    Abstract Levofloxacin hemihydrate (LVXh) is a complex fluoroquinolone drug that exists in both hydrated and anhydrous/dehydrated forms. Due to the complexity of such a compound, the primary aim of this study was to investigate the amorphization capabilities and solid-state transformations of LVXh when exposed to mechanical treatment using ball milling. Spray drying was utilized as a comparative method for investigating the capabilities of complete LVX amorphous (LVXam) formation. The solid states of the samples produced were comprehensively characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, infrared spectroscopy, Rietveld method, and dynamic vapor sorption. The kinetics of the process and the quantification of phases at different time points were conducted by Rietveld refinement. The impact of the different mills, milling conditions, and parameters on the composition of the resulting powders was examined. A kinetic investigation of samples produced using both mills disclosed that it was in fact possible to partially amorphize LVXh upon mechanical treatment. It was discovered that LVXh first transformed to the anhydrous/dehydrated form γ (LVXγ), as an intermediate phase, before converting to LVXam. The mechanism of LVXam formation by ball milling was successfully revealed, and a new method of forming LVXγ and LVXam by mechanical forces was developed. Spray drying from water depicted that complete amorphization of LVXh was possible. The amorphous form of LVX had a glass transition temperature of 80 °C. The comparison of methods highlighted that the formation of LVXam is thus both mechanism- and process-dependent. Dynamic vapor sorption studies of both LVXam samples showed comparable stability properties and crystallized to the most stable hemihydrate form upon analysis. In summary, this work contributed to the detailed understanding of solid-state transformations of essential fluoroquinolones while employing greener and more sustainable manufacturing methods.

    Abstract Identifying disease-causing variants in Rare Disease patients' genome is a challenging problem. To accomplish this task, we describe a machine learning framework, that we called "Suggested Diagnosis", whose aim is to prioritize genetic variants in an exome/genome based on the probability of being disease-causing. To do so, our method leverages standard guidelines for germline variant interpretation as defined by the American College of Human Genomics (ACMG) and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP), inheritance information, phenotypic similarity, and variant quality. Starting from (1) the VCF file containing proband's variants, (2) the list of proband's phenotypes encoded in Human Phenotype Ontology terms, and optionally (3) the information about family members (if available), the "Suggested Diagnosis" ranks all the variants according to their machine learning prediction. This method significantly reduces the number of variants that need to be evaluated by geneticists by pinpointing causative variants in the very first positions of the prioritized list. Most importantly, our approach proved to be among the top performers within the CAGI6 Rare Genome Project Challenge, where it was able to rank the true causative variant among the first positions and, uniquely among all the challenge participants, increased the diagnostic yield of 12.5% by solving 2 undiagnosed cases.

    Abstract Background: We conducted a retrospective epidemiological study about the prevalence of stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a high-income district, comparing some demographic characteristics and outcomes of those patients who had nephrological consultations and those who had not.
    Results: In a district of 400,000 adult subjects in 2020, 925 patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) under 15 mL/min and CKD. In the same period, 747 (80.4%) patients were assessed by nephrologists, while 178 (19.6%) were not. Age (88 vs. 75,
    Conclusions: About 20% of ESKD patients did not receive a nephrologist consultation. Older people and women were more likely not to be referred to nephrology clinics. Unfollowed patients with stage 5 CKD had a significantly higher death rate.

    Abstract Introduction: Longer treatment times, more comorbidity, more severe impairments in social, psychological, and emotional functioning, increased healthcare use, and more hospitalizations are all factors that are related to dysthymia. Given the significant prevalence of dysthymia (including persistent depressive disorder) worldwide, its comorbidity with several mental disorders, and the detrimental effects of these comorbidities, it is important to conduct a systematic review to compare the effects of pharmacological acute and maintenance treatments for dysthymia with placebo and standard care in the last 10 years, based on the publication of DSM5.
    Areas covered: This systematic review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. Databases, including PubMed and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, were searched to assess the effects of pharmacological acute and maintenance treatments for dysthymia in comparison with placebo and treatment as usual.
    Expert opinion: Our review shows that SSRIs and SNRIs present efficacy for dysthymia treatment, and L-Acetylcarnitine should be investigated further for this condition in elderly patients. The comparison of antidepressant medication versus placebo showed coherent results based on three studies favoring pharmacotherapy as an effective treatment for participants with dysthymia. However, the scarcity of research on continuation and maintenance therapy in people with dysthymia highlights the need for more primary research.
