Abstract

The challenges of using technology in the insurance field are opening new horizons for developing and distributing innovative products. Among these, peer-to-peer insurance schemes attract the interest of policyholders and insurance companies. Different types of peer-to-peer insurance have been introduced, from pure models to hybrid ones, as in the case of the broker model. In this paper, we focus on the broker model, where the groups of peers are formed by an insurance broker according to similar risk characteristics. The participants in the network pay an initial contribution defined by a cooperative rule that must be transparent and shared. A part or the whole of the collected contributions is set aside in a common fund. At the end of the year, if the common fund is sufficient to pay for the claims, the members obtain the excess over-retained premiums that is shared according to a capital allocation rule. We propose a cashback distribution mechanism based on the participant’s marginal contribution to the risk, framing the issue in a cooperative game and applying the concept of Shapley value to define an optimal allocation rule of the remaining capital. A numerical application based on a portfolio of motor third-party liability policies is developed to show how the model works

Abstract

Background Age- and height-adjusted total kidney volume is currently considered the best prognosticator in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. We tested the ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 for the prediction of the Mayo Clinic Imaging Classes. Methods Urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 levels were measured in two independent cohorts (discovery, n = 74 and validation set, n = 177) and healthy controls (n = 59) by immunological assay. Magnetic resonance imaging parameters were used for total kidney volume calculation and the Mayo Clinic Imaging Classification defined slow (1A–1B) and fast progressors (1C–1E). Microarray and quantitative gene expression analysis were used to test epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 gene expression. Results Baseline ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 correlated with total kidney volume adjusted for height (r = − 0.6, p r = 0.69 p p r = − 0.51, p 132 (100% slow) and p = 6.51E−16). Further, the ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 at baseline showed a positive correlation (p = 0.006, r = 0.36) with renal outcome (delta-estimated glomerular filtration rate per year, over a mean follow-up of 4.2 ± 1.2 years). Changes in the urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 were mirrored by gene expression levels in both human kidney cysts (epidermal growth factor: − 5.6-fold, fdr = 0.001; monocyte chemotactic peptide 1: 3.1-fold, fdr = 0.03) and Pkd1 knock-out mouse kidney (Egf: − 14.8-fold, fdr = 2.37E-20, Mcp1: 2.8-fold, fdr = 6.82E−15). Conclusion The ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 is a non-invasive pathophysiological biomarker that can be used for clinical risk stratification in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

FAECAL EVALUATION OF PDG IN A FEMALE OKAPI (NOME SCIENTIFICO) TO DEFINE OESTRUS CYCLE AND FERTILE WINDOW FOR REPRODUCTION PROGRAM OF CONSERVATION Rebecca Andreini1,3, Annalisa Zaccaroni1, Renato-Piccinini,2 Giuseppe Piscopo3,4 1 DIMEVET Bologna University 2 Parco Zoo Falconara Marittima 3 Delfini Bizantini Research Association 4 Veterinary Medicine Naples University The okapi (Okapia Johnstoni) number is declining rapidly in their native habitat and the species is listed as endangered in the IUCN red list. To increase conservation efforts and to improve the welfare of okapis under human care, the evaluation of endocrine profile is an essential part of the scientific research. The need to use a non-invasive matrix for the endocrine analysis in wild life species is linked to the difficulty in obtaining blood samples and to the necessity to not stress the animals with restraining and medical procedure that could affect their welfare. This study aims to evaluate the faecal concentration of pregnanediol-3-glucoronide (PDG) in faeces of a young female hosted in Falconara Marittima zoo, Italy. Faeces have been collected twice a week, immediately after the emission, by zoo staff from March to April 2019. Samples have been labelled and stored at – 20 °C till analysis. For hormones extraction 200 μg of faeces have been weighted and added with 2 ml of ethanol, vortexed at 100 rpm for 60 minutes, centrifuged at 2500 rpm for 20 minutes and dried. For PDG detection an ELISA kit has been used, following test procedure. As far as we know few information are available regarding oestrous cycle and reproduction of the okapi, so a comparison of our results with bibliographic data was difficult. Despite this, we analysed our results in order to define the different phases of the oestrous cycle and to estimate their length with the goal to identify the fertile window of the subject. The results will allow scientists to have a further knowledge of the physiology of this species and will represent an essential step to define best strategies for the management of the subjects under human care and to establish programmes to strengthen the effort in assisted reproduction.

Abstract

Aonyx cinereus is the smallest otter existing, listed as Vulnerable under IUCN red list. Data on diet and nutritional intake of this species in the wild are scarce. Despite this, one of the most important parameters in the management of Aonyx cinereus in captivity, is the development of an appropriate diet program. The diet should meet nutritional needs of animals, guarantee an adequate intake of essential trace elements and be free from non-essential metals that could induce harmful effects. The three subjects included in this study arrived to Maitine Zoo few months ago and are the first specimens hosted in the park. For those reasons, we collected samples of food and faces of otters on weekly basis for 7 weeks, evaluating protein, lipidic and caloric content of the daily food rations of the animals. Moreover, we analysed concentration of trace elements in food and faeces, to define if the diet is balanced and safe and to acquire information about the metabolic processes of clawed otters. This study provides scientific data on Aonyx cinereus nutritional needs, metabolism and possible exposure to detrimental contaminants, giving useful information to implement the welfare and the health status of clawed otters under human care.

Abstract

Consumer credit today has become an important form of diversification in the banking offer and it is a fundamental tool for the acquisition of new customers. The assessment of credit risk and therefore the reliability of the customer, is a fundamental aspect which needs to be explored because it has direct influences both on the level of the interest rates applied on the loan and on the timing of credit disbursement, with strong implications on customer satisfaction. There are various methods which can be used in the field of credit scoring including those of a statistical nature. One of the most used model is the logit one. The purpose of this paper is to provide empirical evidence about the application of the logistic model in the analysis of credit scoring.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: An increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity has been widely reported in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). In this study, a subanalysis of the AntiThrombotic Agents Atrial Fibrillation (ATA‐AF) is performed with the aim to evaluate estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as an independent prognostic marker of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in patients with AF. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ATA‐AF study enrolled 7148 patients with AF, in 360 Italian centers. The eGFR was calculated from data reported in patient notes or hospital database. This post‐hoc analysis included 1097 AF patients with eGFR data available and 1‐year clinical follow‐up. The endpoint was assessed as cardiovascular mortality and/or hospital admission for cardiovascular causes at follow‐up. Patients were also divided in two groups according to the eGFR (

Cardiac function was evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography measurements before and after treatment for 2 or 7 days, by using a Vevo 2100 high-resolution imaging system. After echocardiography, mice were euthanized, and hearts were processed for histological evaluations, such as cardiac fibrosis, apoptosis, capillary density, and inflammatory response.Results: Trastuzumab-related cardiotoxicity was detected early by 2D strain imaging. Radial strain was reduced after 2 days in mice treated with trastuzumab alone (21.2%±8.0% vs 40.5%±4.8% sham; P

Abstract

The Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease(ADPKD) is the most frequent renal genetic condition and involves 7 to 10% of subjects undergoing renal replacement therapy. It is estimated that between 24,000 and 34,000 subjects in Italy are affected by this condition. For an illness that has long been neglected due to a lack of treatment options, an attractive treatment possibility is now available: tolvaptan has shown clinical efficacy regarding disease progression in two clinical trials (ADPKD patients with mild renal failure and ADPKD patients with advanced renal failure). The possible liver toxicity expressed in about 4% of the subjects exposed to the drug and an important aquaretic effect suggest prudence and attention in the use of this new molecule. Based on these critical points, some clinicians with direct experience in the use of the drug have briefly collected in the pages to follow the main clinical recommendations for the treatment of ADPKD patints. The recommendations concern the general approach to the patient affected by ADPKD but with particular attention to the aspects related to the new treatment. The delicate task of introducing the opportunities and limitations of the offered therapy to the patient will be deepened. Finally, the document wants to suggest how best to organize a clinic dedicated to this condition.

Abstract

Purpose: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness, measured by echocardiography, is associated to the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and severe aortic stenosis (AS). EAT thickness is commonly referred as the diameter of the echo-free space between the right ventricular wall and the visceral layer of the pericardium in parasternal long axis view, using the aortic annulus as an anatomic landmark (EAT-1). We aimed to demonstrate that the direct measurement of the adipose tissue thickness visualized in the space between the ascending aorta and the right ventricle (EAT-2) might be considered an alternative method. Methods: We measured EAT-1 and EAT-2 in 130 pts with severe cardiac disease referred for cardiac surgery: 53 pts with isolated AS, 49 pts with severe CAD, and 28 pts with both severe AS and CAD (AS+CAD); and in 50 control subjects matched for age, sex and BMI. The two measurements were obtained at end-systole in 3 cardiac cycles (figure). Results. Both EAT-1 and EAT-2 measurements had an excellent reproducibility. With respect to controls pts had significantly increased EAT-1 (2,4 ± 0,5mm vs 6 ± 2mm; p<0,05) and EAT-2 (3 ± 1,2mm vs 12 ± 3mm; p<0,05). EAT-1 and EAT-2 were not statistically different in controls. EAT-2 was significantly higher than EAT-1 in CAD, AS, and AS+CAD pts (p<0,05). Interestingly, EAT-2, but not EAT-1, was significantly increased in AS+CAD pts with respect to EAT-2 of pts with isolated AS and isolated CAD. Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that EAT-2, as well as EAT-1, is a valuable method to measure EAT thickness. Further, EAT-2 seems to better recognize EAT increase, in pts with AS+CAD. Comprehensively, EAT-2 is greater than EAT-1. The larger space between ascending aorta and right ventricle, allowing EAT expansion, could justify our observation.

Abstract

Introduction: The increase of left auricular volume (LAV) is a robust cardiovascular event predictor. Despite that echochardiography is more often used, cardiac MRI is considered more accurate. Our objetives are to validate "fast" LAV measures by MRI vs the considered gold standard (GS) and to compare Echo and MRI in a wide spectrum of patients. Methods: In a non-selected popullation with MRI study previously realized, we measured LAV by biplane method (BPMR) and by area-length in 4 chamber view (ALMR) and compared them with biplane (BPe) and discs method (MDDe) in 4 chamber view in echo. To validate MRI measurements, we measured LAV in short axis slices (Simpson Method, SM) in a group of patients and considered it the GS. Results: 186 patients were included (mean age 51 ± 17 age; 123 male; 14 in AF) with clinical indication of cardiac MRI (Philips 1,5 T). In 24 patients SM was calculated. 29% of cardiac MRI were considered normal. Mean underlying pathologies were myocardiopathy (27%), Ischemic myocardiopathy (17%), myopericarditis (10%), prior to AF ablation (4%), valvular disease (6%) and miscellaneous (7%). Excellent correlation was obtained between "fast" MRI measurements and SM in MRI (SM vs BPMR interclass correlation coefficient ICC=0.965 and SM vs ALMR, ICC=0.958; P<0.05) with low interobserver variability (ICC=0.983 for SM; ICC=0.949 for BPMR; ICC=0.931 for ALMR). "Fast" measurements by MRI showed stadistical correlation between them (CCI=0.910) (Figure). Correlation between Echo and MRI measures was only moderate. (BPRM vs BPe CCI=0,469 mean difference -30 ml; ALMR vs MDDe ICC=0,456 mean difference -24 mL). Conclusions: ‘fast’ LAV measures by MRI are comparable with the MRI GS and also between them. Echo values seem to underestimate compared to MRI, so its use may not be suitable.

Abstract

Purpose: Although delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DEMRI) is essential for diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), the test was not available when pacemaker was implamted. Recently, MR-conditional pacemaker has become avilable and we hypothesized that this device would be useful for diagnosis and management of CS. The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic ability of MR-conditional pacemaker about CS in patients with advanced A-V nodal block (AAVB). Methods: Twenty-seven AAVB patients (14 men, 13 women; mean age, 69 ± 11 years) who were implanted MR-conditional pacemaker were studied. DEMRI was performed 6 weeks after implantation of permanent pacemaker. In patients with positive for DE, additional examinations like echocardiography, radioisotope imaging, biopsy, and coronary computed-tomography were performed due to confirm the diagnosis of CS and exclude coronary artery disease. Results: DE was observed in 12 patients (44 %). Out of 12 patients, 2 patients were excluded for having prior myocardial infarction. Seven of 10 (70 %) patients were diagnosed of CS by the consensus criteria. Compared with non-CS group, CS group had significantly lower age (61 ± 12 years vs. 72 ± 9 years p = 0.017). There was no significant difference about sex, angiotensin-converting enzyme, brain natriuretic peptide, and left ventricular ejection fraction between 2 groups. Six patients had started corticosteroid therapy and 5 patients (83%) recovered A-V nodal conduction. Conclusion: MR-conditional pacemaker was useful for diagnosis and management of patients with AAVB caused by CS. Figure Cardiac MRI in patient with AV block

Abstract

Reverse mortgages (RMs) are acquiring a growing centrality to meet the needs of a progressive aging population and to support the fragility of traditional pension systems. With an RM, an elderly individual gets a lump sum or a series of recur- ring payments whose amounts depend upon the expected liquidation value of his property and his age; he continues living in it until he dies, when the asset is sold and the proceeds are used to pay back the loan. The risk of these contracts, due to volatility of interest rates, house prices, and mortality rates, requires care- ful management strategies. This article analyzes the risk profile of the contract and suggests a securitization procedure where the lender averts the risks of the contract by engaging into an insurance contract through a special purpose vehicle that will issue ad-hoc bonds, whose underlying is determined by the lender’s gain/loss on the contract.

Abstract

Current crisis, causing structural long-term changes in the economy and society, is offering a challenge to the insurance sector, whose primary role lies in the protection of individuals and productive activities. The insurance industry can take this opportunity towards achieving the objective of social well-being with the design of new insurance products and incentives. In this work we propose a particular type of securitization scheme where the health risk in a broad sense is transferred to capital market. For example, this tool can be exploited by firms to cover the risks of damage to the health of workers and office workers. Certain discount policies by insurance companies may encourage activities aimed at improving the health system and the work safety. An appropriate morbidity index is used to price this type of policy. Numerical results are offered and discussed.

Abstract

Reverse mortgages (RM) are an attractive tool to increase retirement incomes and to face the needs of health care for elderly people. The investor in the RM market faces several risks: longevity risk, as retirees’ life expectancy increases, interest rate risk, especially in the low-rate post-crisis period, property market risk, in the last stage of the current business cycle. In our pricing model we incorporate the overall risk of the RM, focusing on the feature of the developing Chinese market.

Abstract

Changes in demographic structure of a country and economic condition are interconnected causes of new needs that motivate the launch of new financial instruments. One of these is the Reverse Mortgage (RM): a contract in which a homeowner borrows a part or the totality of the future liquidation value of his/her home at the time of his/her death. The paper analyses the contractual details and discusses the impact of the main variables on the lamp sum that an elderly homeowner receives at the inception of the contract. The risks factors that influence the pricing of the RM are both strictly demographic, i.e. the life of the contractor, and financial, in particular the evolution of the real estate market and of the financial market.

Abstract

In its basic structure, the reverse mortgage (RM) is a contract where a home owner borrows a part or the totality of the future liquidation value of his home at the time of his death. The risks that are borne by the lender are linked to the volatility of the real estate market, that is the house price risk, the financial market risk, that is the interest rate risk, and the uncertainty of the borrower’s lifetime, that is the longevity risk. The quantification of the future liquidation value and its valuation at the issue time is fundamental in the construction of the RM contract either in the perspective of the lender or in the one of the borrower. In the paper, we explore the use of neural networks to project the real estate market data; this approach allows to obtain a predictive analysis of the pricing process and indeed provides a dynamic pricing algorithm.

Abstract

Cardiotoxicity is one of the most significant adverse effects of the oncologic treatment with doxorubicin, which is responsible for a substantial morbid and mortality. Small molecules derived from medicinal plants with anti-inflammatory properties could have cardioprotective activites so potentially used in cardio-oncology management. Nanomedicine offer a new pharmacological tool able to increase bioavailability and protect natural bioactives with antiinflammatory and cardioprotective action.

Abstract

The improvement in cancer therapy and the increasing number of long term survivors unearth the issue of cardiovascular side effects of anticancer treatments. As a paradox in cancer survivors, delayed cardiotoxicity has emerged as a significant problem. Two categories of cardiotoxic side effects of antineoplastic drugs have been previously proposed: Type I cardiotoxicity, defined as permanent cardiotoxicity, is usually caused by anthracyclines; Type II cardiotoxicity, considered as reversible cardiotoxicity, has been mainly related to monoclonal antibodies. The cardiotoxicity of antibodies has been associated to trastuzumab, a humanized anti-ErbB2 monoclonal antibody currently in clinical use for the therapy of breast carcinomas, which induces cardiac dysfunction when used in monotherapy, or in combination with anthracyclines. Furthermore, recent retrospective studies have shown an increased incidence of heart failure and/or cardiomyopathy in patients treated with trastuzumab, that can persist many years after the conclusion of the therapy, thus suggesting that the side toxic effects are not always reversible as it was initially proposed. On the other hand, early detection and prompt therapy of anthracycline associated cardiotoxicity can lead to substantial recovery of cardiac function. On the basis of these observations, we propose to find a new different classification for cardiotoxic side effects of drugs used in cancer therapy.

Abstract

Background: Age- and height-adjusted total kidney volume is currently considered the best prognosticator in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. We tested the ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 for the prediction of the Mayo Clinic Imaging Classes., Methods: Urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 levels were measured in two independent cohorts (discovery, n = 74 and validation set, n = 177) and healthy controls (n = 59) by immunological assay. Magnetic resonance imaging parameters were used for total kidney volume calculation and the Mayo Clinic Imaging Classification defined slow (1A-1B) and fast progressors (1C-1E). Microarray and quantitative gene expression analysis were used to test epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 gene expression., Results: Baseline ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 correlated with total kidney volume adjusted for height (r = - 0.6, p < 0.001), estimated glomerular filtration rate (r = 0.69 p < 0.001), discriminated between Mayo Clinic Imaging Classes (p < 0.001), and predicted the variation of estimated glomerular filtration rate at 10 years (r = - 0.51, p < 0.001). Conditional Inference Trees identified cut-off levels of the ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 for slow and fast progressors at > 132 (100% slow) and < 25.76 (89% and 86% fast, according to age), with 94% sensitivity and 66% specificity (p = 6.51E-16). Further, the ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 at baseline showed a positive correlation (p = 0.006, r = 0.36) with renal outcome (delta-estimated glomerular filtration rate per year, over a mean follow-up of 4.2 ± 1.2 years). Changes in the urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 were mirrored by gene expression levels in both human kidney cysts (epidermal growth factor: - 5.6-fold, fdr = 0.001; monocyte chemotactic peptide 1: 3.1-fold, fdr = 0.03) and Pkd1 knock-out mouse kidney (Egf: - 14.8-fold, fdr = 2.37E-20, Mcp1: 2.8-fold, fdr = 6.82E-15)., Conclusion: The ratio of urinary epidermal growth factor and monocyte chemotactic peptide 1 is a non-invasive pathophysiological biomarker that can be used for clinical risk stratification in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease., (© 2022.
