Pilonidal cyst normally manifests itself with the formation of ulcers or orifices predominantly in the sacrococcygeal region. It generally affects young males between 15 and 30 years of age . It has a reported incidence rate of 26 per 10,000 people and affects men 2.2 times more than women . It often tends towards a chronic course if the correct diagnostic- therapeutic course is not taken. Surgical treatment of pilonidal cysts is only recommended in the presence of symptomatic disease and is the only effective treatment in this case7-11. Improper cleaning of the wound bed slows healing and may promote complications such as infection or biofilm formation, which may lead to recurrence. In addition to surgical or conservative treatment , is required an adequate assessment of the skin tissue by a specialist wound care professional who can recognise all local signs that impede healing. Hence, the role of a specialist in Vulnology in the multidisciplinary team and in the post-operative phase may be necessary to take care of the person in a dedicated outpatient clinic, in order to assess the patient and to adopt targeted local treatment strategies. The article proposes a narrative review of the latest available evidence, considering the last 10 years, regarding surgical approaches and new biotechnologies for wound management, highlighting new treatment modalities and critical issues still to be investigated.

Although interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a powerful immunomodulatory factor that has been proposed for cancer immunotherapy, its intratumoral expression may be correlated with tumor progression and/or poor clinical outcome. Therefore, neoplasias potentially sensitive to immunotherapy should be checked for their IL-15 expression and function before choosing immunotherapy protocols. Primary human renal cancer cells (RCC) express a novel form of membrane-bound IL-15 (mb-IL-15), which displays three major original properties: (a) It is expressed as a functional membrane homodimer of 27 kDa, (b) it is shed in the extracellular environment by the metalloproteases ADAM17 and ADAM10, and (c) its stimulation by soluble IL-15 receptor α (s-IL-15Rα) chain triggers a complex reverse signal (mitogen-activated protein kinases, FAK, pMLC) necessary and sufficient to ~induce epithelial-mesenchymal transdifferentiation (EMT), a crucial process in tumor progression whose induction is unprecedented for IL-15. In these cells, complete EMT is characterized by a dynamic reorganization of the cytoskeleton with the subsequent generation of a mesenchymal/contractile phenotype (α-SMA and vimentin networks) and the loss of the epithelial markers E-cadherin and ZO-1. The retrosignaling functions are, however, hindered through an unprecedented cytokine/receptor interaction of mb-IL-15 with membrane-associated IL-15Rα subunit that tunes its signaling potential competing with low concentrations of the s-IL-15Rα chain. Thus, human RCC express an IL-15/IL-15R system, which displays unique biochemical and functional properties that seem to be directly involved in renal tumoral progression.

OBJECTIVES The study objectives are to assess associations between hospitalized children’s parental exposure to gun violence (GV) and parental beliefs about guns and gun safety; secondarily, the authors aim to describe parental views on the pediatrician’s role in firearm injury prevention (FIP) counseling. METHODS Parents residing with children RESULTS Enrollment included 225 parents or guardians. Although 75.5% agreed pediatricians should talk to parents about safe gun storage, 8.9% reported FIP counseling by their child’s doctor. There were no substantial differences in characteristics between those with GV exposure versus those without. The study revealed that 60.0% of participants reported hearing gunshots, and 41.8% had a friend/relative who had been shot; only 29.8% reported neither. There were no differences between groups in gun-related beliefs regardless of exposure. CONCLUSIONS In this population, there was no association between exposure to GV and gun-related beliefs. Most parents are receptive to FIP counseling, yet few have discussed FIP with their pediatrician despite high exposure to GV in this community. Nearly all parents agreed with the use of gunlocks and stricter laws for background checks. Regardless of exposure to GV, parents agreed with safe gun storage and support strengthening gun safety laws.

We review the type specimens belonging to 71 species of Indo-Pacific Triphoridae Gray, 1847 stored in the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris. We provide detailed information on the original description, a diagnosis according to the most recently recognized diagnostic characters, and curatorial and nomenclatorial notes. The lots of Triforis (Iniforis) mirifica var. lifuana Hervier, 1898, Mastonia funebris Jousseaume, 1884, Mastonia issa Jousseaume, 1898, Inella numerosa Jousseaume, 1898, Mastonia obesula Jousseaume, 1884, Obesula pantherina Jousseaume, 1898, Mastonia peanites Jousseaume, 1898, Inella perimensis Jousseaume, 1898, Inella rossiteri Jousseaume, 1884 and Obesula senilis Jousseaume, 1898 contained specimens belonging to multiple species and we here designate lectotypes to stabilize nomenclature. We invalidate the neotype designation of T. pupaeformis Deshayes, 1863 because of significant differences between the neotype and Deshayes’ original description. Triforis plicatus Deshayes, 1834 is a Newtoniellidae Korobkov, 1955. Finally, we consider the name Triphora lamyi Selli, 1974 unavailable.

REMARKS. — The type series contains several lots and more than one species. Lot MNHN-IM-2000-482 contained a Cerithiopsid (Fig. 60U). The lot MNHN-IM-2000-480 contains a single white specimen (Fig. 60 R-S), with a more elongated shape, and thicker and more strongly tubercled spiral cords on the base. Similar white specimens were present in MNHN-IM-IM-2000-481 (2 specimens, but one is so worn to hamper any identification). MNHN-IM-2000-482 contained a white specimen with a weaker first spiral cord (Fig. 60T); its general appearance may reflect a teratological specimen as well as a distinct species, but the shell condition is inadequate for a precise identification. Last,the type series contained also two fresh pink to violet specimens (“ rosacea-rubida ” as in Jousseaume’s original description). One of them shares the same approximate number of whorls and size as in the original description and is here designated as lectotype to stabilize nomenclature (Fig. 60 A-F)., Published as part of Albano, Paolo G., Franco, Davide Di, Azzarone, Michele, J., Piet A., Bakker & Sabelli, Bruno, 2023, Review of the types of Indo-Pacific Triphoridae (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, pp. 13-106 in Zoosystema 45 (2) on page 90, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2023v45a2, http://zenodo.org/record/7569742, {"references":["JOUSSEAUME F.

Shell cyrtoconoid with c. 9 (MNHN syntype) to c. 13 (Savigny’s figure) flat whorls, with two main spiral cords with tubercles at the intersection with slightly prosocline axial ribs and a third cord developing in between in the lower half of the shell, initially as a fine smooth cord and with well-developed tubercles only on the last whorl. Peristome missing in the MNHN syntype. Base with three, apparently tubercled, additional cords. MSNG specimen with multispiral protoconch. MNHN syntype generally whitishgreyish, but colour unreliable due to the state of the specimen; still an orange stripe is visible between the main cords, suggesting a dichromatic colour pattern. REMARKS. — Issel’s original description is based on the specimen illustrated by Savigny (1817) (see also Bouchet & Danrigal (1982)). The resolution of this figure is very low and the diagnostic characters are not present in sufficient detail. The MNHN syntype is in terrible condition, lacking the apex, part of the last whorl, and being very worn. Still, it matches Savigny’s illustration well. The MSNG syntype is in better condition. Its label clearly states that the specimen comes from raised beaches and is thus a fossil specimen., Published as part of Albano, Paolo G., Franco, Davide Di, Azzarone, Michele, J., Piet A., Bakker & Sabelli, Bruno, 2023, Review of the types of Indo-Pacific Triphoridae (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, pp. 13-106 in Zoosystema 45 (2) on page 59, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2023v45a2, http://zenodo.org/record/7569742, {"references":["ISSEL A. 1869. - Malacologia del Mar Rosso.

Posterior sinus shallow. Base with two additional smooth spiral cords. Protoconch missing in the syntypes. Teleoconch whorls with brown flammulae on a white background. The first thread is darker. Protoconch brown. REMARKS. — The specimens marked as syntypes belong to different species. Lot MNHN-IM-2000-1576 (Fig. 11 B-I) contains the specimen best matching the original description and figure but lacks the uniform brown colour cited in the original description (“ omnino castaneofusca ”). Lot MNHN-IM-2000-1577 contains three specimens belonging to two species different from T. triliratus: two are fragments that have the second spiral cord just as a fine thread (Fig. 11K, L), the third is probably a Viriolopsis B. A. Marshall, 1983 (Fig. 11M). Lot MNHN-IM-2000-1578 contains a damaged specimen which is probably T. intergranosa Hervier, 1898 (Fig. 11N). This situation would require the designation of a lectotype. However, we still do not know the intraspecific variability of this species-group and thus if the syntype MNHN-IM-2000-1576 can really belong to T. triliratus as described. Therefore, we prefer to avoid any designation until the group is better understood., Published as part of Albano, Paolo G., Franco, Davide Di, Azzarone, Michele, J., Piet A., Bakker & Sabelli, Bruno, 2023, Review of the types of Indo-Pacific Triphoridae (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris, pp. 13-106 in Zoosystema 45 (2) on page 27, DOI: 10.5252/zoosystema2023v45a2, http://zenodo.org/record/7569742, {"references":["DESHAYES G.

Whorls about 15: first whorls brownish, narrow, with two unequal and equidistant spiral cords, adorned by transparent granules. The first cord is smaller, coloured in brown-yellow in the last whorl; the second cord is larger, characterised by a discontinuous yellow cord between the granules. Last whorl is quite long, depressed at the base, adorned by four granulated spiral cords; in the dorsal part (at about half of the whorl), it is characterised by a very long tubular siphon near the suture, adorned by a cancellated structure with four granulated spiral cords and striae, extending to the aperture.

REMARKS. — The original lot contained a specimen (Fig. 21 B-F, H, I) and a fragment (Fig. 21 J-N), the latter not matching the description of lifuana but possibly of Contraforis insulana Laseron, 1958 or Triphora (Iniforis) bellula Kosuge, 1961. Triforis lifuana is characterized by the dark interspaces between tubercles on the last spiral cord and by having more numerous and less prominent such tubercles.
