    Abstract Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults. Despite extensive research and clinical trials, median survival post-treatment remains at 15 months. Thus, all opportunities to optimize current treatments and improve patient outcomes should be considered. A recent retrospective clinical study found that taking TMZ in the morning compared to the evening was associated with a 6-month increase in median survival in patients with MGMT-methylated GBM. Here, we hypothesized that TMZ efficacy depends on time-of-day and O
    Methods and results: In vitro recordings using real-time bioluminescence reporters revealed that GBM cells have intrinsic circadian rhythms in the expression of the core circadian clock genes Bmal1 and Per2, as well as in the DNA repair enzyme, MGMT. Independent measures of MGMT transcript levels and promoter methylation also showed daily rhythms intrinsic to GBM cells. These cells were more susceptible to TMZ when delivered at the daily peak of Bmal1 transcription. We found that in vivo morning administration of TMZ also decreased tumor size and increased body weight compared to evening drug delivery in mice bearing GBM xenografts. Finally, inhibition of MGMT activity with O
    Conclusion: We conclude that chemotherapy with TMZ can be dramatically enhanced by delivering at the daily maximum of tumor Bmal1 expression and minimum of MGMT activity and that scoring MGMT methylation status requires controlling for time of day of biopsy.

    Abstract Background: Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication after cardiac surgery being associated with poorer outcomes. Revealing before the operation of left atrial subtle structural/functional abnormalities may help to identify patients at increased risk of POAF. We investigated the role of left atrial strain parameters by preoperative speckle tracking echocardiography as independent predictors of POAF in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft.
    Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft were prospectively enrolled at three Italian centers. All patients underwent transthoracic echocardiography before the operation. The occurrence of POAF up to discharge was monitored.
    Results: Overall, a total of 310 patients were included. POAF was demonstrated in 103 patients (33%). At receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, lower global peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) values significantly predicted the risk of POAF (area under the curve, 0.74;
    Conclusions: A presurgery global PALS <28% is a specific parameter to stratify patients at increased risk of POAF after coronary artery bypass graft. This assessment can be useful to identify patients at higher arrhythmic risk in whom perioperative preventive strategies and stricter monitoring aimed at early diagnosing and treating POAF may be applied.

    Abstract Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) represents the main imaging modality for diagnosing acute myocarditis. However, its limited availability could entail missing or delayed diagnosis. A reduction of left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) correlates with amount of oedema in acute myocarditis and here may be early detected. Aim was to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic role of 3-layers LV GLS in patients with acute myocarditis. Out of 122 patients with suspected acute myocarditis, a total of 86 consecutive patients with CMRI-confirmed acute myocarditis admitted in two Italian institutions were retrospectively screened. Exclusion criteria were met in 29 patients because of poor acoustic window or missing data. A total of 57 patients were then included. Clinical characteristics, laboratory examinations, transthoracic echocardiography data and STE parameters were collected early after hospitalization. In the study population, mean age was 38.8 ± 15.6 years, the prevalence of male gender was 90%. On admission, 22 patients (39%) had fever (body temperature > 37.5 °), mean white blood cell (WBC) count was 10.9 ± 1.7/10^3 and overall LV ejection fraction was 50.1% ± 11.2. An epicardial LV GLS < 18% was present in 74% of patients, and a model including at least one of LV GLS < 18% (absolute value), fever and WBC > 10.0/10^3 was able to identify all patients with CMRI-diagnosed acute myocarditis. An epicardial LV GLS < 15.3% (absolute value) at baseline significantly predicted the lack of myocarditis resolution during follow-up (AUC 0.76, 95% CI 0.58-0.93, p = 0.02). A multiparametric model including epicardial LV GLS, fever and elevated WBC count on admission could be useful for early diagnosing an acute myocarditis, especially when CMRI is not promptly available. Baseline epicardial LV GLS may also identify patients with less-likely myocarditis resolution.

    Abstract Context: Since the COVID-19 outbreak, the number of girls with suspected precocious puberty has increased.
    Objective: To compare the incidence of idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) during COVID-19 with that of the previous 4 years.
    Methods: Anthropometric, biochemical, and radiological parameters were collected between January 2016 and June 2021 from 133 girls who met the Rapidly Progressive ICPP criteria (RP-ICPP).
    Results: We found a higher incidence of RP-ICPP between March 2020 and June 2021 (group 2) compared with January 2016 through March 2020 (group 1) (53.5% vs 41.1%); 2021 showed the highest annual incidence (
    Conclusions: A spike in new diagnoses of idiopathic (1.79-fold higher) and RP-CPP coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic. The incidence of RP-ICPP was 1.3-fold higher during COVID-19 with a trend toward an increase in body mass index SD score. The expanding use of digital devices and the reduction of daily physical activity represent possible risk factors.

    Abstract Context: Rapid-onset obesity with central hypoventilation, hypothalamic dysfunction, and autonomic dysregulation with neural crest tumors (ROHHAD-NET) syndrome pathophysiology remains elusive. Acquired neuroimmunological dysfunction has been proposed as a possible pathogenetic pathway.
    Objective: The aim of our study was to characterize lymphocyte subpopulations subsets in peripheral blood (PB) and to evaluate a panel of proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines in ROHHAD(NET) patients vs controls.
    Methods: We included 11 ROHHAD(NET) patients, 7 ROHHAD and 4 ROHHAD-NET, selected by clinical criteria. Controls were 11 simple obese children, matched for age and sex. Flow cytometric analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed on PB and serum samples of the 2 groups.
    Results: Analysis revealed that T lymphocytes are significantly increased in ROHHAD(NET) patients (
    Conclusion: Our findings contribute to support the hypothesis of immune dysregulation, which may underlie this complex, often fatal disease. Because ROHHAD(NET) syndrome is an ultra-rare disease, multicentric studies are needed to improve the effect of our data in the management of this condition.

    Abstract Cyclothone braueri (Stomiiformes, Gonostomatidae) is a widely distributed fish inhabiting the mesopelagic zone of marine tropical and temperate waters. Constituting one of the largest biomasses of the ocean, C. braueri is a key element in most of the ecological processes occurring in the twilight layer. We focused on the ecological processes linked to early life stages in relation to marine pelagic environmental drivers (temperature, salinity, food availability and geostrophic currents) considering different regions of the Central Mediterranean Sea. A multivariate morphometric analysis was carried out using six parameters with the aim of discerning different larval morphotypes, while a fragment of 367 bp representing the 12S ribosomal RNA gene was used to perform molecular analyses aimed at determining the intraspecific genetic variability. Analysis highlighted two geographically distinct morphotypes not genetically discernible and related to the different nutritional conditions due to spatial heterogeneities in terms of temperature and food availability. The body depth (BD) emerged as an appropriate morphometric parameter to detect the larval condition in this species. Molecular analysis highlighted a moderate genetic divergence in the fish population, showing the recurrence of two phylogroups not geographically separated.
