    Abstract Alterations in the central nervous system in cancer patients are pivotal in determining appetite dysregulation and body weight loss (BWL). Autonomic nervous system activity was tested by measuring heart rate variability (HRV) in cancer patients presenting with anorexia. We considered inpatients with different types of cancer and investigated anorexia using their FAACT scores. HRV was evaluated by a three-channel Holter ECG. The domains of low frequencies (LF, sympathetic activity) and high frequencies (HF, parasympathetic activity) were calculated. Also, SDNN (autonomic activity) and RMSSD (parasympathetic activity) were assessed. We enrolled 56 patients with cancer and 23 controls. In cancer patients, RMSSD and SDNN were lower than in controls (

    Abstract Introduction: Hypertension is a relevant cardiovascular comorbidity. Adipose tissue represents a metabolically active tissue involved in the regulation of blood pressure and metabolic alterations. In recent decades, several classifications for the metabolic syndrome (MS) have been proposed. Recently, a new syndrome called the "Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic" (CKM) syndrome was identified, to determine patients at high cardiovascular and metabolic risk. The aim of the study was to compare different classifications in a large population of hypertensive patients.
    Materials and methods: Between September 2022 and August 2023, we consecutively enrolled 772 hypertensive patients (407 men; 365 women; mean age 52.2 ± 15.1 years), evaluating anthropometric, biochemical, and instrumental parameters (transthoracic echocardiogram, carotid echo-Doppler, 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, fundus oculi).
    Results: Using different classifications we found MS prevalence: Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III) 28.8%, International Diabetes Federation (IDF) 31.5%, CKM 40.7%. CKM Classes 3 and 4 showed higher body mass index and waist circumference compared with other groups. Compared with ATP-III and IDF, CKM Class 4 showed higher 24-h systolic blood pressure, lower percentage of controlled hypertension, increased interventricular septum and posterior wall, reduced ejection fraction, and greater prevalence of hypertensive arterial retinal damage.
    Discussion: Visceral obesity and MS are frequent conditions with healthy impact, becoming an important trigger for the development of cardiovascular and metabolic complications. The different MS classifications allow the early identification of patients at high risk of cardiometabolic complications. The new CKM syndrome proves useful to identify individuals at high risk for CKM morbidity and mortality.

    Abstract Background: Malnutrition is a well-known risk factor for morbidity and mortality in many clinical settings and only few studies assessed the role of malnutrition on systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients' outcomes. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the role of malnutrition as a predictive risk factor for mortality and/or hospitalization in SSc patients during a 4-year follow-up.
    Methods: One hundred and one SSc patients were included in the study. Biochemical analyses, disease activity index, disease severity scale and anthropometric data were recorded at enrollment. Malnutrition was assessed by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria.
    Results: Malnutrition according to GLIM criteria was found in 22 patients (21.8%). During a 4-year follow-up, 20 (19.8%) SSc patients died or were hospitalized for all causes and 11 of them (55.0%) were malnourished. Kaplan-Meier curves showed that event free-survival for composite end-point of mortality and risk of hospitalization was significantly shorter in malnourished than in non-malnourished patients (p<0.001). The survival probability at 4 years was 0.885 (95% CI=0.818-0.959) in the non-malnourished group and 0.500 (95% CI=0.329-0.759) in the malnourished group (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, malnutrition [HR=4.380 (95% CI=1.706-11.243), p = 0.002] was the most significant predictive risk factor for the composite end-point. Also, female gender [HR=0.157 (95% CI=0.055-0.449), p<0.001], age [HR=1.0450 (95% CI=1.011-1.090), p = 0.012] and disease severity scale [HR=1.269 (95% CI=1.089-1.479), p = 0.002] were predictive factors for the composite end-point.
    Conclusions: Malnutrition according to GLIM criteria represents a significant predictive risk factor for composite end-point of mortality and risk of hospitalization in SSc patients.

    Abstract The spectrum of kidney involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc) includes scleroderma renal crisis, widely recognized as the most severe renal-vascular complication, but also several forms of chronic renal vasculopathy and reduced renal function are complications of scleroderma. Scleroderma renal crisis, myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated glomerulonephritis, penicillamine-associated renal disease, abnormal urinalysis, alteration of vascular endothelial markers, scleroderma associated-vasculopathy with abnormal renal resistance indices and cardiorenal syndromes type 5 were also reported in SSc patients. A frequent form of renal involvement in SSc patients is a subclinical renal vasculopathy, characterized by vascular damage and normal renal function. Indeed, asymptomatic renal changes, expressed by increase of intrarenal stiffness, are often non-progressive in SSc patients but can lead to a reduction in renal functional reserve. The purpose of this review is to provide an assessment of kidney involvement in SSc, from SRC to subclinical renal vasculopathy.

    Abstract Objective: Subclinical nephropathy is underestimated in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Study aim is to evaluate the role of renal resistance indices (RRI) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) assessed by Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) as predictive markers of mortality during 10 years of follow-up in SSc patients.
    Methods: 181 SSc patients (60 years, 152 females) were enrolled. At baseline, the GFR was estimated in 181 SSc patients and RRI was measured in 122 SSc patients. During a follow-up of 10 years we recorded the main complications of disease, date and causes of death.
    Results: eGFR shows a linear negative correlation with RRI. RRI showed a correlation with systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP). Overall survival is lower in SSc patients with eGFR<60 ml/min and RRI ≥0.70 than in SSc patients with eGFR≥60 ml/min (p<0.0001) and with RRI<0.70 (p<0.01) both for mortality due to SSc and all causes. In multivariate analysis, eGFR<60 ml/min [HR 6.429, 95%CI (1.006-41.08), p<0.05] and forced vital capacity (FVC) [HR 0.954, 95%CI (0.911-1), p<0.05] are predictive markers of mortality due to SSc, while eGFR [HR 3.617, 95%CI (1.370-9.554), p<0.01], RRI [HR 0.210, 95% CI (0.068-0.649), p<0.01], age [HR 1.062, 95%CI (1.023-1.103), p<0.01], FVC [HR 0.967, 95%CI (0.946-0.989), p<0.01] and disease activity index (DAI) [HR 1.663, 95%CI (1.262-2.191), p<0.0001] are predictive markers of mortality due to all causes.
    Conclusion: We demonstrate that eGFR is a predictive marker of mortality due to SSc and to all causes, conversely RRI is predictive marker of mortality due to all causes.
