    Abstract Background: In 2017, the European Association of Neuro-Oncology (EANO) published the guideline for palliative care in adults with glioma. The Italian Society of Neurology (SIN), the Italian Society for Palliative Care (SICP), and the Italian Association for Neuro-Oncology (AINO) joined forces to update the guideline, and adapt it to the Italian context.
    Aim: We involved patients, caregivers, and (herein presented) healthcare professionals (HPs) in the formulation of the guideline clinical questions.
    Design and participants: Online survey of Italian HPs experienced in the care of patients with glioma. Participants rated the importance of 14 pre-specified intervention topics on a 0/10 scale and gave their free comments.
    Results: Of 244 participants, 149 (61%) were palliative medicine (PM) HPs and 95 Neuro HPs. Their mean age was 48.9 years, 63% were women, and 48% had over 12 years of experience in the care of glioma patients. Physicians were 68%, followed by nurses (28%), psychologists (7%), therapists (3%), and social workers (2%). Most HPs rated the pre-specified topics as important (score ≥ 7) or critical (score ≥ 9), with some differences between PM and Neuro HP groups. There were 58 free comments: 46 (78%) on nine pre-specified topics, and 13 on four new topics, three of which were guideline-pertinent ("caregiver's support and education"; "family physician's training in neuro-oncology"; and "PM HPs' training in neuro-oncology").
    Conclusions: Participation in the survey was high and information-rich, between-group rating differences reflecting HP background. Participants endorsed the 14 intervention topics devised by the guideline panel and identified three additional topics.

    Abstract Background: In 2017, the European Association for Neuro-Oncology (EANO) published the guideline for palliative care (PC) in adults with glioma. The Italian Society of Neurology (SIN), the Italian Association for Neuro-Oncology (AINO), and the Italian Society for Palliative Care (SICP) joined forces to update and adapt this guideline to the Italian context and aimed to involve patients and carers in the formulation of the clinical questions.
    Methods: During semi-structured interviews with glioma patients and focus group meetings (FGMs) with family carers of deceased patients, participants rated the importance of a set of pre-specified intervention topics, shared their experience, and suggested additional topics. Interviews and FGMs were audio-recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed (framework and content analysis).
    Results: We held 20 interviews and five FGMs (28 carers). Both parties considered the pre-specified topics as important, chiefly information/communication, psychological support, symptoms management, and rehabilitation. Patients aired the impact of focal neurological and cognitive deficits. Carers reported difficulties in dealing with patient's behavior and personality changes and appreciated the preservation of patient's functioning via rehabilitation. Both affirmed the importance of a dedicated healthcare path and patient's involvement in the decision-making process. Carers expressed the need to be educated and supported in their caregiving role.
    Conclusions: Interviews and FGMs were well informative and emotionally challenging. Both parties confirmed the importance of the pre-specified topics, and carers suggested one additional topic: education/support to caregivers. Our findings strengthen the importance of a comprehensive care approach and of addressing the needs of both patients and their family carers.

    Abstract This contribution draws from the experience of intensive care unit psychologists at 2 frontline hospitals in Milan, Italy, during the acute phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this contribution, we describe the main psychological needs observed in clinicians and in the families of COVID-19 patients and illustrate some psychological interventions implemented to respond to these needs. Containing emotions and promoting resilience were the aims of our interventions. In the future, psychological interventions should focus on the elaboration of traumatic experiences and losses.

    Abstract Purpose: Limited data exist on the correlation between higher flow rates of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and its physiologic effects in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF). We assessed the effects of HFNC delivered at increasing flow rate on inspiratory effort, work of breathing, minute ventilation, lung volumes, dynamic compliance and oxygenation in AHRF patients.
    Methods: A prospective randomized cross-over study was performed in non-intubated patients with patients AHRF and a PaO
    Results: Seventeen patients with AHRF were enrolled in the study. At increasing flow rate, HFNC reduced ΔPes (p < 0.001) and PTP
    Conclusions: In this cohort of patients with AHRF, an increasing HFNC flow rate progressively decreased inspiratory effort and improved lung aeration, dynamic compliance and oxygenation. Most of the effect on inspiratory workload and CO

    Abstract Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is a major side effect of several antineoplastic drugs. However, despite its clinical importance, there is no agreement as to the best way to assess the severity and changes in CIPN. We have previously demonstrated a correlation between the severity of CIPN, assessed using the Total Neuropathy Score (TNS) or its reduced versions, and several common toxicity scales. In this study, we investigated two series of patients (total number = 173) who were evaluated at baseline and during chemotherapy with the TNS (n= 122) or the TNSc (the TNS version based exclusively on the clinical evaluation of the patients, n= 51) and with the National Cancer Institute-Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) 2.0, with the aim of comparing the sensitivity to the changes in CIPN severity. In both series, the TNS and the TNSc had a significant correlation with the NCI-CTC in scoring the severity of CIPN, confirming the results of previous studies. Moreover, both the TNS and the TNSc showed a higher sensitivity to CIPN changes. We, therefore, propose the TNSc as a reliable method for assessing not only the severity but also the changes in CIPN.
