    Abstract Italy is one of the most exposed countries worldwide to COVID-19, and Lombardy is the most affected region in Italy. In this context, Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo in Pavia, one of the largest University hospitals in the region, has been involved in the management of the outbreak since its inception. Immediately after the communication of the first Italian COVID-19+ patient, the Pediatric Unit has been completely reorganized to face the approaching outbreak. The optimization of the Pediatric Unit resources for COVID-19 emergency is reported as an example to safely preserve health activity during the pandemic.

    Abstract Objective: This study aimed to assess the changes in the acceptance rates between double- and single-blind peer review systems.
    Data sources: The search was conducted using Medline, Embase, and ClinicalTrials.gov databases as electronic databases from the inception of each database to June 2021. No restriction for language or geographic location was applied.
    Study eligibility criteria: The selection criteria included randomized controlled trials comparing the double-blind peer review process vs the single-blind peer review process.
    Methods: The primary outcome was manuscripts acceptance rates. The summary measures were reported as relative risk with 95% confidence intervals using the random-effects model meta-analyses. Between-study heterogeneity was explored using the I
    Results: A total of 11 randomized controlled trials, including 3477 reviewers and 3784 manuscripts, were identified. The manuscript acceptance rates were significantly lower in the double-blind (200/1413 [14.2%]) peer review processes than in the single-blind (194/1019 [19.0%]) peer review processes (relative risk, 0.82; 95% confidence interval, 0.70-0.97; n=5 randomized controlled trials). Only 1 randomized controlled trial assessed the authors' and/or institutions' prestige on acceptance rates with results not statistically significant. Only 2 randomized controlled trials assessed the manuscript origin (US or non-US) effect on acceptance rates with results not statistically significant. Gender of the manuscript authors was assessed by only 1 randomized controlled trial, and although blinding or not female author names made no statistical difference, blinding of male author names was associated with a significant decrease in acceptance rate (139/1266 [11.0%] vs 190/1266 [15.0%]; relative risk, 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.59-0.90). Double-blind peer review was deemed successful by reviewers in only approximately 52% of the cases (n=5 randomized controlled trials).
    Conclusion: The double-blind peer review process seemed to be associated with an 18% lower manuscript acceptance rate than the single-blind peer review process. However, given the large heterogeneity among the included studies, more research is needed to confirm these findings and elucidate those factors that can affect the acceptance rate in double- and single-blind peer reviews.

    Abstract Summary: Leveraging local ancestry and haplotype information in genome-wide association studies and downstream analyses can improve the utility of genomics for individuals from diverse and recently admixed ancestries. However, most existing simulation, visualization and variant analysis frameworks are based on variant-level analysis and do not automatically handle these features. We present haptools, an open-source toolkit for performing local ancestry aware and haplotype-based analysis of complex traits. Haptools supports fast simulation of admixed genomes, visualization of admixture tracks, simulation of haplotype- and local ancestry-specific phenotype effects and a variety of file operations and statistics computed in a haplotype-aware manner.

    Abstract Background: Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a valid and increasingly popular treatment option in eccentric arthrosis and cuff arthropathy. We know that the deltoid is the motor of RSA. However, the role of scapular motion has been poorly documented in the literature. The aim of our study is to analyze and quantify the role of the scapular contribution in the functional outcome of patients undergoing RSA.
    Materials and methods: Fourteen patients who underwent primary RSA were included in the study. In all cases, a reverse prosthesis with lateralizing stem was implanted. All patients underwent clinical examination, video recording, and motion analysis. X-ray and postoperative CT examinations were collected to evaluate positioning and any loosening. ShowMotion (NCS Lab srl, Modena, Italy) 3D kinematic tracking system was used to evaluate and measure the scapular motion in 3 planes.
    Results: All patients show substantial amount of posterior tilting and lateral rotation starting at 30° in forward elevation. A further difference is the anticipation of the retraction during the range of motion in the RSA side. The contribution of scapular motion in the RSA shoulder was greater than in the healthy shoulder. In patients with bilateral RSA, the contribution of scapular motion was higher in tilting and lateral rotation in the worse shoulder side in terms of range of motion. This means that to compensate for the loss of glenohumeral motion in RSA, more scapula-thoracic motion is needed to obtain the same thoraco-humeral elevation angle.
    Conclusions: In the light of what has been measured, the post-RSA scapular kinematics has typical characteristics that must be achieved in order to obtain a good functional outcome. We can conclude that on the RSA side, the patients anticipate upward rotation both in flexion and abduction. The contribution of the upward rotation to elevation in the RSA group is therefore more significant. In addition to this, to facilitate elevation movements, there is an anticipation of the scapular retraction and a more prominent tilt resulting in different scapular kinematics. The analysis of scapular motion could be useful in the postoperative follow-up of patients undergoing RSA surgery and improve adaptative physiotherapy protocols. It potentially can even be included in future arthroplasty planning systems.

    Abstract The causal variants and genes underlying thousands of cardiac GWAS signals have yet to be identified. Here, we leverage spatiotemporal information on 966 RNA-seq cardiac samples and perform an expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) analysis detecting eQTLs considering both eGenes and eIsoforms. We identify 2,578 eQTLs associated with a specific developmental stage-, tissue- and/or cell type. Colocalization between eQTL and GWAS signals of five cardiac traits identified variants with high posterior probabilities for being causal in 210 GWAS loci. Pulse pressure GWAS loci are enriched for colocalization with fetal- and smooth muscle- eQTLs; pulse rate with adult- and cardiac muscle- eQTLs; and atrial fibrillation with cardiac muscle- eQTLs. Fine mapping identifies 79 credible sets with five or fewer SNPs, of which 15 were associated with spatiotemporal eQTLs. Our study shows that many cardiac GWAS variants impact traits and disease in a developmental stage-, tissue- and/or cell type-specific fashion.

    Abstract Stem cells exist in vitro in a spectrum of interconvertible pluripotent states. Analyzing hundreds of hiPSCs derived from different individuals, we show the proportions of these pluripotent states vary considerably across lines. We discover 13 gene network modules (GNMs) and 13 regulatory network modules (RNMs), which are highly correlated with each other suggesting that the coordinated co-accessibility of regulatory elements in the RNMs likely underlie the coordinated expression of genes in the GNMs. Epigenetic analyses reveal that regulatory networks underlying self-renewal and pluripotency are more complex than previously realized. Genetic analyses identify thousands of regulatory variants that overlapped predicted transcription factor binding sites and are associated with chromatin accessibility in the hiPSCs. We show that the master regulator of pluripotency, the NANOG-OCT4 Complex, and its associated network are significantly enriched for regulatory variants with large effects, suggesting that they play a role in the varying cellular proportions of pluripotency states between hiPSCs. Our work bins tens of thousands of regulatory elements in hiPSCs into discrete regulatory networks, shows that pluripotency and self-renewal processes have a surprising level of regulatory complexity, and suggests that genetic factors may contribute to cell state transitions in human iPSC lines.

    Abstract Most GWAS loci are presumed to affect gene regulation, however, only ∼43% colocalize with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs). To address this colocalization gap, we identify eQTLs, chromatin accessibility QTLs (caQTLs), and histone acetylation QTLs (haQTLs) using molecular samples from three early developmental (EDev) tissues. Through colocalization, we annotate 586 GWAS loci for 17 traits by QTL complexity, QTL phenotype, and QTL temporal specificity. We show that GWAS loci are highly enriched for colocalization with complex QTL modules that affect multiple elements (genes and/or peaks). We also demonstrate that caQTLs and haQTLs capture regulatory variations not associated with eQTLs and explain ∼49% of the functionally annotated GWAS loci. Additionally, we show that EDev-unique QTLs are strongly depleted for colocalizing with GWAS loci. By conducting one of the largest multi-omic QTL studies to date, we demonstrate that many GWAS loci exhibit phenotypic complexity and therefore, are missed by traditional eQTL analyses.
