    Abstract The incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) is progressively increasing, in line with the aging of the population and with the increase in chronic diseases. The care burden of the disease and above all to its consequences (i.e. ischaemic stroke and heart failure) significantly impacts the various health systems with forecasts of exponential increase in the near future. Clinical forms of AF, i.e. those diagnosed with electrocardiogram, have a clear correlation with systemic embolic events and also with a reduction in survival. Thromboembolic prophylaxis in these patients, with anticoagulant drugs, has in fact been shown to greatly reduce the incidence of ischaemic stroke and improve survival. In recent decades, the widespread use of therapeutic intra-cardiac devices, which allow constant and continuous monitoring of myocardial electrical activity, is bringing to light a large number of atrial high rate episodes (AHREs), which are not associated with clinical manifestation. The incidence of these findings grows linearly with the duration of the observation. More independent studies have shown that AHREs are associated with a risk of stroke that is higher (about double) than controls but significantly lower than in patients with manifest AF. However, taking into consideration patients with ischaemic stroke and wearers of implantable devices, no temporal correlation emerged between the incidence of the ischaemic episode and arrhythmia. The presence of AHRE is associated with an approximately six-fold increase in the incidence of clinical AF but only a minority of these patients meet the criteria for prescribing anticoagulation. Pending the publication of the studies still in progress, the European Society of Cardiology guidelines for the treatment of AF recommend considering the initiation of anticoagulant therapy in patients with long-lasting AHRE (> 24 h) associated with a high embolic risk. In patients with episodes of shorter duration (1-24 h), especially if with high burden, anticoagulant therapy can be considered in case of very high embolic risk (e.g. secondary prevention, CHADVASc ≥ 3).

    Abstract The non-pathogenic β-proteobacterium Cupriavidus necator has the ability to switch between chemoorganotrophic, chemolithoautotrophic and electrotrophic growth modes, making this microorganism a widely used host for cellular bioprocesses. Oxygen usually acts as the terminal electron acceptor in all growth modes. However, several challenges are associated with aeration, such as foam formation, oxygen supply costs, and the formation of an explosive gas mixture in chemolithoautotrophic cultivation with H

    Abstract Plant-herbivore interactions have been extensively studied in tomato plants and their most common pests. Tomato plant chemical defenses, both constitutive and inducible, play a role in mediating these interactions. Damaged tomato plants alter their volatile profiles, affecting herbivore preferences between undamaged and damaged plants. However, previous studies on tomato volatiles and herbivore preferences have yielded conflicting results, both in the volatile chemistry itself as well as in the attraction/repellent herbivore response. This study revisits the volatile-mediated interactions between tomato plants and two of their main herbivores: the leafminer Tuta absoluta and the whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum. Tomato plant volatiles were analyzed before and after damage by each of these herbivores, and the preference for oviposition (T. absoluta) and settling (T. vaporariorum) on undamaged and damaged plants was assessed both after conspecific and heterospecific damage. We found that both insects consistently preferred damaged plants over undamaged plants. The emission of herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) increased after T. absoluta damage but decreased after T. vaporariorum damage. While some of our findings are in line with previous reports, T. absoluta preferred to oviposit on plants damaged by conspecifics, which differs from earlier studies. A comparison of HIPVs emitted after damage by T. absoluta and T. vaporariorum revealed differences in up- or down-regulation, as well as significant variations in specific compounds (12 for T. absoluta and 26 for T. vaporariorum damaged-plants). Only two compounds, β-caryophyllene and tetradecane, significantly varied because of damage by either herbivore, in line with the overall variation of the HIPV blend. Differences in HIPVs and herbivore preferences may be attributed to the distinct feeding habits of both herbivores, which activate different defensive pathways in plants. The plant's challenge in simultaneously activating both defensive pathways may explain the preference for heterospecific damaged plants found in this study, which are also in line with our own observations in greenhouses.

    Abstract Crystallization is a widely used purification technique in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and precursor molecules. However, when impurities and desired compounds have similar molecular structures, separation by crystallization may become challenging. In such cases, some impurities may form crystalline solid solutions with the desired product during recrystallization. Understanding the molecular structure of these recrystallized solid solutions is crucial to devise methods for effective purification. Unfortunately, there are limited analytical techniques that provide insights into the molecular structure or spatial distribution of impurities that are incorporated within recrystallized products. In this study, we investigated model solid solutions formed by recrystallizing salicylic acid (SA) in the presence of anthranilic acid (AA). These two molecules are known to form crystalline solid solutions due to their similar molecular structures. To overcome challenges associated with the long

    Abstract Volume restoration remains the principal target to be addressed when approaching midface rejuvenation, and absorbable sutures can create a suspension system that addresses ptotic skin located primarily in the midface. The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effectiveness in lifting sagging tissue and to determine the outcome of thread lifting procedures of the midface. Six participants were enrolled and treated with suspension threads to correct mild to moderate ptosis of the flabby tissues of the midface. Volumetric changes were calculated at t0 (pretreatment), t1(120 days) and t2 (365 days), with a mean follow-up time of 349.64 days, (range from 304 to 380.5 days). Results showed an overall average improvement of 5.59 mL at 120 days (t0-t1) after thread implantation, up to a mean value of 4.16 mL at the end of the 350 days follow up (t0-t2). A comparison was made in between and statistical analysis was performed with level of significance set at P < .05. The records shown suggest that it is possible to achieve volume restoration which lasts up to 12 months as all parameters improved significantly (P < .05) at t1 and at t2 with respect to t0. Facial tissues suspension by means of threads is therefore safe and effective, as it is possible to achieve tissue repositioning which lasts up to 12 months for the correction of mild to moderate ptosis of the midface.

    Abstract In the mid-1990s, the identification of BRCA1/2 genes for breast cancer susceptibility led to testing breast MRI accuracy in screening women at increased risk. From 2000 onwards, ten intraindividual comparative studies showed the marked superiority of MRI: the sensitivity ranged 25-58% for mammography, 33-52% for ultrasound, 48-67% for mammography plus ultrasound, and 71-100% for MRI; specificity 93-100%, 91-98%, 89-98%, and 81-98%, respectively. Based on the available evidence, in 2006-2007, the UK National Institute for Clinical Excellence and the American Cancer Society recommended MRI screening of high-risk women, followed by other international guidelines. Despite evidence-based medicine ideally requiring randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for policy changes regarding screening procedures, breast MRI for high-risk screening was adopted in many countries worldwide. In 2019, the results of the "DENSE" RCT were published in favour of breast MRI screening of women with extremely dense breasts compared to mammography alone, showing a reduction of more than 80% of the interval cancer rate in women who attended MRI screening. Even though international recommendations in favour of this practice were issued, substantial obstacles still prevent health systems from adopting breast MRI for screening women with extremely dense breasts. A paradox is evident: we adopted a screening procedure without evidence from RCTs, and now that we have this level-1 evidence for the same procedure, we fail to do so. This critical review tries to explain the differences between the two cases, as examples of the complex pathways of translating radiological research into everyday practice.Critical relevance statement The high-level evidence in favour of breast MRI screening of women with extremely dense breasts is failing to persuade policy makers to translate this into clinical practice.Key points• Breast MRI screening of high-risk women was adopted on basis of the evidence provided by test accuracy comparative studies showing an MRI performance greatly superior to that of mammography.• Breast MRI screening of women with extremely dense breasts has not been adopted although the evidence of a large reduction in interval cancer rate from a RCT.• We illustrate the differences between the two cases, as an example of the complex ways of translation of radiological research in clinical practice according to the EBM theory.
