Abstract

Objective: The measurement of Q-angle lacks standardization, with the potential risk of failing to detect clinically relevant findings and misjudgments on types of interventions needed in patellofemoral pathologies. The aim of this study was to implement a machine-learning model for the accurate and reliable measurement of Q-angle directly from radiographs. Materials and Methods: A total of 187 radiographs (of which approximately 50 belonging to pediatric patients) were manually annotated for the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), the center of the patella, and the tibial tuberosity and then enhanced by means of different image preprocessing techniques. Eighty-five percent of X-rays were used for training and 15% for testing and validation. Prediction performance was tested using the full-leg radiograph (WLR) and the bounding boxes (BB) models in terms of mean squared error compared to the ground truth (key points and Q-angles determined by the operator). Results: Overall, mean prediction errors were the smallest for the patella and ASIS and the highest for the tibial tuberosity. The BB model yielded smaller mean errors in the prediction of all points and Q-angle compared to WLR (except for tibial tuberosity, which was comparable) and showed the highest agreement with ground truth, with no bias for Q-angle. Conclusions: This proof-of-concept study supports the use of an AI-driven automatic algorithm to identify the key points for measuring Q angle directly from the patient's radiographs. Results demonstrate the highest reliability with the bounding box approach and the algorithm's ability to correctly identify key points across a heterogeneous patient population.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Image-guided vacuum-assisted breast biopsy (VABB) of the tumour bed, performed after neoadjuvant therapy, is increasingly being used to assess residual cancer and to potentially identify to identify pathological complete response (pCR). In this study, the accuracy of preoperative VABB specimens was assessed and compared with surgical specimens in patients with triple-negative or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive invasive ductal breast cancer after neoadjuvant therapy. As a secondary endpoint, the performance of contrast-enhanced MRI of the breast and PET-CT for response prediction was assessed. METHODS: This single-institution prospective pilot study enrolled patients from April 2018 to April 2021 with a complete response on imaging (iCR) who subsequently underwent VABB before surgery. Those with a pCR at VABB were included in the primary analysis of the accuracy of VABB. The performance of imaging (MRI and PET-CT) was analysed for prediction of a pCR considering both patients with an iCR and those with residual disease at postneoadjuvant therapy imaging. RESULTS: Twenty patients were included in the primary analysis. The median age was 44 (range 35-51) years. At surgery, 18 of 20 patients showed a complete response (accuracy 90 (95 per cent exact c.i. 68 to 99) per cent). Only two patients showed residual ductal intraepithelial neoplasia of grade 2 and 3 respectively. In the secondary analysis, accuracy was similar for MRI and PET-CT (77 versus 78 per cent; P = 0.76). CONCLUSION: VABB in patients with an iCR might be a promising method to select patients for de-escalation of surgical treatment in triple-negative or HER2-positive breast cancer. The present results support such an approach and should inform the design of future trials on de-escalation of surgery.

Abstract

The present study aims at defining the economic and organizational impacts of the introduction of chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) in Italy, for the management of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients in third-line therapy, defining the overall level of sustainability for both hospitals and the National Healthcare System (NHS). The analysis focused on CAR-T and Best Salvage Care (in the following BSC), assuming the Italian hospital and NHS perspectives, over a 36-month time horizon. Process mapping and activity-based costing methodologies were applied to collect the hospital costs related to the BSC and CAR-T pathways, including adverse event management. Anonymous administrative data on services provided (diagnostic and laboratory examinations, hospitalizations, outpatient procedures, and therapies) to 47 third-line patients with lymphoma, as well as any organizational investments required, were collected, in two different Italian Hospitals. The economic results showed that the BSC clinical pathway required less resources in comparison with CAR-T (excluding the cost related to the therapy) (BSC: 29,558.41 vs. CAR-T: EUR 71,220.84, −58.5%). The budget impact analysis depicts that the introduction of CAR-T would generate an increase in costs ranging from 15% to 23%, without considering treatment costs. The assessment of the organizational impact reveals that the introduction of CAR-T therapy would require additional investments equal to a minimum of EUR 15,500 to a maximum of EUR 100,897.49, from the hospital perspective. Results show new economic evidence for healthcare decision makers, to optimize the appropriateness of resource allocation. The present analysis suggests the need to introduce a specific reimbursement tariff, both at the hospital and at NHS levels, since no consensus exists, at least in the Italian setting, concerning the proper remuneration for the hospitals who guarantee this innovative pathway, assuming high risks related t

Abstract

This review paper examines the hydrogeological characteristics and challenges of urban groundwater management in ten major Italian cities: Torino, Milano, Padova, Bologna, Roma, Pescara, Napoli, Bari, Catania, and Cagliari. Urbanisation has placed significant pressure on groundwater systems, highlighting the need for sustainable management. The study categorises the cities based on their hydrogeological settings and groundwater uses, identifying key issues such as salinisation, industrial contamination, and land subsidence. The findings emphasise the importance of urban local aquifers (ULAs) not only for meeting the demand for both drinking and industrial water but also for providing ecological support. The paper advocates for integrated urban water management and governance to enhance resilience against potential future water shortages and climate change impacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aim was to isolate and characterize CTCs in blood samples of Ewing sarcoma (ES) patients exploiting two main characteristics: CD99 expression and presence of chromosomal translocations.Materials and methods: The method isolated CTCs from peripheral blood (PB) of ES patients. Cell-surface CD99 was a useful marker for CTCs determined using immunomagnetic separation with microbeads and CD99 monoclonal antibody. We tested sensitivity and specificity by detecting CTCs in blood collected from healthy donors and randomly during therapy from 18 ES patients. Evidence of CTCs was confirmed by detection of specific molecular markers using quantitative and digital reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction targeting EWSR1/FLI1 type 1 and type 2 or EWSR1/ETS-related gene transcripts type 1 and type 9e.Results: Feasibility of finding CTCs in PB of ES patients by immunoseparation with CD99 antibody and magnetic microbeads was demonstrated for the first time. At molecular analysis, three PB specimens tested positive for chimeric EWSR1/FLI1 type 2 and one PB for chimeric EWSR1/FLI1 type 2. CTCs detection was found above a limit of detection of 1 cell/mL of PB.Conclusion: CTCs in PB of ES patients can be identified by this method and in ES CTCs analysis can be used as a liquid biopsy approach for prognostic and predictive purposes. The potential clinical implications of CTCs in PB samples detected by the platform for CTC isolation with molecular confirmation during therapy require further evaluation.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to encourage a reflection on the changes that occurred in Aegean archaeological terminology during the last sixty years. Comparing select Nestor database entries with the same entries in the JSTOR digital library, it is possible to recognize the appearance, popularity, and eventual decline of specific words used in books and articles titles. The changing use of archaeological terminology also potentially parallels the socio-anthropological use of the same terms.

Abstract

IntroductionX-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common inherited peroxisomal disorder caused by variants in the ABCD1 gene. The main phenotypes observed in men with X-ALD are primary adrenal insufficiency, adrenomyeloneuropathy, and cerebral ALD (cALD). Cerebral ALD consists of a demyelinating progressive cerebral white matter (WM) disease associated with rapid clinical decline and is fatal if left untreated. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the standard treatment for cALD as it stabilizes WM degeneration when performed early in the disease. For this reason, early diagnosis is crucial, and several countries have already implemented their newborn screening programs (NBS) with the assessment of C26:0-lysophosphatidylcholine (C26:0-LPC) values as screening for X-ALD.MethodsIn June 2021, an Italian group in Lombardy launched a pilot study for the implementation of X-ALD in the Italian NBS program. A three-tiered approach was adopted, and it involved quantifying the values of C26:0-LPC and other metabolites in dried blood spots with FIA-MS/MS first, followed by the more specific ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) technique and, finally, the genetic confirmation via focused NGS.DiscussionGenetically confirmed patients are set to undergo a follow-up protocol and are periodically evaluated to promptly start a specific treatment if and when the first signs of brain damage appear, as suggested by international guidelines. A specific disease monitoring protocol has been created based on literature data and personal direct experience.ConclusionThe primary aim of this study was to develop a model able to improve the early diagnosis and subsequent follow-up and timely treatment of X-ALD.EthicsThe study was approved by the local ethics committee. The research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationship that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.

Abstract

The Mediterranean common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, was an important symbolic icon in the Greek Bronze Age, and is a very widespread motif encountered on pottery, paintings, jewellery and so on, although its connotation is not fully understood. This cephalopod is one of the 13 autochthonous octopods living in the Mediterranean and the most easily observable because it can be found in very shallow waters. In agreement with its scientific and vernacular names - e.g. Greek: ???????, English: octopus - the actual Octopus vulgaris has eight arms (or tentacles). However, in many Bronze age representations, the common octopus is figured with a variable number of arms, including odd numbers which disrupt its natural bilateral symmetry: we can find octopuses with 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and also 10 tentacles. Through an integrated analysis of archaeological contexts, iconographies with 'wrong' numbers of tentacles, zoological identification and biological features, the paper will explore the various ways it was represented, as well as human-animal interactions and possible symbolic meanings of this truly fascinating animal.

Abstract

Nei territori del Mediterraneo interno, spesso caratterizzati da limitata accessibilità e scarsa attrattività, la presenza diffusa di siti archeologici anche 'minori' può rivelarsi come una chiave di interpretazione di paesaggi in divenire e di orientamento per strategie di valorizzazione turistica integrata. In questi ambiti, il progetto di itinerari tematici multipli, accessibili e in rete può sistematizzare le peculiarità paesaggistiche e le forme di turismo compatibile, andando a definire trame di fruizione integrata e differenziata misurate dalla presenza di tappe archeologiche. Nei Balcani interni, zona di transito tra Oriente e Occidente già in età preistorica, la grande diffusione di siti archeologici testimonia il particolare senso che questo territorio ha avuto nel corso dei secoli come terreno d'incontro tra culture differenti e di scontro fra opposti imperialismi. Tra i maggiori insediamenti della Dalmazia romana, le antiche città di Doclea, (I-VII sec. d.C.) a nord della capitale Podgorica, e Municipium S, (I-V sec. d.C.) nel comune di Pljevlja a confine con la Serbia, presentano notevoli fattori di interesse in relazione alla costruzione di una prospettiva di valorizzazione legata all'Heritage Tourism. Ancora poco conosciuti a livello internazionale e in parte non scavati, i due siti sono al centro delle attività di ricerca di due progetti bilaterali Italia - Montenegro sviluppati dall'Istituto di Scienze del Patrimonio Culturale del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche. L'obiettivo dei progetti è quello di definire un approccio concreto e intersettoriale e una metodologia interscalare di valorizzazione dei paesaggi archeologici, che tenga conto delle differenti caratteristiche delle rovine e dei contesti, per orientare prospettive di sviluppo complessivo per questi territori a partire dalla loro specifica identità di aree di transito. In questo senso, il contributo presenta una prospettiva di valorizzazione del paesaggio dei Balcani interni attraverso la reinterpretazione dei due siti come tappe archeologiche di un sistema più ampio di fruizione turistica. Definita dal paesaggio fluviale e collinare della fascia periurbana settentrionale di Podgorica, Doclea viene riletta come l'innesco di una rete di percorsi escursionistici a carattere storico-naturalistico ed etnografico verso il doppio lungo fiume e i rilievi circostanti punteggiati da insediamenti fortificati. Più a nord, Municipium S rappresenta la tappa archeologica di un itinerario legato alla natura montuosa e selvaggia del paesaggio già caratterizzato da parchi attrezzati per lo svolgimento di attività sportive all'aperto e agli aspetti storico-religiosi in relazione alla presenza di importanti monumenti e del Museo Civico di Pljevlja

Abstract

This paper presents a feasibility study for the electrification of a farming tractor. In such an application the working cycle is not that trivial and then the system design is not straightforward: power has to be supplied at both road and power take off for implements. The purpose of this paper is to prove the convenience in adopting hyrid tractor. Therefore, duty cycles and powertrains for agriculture are introduced. Then, by means of simulations, consumptions are compared between traditional and hybrid tractor, including costs analysis. As first approach, the benefit of full electric mode usability for light duty is proved, regardless innovative power management strategies [1]. For this work a plug-in solution has been preferred, powered with a parallel mild hybrid electric powertrain.
