Abstract	The article analyzes how Milanese society has fought two phenomena that attacked it over the 25 years between 1968 and 1993 (the year of the indictment of the socialist leader Bettino Craxi and the mafia massacre in Via Palestro): terrorism –especially left-wing terrorism– and mafia. In other words, it seeks to frame the history of the richest and most cosmopolitan metropolis in Italy from a special point of view. The article does not deal with the economic and trade union struggles, nor with the political struggles of Bettino Craxi, the League or Silvio Berlusconi, but with the people’s struggle against two direct enemies of democracy and legality. It thus offers some critical notes on the history of two different movements. Both were rather linked to civil society than to politics or the world of work. Both played an important role in the defense of the institutions. The antiterrorism movement was less structured and visible, while the antimafia one was more attended and organized. Both were forced to confront diffidence and cultural prejudices; finally, both were animated, especially the latter, by a strong youth and student component. The story and the analysis are born and fed by the direct memory of the author who for different reasons has participated in the two movements intensely: in the second case also playing a leadership role. The genre chosen is therefore that of the “sociological diary”.

Abstract	Background: Six Sarcocystis species are known to use cattle (Bos taurus) as the intermediate host, two of which, S. hominis and S. heydorni, are zoonotic. There is a need for a method that will enable rapid identification of the Sarcocystis species in cattle. Methods: The diaphragm muscles of 102 cattle from Lithuania were examined for the presence of Sarcocystis spp., using two different methods for species identification. Individual sarcocysts were isolated from squash preparations of the diaphragm muscle under the light microscope, followed by genetic characterisation of excised cysts using sequence analysis of the 18S rRNA (18S rRNA) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox1) genes. The same cattle muscle samples were digested and species-specific PCR analyses targeting cox1 were developed to identify the Sarcocystis isolates to the species level. Results: Under the light microscope, sarcocysts were detected in 87.3% of animals, and Sarcocystis infection was verified in all digested samples. Three species, namely S. cruzi (n = 20), S. bovifelis (n = 23) and S. hirsuta (n = 6), were identified by DNA sequence analysis of isolated sarcocysts. Based on sequence analysis of cox1, the level of genetic variability depended on Sarcocystis species and geographical location. Four Sarcocystis species, S. cruzi (96.1%), S. bovifelis (71.6%), S. hirsuta (30.4%) and S. hominis (13.7%), were confirmed in the digested samples. In individual samples, the most common finding was two species of Sarcocystis (44.1%), followed by three species (26.5%), a single species (24.5%) and four species (4.9%). Conclusions: Although examination of tissue preparations under the light microscrope did not detect any sarcocysts belonging to S. hominis, this species was identified in the digested samples subjected to a cox1-specific PCR analysis. These results demonstrate the need for effective molecular diagnosis techniques to detect Sarcocystis spp., which may be present at a lower prevalence and not detectable among the limited number of sarcocysts identified individually under the light microscope.

Abstract	Background: In recent years, novel radiation therapy techniques have moved clinical practice toward tailored medicine. An essential role is played by the decision support system, which requires a standardization of data collection. The Aim of the Prediction Models In Stereotactic External radiotherapy (PRE.M.I.S.E.) project is the implementation of systems that analyze heterogeneous datasets. This article presents the project design, focusing on brain stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). Materials & methods: First, raw ontology was defined by exploiting semiformal languages (block and entity relationship diagrams) and the natural language; then, it was transposed in a Case Report Form, creating a storage system. Results: More than 130 brain SRT's variables were selected. The dedicated software Beyond Ontology Awareness (BOA-Web) was set and data collection is ongoing. Conclusion: The PRE.M.I.S.E. project provides standardized data collection for a specific radiation therapy technique, such as SRT. Future aims are: including other centers and validating an extracranial SRT ontology.

Abstract	Abstract Random lasers had been made by some biomaterials as light scattering materials, but natural photonic crystals have been rarely reported as scattering materials. Here we demonstrate the ability of natural photonic crystals to drive laser actions by sandwiched the feathers of the Turquoise-Fronted Amazon parrot and dye between two plastic films. Parrot feathers comprise abundant photonic crystals, and different color feathers compose of different ratios of the photonic crystal, which directly affect the feather reflectance. In this study, the multi-reflection scattering that occurred at the interface between the photonic crystal and gain media efficiently reduce the threshold; therefore, the more photonic crystal constitutes in the feathers; the lower threshold can be obtained. The random lasers can be easily made by the integration of bird feather photonic crystals and dye with a simple and sustainable manufacturing approach.

Abstract	Background: The relationship between atopic dermatitis (AD), anxiety and depression in the U.S. adult population is not well established. Objectives: To determine the relationship of AD and its severity with symptoms and diagnosis of anxiety and depression in U.S. adults. Methods: A cross-sectional, population-based study of 2893 adults was performed. AD was determined using modified U.K. Diagnostic Criteria. Results: Adults with AD vs. those without AD had higher mean Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale anxiety (HADS-A) (7·7 vs. 5·6) and depression (HADS-D) (6·0 vs. 4·3) scores and higher prevalences of abnormal (≥ 11) HADS-A (28·6% vs. 15·5%) and HADS-D (13·5% vs. 9·0%) scores. In multivariable linear and logistic regression models controlling for sociodemographics, AD was associated with significantly higher mean HADS-A and HADS-D scores (7·7 and 6·0) and higher odds of abnormal HADS-A [odds ratio (OR) 2·19, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1·65-2·91] and HADS-D scores (OR 1·50, 95% CI 1·04-2·17) (P ≤ 0·03 for all). Mean and abnormal HADS-A and HADS-D scores were increased in moderate and severe/very severe self-reported global AD severity, Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM), Patient-Oriented Scoring AD (PO-SCORAD), PO-SCORAD itch and sleep (P < 0·0001 for all). All respondents with severe PO-SCORAD, POEM and PO-SCORAD itch had borderline or abnormal HADS-A and HADS-D scores. Adults with AD vs. those without AD had higher prevalence of self-reported healthcare-diagnosed anxiety or depression in the past year (40·0% vs. 17·5%). Many adults with AD who had borderline and/or abnormal HADS-A or HADS-D scores reported no diagnosis of anxiety or depression. Conclusions: AD is associated with significantly increased anxiety and depression, which may go undiagnosed. What's already known about this topic? Previous studies found higher rates of anxiety and depression in clinical cohorts of patients with atopic dermatitis. What does this study add? This study found dramatically higher rates of anxiety and depression among adults with atopic dermatitis in the U.S. population, which was primarily driven by atopic dermatitis severity. Anxiety and depression often go undiagnosed in adults with atopic dermatitis.

Abstract	This paper contains original data supporting the antibacterial activities of Gallium (Ga(3+))-doped pro-osteointegrative titanium alloys, obtained via Anodic Spark Deposition (ASD), as described in "The effect of silver or gallium doped titanium against the multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii" (Cochis et al. 2016) [1]. In this article we included an indirect cytocompatibility evaluation towards Saos2 human osteoblasts and extended the microbial evaluation of the Ga(3+) enriched titanium surfaces against the biofilm former Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis strains. Cell viability was assayed by the Alamar Blue test, while bacterial viability was evaluated by the metabolic colorimetric 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Finally biofilm morphology was analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Data regarding Ga(3+) activity were compared to Silver.

Abstract	Many years following transplantation, heart transplant recipients may require noncardiac major surgeries. Anesthesia in such patients may be challenging due to physiological and pharmacological problems regarding allograft denervation and difficult immunosuppressive management. Massive hemorrhage, hypoperfusion, renal, respiratory failure, and infections are some of the most frequent complications related to thoracic aorta aneurysm repair. Understanding how to optimize hemodynamic and infectious risks may have a substantial impact on the outcome. This case report aims at discussing risk stratification and anesthetic management of a 54-year-old heart transplant female recipient, affected by Marfan syndrome, undergoing thoracic aorta aneurysm repair.
