Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to identify which factors were associated with a risk of hospital readmission within 3 months after discharge of a sample of elderly patients admitted to internal medicine and geriatric wards. Methods: Of the 1178 patients aged 65 years or more and discharged from one of the 66 wards of the 'Registry Politerapie SIMI (REPOSI)' during 2010, 766 were followed up by phone interview 3 months after discharge and were included in this analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association of several variables with rehospitalization within 3 months from discharge. Results: Nineteen percent of patients were readmitted at least once within 3 months after discharge. By univariate analysis in-hospital clinical adverse events (AEs), a previous hospital admission, number of diagnoses and drugs, comorbidity and severity index (according to Cumulative Illness Rating Scale-CIRS), vascular and liver diseases with a level of impairment at discharge of 3 or more at CIRS were significantly associated with risk of readmission. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that only AEs during hospitalization, previous hospital admission, and vascular and liver diseases were significantly associated with the likelihood of readmission. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the need for increased medical attention towards elderly patients discharged from hospital with characteristics such as AEs during the hospitalization, previous admission, vascular and liver diseases.

Abstract: none 330 Women live longer and outnumber men. On the other hand, older women develop more chronic diseases and conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and depression, leading to a greater number of years of living with disabilities. The aim of this study was to describe whether or not there are gender differences in the demographic profile, disease distribution and outcome in a population of hospitalized elderly people.Retrospective observational study including all patients recruited for the REPOSI study in the year 2010. Analyses are referred to the whole group and gender categorization was applied.A total of 1380 hospitalized elderly subjects, 50.5\% women and 49.5\% men, were considered. Women were older than men, more often widow and living alone or in nursing homes. Disease distribution showed that malignancy, diabetes, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were more frequent in men, but hypertension, osteoarthritis, anemia and depression were more frequent in women. Severity and comorbidity indexes according to the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS-s and CIRS-c) were higher in men, while cognitive impairment evaluated by the Short Blessed Test (SBT), mood disorders by the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and disability in daily life measured by Barthel Index (BI) were worse in women. In-hospital and 3-month mortality rates were higher in men.Our study showed a gender dimorphism in the demographic and morbidity profiles of hospitalized elderly people, emphasizing once more the need for a personalized process of healthcare. none S.

Abstract: Aims: The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the prescription of QT-prolonging drugs at hospital admission and discharge and the risk factors associated with their use in older people (aged 65Âyears and older). Methods: Data were obtained from the REPOSI (REgistro POliterapie SIMI [SocietÃ Italiana di Medicina Interna]) registry, which enrolled 4035 patients in 2008 (nÂ=Â1332), 2010 (nÂ=Â1380), and 2012 (nÂ=Â1323). Multivariable logistic regression was performed to determine the risk factors independently associated with QT-prolonging drug use. QT-prolonging drugs were classified by the risk of Torsades de Pointes (TdP) (definite, possible, or conditional) according to the Arizona Center for Education and Research on Therapeutics (AzCERT) classification. Specific drug combinations were also assessed. Results: Among 3906 patients prescribed at least one drug at admission, 2156 (55.2Â%) were taking at least one QT-prolonging drug. Risk factors independently associated with the use of any QT-prolonging drugs were increasing age (odds ratio [OR] 1.02, 95Â% CI 1.01â1.03), multimorbidity (OR 2.69, 95Â% CI 2.33â3.10), hypokalemia (OR 2.79, 95Â% CI 1.32â5.89), atrial fibrillation (OR 1.66, 95Â% CI 1.40â1.98), and heart failure (OR 3.17, 95Â% CI 2.49â4.05). Furosemide, alone or in combination, was the most prescribed drug. Amiodarone was the most prescribed drug with a definite risk of TdP. Both the absolute number of QT-prolonging drugs (2890 vs. 3549) and the number of patients treated with them (2456 vs. 2156) increased at discharge. Among 1808 patients not prescribed QT-prolonging drugs at admission, 35.8Â% were prescribed them at discharge. Conclusions: Despite their risk, QT-prolonging drugs are widely prescribed to hospitalized older persons. The curriculum for both practicing physicians and medical students should be strengthened to provide more education on the appropriate use of drugs in order to improve the management of hospitalized older people.

Abstract: none 327 si Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis (TP) is known to reduce venous thromboembolism (VTE) in medical inpatients, but the criteria for risk-driven prescription, safety and impact on mortality are still debated. We analyze data on elderly patients with multimorbidities admitted in the year 2010 to the Italian internal medicine wards participating in the REPOSI registry to investigate the rate of TP during the hospital stay, and analyze the factors that are related to its prescription. Multivariate logistic regression, area under the ROC curve and CART analysis were performed to look for independent predictors of TP prescription. Association between TP and VTE, bleeding and death in hospital and during the 3-month post-discharge follow-up were explored by logistic regression and propensity score analysis. Among the 1,380 patients enrolled, 171 (15.2 %) were on TP during the hospital stay (162 on low molecular weight heparins, 9 on fondaparinux). The disability Barthel index was the main independent predictor of TP prescription. Rate of fatal and non-fatal VTE and bleeding during and after hospitalization did not differ between TP and non-TP patients. In-hospital and post-discharge mortality was significantly higher in patients on TP, that however was not an independent predictor of mortality. Among elderly medical patients there was a relatively low rate of TP, that was more frequently prescribed to patients with a higher degree of disability and who had an overall higher mortality. mixed Marcucci M;

Abstract: Background It is well known that atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with a higher risk of stroke, and new evidence links AF to cognitive impairment, independently from an overt stroke (CI). Our aim was to investigate, assuming an underlying role of atrial microembolism, the impact of CI and CKD in elderly hospitalized patients with AF. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the data collected on elderly patients in 66 Italian hospitals, in the frame of the REPOSI project. We analyzed the clinical characteristics of patients with AF and different degrees of CI. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to explore the relationship between variables and mortality. Results Among the 1384 patients enrolled, 321 had AF. Patients with AF were older, had worse CI and disability and higher rates of stroke, hypertension, heart failure, and CKD, and less than 50% were on anticoagulant therapy. Among patients with AF, those with worse CI and those with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) had a higher mortality risk (odds ratio 1.13, p = 0.006). Higher disability levels, older age, higher systolic blood pressure, and higher eGFR were related to lower probability of oral anticoagulant prescription. Lower mortality rates were found in patients on oral anticoagulant therapy. Conclusions Elderly hospitalized patients with AF are more likely affected by CI and CKD, two conditions that expose them to a higher mortality risk. Oral anticoagulant therapy, still underused and not optimally enforced, may afford protection from thromboembolic episodes that probably concur to the high mortality.

Abstract: none 22 no Background: Few studies evaluated the clinical outcomes of Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP), Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia (HAP) and Health Care-Associated Pneumonia (HCAP) in relation to the adherence of antibiotic treatment to the guidelines of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS) in hospitalized elderly people (65 years or older). Methods: Data were obtained from REPOSI, a prospective registry held in 87 Italian internal medicine and geriatric wards. Patients with a diagnosis of pneumonia (ICD-9 480-487) or prescribed with an antibiotic for pneumonia as indication were selected. The empirical antibiotic regimen was defined to be adherent to guidelines if concordant with the treatment regimens recommended by IDSA/ATS for CAP, HAP, and HCAP. Outcomes were assessed by logistic regression models. Results: A diagnosis of pneumonia was made in 317 patients. Only 38.8% of them received an empirical antibiotic regimen that was adherent to guidelines. However, no significant association was found between adherence to guidelines and outcomes. Having HAP, older age, and higher CIRS severity index were the main factors associated with in-hospital mortality. Conclusions: The adherence to antibiotic treatment guidelines was poor, particularly for HAP and HCAP, suggesting the need for more adherence to the optimal management of antibiotics in the elderly with pneumonia. none Raffaella Rossio; Carlotta Franchi; Ilaria Ardoino; Codjo D.

Abstract: Background: Increased serum uric acid has been considered a cardiovascular risk factor but no study has assessed its relation with hospital mortality or length of stay. On the basis of data obtained from a prospective registry, the prevalence of gout/hyperuricemia and its association with these and other clinical parameters was evaluated in an Italian cohort of elderly patients acutely admitted to internal medicine or geriatric wards. Methods: While the prevalence of gout was calculated by counting patients with this diagnosis hyperuricemia was inferred in patients taking allopurinol at hospital admission or discharge, on the assumption that this drug was only prescribed owing to the finding of high serum levels of uric acid. A series of clinical and demographic variables were evaluated for their association with gout/hyperuricemia. Results: Of 1380 patients, 139 (10%) had a diagnosis of gout or were prescribed allopurinol. They had more co-morbidities (7.0 vs 5.6; P < 0.0001) and consumed more drugs (6.8 vs 5.0; < b 0.0001). The CIRS (co-morbidity index) was worse in these patients (OR 1.28 95% CI 1.15-1.41). Multivariable regression analysis showed that only renal and heart failures were independently associated with gout/allopurinol intake. Moreover, this combined event was associated with an increased risk of adverse events during hospitalization (OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.16-2.36), but not with the risk of re-hospitalization, length of hospital stay or death. Conclusions: Gout/allopurinol intake has a high prevalence in elderly patients acutely admitted to hospital and are associated with renal and cardiovascular diseases, an increased rate of adverse events and a high degree of drug consumption. In contrast, this finding did not affect the length of hospitalization nor hospital mortality.

Abstract: Background: It is well known that atrial fibrillation (AF) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with a higher risk of stroke, and new evidence links AF to cognitive impairment, independently from an overt stroke (CI). Our aim was to investigate, assuming an underlying role of atrial microembolism, the impact of CI and CKD in elderly hospitalized patients with AF. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data collected on elderly patients in 66 Italian hospitals, in the frame of the REPOSI project. We analyzed the clinical characteristics of patients with AF and different degrees of CI. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to explore the relationship between variables and mortality. Results: Among the 1384 patients enrolled, 321 had AF. Patients with AF were older, had worse CI and disability and higher rates of stroke, hypertension, heart failure, and CKD, and less than 50% were on anticoagulant therapy. Among patients with AF, those with worse CI and those with lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) had a higher mortality risk (odds ratio 1.13, p = 0.006). Higher disability levels, older age, higher systolic blood pressure, and higher eGFR were related to lower probability of oral anticoagulant prescription. Lower mortality rates were found in patients on oral anticoagulant therapy. Conclusions: Elderly hospitalized patients with AF are more likely affected by CI and CKD, two conditions that expose them to a higher mortality risk. Oral anticoagulant therapy, still underused and not optimally enforced, may afford protection from thromboembolic episodes that probably concur to the high mortality.

Abstract: Background Scores for cardio-embolic and bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation are described in the literature. However, it is not clear how they co-classify elderly patients with multimorbidity, nor whether and how they affect the physician's decision on thromboprophylaxis. Methods Four scores for cardio-embolic and bleeding risks were retrospectively calculated for â¥ 65 year old patients with atrial fibrillation enrolled in the REPOSI registry. The co-classification of patients according to risk categories based on different score combinations was described and the relationship between risk categories tested. The association between the antithrombotic therapy received and the scores was investigated by logistic regressions and CART analyses. Results At admission, among 543 patients the median scores (range) were: CHADS22 (0-6), CHA2DS2-VASc 4 (1-9), HEMORR2HAGES 3 (0-7), HAS-BLED 2 (1-6). Most of the patients were at high cardio-embolic/high-intermediate bleeding risk (70.5% combining CHADS2and HEMORR2HAGES, 98.3% combining CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED). 50-60% of patients were classified in a cardio-embolic risk category higher than the bleeding risk category. In univariate and multivariable analyses, a higher bleeding score was negatively associated with warfarin prescription, and positively associated with aspirin prescription. The cardio-embolic scores were associated with the therapeutic choice only after adjusting for bleeding score or age. Conclusion REPOSI patients represented a population at high cardio-embolic and bleeding risks, but most of them were classified by the scores as having a higher cardio-embolic than bleeding risk. Yet, prescription and type of antithrombotic therapy appeared to be primarily dictated by the bleeding risk. Â© 2013 European Federation of Internal Medicine.

Abstract: Background: As chronicity represents one of the major challenges in the healthcare of aging populations, the understanding of how chronic diseases distribute and co-occur in this part of the population is needed. Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate and compare patterns of diseases identified with cluster analysis in two samples of hospitalized elderly. Methods: Data were obtained from the multicenter ‘Registry Politerapie SIMI (REPOSI)' that included people aged 65 or older hospitalized in internal medicine and geriatric wards in Italy during 2008 and 2010. The study sample from the first wave included 1,411 subjects enrolled in 38 hospitals wards, whereas the second wave included 1,380 subjects in 66 wards located in different regions of Italy. To analyze patterns of multimorbidity, a cluster analysis was performed including the same diseases (19 chronic conditions with a prevalence >5%) collected at hospital discharge during the two waves of the registry. Results: Eight clusters of diseases were identified in the first wave of the REPOSI registry and six in the second wave. Several diseases were included in similar clusters in the two waves, such as malignancy and liver cirrhosis; anemia, gastric and intestinal diseases; diabetes and coronary heart disease; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and prostate hypertrophy. Conclusion: These findings strengthened the idea of an association other than by chance of diseases in the elderly population.

Abstract: Background and purpose Women live longer and outnumber men. On the other hand, older women develop more chronic diseases and conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis and depression, leading to a greater number of years of living with disabilities. The aim of this study was to describe whether or not there are gender differences in the demographic profile, disease distribution and outcome in a population of hospitalized elderly people. Methods Retrospective observational study including all patients recruited for the REPOSI study in the year 2010. Analyses are referred to the whole group and gender categorization was applied. Results A total of 1380 hospitalized elderly subjects, 50.5% women and 49.5% men, were considered. Women were older than men, more often widow and living alone or in nursing homes. Disease distribution showed that malignancy, diabetes, coronary artery disease, chronic kidney disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were more frequent in men, but hypertension, osteoarthritis, anemia and depression were more frequent in women. Severity and comorbidity indexes according to the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS-s and CIRS-c) were higher in men, while cognitive impairment evaluated by the Short Blessed Test (SBT), mood disorders by the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and disability in daily life measured by Barthel Index (BI) were worse in women. In-hospital and 3-month mortality rates were higher in men. Conclusions Our study showed a gender dimorphism in the demographic and morbidity profiles of hospitalized elderly people, emphasizing once more the need for a personalized process of healthcare. © 2014 European Federation of Internal Medicine.

Abstract: Purpose: Dural ectasia (DE) may significantly impact Marfan syndrome (MFS) patients' quality of life due to chronic lower back pain, postural headache and urinary disorders. We aimed to evaluate the association of quantitative measurements of DE, and their evolution over time, with demographic, clinical and genetic characteristics in a cohort of MFS patients., Methods: We retrospectively included 88 consecutive patients (39% females, mean age 37.1 ± 14.2 years) with genetically confirmed MFS who underwent at least one MRI or CT examination of the lumbosacral spine. Vertebral scalloping (VS) and dural sac ratio (DSR) were calculated from L3 to S3. Likely pathogenic or pathogenic FBN1 variants were categorized as either protein-truncating or in-frame. The latter were further classified according to their impact on the cysteine content of fibrillin-1., Results: Higher values of the systemic score (revised Ghent criteria) were associated with greater DSR at lumbar (p < 0.001) and sacral (p = 0.021) levels. Patients with protein-truncating variants exhibited a greater annual increase in lumbar (p = 0.039) and sacral (p = 0.048) DSR. Mutations affecting fibrillin-1 cysteine content were linked to higher VS (p = 0.009) and DSR (p = 0.038) at S1, along with a faster increase in VS (p = 0.032) and DSR (p = 0.001) in the lumbar region., Conclusion: Our study shed further light on the relationship between genotype, dural pathology, and the overall clinical spectrum of MFS. The identification of protein-truncating variants and those impacting cysteine content may therefore suggest closer patient monitoring, in order to address potential complications associated with DE., (© 2024.

Subjects: Infant, Newborn, Humans, Face, Brain diagnostic imaging, Central Nervous System, Cleft Palate
Abstract: In 1990, Gorlin et al. described four types of craniofacial duplications: (1) single mouth with duplication of the maxillary arch; (2) supernumerary mouth laterally placed with rudimentary segments; (3) single mouth with replication of the mandibular segments; and (4) true facial duplication, namely diprosopus. We describe a newborn born with wide-spaced eyes, a very broad nose, and two separate mouths. Workup revealed the absence of the corpus callosum and the presence of a brain midline lipoma, wide sutures, and a Chiari I malformation with cerebellar herniation. We conducted a systematic review of the literature and compared all the cases described as diprosopus. In 96% of these, the central nervous system is affected, with anencephaly being the most commonly associated abnormality. Other associated anomalies include cardiac malformations (86%), cleft palate (63%), diaphragmatic hernia (13%), and disorder of sex development (DSD) (13%). Although the facial features are those that first strike the eye, the almost obligate presence of cerebral malformations suggests a disruptive event in the cephalic pole of the forming embryo. No major monogenic contribution has been recognized today for this type of malformation.

Abstract: Split Hand-Foot Malformation (SHFM) is a congenital limb defect characterized by a median cleft of the hands and/or feet due to the absence/hypoplasia of the central rays. It may occur as part of a syndromic condition or as an isolated malformation. The most common of the six genetic loci identified for this condition is correlated to SHFM1 and maps in the 7q21q22 region. SHFM1 is characterized by autosomal dominant transmission, incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Associated features often include hearing loss, intellectual disability/developmental delay and craniofacial abnormalities. Disruption of the DLX5/DLX6 genes, mapping within the SHFM1 locus, is now known to be responsible for the phenotype. Through SNP array, we analyzed a patient affected by SHFM1 associated with deafness and an abnormality of the inner ear (incomplete partition type I); we identified a deletion in 7q21, not involving the DLX5 /6 genes, but including exons 15 and 17 of DYNC1I1 , known to act as exonic enhancers (eExons) of the DLX5 /6 genes. We further demonstrated the role of DYNC1I1 eExons in regulating DLX5 /6 expression by means of showing a reduced expression of the DLX5 /6 genes through RT-PCR in a patient-derived lymphoblastoid cell line. Furthermore, our data and a review of published cases do not support the hypothesis that DLX5 /6 are imprinted in humans. This work is an example of how the disruption of regulatory elements can be responsible for congenital malformations.

Abstract: Introduction: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is the most common inherited connective tissue disorder and its association with intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) has been debated for more than two decades. Here, we report the prevalence of ICAs at screening neuroimaging in a population of genetically confirmed MFS patients and present the results of a meta-analysis including our cohort of patients and those of previous studies., Patients and Methods: We enrolled 100 consecutive MFS patients, who underwent screening with brain magnetic resonance angiography at our tertiary center between August 2018 and May 2022. We did a PubMed and Web of Science search to retrieve all studies on the prevalence of ICAs in patients with MFS published before November, 2022., Results: Of the 100 patients included in this study (94% Caucasians, 40% females, mean age 38.6 ± 14.6 years), three had an ICA. We pooled the current study with five previously published studies, including a total of 465 patients, 43 of which harbored at least one unruptured ICA, leading to an overall ICA prevalence of 8.9% (95% CI 5.8%-13.3%)., Discussion and Conclusion: In our cohort of genetically confirmed MFS patients, the prevalence of ICAs was 3%, which is substantially lower compared to previous studies based on neuroimaging. The high frequency of ICA found in previous studies could be explained by selection bias and lack of genetic testing, which may have led to the inclusion of patients with different connective tissue disorders. Further studies, including several centers and a large number of patients with genetically confirmed MFS, are needed to confirm our results.

Abstract: The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between intracranial arterial tortuosity and cardiovascular outcome in patients with Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS). We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients with genetically confirmed LDS who underwent at least one brain MRA at our institution (n = 32); demographic and clinical features were evaluated in relation to the tortuosity of intracranial arteries as measured by tortuosity index (TI), which was calculated using the formula: [(centerline length) / (straight-line length)-1] × 100. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis for intracranial TI and the binary end point of aortic surgery showed vertebrobasilar TI (VBTI) to be the best classifier among the examined arterial segments (AUC = 0.822). Patients with higher VBTI showed a greater incidence of aortic surgery (p < 0.001) and underwent more surgical and endovascular procedures (p = 0.006), with a higher rate of operations (p = 0.002). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly longer surgery-free survival in patients with lower arterial tortuosity (p < 0.001). At multivariate analysis, higher VBTI was associated with an increased risk of surgery (p < 0.001), which was independent of gene mutation and patient age. Increased VBTI is a marker of adverse cardiovascular outcome in patients with LDS, which can be easily measured on brain MRA, and may be useful in the management of this heterogeneous patient population., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) encompass rare, sporadic neurodevelopmental disorders and usually with pediatric onset. As these conditions are characterized by marked clinical and genetic heterogeneity, whole-exome sequencing (WES) represents the strategy of choice for the molecular diagnosis. While its usefulness is well established in pediatric DEE cohorts, our study is aimed at assessing the WES feasibility in adult DEE patients who experienced a diagnostic odyssey prior to the advent of this technique. We analyzed exomes from 71 unrelated adult DEE patients, consecutively recruited from an Italian cohort for the EPI25 Project. All patients underwent accurate clinical and electrophysiological characterization. An overwhelming percentage (90.1%) had already undergone negative genetic testing. Variants were classified according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics guidelines. WES disclosed 24 (likely) pathogenic variants among 18 patients in epilepsy-related genes with either autosomal dominant, recessive or X-linked inheritance. Ten of these were novel. We obtained a diagnostic yield of 25.3%, higher among patients with brain malformations, early-onset epilepsy and dysmorphisms. Despite a median diagnostic delay of 38.7 years, WES analysis provided the long-awaited diagnosis for 18 adult patients, which also had an impact on the clinical management of 50% of them., (© 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

21. Maintenance of renal function in a patient with a history of acute paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria-associated kidney injury.

Author: Re F, Manfra I, Russo F, Plenteda C, Spolzino A, Follini E, Gullo M, Romano C, Baroni MC, and Aversa F
Abstract: Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, life-threatening blood disorder characterized by intravascular hemolysis, thrombosis and bone marrow failure. Acute kidney injury, including acute renal failure, have been reported in patients with PNH. We report the case of a 36-year-old male patient with PNH who developed acute kidney injury following an infection of undetermined diagnosis. Although hemolysis was initially controlled and renal function stabilized following packed red blood cell transfusion and empirical levofloxacin and prednisone, he later experienced recurrent episodes of hemolysis and hematuria requiring monthly red blood cell support. Given the high risk of thromboembolic events, treatment with standard-dose eculizumab was started. The patient's hematologic values improved, renal function was maintained, and no thromboembolic events occurred.

Abstract: The emergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) bacteria has become a medical and veterinary problem. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) show potential to overcome antibiotic resistance and could be used therapeutically. A novel AMP (AMP2041) was developed in silico and its microbiocidal activity against MDR clinical strains isolated from cattle (n=6), dogs (n=8), and pigs (n=20) was evaluated. AMP2041 showed strong antimicrobial activity against all Gram-positive and Gram-negative MDR clinical strains tested. Within 20 min of incubation, there was complete killing of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27953 and a 90% reduction of colony count for Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. For Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, a 90% reduction of colony count was observed within 120 min of incubation., (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)

Abstract: Antimicrobial-peptide-based therapies could represent a reliable alternative to overcome antibiotic resistance, as they offer potential advantages such as rapid microbicidal activity and multiple activities against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens. Three synthetic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), AMP72, AMP126, and also AMP2041, designed by using ad hoc screening software developed in house, were synthesized and tested against nine reference strains. The peptides showed a partial β-sheet structure in 10-mM phosphate buffer. Low cytolytic activity towards both human cell lines (epithelial, endothelial, and fibroblast) and sheep erythrocytes was observed for all peptides. The antimicrobial activity was dose dependent with a minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) ranging from 0.17 to 10.12 μM (0.4-18.5 µg/ml) for Gram-negative and 0.94 to 20.65 μM (1.72-46.5 µg/ml) for Gram-positive bacteria. Interestingly, in high-salt environment, the antibacterial activity was generally maintained for Gram-negative bacteria. All peptides achieved complete bacterial killing in 20 min or less against Gram-negative bacteria. A linear time-dependent membrane permeabilization was observed for the tested peptides at 12.5 µg/ml. In a medium containing Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺, the peptide combination with EDTA restores the antimicrobial activity particularly for AMP2041. Moreover, in combination with anti-infective agents (quinolones or aminoglycosides) known to bind divalent cation, AMP126 and AMP2041 showed additive activity in comparison with colistin. Our results suggest the following: (i) there is excellent activity against Gram-negative bacteria, (ii) there is low cytolytic activity, (iii) the presence of a chelating agent restores the antimicrobial activity in a medium containing Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺, and (iv) the MBC value of the combination AMPs-conventional antibiotics was lower than the MBC of single agents alone., (Copyright © 2013 European Peptide Society and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.)

Abstract: Purpose: In TFK-1 and EGI-1 cholangiocarcinoma cell lines, zoledronic acid (ZOL) determines an S-phase block without apoptosis. Here, we investigated the occurrence of apoptosis stigmata when ZOL is associated to the BH3-mimetic ABT-737., Methods: In EGI-1 and TFK-1 cholangiocarcinoma cell lines untreated or treated with ABT-737 alone or in combination with ZOL, the pro-survival protein's pattern (BCL-2, BCL-XL, MCL-1, HSP72, HSP27) was investigated by biochemical criteria along with the occurrence of mitochondrial damage evaluated by cytofluorimetric analysis using a cationic dye., Results: ABT-737 induced growth inhibition and significantly affected the colony-forming ability of both EGI-1 and TFK-1 cells. However, activated PARP-1 or/and caspase-3 cleavage (apoptosis markers) were detected only at the highest ABT-737 concentrations used. Combined treatment showed synergistic effect by converting the predominant cytostatic effect of ZOL into a cytotoxic one as shown by striking increment of mitochondrial harmed cells along with PARP-1 activation and caspase-3 cleavage., Conclusion: The lack of apoptosis following ZOL treatment in these cholangiocarcinoma cell lines appears to be multifactorial and could be ascribed to the large constitutive expression of pro-survival proteins. The efficacy of ZOL treatment requires a concomitant unleashing of apoptosis using a selective BH3-mimetic as ABT-737. The rational targeting of specific components of the apoptotic pathway may appear a useful approach to improve the treatment of refractory or relapsed cholangiocarcinoma. Combined treatment could be further explored in in vivo tumor model of cholangiocarcinoma.

Abstract: Objective: Thyroid autoimmunity is a common side effect of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) treatment for chronic hepatitis C. There are currently no reliable parameters to predict the occurrence of thyroid dysfunctions in patients undergoing IFN-alpha therapy. CXC chemokine ligand 10 (CXCL10) is a chemokine known to play a role in both thyroid autoimmune disease and hepatitis C virus (HCV) hepatitis., Design: The aim of this study was to evaluate serum CXCL10 levels in HCV patients treated with IFN-alpha in relation to the occurrence of thyroid dysfunctions. Serum CXCL10 levels were assayed in 25 HCV patients (proven to be negative for serum thyroid antibodies) before and during IFN-alpha therapy (2, 4 and 6 months) and in 50 healthy controls. HCV patients were retrospectively selected according to the occurrence of IFN-alpha-induced thyroid dysfunction and were assigned to two groups. Group I included 15 patients who did not develop thyroid antibody positivity or dysfunction; group II included ten patients who showed the appearance of serum thyroid antibodies, followed by clinically overt thyroid dysfunction., Results: Patients with HCV, regardless of the development of thyroid dysfunctions, had significantly higher serum CXCL10 than controls (261.6+/-123.4 vs 80.4+/-33.6 pg/ml; P<0.00001). Pretreatment mean serum CXCL10 levels were significantly higher in Group I versus Group II (308.6+/-130.7 vs 191.1+/-69.4 pg/ml; P<0.05). Groups I and II showed different rates of favourable response to IFN-alpha treatment (33 and 90% respectively)., Conclusion: Our results suggest that measuring serum CXCL10 before IFN-alpha treatment may be helpful for identifying those patients with higher risk to develop thyroid dysfunction, and require a careful thyroid surveillance throughout the treatment.

Abstract: Almost 70-80% of the patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM) in advancer phase, of the disease show osteolytic lesions and/or pathologic fractures, with or without secondary osteoporosis. An accelerated osteoclast-mediated bone absorption is believed to be the main cause of bone damage in MM. Osteoclast can be activated by a variety of microenvironmental factors. Bisphosphonates (BF) induce the apoptosis of osteoclasts and inhibit osteoclastogenesis, thus preventing bone absorption. As well as BFs, the so-called second-generation BF (N-BF) may impair the activity of osteoclast. Neridronic acid (NER) is a N-BF molecule officially registered for the treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta. Nevertheless, NER has shown a remarkable efficacy in Paget's disease, postmenopausal osteoporosis and, most recently, in androgen deprivation-treated prostatic carcinoma. The primary endpoint of this study was to evaluate hip and spine Bone Mineral Density (BMD) modifications over the 12-month treatment with NER in a group of patients affected by MM with evidence of initial skeletal damage. Secondary endpoints were (1) changes of calcium and total Alkaline Phosphatase (tAP) plasma levels during treatment with NER and (2) tolerability of 100 mg NER monthly administration for 12 months. These data suggest that NER, if administered at these doses and timing, might allow at least for one year sustained BMD increases in patients. NER has been highly tolerated in this study. The almost complete absence of adverse effects has prompted us to reduce the time of infusions at the end of the study. In conclusion, this study provides the first data on the efficacy and safety of NER in patients with MM-induced bone damage. These initial data encourage wider phase III trials to clearly assess its efficacy in preventing skeletal-related events and its possible anti-neoplastic properties.

Abstract: Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) occurs in 2-3% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients, whereas autoimmune thrombocytopenia is very rare before the diagnosis of lymphoma. A 67-year-old patient, was admitted to our Department because of purpura on his inferior limbs. Family history revealed arterial hypertension, a previous presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies, with no sign of liver damage. Physical examination showed purpura of inferior limbs. Laboratory analysis revealed: marked thrombocytopenia (platelet count 5000/microL); hypogammaglobulinemia (9%, immunoglobulin-IgG 634 mg/dL); presence of HCV antibody (negative HCV-RNA); low-titer anti-nuclear antibody and anti-smooth muscle antibody (1:80); positive cryoglobulin (polycolonal, IgG-IgM, cryocrit 0.5%). Abdomen ultrasound revealed a mild liver steatosis and bone marrow aspirate megakaryocytic hyperplasia. Platelet kinetics study showed a markedly reduced platelet half-life (<1 day) with evident splenic uptake. The patient was treated with steroids, intravenous Ig and immunosuppressive agent (cyclophosphamide) with only temporary effect; a splenectomy was therefore performed with a subsequent durable increase in the platelet count. Two years later, the patient underwent a prostatectomy for prostate cancer and within the pelvic nodal screening the histological examination unexpectedly revealed features of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, type CCL/small lymphocytic lymphoma; a bone marrow aspirate showed a monotypic CD5+, CD19+, CD23+ B-cell proliferation confirming the diagnosis of CLL. Six months later, a computed tomography scan revealed multiple pathological node enlargements (1.5-3 cm), compatible with a malignant lymphoma. The marked thrombocytopenia may have been an early expression of the lymphoproliferative disease. Otherwise, the association between CLL and ITP might reflect the underlying role of HCV infection causing an immune dysregulation responsible for both pathologies.

Abstract: Insulin deficiency induces an increase in blood glucose levels that, in long run, becomes toxic for many organs and systems. Microangiopathy and derangements in the immune function are known consequences of hyperglycemia, but the way in which these systemic alterations may affect pulmonary function has been scarcely investigated. Although confirmation from large clinical trials is still to come, the diabetic disease seems to hit the pulmonary microcirculation as any other organ by increasing vessel wall thickness and impairing gas exchange, which leads to a measurable loss of function and respiratory efficiency. In addition, a diabetic lung is more susceptible to low respiratory tract infections by atypical microorganisms and more likely to host severe episodes of pneumonia than a normal, non-diabetic lung. This is a review of current knowledge on the impact of diabetes mellitus in lung health. We have paid special attention to the role of metabolic control in preventing damage to the lung by sustained hyperglycemia.

Abstract: The stability over a 12-year period of several coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors was evaluated in 348 individuals who had remained healthy following baseline measurements made of the same variables in 1981. CHD risk factors evaluated were fasting and post-glucose challenge (120-minute) plasma glucose and insulin concentrations, plasma triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations, and the ratio of LDL/HDL cholesterol concentrations. Approximately 40% to 60% of individuals in the highest CHD risk quartile (or lowest in the case of HDL cholesterol concentrations) in 1981 were still at highest risk in 1993. A similar proportion of individuals at lowest risk in 1981 were still in that category in 1993. At least 50% of the participants in this prospective analysis experienced a change by 1 quartile or more in each of the metabolic CHD risk factors measured, and these differences were highly statistically significant for all variables measured with the exception of the TG and HDL cholesterol concentrations. These results demonstrate that the implicit assumption in epidemiological studies that CHD risk factors at baseline remain stable may require examination., (Copyright 2002, Elsevier Science (USA).

Abstract: Neuroendocrinology of chronic stress seems to be characterized by HPA axis hyperactivity and early childhood stressors have been hypothesized to predispose individuals to adult onset depression by means of dysregulation of the HPA axis. Pivagabine (PVG), a hydrophobic 4-aminobutyric acid derivative, has been used experimentally recently in the treatment of different disorders related to stress-maladaptation, because of its possible inhibitory action on corticotrophin releasing factor secretion and HPA axis function. In the present study, 20 healthy male subjects were each exposed twice to the same psychosocial stressor (stroop color-word interference task, public speaking and mental arithmetic in front of an audience) during a first session (day 1) and a second session (day 8). Plasma concentrations of norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (EPI), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol (CORT), heart rate (HR) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) were measured immediately before the beginning of the tests and at their end, 30 min later, on both experimental days. Utilizing a double blind schedule, the subjects received pivagabine (900 mg, twice a day)(PVG group: nine subjects) or placebo (PBO group: 11 subjects) during the 7 days between the two stress sessions. NE, EPI, ACTH, and CORT levels were significantly elevated after stress exposure on day 1 and day 8 in PBO group subjects. After PVG treatment, on day 8, ACTH, CORT, NE and EPI responses to stress were significantly blunted, together with HR and SBP, in PVG group subjects. These results add to the evidence concerning PVG capacity to inhibit the HPA axis in humans, in response to stressful stimuli, and suggest that the action of PVG may be mediated not only by GABAergic receptors, but also by the suppression of catecholamines response. PVG treatment could modulate HPA hyper-responsiveness to stress in subjects with negative affectivity and depressive traits.

Abstract: The functions of the central alpha-adrenergic, serotoninergic and dopaminergic systems were investigated in 28 heroin-dependent subjects 6-8 weeks after detoxification, and in 22 healthy control subjects (group C). Fourteen heroin-dependent subjects with depressive comorbidity (group A), and 14 heroin-dependent subjects without other Axis I and II pathologies (group B) were included among abstinent substance abusers. Norepinephrine (NE) function was evaluated by growth hormone (GH) responses to acute stimulation with clonidine (clon); serotonin (5-HT) function by prolactin (PRL) and cortisol (CORT) responses to acute stimulation with D-fenfluramine (D-fen) and dopamine (DA) function by GH and PRL responses to acute administration of bromocriptine (brom). Central NE activity, as measured by the GH-clon test, seems to be well preserved both in A and B subjects. PRL and CORT responses to D-fen were significantly blunted both in A subjects and in B subjects, in comparison with control subjects (C); the PRL response in A subjects was significantly lower than in B subjects. The DA system of B subjects was found unimpaired; in contrast, a significantly higher GH response to brom in A subjects (depressed) could express D2 post-synaptic receptor hypersensitivity and, therefore, decreased pre-synaptic DA release. In sum, the study of central monoamine function revealed an alteration only of the 5-HT system in detoxified heroin-dependent subjects without psychiatric comorbidity, which might be a trait character of these subjects, possibly involved in the pathogenesis of the disorder. A more significant impairment of 5-HT function and the hypersensitivity of post-synaptic DA receptors in A subjects suggests that specific biological correlates of psychiatric comorbidity may characterize substance abuser subtypes.

Abstract: Alendronate sodium (ALN) is a potent amino bisphosphonate which specifically inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption and has been found to reverse bone loss in several animal models. To determine if daily oral ALN treatment could prevent or reverse bone loss in osteoporotic postmenopausal women, and to compare ALN to intranasal salmon calcitonin (CT), a 2-year, double-masked, randomized, placebo-controlled study was initiated at 9 clinical centers in Italy. Two hundred and eighty six postmenopausal women (age 48-76) with spinal bone mineral density (BMD) > or = 2 SD below adult mean peak, with or without vertebral crush fractures, were randomized to one of four treatment arms: ALN 10 mg daily, ALN 20 mg daily or matching placebo (these groups all double-masked), or CT 100 IU daily (open label) for 2 years. All patients received supplemental calcium (as carbonate) 500 mg daily. Bone mass was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry of the PA lumbar spine (LS) and proximal femur (femoral neck and trochanter) at 6-month intervals. Subject safety was measured through sequential clinical and laboratory evaluation. A planned 1-year interim analysis of this ongoing study was performed centrally in a manner that maintains the double-mask for all subjects receiving oral study drug. Relative to PBO, ALN at either 10 mg or 20 mg daily increased LS BMD by 4.7% and 6.1%, respectively; each increased femoral neck BMD by 3.1% and increased trochanter BMD by 3.3% and 3.8% respectively. In contrast, CT failed to significantly increase BMD of either the spine, femoral neck or trochanter, either relative to baseline or to PBO.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract: The aim of this study was to acquire further knowledge relative to the local tolerability of synthetic salmon Calcitonin, administered by the intranasal route. The Authors have evaluated several olfactometry parameters in a group of patients treated for twelve months with the drug. The Wright matrix test and the olfacto-respiratory reflex test were performed. An evaluation regarding mucociliary transport time was additionally effected. No interference on the part of the drug was reported regarding the functional parameters of the nasal mucosa. The excellent local tolerability of intranasal salmon Calcitonin, as already indicated by other Authors, was confirmed, even in terms of specific parameters relative to the olfactory functions.

Abstract: Ipriflavone (IP), an isoflavone derivative, seems to prevent the loss of bone mass through the inhibition of bone resorption, mainly inhibiting the recruitment of osteoclasts. We investigated whether a brief course of treatment with IP can reduce biochemical parameters of accelerated bone turnover and bone pain in patients with active Paget's disease of bone. Sixteen patients (9 males and 7 females) with active Paget's disease were randomly allocated to two different crossed-over dose regimens of treatment with IP (600 mg/day vs. 1200 mg/day). Each treatment course lasted 30 days and the wash-out period between the two sequences was 15 days. Serum alkaline phosphatase (Al.Ph.) and urinary hydroxyproline/creatinine excretion (HOP/Cr) were reduced after each sequence. At the end of the 600/1200 mg/day treatment sequence, serum Al.Ph. and HOP/Cr decreased with 32% and 25.6% respectively. At the end of the 1200/600 mg/day treatment sequence, serum Al.Ph. and HOP/Cr decreased with 33% (P < 0.01) and 24.1% (P < 0.05) respectively. Furthermore, a significant decrease in bone pain was observed during the 1200/600 mg/day sequence (P < 0.01). Both treatment schedules were well tolerated and the patients' compliance resulted excellent. Our results indicate that short-term treatment with IP can reduce biochemical parameters of disease activity and bone pain in patients with active Paget's disease of bone.

Abstract: The back pain syndrome which accompanies involutional osteoporosis presents a marked heterogeneity. Acute pain may be due to vertebral fractures, whereas chronic pain may eventually accompany established osteoporosis in which clinical and instrumental evidence are present. Back pain is the consequence of the mechanical (internal or external pressure) or chemical stimulation of pain receptors present in bone tissue, along the vessels, in cartilage, joints, disk, ligaments, and also in soft tissue and muscle (with secondary antalgic contracture). The compression of spinal nerves may contribute to the pain as well. An evident alteration of mood is usually present and represents an important element in the syndrome. This phenomenon interferes with the evolution of pain, in particular as regards its intensity. Besides scales for the evaluation of pain and inability, it is possible to check objective data by means of particular algometers (not easy to employ) or by electromyographic measurements of antalgic secondary contracture of spinal muscle. Gait examination (basography) of patients with painful hip prosthesis may provide objective evaluation regarding specific antalgic activity on bone of drugs. Usually the effective drugs for osteoporosis possess antalgic properties as well, with different mechanisms of action. Three drugs with evident activity are taken into consideration: calcitonin, ipriflavon, aminobutane-bisphosphonate (alendronate). Though each of them possesses some particular activity, the main mechanism of action is dependent on their effect on the local microenvironment, particularly at the level of bone tissue (calcium, cytokine and prostaglandin local concentration), on the modulation of osteoclast activity. In particular alendronate (intermittently administered intravenously) exerts the most evident antalgic activity. Subjective chronic back pain relief is accompanied by (secondary) reduction of antalgic contracture at vertebral muscle level. The activity of the substance against the painful hip prosthesis (documented by basographic gait recording) leads us to conclude that the substance really exerts a direct antalgic action at the level of bone tissue.

Abstract: Since data on the efficacy of 4-amino-2-hydroxybutylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate (AHBuBP) in the therapy of osteoporosis are not yet available, we have examined in an open, randomized study, the effects of an intravenous intermittent treatment with this drug on the vertebral and radial bone mass in postmenopausal osteoporosis. Forty postmenopausal osteoporotic women were randomly assigned to one of two groups, one treated with AHBuBP (5 mg/day on two consecutive days every 3 months for one year; n = 20), the other with oral calcium (n = 20). The bone mineral density (BMD) of the spine increased significantly in women receiving AHBuBP, whereas it tended to decrease in patients given calcium. The differences in the vertebral BMD changes between groups was highly significant (P less than 0.01). Radial BMD tended to increase in patients treated with AHBuBP, and to decrease in patients receiving calcium. The difference in the linear trends was statistically significant (P less than 0.05). The side effects of AHBuBP (a transient acute phase reaction in 3 out of 20 subjects) were slight and well-tolerated. A good effect of AHBuBP was observed also on back pain (P less than 0.05). We conclude that intermittent treatment with AHBuBP is capable of increasing spinal BMD and conserving radial BMD in postmenopausal osteoporosis and may represent a convenient therapeutic choice in this condition.

Abstract: 24 weeks-old spontaneously hypertensive male rats and normotensive genetic controls were subjected to: histomorphometry of the proximal tibiae, assay of mineral density of the femurs by dual photon absorptiometry, and measurement of the calcium content of the femoral bone ash by atomic absorption spectophotometry. Compared with the controls, the hypertensive rats showed osteopenia and increased bone turnover; their osteoid volumes and the surface area of both osteoclasts and osteoblasts were all increased. The data suggest that, during aging, spontaneously hypertensive rats both lose bone mass more rapidly and also have an increased skeletal metabolic rate with respect to the controls.

Abstract: Our objective was the checking of clinical data obtainable from the assay of some parameters in NID diabetic individuals. To this end, we studied 133 patients--57 males and 76 females, average age 74.36 +/- 1.01 years, 72.6% of which were above 65 years of age. The control population was subdivided as follows: 50 subjects, 26 F and 24 M; average age 71.25 +/- 1.32 years, with normal glucidic tolerance as assessed by OGTT. Current glycemia, average glycemia, fructosamine, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B were obviously much higher than normal in the individuals admitted to the study. A statistically significant correlation was found between average glycemia, glycosylated hemoglobin, LDL-cholesterol and blood triglycerides (p less than 0.05). No correlation was found between current glycemia, fructosamine and glycosylated hemoglobin. Similarly, serum fructosamine was unrelated to the parameters studied. In our study, fructosamine, glycosylated hemoglobin and current glycemia offered unrelatable data. Hence, in our opinion it is necessary to assay these three parameters contemporaneously for a reliable assessment of metabolic compensation.

Abstract: The study was designed to assess glycaemic homeostasis in different situations of chronic stimulation of the opiate receptors by exogenous opiates. After an OGTT, levels of glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum fructosamine were measured in 3 groups of male drug addicts of comparable age. Group A consisted of 10 subjects undergoing substitution treatment with oral methadone. Group B consisted of 10 subjects addicted to intravenous injection of the syrup based methadone intended for oral administration. Group C consisted of 10 heroin addicts. Ten healthy subjects of the same age and sex were used as controls. Analysis of the results showed normal glucose tolerance in all groups with tendentially higher basal glycaemia levels in group B. HbA1c levels were significantly higher, though within normal limits, in group B than in either those receiving oral methadone (p less than 0.01) or the heroin addicts (p less than 0.01). The group B subjects also showed the highest fructosamine levels that were both well above normal limits and higher than those in the other groups in whom fructosamine levels were normal. The data therefore confirm normal glycaemia compensation in those taking oral methadone and in heroin addicts during the period considered. A new type of drug addiction involving the intravenous injection of methadone was also encountered. This produces an outstanding short-term change in glycaemic homeostasis and may well lead to future alterations in glucose tolerance.

46. [The problem of infections in acute leukemias: origin, therapy and prevention by protective isolation].

Author: Delsignore R, Baroni MC, Rizzoli V, Quaini F, Mangoni L, and Butturini U
Subjects: Anti-Bacterial Agents therapeutic use, Antineoplastic Agents therapeutic use, Drug Resistance, Microbial, Humans, Infection Control, Infections drug therapy, Leukemia drug therapy, Patient Isolation, Antineoplastic Agents adverse effects, Infections etiology, Leukemia complications
Abstract: The most important factors of infection in leukemic patients and immunodepressive effect of chemotherapy are evaluated. The microorganisms causing infections most frequently are considered. The associations of antibiotics for therapy of severe infections are reported. The employement of granulocyte transfusion, in patients with severe neutropenia and infections antibiotico-resistents, is also considered. Dealing with patients liable of infections the possibility of infection prevention and therapy in protected environment is faced. 12 patients affected by acute nonlymphocitic leukemia were treated with cytostatic drugs to induce remission in laminar air flow room. The number of infections is significantly decreased in comparison with of patients treated in open ward. In protected environment it is possible to treat patients with the maximal dose of antiblastic drugs without interruption obtaining higher number of complete remission.

48. [Lung survival or healing? Description of a case of acute non-lymphoblastic leukosis].

Abstract: Only few patients (3,8%) affected by ANLL survive for more than 3 years from the time of diagnosis. In the present study the Authors try to determine which clinical and haematological factors can determine long-terme survival. The Authors describe the case of a male patient (25 years old) affected by ANLL (M2), who became and is still now a long-survivor (80 months from 1th complete remission). He has been treated with DNB, ARA-C and TG (TRA schedule) for two cycles. After CR he refused consolidation and reinduction therapy and was treated only with 6-MP and MTX for 3 years, as maintenance chemotherapy. The Authors suggest that important factors for a favourable prognosis are early diagnosis and young age. A relatively high number of platelets can be correlated with a good prognosis.
