Abstract

The congresses of scientists organized annually from 1839 to 1847 in Italy have been important events both scientifically and politically. Moreover, they have been important social chances for intellectuals from the Italian establishment to meet each other. In 1845 the 7th Congress took place in Naples. Scientists were encouraged to take part in it because of the celebrity of the city itself, famous for its archaeological and artistic heritage and for the pleasant life. This essay shows in which way the congress helped in promoting the city of Naples as a European top destination thanks to the presence of the scientists, transforming it in a sort of brand able to express many different meanings.

Abstract

Remote sensors on spacecrafts acquire huge volumes of data that can be processed for other purposes in addition to those they were designed for. The project TECSEL2 was born for the usage of the Gaia AIM/AVU daily pipeline output and solar events data to characterize the response of detectors subjected to strong radiation damage within an environment not protected by the terrestrial magnetic field, the Lagrangian point L2, where Gaia operates. The project also aims at identifying anomalies in the scientific output parameters and relate them to detectors malfunctioning due to radiation damage issues correlating with solar events occurred in the same time range. TECSEL2 actually designs and implements a system based on big data technologies which are the state of art in the fields of data processing and data storage. The final goal of TECSEL2 is not only related to the Gaia project, because it provides useful analysis techniques for generic and potentially huge time series datasets., Comment: Proceedings of the 2016 conference on Big Data from Space BiDS16 Santa Cruz de Tenerife Spain 15 17 March 2016

Abstract

Dual-Energy computed tomography (DECT) with its various advanced techniques, including Virtual Non-Contrast (VNC), effective atomic number (Z-eff) calculation, Z-maps, Iodine Density Index (IDI), and so on, holds great promise in the diagnosis and management of urogenital tumours. In this narrative review, we analyze the current status of knowledge of this technology to provide better lesion characterization, improve the staging accuracy, and give more precise treatment response assessments in relation to urological tumours.

Abstract

Introduction: Hemifacial spasm represents segmental myoclonus of muscles innervated by the facial nerve, which is usually and successfully treated with botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin (BTX) acts as an acetylcholine release inhibitor at presynaptic cholinergic junctions and therefore is considered contraindicated (or administrable with caution) in patients with neuromuscular disorders like Myasthenia Gravis (MG). Moreover, to date, the association of hemifacial spasm and ocular MG is extremely rare and only a few cases have been described. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 73 years old man with a 3-year history of ocular MG who developed a left hemifacial spasm. The patient underwent hemispasm, treatment with BTX type A (abobotulinum toxin-A, total dose of 50 IU) that resulted in safe and successful 6 months re-evaluation. Conclusion: Our results suggest that in selected cases with concomitant MG and conditions characterized by orbicularis oculi spasms or hemispasm, BTX therapy may not be contraindicated and could be given at longer intervals due to prolonged effects.

Abstract

Devices originally designed for closure of cardiac septal defects have also been proposed for the treatment of acquired tracheo-oesophageal fistula (TOF). Choosing the right occluder device to match TOF size and shape is essential for a tailored treatment. We report the successful endoscopic closure of a post-radiotherapy TOF using preprocedural CT scan with holographic three-dimensional reconstruction and an Amplatzer atrial septal device. Complete TOF sealing was achieved with resolution of respiratory symptoms, and the patient was maintaining his ability to eat at 4-month follow-up.

Abstract

Background: Tremor disorders remain as clinical diagnoses and the rate of misdiagnosis between the commonest non‐parkinsonian tremors is relatively high. Objectives: To compare the clinical features of Essential Tremor without other features (pure ET), ET plus soft dystonic signs (ET + DS), and tremor combined with dystonia (TwD). Methods: We compared the clinical features of patients with pure ET, ET + DS, and TwD enrolled in The ITAlian tremor Network (TITAN). Linear regression models were performed to determine factors associated with health status and quality of life. Results: Three‐hundred‐eighty‐three patients were included. Sex distribution was significantly different between the groups with males being more represented in pure ET and females in TwD. The initial site of tremor was different between the groups with about 40% of TwD having head tremor and ET + DS unilateral upper limb tremor at onset. This pattern mirrored the distribution of overt dystonia and soft dystonic signs at examination. Sensory trick, task‐specificity, and position‐dependence were more common, but not exclusive, to TwD. Pure ET patients showed the lowest degree of alcohol responsiveness and ET + DS the highest. Midline tremor was more commonly encountered and more severe in TwD than in the other groups. Regression analyses demonstrated that tremor severity, sex, age, and to a lesser degree the variable "group", independently predicted health status and quality of life, suggesting the existence of other determinants beyond tremor. Conclusions: Pure ET and TwD manifest with a phenotypic overlap, which calls for the identification of diagnostic biomarkers. ET + DS shared features with both syndromes, suggesting intra‐group heterogeneity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background. Loss of olfaction is a well-established early feature of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Although olfactory dysfunction has been widely described as a prodromal feature of PD in the literature, whether it can be considered a biomarker of PD progression is still a matter of debate. Objective. The aim of this work is to define the possible relationship between the progression of olfactory dysfunction and other putative clinical hallmarks of PD over time, through a systematic review of the current literature. Methods. We conducted a systematic review of the literature on PubMed from inception to March 2022. We included only longitudinal studies conducted on patients with diagnosis of idiopathic PD who underwent olfactory function testing at baseline and repeated it at least once during follow-up. Results. Among 5740 records identified through database searching, nine longitudinal studies met full criteria and underwent data extraction. Conclusions. Olfaction seemed to decrease over time, albeit with a degree of fluctuation. Moreover, smell detection ability seems to deteriorate more rapidly in the early phase of disease, indicating a possible association with disease progression. More studies are needed to better understand the role of olfaction as a biomarker of PD progression over time.

Abstract

Background Cervical dystonia is characterized by a variable pattern of neck muscle involvement. Due to the lack of a diagnostic test, cervical dystonia diagnosis is based on clinical examination and is therefore subjective. The present work was designed to provide practical guidance for clinicians in confirming or refuting suspected cervical dystonia. Methods Participants were video recorded according to a standardized protocol to assess 6 main clinical features possibly contributing to cervical dystonia diagnosis: presence of repetitive, patterned head/neck movements/postures inducing head/neck deviation from neutral position (item 1); sensory trick (item 2); and red flags related to conditions mimicking dystonia that should be absent in dystonia (items 3–6). Inter-/intra-rater agreement among three independent raters was assessed by k statistics. To estimate sensitivity and specificity, the gold standard was cervical dystonia diagnosis reviewed at each site by independent senior neurologists. Results The validation sample included 43 idiopathic cervical dystonia patients and 41 control subjects (12 normal subjects, 6 patients with isolated head tremor, 4 with chorea, 6 with tics, 4 with head ptosis due to myasthenia or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, 7 with orthopedic/rheumatologic neck diseases, and 2 with ocular torticollis). The best combination of sensitivity and specificity was observed considering all the items except for an item related to capability to voluntarily suppress spasms (sensitivity: 96.1%; specificity: 81%). Conclusions An accurate diagnosis of cervical dystonia can be achieved if, in addition to the core motor features, we also consider some clinical features related to dystonia mimics that should be absent in dystonia.

Abstract

BackgroundTo date, a few studies have systematically investigated differences in the clinical spectrum between acquired and idiopathic dystonias. ObjectivesTo compare demographic data and clinical features in patients with adult-onset acquired and idiopathic dystonias. MethodsPatients were identified from among those included in the Italian Dystonia Registry, a multicenter Italian dataset of patients with adult-onset dystonia. Study population included 116 patients with adult-onset acquired dystonia and 651 patients with isolated adult-onset idiopathic dystonia. ResultsComparison of acquired and idiopathic dystonia revealed differences in the body distribution of dystonia, with oromandibular dystonia, limb and trunk dystonia being more frequent in patients with acquired dystonia. The acquired dystonia group was also characterized by lower age at dystonia onset, greater tendency to spread, lower frequency of head tremor, sensory trick and eye symptoms, and similar frequency of neck pain associated with CD and family history of dystonia/tremor. ConclusionsThe clinical phenomenology of dystonia may differ between acquired and idiopathic dystonia, particularly with regard to the body localization of dystonia and the tendency to spread. This dissimilarity raises the possibility of pathophysiological differences between etiologic categories.

Abstract

Advanced holographic visualization techniques are becoming increasingly important in clinical practice, not only for diagnostic purposes but also in the planning of interventional or surgical procedures. The traditional approach for visualizing anatomic structures is based on standard imaging modalities such as echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) and cardiac CT scan (CCT) which, however, can only provide two-dimensional (2D) images thus limiting 3D perception. Many recent studies have shown that the use of 3D imaging modalities such as augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality and holography improve the short and long-term outcome of percutaneous or surgical procedures. In this article, we report our experience on the use of the hologram in different clinical scenarios and in the field of university education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background While amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) incidence has increased during the last decades, structured evidence on increased prevalence is lacking. After reporting a significant yearly increase of ALS incidence over a 10-year period, we checked for increased prevalence in Southern Sardinia over a quinquennium. Methods ALS patients (El Escorial Criteria) recruited from the study area and followed at ALS Centre, University of Cagliari, were included. Prevalence was computed for January 1, 2015 and January 1, 2019 and was calculated for the overall ALS population as well as for tracheostomized and non-tracheostomized patients. Results We observed a non-significant trend for greater ALS prevalence in 2019 than in 2015 (18.31 per 100,000 vs. 15.26 per 100,000; rate ratio: 1.83, p = 0.01). By contrast, a significantly raising 2015 to 2019 ALS prevalence was observed in tracheostomized patients. No significant difference could be detected in non-tracheostomized. Conclusions We provided the highest prevalence rate to date reported in the worldwide literature, and also showed a non-significant raising ALS prevalence in the Sardinian population over a quinquennium. The trend in raising ALS prevalence was likely due to extended survival due to invasive interventions.
