    Abstract We presented and discussed one interesting medical prescription by doctor Giuseppe Moscati (1880-1927), who prescribed magnesium oxide (magnesia usta) to a patient with the diagnosis of "neuralgia of the celiac plexus of rheumatic origin". Besides the traditional use of magnesium as antacid remedy at the time, we raised the hypothesis that magnesium could be administered by Moscati in order to treat the neuralgia itself. Considering the scientific background of Moscati at the school of Filippo Bottazzi (1867-1941), a father of Italian biochemistry, we suggested that the doctor tried to apply the preliminary concepts acquired from electrophysiological studies on magnesium to his clinical practice. Only after decades, magnesium was recognized a fundamental ion in the energy metabolism and in contributing to maintain the ionic intracellular homeostasis, including for neurons.

    Title translation Echocardiography in telemedicine: a possible solution for containing waiting lists in cardiology.
    Abstract Background: The length of waiting lists in Italy for outpatient cardiology investigations provided by the National Health System is a serious dysfunction. The shortage of physicians in hospitals makes it difficult to solve this problem by drawing on internal resources. The waiting list at Valduce Hospital in Como for outpatient echocardiographic examinations was 12 months at the beginning of 2018. Therefore, we experimented a new way to deal with this inefficiency.
    Methods: Starting in February 2018, we have undertaken in Valduce Hospital a partnership between the Department of Cardiology and an external startup (Ecocardioservice LLC) which guarantees for outpatients on-site performance by sonographers of echocardiographic examinations that are subsequently reported remotely via telemedicine by experienced cardiologists.
    Results: From February 12, 2018 to July 7, 2022, 20 782 examinations were carried out by this mode. The waiting list was reduced from 12 months to 15-20 days. A new diagnosis or a significant change in pre-existing pathology were detected in 3466 patients well in advance of previous timelines. In 5640 patients we found a known stable pathology. Of the 8926 patients with pathologic examination, 3706 patients were taken over by the Cardiology Department for subsequent investigations, possible hospitalization and, when necessary, interventional or cardiac surgical procedures on an elective basis in 2636 cases (71%) and on an urgent basis in 1070 cases (29%).
    Conclusions: In our experience, a system in which echocardiograms are performed on-site by sonographers and then reported in telecardiology by cardiologists outside the facility makes it possible to meet the demands of the local area and free up internal resources. This organization allowed to bring outpatients waiting lists for echocardiography back within acceptable limits and to intercept early a significant proportion of patients with need for further investigations or procedures.

    Abstract We test the empirical content of the assumption of preference dependent beliefs using a behavioral model of strategic decision making in which the rankings of individuals over final outcomes in simple games influence their beliefs over the opponent’s behavior. This approach— by analogy with Psychological Game Theory—allows for interdependence between preferences and beliefs but reverses the order of causality. We use existing evidence from a multi-stage experiment in which we first elicit distributional preferences in a Random Dictator Game, then estimate beliefs in a related 2×2 effort game conditional on these preferences. Our structural estimations confirm our working hypothesis on how social preferences shape beliefs: subjects with higher guilt (envy) expect others to put less (more) effort, which reduces the expected difference in payoffs.

    Abstract Liquid biopsy can quantify and qualify cell-free (cfDNA) and tumour-derived (ctDNA) DNA fragments in the bloodstream. CfDNA quantification and mutation analysis can be applied to diagnosis, follow-up and therapeutic management as novel oncologic biomarkers. However, some tumor-types release a low amount of DNA into the bloodstream, hampering diagnosis through standard liquid biopsy procedures. Several tumors, as such as brain, kidney, prostate, and thyroid cancer, are in direct contact with other body fluids and may be alternative sources for cfDNA and ctDNA. Non-blood sources of cfDNA/ctDNA useful as novel oncologic biomarkers include cerebrospinal fluids, urine, sputum, saliva, pleural effusion, stool and seminal fluid. Seminal plasma cfDNA, which can be analyzed with cost-effective procedures, may provide powerful information capable to revolutionize prostate cancer (PCa) patient diagnosis and management. In the near future, cfDNA analysis from non-blood biological liquids will become routine clinical practice for cancer patient diagnosis and management.
