Science - Abstract
Abstract CRISPR-based gene drives have the potential to spread within populations and are considered as promising vector control tools. A doublesex-targeting gene drive was able to suppress laboratory Anopheles mosquito populations in small and large cages, and it is considered for field application. Challenges related to the field-use of gene drives and the evolving regulatory framework suggest that systems able to modulate or revert the action of gene drives, could be part of post-release risk-mitigation plans. In this study, we challenge an AcrIIA4-based anti-drive to inhibit gene drive spread in age-structured Anopheles gambiae population under complex feeding and behavioural conditions. A stochastic model predicts the experimentally-observed genotype dynamics in age-structured populations in medium-sized cages and highlights the necessity of large-sized cage trials. These experiments and experimental-modelling framework demonstrate the effectiveness of the anti-drive in different scenarios, providing further corroboration for its use in controlling the spread of gene drive in Anopheles.

Mathematics - Algebraic Topology ,55N99, 55R80 - Abstract
We compute the cohomology ring of a generalised type of configuration space of points in $\mathbb{R}^r$. This configuration space is indexed by a graph. In the case the graph is complete the result is known and it is due to Arnold and Cohen. However, our computations give a generalisation to any graph and an alternative proof of the classical result. Moreover, we show that there are deletion-contraction short exact sequences for this cohomology rings.

We compare the cohomology complex defined by Baranovsky and Sazdanovi\'{c}, that is the $E_{1}$ page of a spectral sequence converging to the homology of the configuration space depending on a graph, with the rational model for the configuration space given by Kriz and Totaro. In particular we generalize the rational model to any graph and to an algebra over any field. We show that, in the case of configuration spaces of point on a even dimensional manifold, the dual of the Baranovsky and Sazdanovi\'{c}'s complex is quasi equivalent to this generalized version of the Kriz's model., Comment: 27 pages

- Abstract
Introduction: Hypertension is the main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Notably, only about half of hypertensive patients manage to achieve the recommended blood pressure (BP) control. Main reasons for the persistence of uncontrolled BP during treatment are lack of compliance on the patients' side, and therapeutic inertia on physicians' side. Methods: During the global BP screening campaign "May Measure Month" (MMM) (May 1st to July 31st, 2022), a nationwide, cross-sectional, opportunistic study endorsed by the Italian Society of Hypertension was conducted on volunteer adults ≥ 18 years to raise awareness of the health issues surrounding high BP. A questionnaire on demographic/clinical features and questions on the use of fixed-dose single-pills for the treatment of hypertension was administered. BP was measured with standard procedures. Results: A total of 1612 participants (mean age 60.0±15.41 years; 44.7% women) were enrolled. Their mean BP was 128.5±18.1/77.1±10.4 mmHg. About half of participants were sedentary, or overweight/obese, or hypertensive. 55.5% individuals with complete BP assessment had uncontrolled hypertension. Most were not on a fixed-dose combination of antihypertensive drugs and did not regularly measure BP at home. Self-reported adherence to BP medications was similar between individuals with controlled and uncontrolled BP (95% vs 95.5%). Conclusions: This survey identified a remarkable degree of therapeutic inertia and poor patients' involvement in the therapeutic process and its monitoring in the examined population, underlining the importance of prevention campaigns to identify areas of unsatisfactory management of hypertension, to increase risk factors' awareness in the population with the final purpose of reducing cardiovascular risk.

Physical activity plays a pivotal role in preventing obesity and cardiovascular risks. The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is a tool to assess functional capacity and predict cardiovascular events. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare the performance and haemodynamic parameters before and after a 6MWT between obese/overweight vs. normal-weight children (average age 8.7 ± 0.7 years) participating in a project involving four primary schools in South Verona (Italy). Validated questionnaires for physical activity and diet, as well as blood drops, were collected. Overweight or obese children (OW&OB; n = 100) covered a shorter 6MWT distance compared to normal-weight children (NW, n = 194). At the test’s conclusion, the OW&OB group exhibited a higher Rate Pulse Product (RPP = Systolic Blood Pressure × Heart Rate) as compared to the NW. Body Mass Index, waist-to-height ratio, fat mass by electrical impedance, and trans fatty acids showed direct correlations with pre and post-test haemodynamic parameters, such as RPP, and inverse correlations with oxygen saturation. OW&OB children demonstrated lower performance in this low-intensity exercise test, along with an elevated haemodynamic response. Excess fat in childhood can be considered a risk factor for haemodynamic stress, with potential deleterious consequences later in life. Efforts should be initiated early to break this cycle.

Background and Objectives: Hypertension and vascular damage can begin in adolescents affected by Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD). This study aimed to evaluate markers of vascular damage and left ventricular geometry in a sample of children with ADPKD. Materials and Methods: Several vascular measurements were obtained: ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), carotid distensibility coefficient (cDC), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and echocardiographic measurements (relative wall thickness (RWT) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI)). Results: Eleven ADPKD children were recruited (four females and seven males, mean age 9.5 ± 3.2 years). Four children were hypertensive at the ABPM, five were normotensive, and for two ABPM was not available. RWT was tendentially high (mean 0.47 ± 0.39). Eight patients had concentric cardiac remodeling, while one patient had cardiac hypertrophy. cIMT was above the 95° percentile for sex and height in 80% of the children (0.5 ± 0.005 mm). The average PWV and cDC were between the normal range (5.5 ± 4.6 m/s and 89.6 ± 16.1 × 10−3/KPa, respectively). We observed a positive correlation between the PWV and RWT (r = 0.616; p = 0.044) and a negative correlation between cDC and RWT (r = −0.770; p = 0.015). Cardiovascular damages (cIMT > 95° percentile) were found in normotensive patients. Conclusions: Increased RWT and high cIMT, indicating subclinical organ damage, are already present in ADPKD children. RWT was significantly correlated to that of cDC and PWV, implying that vascular stiffening is associated with cardiac remodeling. None of the children had an alteration in renal function. Subclinical cardiovascular damage preceded the decline in glomerular filtration rate.

Mathematics - Algebraic Topology ,55U10, 55M30 - Abstract
The simplicial LS-category of a finite abstract simplicial complex is a new invariant of the strong homotopy type, defined in purely combinatorial terms, that generalizes to arbitrary simplicial complexes the well known notion of arboricity of a graph, and that allows to develop all the machinery of algebraic topology which is costumary in the classical theory of Lusternik-Schnirelmann category., Comment: 28 pages, 10 figures.

Non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the inflammatory reaction of the liver to excessive accumulation of lipids in the hepatocytes. NASH can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Fatty liver is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome. A subclinical inflammatory state is present in patients with metabolic alterations like insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Platelets participate in immune cells recruitment and cytokines-induced liver damage. It is hypothesized that lipid toxicity cause accumulation of platelets in the liver, platelet adhesion and activation, which primes the immunoinflammatory reaction and activation of stellate cells. Recent data suggest that antiplatelet drugs may interrupt this cascade and prevent/improve NASH. They may also improve some metabolic alterations. The pathophysiology of inflammatory liver disease and the implication of platelets are discussed in details.

- Abstract
Background: Hypertension management in older patients represents a challenge, particularly when hospitalized. Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the determinants and related outcomes of antihypertensive drug prescription in a cohort of older hospitalized patients. Methods: A total of 5671 patients from REPOSI (a prospective multicentre observational register of older Italian in-patients from internal medicine or geriatric wards) were considered; 4377 (77.2%) were hypertensive. Minimum treatment (MT) for hypertension was defined according to the 2018 ESC guidelines [an angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitor (ACE-I) or an angiotensin-receptor-blocker (ARB) with a calcium-channel-blocker (CCB) and/or a thiazide diuretic; if >80 years old, an ACE-I or ARB or CCB or thiazide diuretic]. Determinants of MT discontinuation at discharge were assessed. Study outcomes were any cause rehospitalization/all cause death, all-cause death, cardiovascular (CV) hospitalization/death, CV death, non-CV death, evaluated according to the presence of MT at discharge. Results: Hypertensive patients were older than normotensives, with a more impaired functional status, higher burden of comorbidity and polypharmacy. A total of 2233 patients were on MT at admission, 1766 were on MT at discharge. Discontinuation of MT was associated with the presence of comorbidities (lower odds for diabetes, higher odds for chronic kidney disease and dementia). An adjusted multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that MT for hypertension at discharge was associated with lower risk of all-cause death, all-cause death/hospitalization, CV death, CV death/hospitalization and non-CV death. Conclusions: Guidelines-suggested MT for hypertension at discharge is associated with a lower risk of adverse clinical outcomes. Nevertheless, changes in antihypertensive treatment still occur in a significant proportion of older hospitalized patients.

- Abstract
Background and objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure (HF) mutually increase the risk of being present in the same patient, especially if older. Whether or not this coexistence may be associated with a worse prognosis is debated. Therefore, employing data derived from the REPOSI register, we evaluated the clinical features and outcomes in a population of elderly patients admitted to internal medicine wards and having COPD, HF or COPD + HF. Methods: We measured socio-demographic and anthropometric characteristics, severity and prevalence of comorbidities, clinical and laboratory features during hospitalization, mood disorders, functional independence, drug prescriptions and discharge destination. The primary study outcome was the risk of death. Results: We considered 2,343 elderly hospitalized patients (median age 81 years), of whom 1,154 (49%) had COPD, 813 (35%) HF, and 376 (16%) COPD + HF. Patients with COPD + HF had different characteristics than those with COPD or HF, such as a higher prevalence of previous hospitalizations, comorbidities (especially chronic kidney disease), higher respiratory rate at admission and number of prescribed drugs. Patients with COPD + HF (hazard ratio HR 1.74, 95% confidence intervals CI 1.16–2.61) and patients with dementia (HR 1.75, 95% CI 1.06–2.90) had a higher risk of death at one year. The Kaplan–Meier curves showed a higher mortality risk in the group of patients with COPD + HF for all causes (p = 0.010), respiratory causes (p = 0.006), cardiovascular causes (p = 0.046) and respiratory plus cardiovascular causes (p = 0.009). Conclusion: In this real-life cohort of hospitalized elderly patients, the coexistence of COPD and HF significantly worsened prognosis at one year. This finding may help to better define the care needs of this population.

- Abstract
Background and aim: Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) is the most effective therapy for symptomatic obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). However, uncertainty remains about the effectiveness of CPAP in improving OSA-related metabolic dysregulation. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to investigate whether CPAP, compared to other control treatments, could improve glucose or lipid metabolism in OSA patients. Methods: Relevant articles were searched in three different databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science) from inception to 6th Feb 2022 through specific search terms and selection criteria. Results: From a total of 5553 articles, 31 RCTs were included. CPAP modestly improved insulin sensitivity as determined by mean fasting plasma insulin and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance reduction of 1.33 mU/L and 0.287, respectively. In subgroup analyses pre-diabetic/type 2 diabetic patients as well as those with sleepy OSA showed a greater response to CPAP. Regarding lipid metabolism, CPAP was associated with a mean total cholesterol reduction of 0.064 mmol/L. In subgroup analyses, the benefit was higher in patients that showed more severe OSA and oxygen desaturations at the baseline sleep study as well as in younger and obese subjects. Neither glycated haemoglobin nor triglycerides, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol were reduced by CPAP. Conclusion: CPAP treatment may improve insulin sensitivity and total cholesterol levels in OSA patients but with low effect size. Our results suggest that CPAP does not substantially improve metabolic derangements in an unselected OSA population, but the effect may be higher in specific subgroups of OSA patients.

Background: Health concerns associated with the exposure to legacy perfluoro-alkyl substances (PFAS) led to the development of new-generation PFAS, such as C6O4. Here we investigated the possible effects of C6O4 on the platelet’s activation profile, by incubating human platelets from healthy donors with C6O4 at different concentrations and evaluating the effects on activation, production and phenotype of platelets micro-particles (MPV) and aggregation under-flow. Based on the eventual platelet pro-aggregation profile detected, the preventive effect of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) was also explored. Methods: Adhesion-induced platelet aggregation of platelet rich plasma (PRP) under flow was evaluated on collagen-coated microchip at a shear stress of 10 Dyne. The turbidimetric method was used to investigate platelet aggregation. Finally, the in vitro generation of pro-coagulant MPV in PRP was evaluated by flow cytometry, as characterized by CD41 and annexin V positive events, under resting conditions and after stimulation with agonists at low shear stress. Results: The generation of platelet aggregates under flow was significantly increased by the pretreatment of PRP with 100–200 ng/mL C6O4, compared to both the control condition and the experiment performed in presence of ASA. Arachidonic acid (AA), ADP and collagen induced an higher maximal aggregation, at turbidimetric evaluation, when PRP was pretreated with 100–500 ng/mL C6O4. In addition, PRP stimulated with AA also showed a steeper slope of the aggregation curve. The aggregation induced by the tested agonists was almost abolished by ASA. Finally, pretreatment with C6O4 increased the number of MPV in resting conditions and in presence of ADP and TRAP. ASA tended to reduce MPV generation. Conclusions: Exposure to C6O4 associates with an increased platelet response to agonists, translating into a possible increased risk of cardiovascular events. Pending a further clarification on the toxicokinetics of this compound, our results claim the possible prophylactic use of ASA.

Polyfluoro- and perfluoro–alkyl substances (PFAS) are organic chemicals extensively used worldwide for industry and consumer products. Due to their chemical stability, PFAS represent a major cause of environmental pollution. PFAS accumulate in animal and human blood and tissues exerting their toxicity. We performed a review of the epidemiological studies exploring the relationship between exposure to PFAS and thromboembolic cardiovascular disease. An increase in cardiovascular disease or death related to PFAS exposure has been reported from cross-sectional and longitudinal observational studies with evidence concerning the relation with early vascular lesions and atherosclerosis. Several studies indicate an alteration in lipid and glucose metabolism disorders and increased blood pressure as a possible link with cardiovascular thromboembolic events. We also examined the recent evidence indicating that legacy and new PFAS can be incorporated in platelet cell membranes giving a solid rationale to the observed increase risk of cardiovascular events in the populations exposed to PFAS by directly promoting thrombus formation. Exposure to PFAS has been related to altered plasma membrane fluidity and associated with altered calcium signal and increased platelet response to agonists, both in vitro and ex vivo in subjects exposed to PFAS. All the functional responses are increased in platelets by incorporation of PFAS: adhesion, aggregation, microvesicles release and experimental thrombus formation. These findings offer mechanistic support the hypothesis that platelet-centred mechanisms may be implicated in the increase in cardiovascular events observed in populations chronically exposed to PFAS.

Background Different adiposity traits may be causally related to hypertension in different ways. By using genetic variants as randomly allocated proxies for studying the effect of modifying adiposity traits, the Mendelian randomization approach can be used to investigate this. Methods and Results In this study, we used 4 different genetic risk scores (GRS; GRS‐BMI565, GRS‐WHR324, GRS‐VAT208, GRS‐BF81) including hundreds of single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with body mass index, waist‐to‐hip ratio, visceral adipose tissue, and body fat, respectively. These were applied as instrumental variables in Mendelian randomization analyses. Two Swedish urban‐based cohort studies, the Malmö Diet and Cancer, and the Malmö Preventive 795Projects were used to obtain genetic association estimates with blood pressure (BP). In both the Malmö Preventive Projects and Malmö Diet and Cancer studies, except for that for body fat, all of the genetic risk scores were significantly associated with systolic BP and diastolic BP, but with different magnitudes. In particular, in both cohorts, each standard deviation increase in the genetic risk score made up by the 324 single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with waist‐to‐hip ratio was associated with doubling of the likelihood of hypertension prevalence at baseline. However, only the genetic risk score made up by the 565 SNPs associated with body mass index was significantly associated with hypertension incidence during 23.6±4.3 years of follow‐up in the Malmö Preventive Project. Conclusions We support a causal link between genetically mediated adiposity, especially waist‐to‐hip ratio and body mass index, and BP traits including hypertension prevalence and, for the first time to our knowledge, hypertension incidence. The differences in magnitude between these associations might suggest different mechanisms by which different adiposity affects BP/hypertension and consequently may indicate that tailored interventions are needed to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Patients with primary aldosteronism have greater cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than patients with primary hypertension and a comparable cardiovascular risk profile. Herein we present the case of a patient who developed multiple end-organ damage due to unrecognized and uncontrolled hypertension caused by an aldosterone-producing adrenal adenoma. Clinical and radiological evaluation revealed hypertensive encephalopathy, cardiomyopathy, retinopathy and nephropathy which required hemodialysis. Blood pressure control before surgery was difficult due to renal impairment that precluded the administration of anti-aldosterone drugs. Primary aldosteronism was cured by laparoscopic adrenalectomy and all antihypertensive drugs were suspended.A remarkable aspect of this case is the discordant results at screening test for primary aldosteronism: even though aldosterone-to-renin ratio is the most reliable method to identify possible cases of primary aldosteronism it can be misleading especially in case of multiple comorbidities and concomitant antihypertensive treatment. Furthermore, anti-aldosterone drugs are worrisome to use when renal damage is advanced but can be reconsidered when hemodialysis begins.

Background: Sacubitril/valsartan, the first agent to be approved in a new class of drugs called angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitors (ARNIs), has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality and morbidity compared to enalapril in outpatient subjects with chronic heart failure (HF) and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF). However, there is little real-world evidence about the efficacy of ARNIs in elderly hypertensive patients with HFrEF and comorbidities. Methods: In this prospective open-label study, 108 subjects, 54 of them (mean age 78.6 ± 8.2 years, 75.0 % male), with HFrEF (29.8 ± 4.3 %) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II-III symptoms were assigned to receive ARNIs twice daily, according to the recommended dosage of 24/26, 49/51, 97/103 mg. Patients were gender- and age-matched with a control arm of patients with HFrEF receiving the optimal standard therapy for HF. The clinic blood pressure (BP), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood glucose and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), uric acid (UA), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and NYHA class were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 12 months. During the follow-up, the clinical outcomes, including mortality and re-hospitalization for HF, were collected. Results: NYHA class significantly improved in the ARNI arm compared to the control (24.9 vs. 6.4 %, shifting from class III to II, and 55.4 vs. 25.2 %, from class II to I, p

Background and aim: Considering the amount of novel knowledge generated in the last five years, a team of experienced hypertensionlogists was assembled to furnish updated clinical practice guidelines for the management of primary aldosteronism. Methods: To identify the most relevant studies, the authors utilized a systematic literature review in international databases by applying the PICO strategy, and then they were required to make use of only those meeting predefined quality criteria. For studies of diagnostic tests, only those that fulfilled the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy recommendations were considered. Results: Each section was jointly prepared by at least two co-authors, who provided Class of Recommendation and Level of Evidence following the American Heart Association methodology. The guidelines were sponsored by the Italian Society of Arterial Hypertension and underwent two rounds of revision, eventually reexamined by an External Committee. They were presented and thoroughly discussed in two face-to-face meetings with all co-authors and then presented on occasion of the 36th Italian Society of Arterial Hypertension meeting in order to gather further feedbacks by all members. The text amended according to these feedbacks was subjected to a further peer review. Conclusions: After this process, substantial updated information was generated, which could simplify the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism and assist practicing physicians in optimizing treatment and follow-up of patients with one of the most common curable causes of arterial hypertension.

BackgroundThe global rate of intensive care unit (ICU) admission during the COVID-19 pandemic varies within countries and is among the main challenges for health care systems worldwide. Conflicting results have been reported about the response to coronavirus infection and COVID-19 outcomes in men and women. Understanding predictors of intensive care unit admission might be of help for future planning and management of the disease.Methods and findingsWe designed a cross-sectional observational multicenter nationwide survey in Italy to understand gender-related clinical predictors of ICU admission in patients with COVID-19. We analyzed information from 2378 charts of Italian patients certified for COVID-19 admitted in 26 hospitals. Three hundred ninety-five patients (16.6%) required ICU admission due to COVID19 infection, more frequently men (74%), with a higher prevalence of comorbidities (1,78±0,06 vs 1,54±0,03 pConclusionsOur study demonstrates that gender is the primary determinant of the disease's severity among COVID-19. Obesity is the condition more often observed among those admitted to ICU within both genders.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov: NCT04331574.

However, uncertainty remains about the effectiveness of CPAP in improving OSA-related metabolic dysregulation. This meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) aimed to investigate whether CPAP, compared to other control treatments, could improve glucose or lipid metabolism in OSA patients. Methods: Relevant articles were searched in three different databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science) from inception to 6th Feb 2022 through specific search terms and selection criteria. Results: From a total of 5553 articles, 31 RCTs were included. CPAP modestly improved insulin sensitivity as determined by mean fasting plasma insulin and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance reduction of 1.33 mU/L and 0.287, respectively. In subgroup analyses pre-diabetic/type 2 diabetic patients as well as those with sleepy OSA showed a greater response to CPAP. Regarding lipid metabolism, CPAP was associated with a mean total cholesterol reduction of 0.064 mmol/L. In subgroup analyses, the benefit was higher in patients that showed more severe OSA and oxygen desaturations at the baseline sleep study as well as in younger and obese subjects. Neither glycated haemoglobin nor triglycerides, HDL- and LDL-cholesterol were reduced by CPAP. Conclusion: CPAP treatment may improve insulin sensitivity and total cholesterol levels in OSA patients but with low effect size. Our results suggest that CPAP does not substantially improve metabolic derangements in an unselected OSA population, but the effect may be higher in specific subgroups of OSA patients.

Lycopene is a carotenoid found in tomatoes previously shown bioactive in endothelial cells. We studied in vitro cell migration, key step in angiogenesis using the scratch wound healing assay to test the effects of lycopene (2 µmol/L) on Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells. To explore the cellular mechanism, we measured nitric oxide (NO) release and protein kinase B (Akt) phosphorylation. Lycopene inhibited cell migration induced by vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGFA) and reduced Akt phosphorylation. NO generation in endothelial cells, assessed by using difluorofluorescein diacetate, was increased by lycopene alone or in combination with VEGFA and blunted by NO synthase inhibition. Increased nitrite-nitrate concentration in culture medium indicates effects of lycopene on NO bioavailability, potentially implicated in the reduction in VEGFA-induced cell migration, as observed with a NO-donor. In conclusion, lycopene inhibits endothelial cells migration modulating VEGFA signalling system. Increased NO generation partly explains lycopene bioactivity.

- Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a newly recognized infectious disease which can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome requiring ventilatory support and intensive care unit admission. The aim of our study is to evaluate the performance of two non-invasive respiratory function indices (the ROX index and the SatO2/FiO2 ratio), as compared to the traditional PaO2/FiO2 ratio, in predicting a clinically relevant composite outcome (death or intubation) in hospitalized patients for COVID-19 pneumonia. Four hospital centers in Northern Italy conducted an observational retrospective cohort study during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. Four hundred and fifty-six patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to medical or sub-intensive wards were enrolled. Clinical, laboratory, and respiratory parameters, for the calculation of different indices, were measured at hospital admission. In medical wards (Verona and Padua) the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, ROX index and SatO2/FiO2 ratio were able to predict intubation or death with good accuracy (AUROC for the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, ROX index and SatO2/FiO2 ratio of 75%, 75% and 74%, respectively). Regarding sub-intensive wards (Milan and Mantua), none of the three respiratory function indices was significantly associated with the composite outcome. In patients admitted to medical wards for COVID-19 pneumonia, the ROX index and the SatO2/FiO2 ratio demonstrated not only good performance in predicting intubation or death, but their accuracy was comparable to that of the PaO2/FiO2 ratio. In this setting, where repeated arterial blood gas tests are not always feasible, they could be considered a reliable alternative to the invasive PaO2/FiO2 ratio.

- Abstract
There is an error in the third sentence of the second paragraph of the Introduction section of this article [1]. Prior to the publication of this article [1], reference 6 was retracted by The New England Journal of Medicine and should not have been cited [2]. The correct reference is: WHO. Gender and COVID-19: Advocacy brief [Internet]. 2020 [cited 2021 Jun 10]. Available from: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/WHO-2019-nCoV-Advocacy_brief-Gender2020.1 As a result of this correction to the references, the following text in the second paragraph of the discussion is removed: “[odds ratio 0.79 (CI 0.65–0.95)] in an extensive observational database collecting patients from Asia, Europe, and the United States.” The authors provide the following additional clarifications: As stated in the article’s Discussion, the study design does not allow conclusions to be drawn about causal relationships. As such, the authors provide revised wording for the first sentence of the Conclusions section of the Abstract, and the first sentence of the Conclusions section of the Discussion. The correct sentences are, respectively, “Our study demonstrates that gender may be the primary determinant of the disease’s severity among COVID-19” and “Our study demonstrates a possible gender effect for women in COVID-19 that are protected from more severe clinical presentations of the disease.” In the study registry [3], the registered timeframe for the secondary outcome “Number and type of anthropometric and clinical parameters that associate with COVID19 and COVID-19 severity” was 3 months. The article reports a shorter observation period between March 9th and April 29th 2020. The authors wish to clarify that the study design included a steering committee that performed an interim analysis. The number of required patients was collected more quickly than expected.

The need for descriptors of language proficiency for first levels in migration contexts has become apparent. Specifically, yet not exclusively, focused on illiterate and virtually uneducated adults, Italiano L2 in contesti migratori. Sillabo e descrittori dall’alfabetizzazione all’A1 sets standards and recommends criteria for teaching both literacy and L2. It endorses the CEFR approach, especially the notion of linguistic-communicative competence as a multidimensional competence and a part of a more general action competence. It is coherent with an approach to literacy as a process that leads to a broader linguistic and communicative competence, beyond the acquisition of the technical abilities. The general purpose is to enhance the quality of the language provision aimed at vulnerable populations in the migrant population. A validation procedure of IL2S, conducted in public and volunteer course providers, showed its positive impact on Italian L2 and literacy teaching practices in Italy. Nell’insegnamento della lingua seconda in contesti migratori è emersa la necessità di descrittori più adeguati a cogliere i primi livelli competenza linguistica. Italiano L2 in contesti migratori. Sillabo e descrittori dall’alfabetizzazione all’A1 presta attenzione specifica, ma non esclusiva, agli adulti analfabeti e debolmente scolarizzati, definisce standard e raccomanda criteri per l’alfabetizzazione e l’insegnamento della L2. Adotta la prospettiva indicata dal Quadro, di cui condivide innanzitutto la nozione della competenza linguistico-comunicativa come competenza multidimensionale e come parte di una più generale competenza d’azione. È coerente con un approccio che vede l’alfabetizzazione un processo che conduce ad una più ampia competenza linguistico comunicativa, oltre l’acquisizione di abilità tecniche. ILS2 intende contribuire ad una migliore qualità dell’offerta di formazione linguistica rivolta ai settori vulnerabili della popolazione immigrata. Una procedura di validazione di ILS2, condotta in enti formativi pubblici e di volontariato, ne ha mostrato l’impatto positivo sulle pratiche di insegnamento.

- Abstract
High blood pressure is the leading cause of death and disability globally and an important treatable risk factor for cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and chronic kidney diseases. Digital technology, including mobile health solutions and digital therapy, is expanding rapidly in clinical medicine and has the potential to improve the quality of care and effectiveness of drug treatment by making medical interventions timely, tailored to hypertensive patients' needs and by improving treatment adherence. Thus, the systematic application of digital technologies could support diagnosis and awareness of hypertension and its complications, ultimately leading to improved BP control at the population level. The progressive implementation of digital medicine in the national health systems must be accompanied by the supervision and guidance of health authorities and scientific societies to ensure the correct use of these new technologies with consequent maximization of the potential benefits. The role of scientific societies in relation to the rapid adoption of digital technologies, therefore, should encompass the entire spectrum of activities pertaining to their institutional role: information, training, promotion of research, scientific collaboration and advice, evaluation and validation of technological tools, and collaboration with regulatory and health authorities.

Platelet-derived large extracellular vesicles (often referred to as microparticles in the field of cardiovascular disease) have been identified as effector in the atherothrombotic process, therefore representing a target of pharmacological intervention of potential interest. Despite that, limited evidence is so far available concerning the effects of antiplatelet agents on the release of platelet-derived extracellular vesicles. In the present narrative review, the mechanisms leading to vesiculation in platelets and the pathophysiological processes implicated will be discussed. This will be followed by a summary of the present evidence concerning the effects of antiplatelet agents under experimental conditions and in clinical settings.
