt becomes problematized. Calvino’s portrait of the universal warrior anticipates aspects of more recent critical approaches to Tasso, pointing out that the \nLiberata\n’s ethical divide between the army of the saved Christians and that of the condemned Muslims may not be as severe as it appears.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

Lucretius’s \nDe Rerum Natura\n, on atomic motion and combination, and Ovid’s \nMetamorphoses\n, on the myth-history of change from Chaos to the power of Augustan Rome, are key models in Calvino’s reading; and not only in \nSix Memos. \nIn \nInvisible Cities \n(1972), lightness, or the “removal of weight,” is the value substantiating Calvino’s large-scale projection of Venice across the globe and deep temporalities. In this novel, he maps out the \navenir \nof “light” classical forms, in connecting Homeric cityscapes, both mythical and historical, with the makings of a topography of a futuristic California. As an ensemble, both the essay and the hyper-novel articulate curious epistemologies of antiquity’s future. They call attention to the narrative capaciousness and potential of Homer’s \nOdyssey\n, as well as\n \nthe nature-oriented compositions of Lucretius and Ovid. Here, Calvino relates the \navenir \nof a highly hybrid, adaptably contiguous tradition. More pointedly, he envisages the survival of ethical literatures composed beyond Anthropocene concerns, and whose relationality with the world at large serves to give a voice to the non-human. But Calvino’s alternative histories of antiquity’s \navenir\n are not simply an exercise of his speculative imaginary. On the contrary, they speak eloquently to the field of cultural, scientific, and technological production towards the last quarter of the twentieth century, in which vestiges of older literatures, like those of Homer, Lucretius and Ovid, are put to the test in an ever-changing world.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY-NC 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

What remains of the planned lectures are various layers of sunken work, an underground archive of notebooks, handwritten notes, typescripts sent out to be translated only to be written over and reworked. There are also traces of previous stages of Calvino’s study of the books he utilized, annotated and commented, and reused to write the lectures.\n \nThis is, however, the first time that Calvino takes the measure of his entire mental library in order to recount his idea of literature and offer mirror images of himself as writer and reader through the paths of his memory and poetic imaginary. For the first time, Calvino looks for himself systematically among the books of his library, both mental and real, and searches for his place in the frame that holds together six ideal shelves. These ideal shelves are reflections of images of himself and of an idea of literature whereby all forms of knowledge arise from anomalies hidden in the great library of the world.

Calvino’s choice of readings invites a comparison with his posthumous \nSix Memos for the Next Millennium\n, recalling, in particular, his chapters on “Exactitude” and “Visibility.” Calvino’s 1984 recommendation to revive the art of description goes hand in hand with his invitation to reflect on the shades and nuances of language, on precision and rigor as solutions to rescue language and literature from ambiguity and vagueness. He found this rigor and precision in the writings of several authors (from Leopardi to Valéry), as well as in art, in Domenico Gnoli’s work in particular. The intersection between Calvino’s writing and art has been examined by many; my paper further explores this interdisciplinary area.

The objectives were as follows:\nAssess the SDoH, risk factors, and barriers to healthcare facing patients from diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds in the ED.\nExamine how social work consult services operate in the ED setting and how to identify appropriate referrals, resources, and treatment plans for patients in the ED.\nExamine and interpret the impact health disparities have on patients in the ED and develop potential solutions to reduce these disparities to improve health outcomes.\nAnalyze the experiences and lessons learned and use them to inform future patient interactions.\nCurricular Design: \nThe curriculum was developed by a workgroup that considered the following: scope; target learners; overall structure; instructional and delivery methods; and session scheduling. The curriculum consisted of four components that took place over the four-week EM course. Students completed a required end-of-course survey. Survey results underwent a mixed-methods analysis to assess student attitudes and the impact of the curriculum.\nImpact/Effectiveness:\n We received a 78.7% (74/94) completion rate for the 2021-2022 academic year. Of all respondents, 92% (68/74) indicated that they would apply lessons learned from the SDoH components of the curriculum; 74% (54/74) rated the SDoH curriculum as good, very good, or excellent; and 81% (60/74) felt that the EM course increased their understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion as it relates to the practice of medicine. The thematic analyses revealed four main themes: 1) general comments; 2) course design; 3) interprofessional collaboration; and 4) expanding the scope of the curriculum.\nConclusion: \nSocial medicine integration into core EM courses is a generalizable approach to experiential and collaborative exposure to the social determinants of health. Of student respondents, 92% indicated they will use lessons learned from this curriculum in their future practice. This can improve the way future generations of physicians identify SDoH and address the social needs that affect their patients, thereby advancing and promoting health equity.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

An emergency medicine (EM) curriculum focused on review of these ICU upgrade cases could improve resident knowledge related to patient acuity, critical illness, and appropriate disposition. Furthermore, initial identification of critical pathology in the ED and earlier admission to the ICU could reduce delays in care and improve patient outcomes.\nWe performed a retrospective analysis to determine the effectiveness of a resident quality improvement curriculum evaluating cases where patients require transfer from the inpatient floor to the ICU within 12 hours of admission from the ED. We compared postgraduate year 2 (PGY-2) EM residents who participated in the ICU upgrades curriculum during their first year to PGY-2 EM residents who did not participate in the curriculum.\nAnalysis of the 242 qualifying ICU upgrade cases from July 2019–October 2021 showed post-curriculum residents were responsible for an average of 1.0 upgrades per resident compared to an average of 1.54 upgrades per resident (P = 0.12) for pre-curriculum residents. Although there was no statistically significant difference in ICU upgrades between the groups, there was a trend toward decreased ICU upgrade cases for residents who participated in the curriculum. Common reasons for ICU upgrade included worsening respiratory distress requiring higher level of respiratory support, recurrent hypotension after initial intravenous fluid resuscitation requiring vasopressor support, and declining mental status.\nThis retrospective study showed no significant difference in the number of ICU upgrades for residents who completed the ICU upgrades curriculum compared to residents who were not enrolled in the course. However, the study was likely underpowered to detect a significant difference in the groups, and there was a trend toward reduced ICU upgrades for residents who completed the curriculum. ICU upgrade cases were frequently associated with worsening respiratory status, hypotension, and mental status. These findings highlight the importance of reassessment of vital signs and mental status prior to determining disposition from the ED.

In turn, the essay “Calvino makes the shell” presented here is the central chapter of, and has given its title to, my new book on Calvino (\nCalvino fa la conchiglia\n, 2023, pp. 366-385). The aim of this book is to consider Calvino’s whole self-construction as a writer: his texts, his life, his encounters, his places, his travels, his readings, his ideas—in a word, the development of a style unique in the world of literature. In this essay, “spiral” is a key word and image in a key story. “The Spiral” is, in fact, autobiographical, even if the narrating “I” is named Qfwfq. It can be read as a fictional account of Calvino’s mind and body as written by Calvino himself, and it can be deciphered as an autobiographical text even if the narrating “I” appears as a mollusk stuck to his primordial reef. In its fifteen pages, “The Spiral” tells a tale about the construction of a self, a constant narrative theme for Calvino and the inspiration for my book’s subtitle “The construction of a writer.” The essay, here translated into English by Jim Hicks, will show that those five words point to two sequences of events, each grafted onto the other.

Support Guidelines", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Introduction:\n Cardiac arrest is a major health concern that has been linked to poor disease outcomes. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical protocol for restoring spontaneous circulation. The guidelines used by medical staff differ across different countries. A comparison of these guidelines can help in designing more efficient Advanced Life Support (ALS) protocols. The goal in this study was to compare the guidelines for interruption of compression during CPR (hands-off time) for ALS protocols provided by Australian and United Kingdom (UK) resuscitation councils.\nMethods: \nThe author designed a simulation-based study using a mannequin and a defibrillator, and then recruited six participants. Three participants were certified ALS practitioners who followed UK guidelines, and three were certified ALS practitioners who followed Australian guidelines. Each participant received a random task assignment for each scenario, as a team leader, performer of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or assistant. The team leader and the chest compressor were unaware of the shockability of each case’s rhythm. Eight minutes total were spent on 10 CPR trials, each lasting four cycles. A video of the simulation was recorded for automated timekeeping. An independent sample t-test was used to compare the amount of hands-off time (seconds) throughout each cycle between two procedures. For purposes of calculating statistical significance, a 0.05 P-value was employed.\nResults: \nThe mean duration of second cycle hands-off time (seconds) in the UK ALS protocol was statistically significantly longer than the Australian ALS (t = −2.100; P = 0.05). For shockable rhythms, the hands-off time of the UK ALS protocol was significantly longer than Australian ALS protocol, as reflected in the second cycle (t = −0.621; P < 0.001), third cycle (t = −8.083; P < 0.001), and fourth cycle (t = −5.814; p < 0.001), while the difference in the first cycle between groups was not statistically significant. (t = −0.258; P = 0.803).\nConclusion:\n This simulation-based study demonstrated that the UK ALS guidelines led to an increased duration of hands-off time during the second cycle. The hands-off time in the shockable rhythms was also higher during the second, third, and fourth cycles in the UK ALS protocol compared to the Australian ALS protocol. These points must be focused on in future revisions of the UKALS guidelines. For better results, it is critical to limit hands-off time between chest compression cycles.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

In two experiments, college participants were randomly as- signed to watch an ad (Vrbo in Study 1, Five Star Notebooks in Study 2) at either normal or 25% faster (1.25x) speed. We did not find significant effects of play- back speed in Study 1, perhaps because the ad did not have much informational content. However, in Study 2, we found that participants who watched the ad at 1.25x speed enjoyed it less, remembered it less well, and had lower brand sentiment than those who watched it at normal speed.

This trend was expressed in many forms, including fashion, artwork, and architecture, all con-tributing to French narratives about the United States and the American Revolution. The fore-most of these nar- ratives were the portrayals of America as a neoclassical, republican idyll and as a rustic, pastoral return to the romantic concept of nature. French figures who donned the “American” style played a large and often conscious role in crafting such cultural narratives. From 1776 to 1789, the “American” style in France took on a variety of contradictory meanings in French culture and politics. French figures like the Marquis de Lafayette, the Duchesse de la Tour du Pin, and the Marquis de Condorcet took on a French-American identity and styled themselves as “Americans” to express different political views. \n \nBy analyzing these individuals’ political views and sartorial styling, this essay examines the impact of French “American” style on the French perception of America. The essay utilizes contemporary publications such as newspa- pers and fashion magazines, as well as the memoirs and correspondence of French fig-ures.

Research sug- gests that childhood maltreatment can increase children’s risk for later violence, particularly in intimate relationships, by weakening their attachments to primary caregivers and lower- ing their sense of self-worth. Extant research has focused primarily on childhood physical abuse and exposure to intimate partner violence (IPV), leaving a gap in our understanding of if and how childhood emotional abuse (CEA) contributes to later violence. This study sought to fill that gap by evaluating if CEA predicted young adult IPV perpetration and vic- timization via compromised attachment to caregivers and self-worth. The current sample of 1,091 college students (Mage = 19.23, SD = 1.65; 68.4% female sex assigned at birth) was ethnically and racially diverse (i.e., 41.9% Asian, 26.5% Latine, 15.9% White, 5.9% Black, and 9.9% multiracial/other). Participants completed surveys in a research lab using a confidential online platform to assess their childhood maltreatment experiences, caregiver attachments, self-worth, and IPV perpetration and victimization. Multiple mediation analy- ses controlling for sex assigned at birth and childhood IPV exposure showed significant effects from CEA to IPV perpetration and victimization via decreased self-worth but not compromised attachment. Follow-up analyses by the sex assigned at birth showed an indi- rect pathway from CEA to IPV perpetration through compromised caregiver attachment for females.

Participants include 106 youth ranging from ages 7 to 11 (55.6% male, Mage = 9.3 years). NED scores were computed as the variance in self-reports of nega- tive emotions across multiple time points. ER processes were measured using autobiographical emotion interviews and resting respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) during a baseline task. Children’s anxiety and depression symptoms were evaluated using validated measures. NED is expected to (1) relate to depressive symptoms, (2) moderate the effectiveness and selection of both adaptive and maladaptive ER strategies, and (3) moderate the relationship between RSA and psychopathology. Initial correlational and independent t-test analyses revealed that NED was not directly associated with psychopathology. Instead, NED was positively related to separation anxiety for youth who did not use support-seek- ing strategies. NED was also higher for children who did not use cognitive re- framing strategies compared to children who did. Additional analyses revealed that resting RSA had a protective effect against some facets of psychopathology based on specific regulation strategies used.

This research aims to identify real alternative splicing events at genes that can serve as therapeutic targets. Alternative splicing is a critical process by which exons within pre-mRNA are either in- cluded or removed to generate diverse mRNAs and proteins. Transcriptomic data from the livers of both male and female mice under several different conditions–fed versus fasted, wildtype, and ɑ7HMZ mice were analyzed for splicing events using an RNA- seq program, DEXSeq. ɑ7HMZ mice express an alternative form of the transcription factor HNF4a, a critical liver and metabolism regulator. Current RNA-seq programs cannot distinguish alternative splicing from other activity occurring at the gene locus, so manual curation is necessary. Using a curation criterion, I manually analyzed 177 genes identified by the program for alternative splicing events.

The study identified several organizational barriers that complicated the re- lationships between student-run organic gardens and student-run free clinics. The SRCG was a loosely coupled organization with little centralized cybernetic control, and the lack of orga- nizational structure in SRCGs made it challenging to use SRFCs as outlets for providing fresh food to patients in the free clinics.

The traditional, tablet form of the Flanker task is widely used and well-cited. Recently, the UCR Brain Game Center has developed a Virtual Reality (VR) Flanker game. After the project is created, the next step is to validate its usefulness with a pilot study, which is the focus of this research paper. This pilot study addressed two central research questions. The first research question was: would the newly developed VR Flanker task measure inhibitory control as well as the traditional, tablet Flanker task? In Pilot Study 1, participants were first randomly assigned to either the VR or computer form of the Flanker task, and then utilized the alternative platform in the second session. The second research question was: would different versions of the VR Flanker task yield different measurements of inhibitory control? In Pilot Study 2, participants were randomly assigned to either the Regular VR Flanker task or the Jitter VR Flanker task during the first session. The second session employed the version that participants were not assigned to in the previous session. The study compared the standard performance measure of the difference in reaction time between congruent and incongruent tasks (Flanker effect) in both Pilot studies. The results demonstrate that VR Flanker tasks are a valid way to measure inhibitory control. Pilot 1 found that Flanker effects produced in the tablet and VR Flanker tasks are similar, while Pilot 2 found that greater Flanker effects could be produced with a different presentation of stimuli in the virtual environment. Once it is established that the VR task measures inhibitory control as well as the tablet version, there would be multiple benefits for neurological tools and testing in different populations. The advantage of a VR Flanker game is that it can serve both as a fun method to assess Flanker effects and as a training tool.

The inspiration for this interpretation is as much academic as it is anthropological. It comes from Updike’s use of my own surname, Glavanakova, which is not a common Slavic one, for the fictional character of the real-life Bulgarian poetess he met, whom researchers have established to be Blaga Dimitrova. Many have delved into the text aiming at a detailed and, more significantly, an authentic reconstruction of events, places and people appearing in the story (Katsarova 2010; Kosturkov 2012; Briggs and Dojčinović 2015). A main preoccupation of these analyses has been to establish the degree of factual distortion in Updike’s representation of the people and places behind the Iron Curtain. The pervasive imagery of the mirror, implying both its reflecting and doubling function, and the repetitive use of cognates associated with truth and honesty in the story suggest the focus of this article, which falls on the dynamics between authenticity and artifice from the perspective of autofiction by way of illustrating how one culture translates into another “at the opposite side[s] of the world” (Updike, “The Bulgarian Poetess”).

The unique physiologic characteristics of patients with LVADs present a challenge to emergency clinicians making treatment and disposition decisions. Despite the increasing prevalence of LVADs, literature describing emergency department (ED) visits among this population is sparse. We aimed to describe clinical characteristics and outcomes among patients with LVADs seen in two quaternary-care EDs in a five-year period. Secondarily, we sought to evaluate mortality rates and ED return rates for bridge to transplant (BTT) and destination therapy (DT) patients.\nMethods: \nWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients known to have an LVAD who were evaluated in two quaternary-care EDs from 2013–2017. Data were collected from the electronic health record and summarized with descriptive statistics. We assessed patient outcomes with mixed-effects logistic regression models including a random intercept to account for patients with multiple ED visits.\nResults: \nDuring the five-year study period, 290 ED visits among 107 patients met inclusion criteria. The median patient age was 61 years. The reason for LVAD implantation was BTT in 150 encounters (51.7%) and DT in 140 (48.3%). The most common presenting concerns were dyspnea (21.7%), bleeding (18.6%), and chest pain (11.4%). Visits directly related to the LVAD were infrequent (7.9%). Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator discharge was reported in 3.4% of visits. A majority of patients were dismissed home from the ED (53.8%), and 4.5% required intensive care unit admission. Among all patients, 37.9%returned to the ED within 30 days, with similar rates between DT and BTT patients (32.1 vs 43.3%; P = 0.055). The LVAD was replaced in three cases (1.0%) during hospitalization. No deaths occurred in the ED, and the mortality rate within 30 days was 2.1% among all patients.\nConclusion:\n In this multicenter cohort study of ED visits among patients with an LVAD, dyspnea, bleeding, and chest pain were the most common presenting concerns.

Our objective was to compare key resource utilization and safety outcomes between patients with euglycemic and hyperglycemic DKA from the same period.\nMethods:\n This is a retrospective review of adult emergency department patients in DKA at an academic medical center. Patients were included if they were >18 years old, met criteria for DKA on initial laboratories (pH ≤7.30, serum bicarbonate ≤18 millimoles per liter [mmol/L], anion gap ≥10), and were managed via a standardized DKA order set. Patients were divided into euglycemic (<250 milligrams per deciliter [mg/dL]) vs hyperglycemic (≥250 mg/dL) cohorts by presenting glucose. We extracted and analyzed patient demographics, resource utilization, and safety outcomes. Etiologies of euglycemia were obtained by manual chart review. For comparisons between groups we used independent-group t-tests for continuous variables and chi-squared tests for binary variables, with alpha 0.05.\nResults: \nWe identified 629 patients with DKA: 44 euglycemic and 585 hyperglycemic. Euglycemic patients had milder DKA on presentation (higher pH and bicarbonate, lower anion gap; P < 0.05) and lower initial glucose (195 vs 561 mg/dL, P < 0.001) and potassium (4.3 vs 5.3 mmol/L, P < 0.001). Etiologies of euglycemia were insulin use prior to arrival (57%), poor oral intake with baseline insulin use (29%), and SGLT2 inhibitor use (14%). Mean time on insulin infusion was shorter for those with euglycemic DKA: 13.5 vs 19.4 hours, P = 0.003. Mean times to first bicarbonate >18 mmol/L and first long-acting insulin were similar. Incidence of hypoglycemia (<70 mg/dL) while on insulin infusion was significantly higher for those with euglycemic DKA (18.2 vs 4.8%, P = 0.02); incidence of hypokalemia (<3.3 mmol/L) was 27.3 vs 19.1% (P = 0.23).\nConclusion:\n Compared to hyperglycemic DKA patients managed in the same protocolized fashion, euglycemic DKA patients were on insulin infusions 5.9 hours less, yet experienced hypoglycemia over three times more frequently.

Prior studies have generally shown durable, reusable medical devices to be environmentally superior to disposables, but this has not been investigated for pulse oximetry probes.\nObjective:\n Our goal was to compare the daily carbon footprint of single-use and reusable pulse oximeters in the emergency department (ED).\nMethods:\n Using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), we analyzed greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from pulse oximeter use in an urban, tertiary care ED, that sees approximately 150 patients per day. Low (387 uses), moderate (474 uses), and high use (561 uses), as well as cleaning scenarios, were modelled for the reusable oximeters and compared to the daily use of single-use oximeters (150 uses). We calculated GHG emissions, measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents (kgCO2e), across all life cycle stages using life-cycle assessment software and the ecoinvent database. We also carried out an uncertainty analysis using Monte Carlo methodology and calculated the break-even point for reusable oximeters.\nResults:\n Per day of use, reusable oximeters produced fewer greenhouse gases in low-, moderate-, and high-use scenarios compared to disposable oximeters: 3.9 kgCO2e, 4.9 kgCO2e, 5.7 kgCO2evs 23.4 kgCO2e, respectively). An uncertainty analysis showed there was no overlap in emissions, and a sensitivity analysis found reusable oximeters only need to be used 2.3 times before they match the emissions created by a single disposable oximeter. Use phases associated with the greatest emissions varied between oximeters, with the cleaning phase of reusables responsible for the majority of its GHG emissions (99%) compared to the production phases of the single-use oximeter (74%).\nConclusion:\n Reusable pulse oximeters generated fewer greenhouse gas emissions per day of use than their disposable counterparts. Given that the pulse oximeter is an ubiquitous piece of medical equipment used in emergency care globally, carbon emissions could be significantly reduced if EDs used reusable rather than single-use, disposable oximeters.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.

The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. We compared the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC) and calibration results of the conventional method (normal value imputation for missing PaO2) and six SpO2-based methods: using methods A, B, PaO2 is estimated by dividing SpO2 by a scale; with methods C and D, PaO2 was estimated by a mathematical model from a previous study; with methods E, F, respiratory SOFA scores was estimated by SpO2 thresholds and respiratory support use; with methods A, C, E are SpO2-based estimation for all PaO2 values, while methods B, D, F use such estimation only for missing PaO2 values.\nResults:\n Among the 15,119 patients included in the study, the in-hospital mortality rate was 4.9%. The missing PaO2was 56.0%. The calibration plots were similar among all methods. Each method yielded AUROCs that ranged from 0.735–0.772.

A Systematic Review of Two-bag Intravenous N-acetylcysteine Regimens for Acetaminophen Poisoning", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Introduction\n: Acetaminophen poisoning is commonly treated by emergency physicians. First-line therapy is N-acetylcysteine (NAC), traditionally administered intravenously via a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved three-bag protocol in which each bag has a unique concentration and infusion duration. Recently, simplified, off-label two-bag NAC infusion protocols have become more common. The purpose of this review is to summarize the effectiveness and safety of two-bag NAC.\nMethods:\n We undertook a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE from inception to December 13, 2022, for articles describing human acetaminophen poisonings treated with two-bag NAC, defined as any regimen involving two discrete infusions in two separate bags. Outcomes included effectiveness (measured by incidence of liver injury); incidence of non-allergic anaphylactoid reactions (NAAR); gastrointestinal, cutaneous, and systemic reactions; treatments for NAARs; incidence of NAC-related medication errors; and delays or interruptions in NAC administration.\nResults: \nTwelve articles met final inclusion, 10 of which compared two-bag NAC to the three-bag regimen. Nine articles evaluated the two-bag/20-hour regimen, a simplified version of the FDA-approved three-bag regimen in which the traditional first and second bags are combined into a single four-hour infusion. Nine articles assessed comparative effectiveness of two-bag NAC in terms of liver injury, most commonly assessed for by incidence of hepatotoxicity (aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase >1,000 international units per liter). No difference in liver injury was observed between two-bag and three-bag regimens. Of nine articles comparing incidence of NAARs, eight demonstrated statistically fewer NAARs with two-bag regimens, and one showed no difference. In seven articles evaluating treatment for NAARs (antihistamines, corticosteroids, epinephrine), all showed that patients received fewer medications for NAARs with two-bag NAC. Three articles evaluated NAC-related medication errors; two demonstrated no difference, while one study evaluating only children showed fewer errors with two-bag NAC. Two studies evaluated delays and/or interruptions in NAC infusions; both favored two-bag NAC.\nConclusion:\n For patients with acetaminophen poisoning, two-bag NAC regimens appear to have similar outcomes to the traditional three-bag regimen in terms of liver injury. Two-bag NAC regimens are associated with fewer adverse events and fewer treatments for those events than the three-bag regimen and fewer interruptions in antidotal therapy.", "language": "en", "license": { "name": "Creative Commons Attribution 4.0", "short_name": "CC BY 4.0", "text": "Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
