    Abstract Abstract: Onychocytic matricoma (OCM) is a benign neoplasm of the nail matrix. Only 18 cases of this tumor have been reported in the literature to date. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features of 14 patients with OCM. The most common clinical feature was longitudinal xanthopachyonychia (n = 9), followed by longitudinal leukopachyonychia (=3) and longitudinal pachymelanonychia (n = 2). The most common clinical findings identified following dermoscopy and analysis at high magnification of classical photographs were free-edge thickening of the nail plate without pitting (n = 14), longitudinal ridging (n = 7), round white clods (n = 7), white dots (n = 7), and filiform hemorrhages (n = 7), followed by oval and linear white clods (n = 5), fuzzy lateral border (n = 5), and red-purple blood clods (n = 3). Nail clipping histopathology showed a thickened nail plate with multiple, small, round-to-oval spaces. The tumor expressed immunopositivity for LEF-1. Dermoscopy of the nail plate and nail clipping histology provides useful information with regards to the differential diagnosis with subungual squamous cell carcinoma and nail melanoma. Ex vivo-in vivo correlation facilitates a better dermoscopic assessment of this unique underrecognized disease. However, the differential diagnosis between OCM and onychocytic carcinoma requires biopsy of the tumor. LEF-1 as an onychogenic marker can be used to resolve the differential diagnosis between OCM and subungual longitudinal acanthoma/seborrheic keratosis.

    Abstract Many studies in different settings have suggested that migrants from countries with skewed sex ratios at birth tend to adjust the sex of their offspring to ensure the birth of at least one male child. Enlarging the scope of existing research, the present study explores the phenomenon by studying the sex ratio at birth and sex selection at birth among migrants in Italy, focussing on birth order and the sex of the previous child. We perform a descriptive analysis of SRB by birth order (first, second and third), sex of the previous children, inter-birth interval and citizenship of the child. We analyse data from the Longitudinal register on reproductive histories from 1999 to 2017 (ISTAT). Results show significantly higher values of SRB for third births among Indian and Chinese communities when the first and second births are girls. A skewed SRB is also present among Indian babies born after a female firstborn. A more detailed analysis of SRBs for immigrants from China and India, by the sex of the previous children and inter-birth interval between second and third birth, did not indicate significant changes in SRB when the inter-birth interval is longer. Our study provides evidence for policymaking. However, further research is needed to address the causes of sex selection among immigrant communities. Efforts to alter gender norms and reduce son preference within communities are required to tackle gender discrimination against second-generation girls.

    Abstract Despite the potentialities of the quantum mechanics (QM)/fluctuating charge (FQ) approach to model the spectral properties of solvated systems, its extensive use has been hampered by the lack of reliable parametrizations of solvents other than water. In this paper, we substantially extend the applicability of QM/FQ to solvating environments of different polarities and hydrogen-bonding capabilities. The reliability and robustness of the approach are demonstrated by challenging the model to simulate solvatochromic shifts of four organic chromophores, which display large shifts when dissolved in apolar, aprotic or polar, protic solvents.

    Abstract Aims: Onychomatricoma (OM), an uncommon benign fibroepithelial neoplasm of the nail unit, is sometimes diagnostically challenging for clinicians and pathologists. OM consistently expresses CD34, but no specific immunohistohemical markers or recurrent genetic alterations have been identified to date. Recent studies have suggested that Wnt signalling is a key molecular characteristic of OM.
    Methods and results: Ten cases were analysed: four classical OM including two with pleomorphic cells; two superficial acral fibromyxoma-like variants of OM; three micropapilliferum variants of OM including one with pleomorphic cells; and one proliferating variant of OM. Immunohistochemically, the spindle cells were positive with CD34 (n = 10) and CD99 (n = 1), with focal reactivity for CD10 (n = 5). The epithelial component of the tumours expressed immunopositivity for LEF-1. Using array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH), we demonstrated that all OM, including its variants that were tested (n = 8), harboured a few copy number alterations with losses of whole or part of chromosome 13 including the RB1 gene (n = 8) and chromosome 16 (n = 6).
    Conclusion: We report a recurrent loss of RB1 (13q) as a possible driver molecular event in OM indicating a relationship between OM and other lesions of the spectrum of the so-called '13q/RB1' family of tumours. We did not identify a role for the Wnt/beta-catenin signalling pathway, as has been proposed in a recent study. LEF-1 could be a potential sensitive and specific marker of OM and should be used in the differential diagnosis between OM, superficial acral fibromyxoma, and the CD34-positive fibrosing family of tumours.

    Abstract We present a detailed computational study of the UV/Vis spectra of four relevant flavonoids in aqueous solution, namely luteolin, kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin. The absorption spectra are simulated by exploiting a fully polarizable quantum mechanical (QM)/molecular mechanics (MM) model, based on the fluctuating charge (FQ) force field. Such a model is coupled with configurational sampling obtained by performing classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The calculated QM/FQ spectra are compared with the experiments. We show that an accurate reproduction of the UV/Vis spectra of the selected flavonoids can be obtained by appropriately taking into account the role of configurational sampling, polarization, and hydrogen bonding interactions.

    Abstract Hearing relies on the proper functioning of auditory hair cells and on actin-based cytoskeletal structures. Diaphanous-related formins (DRFs) are evolutionarily conserved cytoskeletal proteins that regulate the nucleation of linear unbranched actin filaments. They play key roles during metazoan development, and they seem particularly pivotal for the correct physiology of the reproductive and auditory systems. Indeed, in

    Abstract Background: In the last decades, the use of the helmet interface to deliver noninvasive respiratory support has steadily increased. When delivering oxygen therapy, conditioning of inspired gas is mandatory, as the water content of medical gas is neglectable. To minimize the risk of airway damage, it is recommended to achieve an absolute humidity greater than 10 mg H2O/L. The primary aim of the study was to assess the performance of 3 different heated humidifiers to condition gas during helmet continuous positive airway pressure and to compare them with a setting without active humidification.
    Methods: We performed a crossover randomized physiological study in healthy volunteers. Absolute humidity, relative humidity, and temperature were measured during 4 steps (no humidification and the 3 heated humidifiers, performed in a randomized order) and at 3 time points (after 1, 5, and 10 minutes).
    Results: Eight subjects participated to the study. Without active humidification, absolute humidity was constantly below the recommended level. All humidifiers conditioned the inspired gases to an average absolute humidity greater than 10 mg H2O/L. Overall, the best performance, in terms of absolute humidity, was obtained with H900 (19.74 ± 0.50 mg H2O/L), followed by TurbH2O (-6.82 mg H2O/L vs H900; 95% confidence interval, -8.49 to -5.14; P < .05) and F&P 810 (-9.03 mg H2O/L vs H900; 95% confidence interval, -10.70 to -7.35; P < .05).
    Conclusions: Active humidification is required to achieve adequate conditioning of inspired gas during helmet continuous positive airway pressure. The choice between different humidifiers available on the market should be made according to the local needs and expertise.
