    Abstract Cancer patients may be at high risk of infection and poor outcomes related to SARS-CoV-2. Analyzing their prognosis, examining the effects of baseline characteristics and systemic anti-cancer active therapy (SACT) are critical to their management through the evolving COVID-19 pandemic. The AIOM-L CORONA was a multicenter, observational, ambispective, cohort study, with the intended participation of 26 centers in the Lombardy region (Italy). A total of 231

    Abstract The role of the radiation oncologist in the management of patients affected by prostate cancer is increasingly considered thanks to important technological innovations that have marked the radiotherapeutic approach in its three main fields: external beam radiotherapy (EB-RT), brachytherapy (interventional radiotherapy, I-RT), and metabolic radiotherapy (M-RT) through the use of new radiopharmaceuticals. Regarding the modern brachytherapy, the introduction of intensity-modulated techniques (IM-IRT), thanks to the implementation of HDR remote-after loading machines, and image-guided techniques (IG-IRT), has led to advantages in optimizing dose distribution after implantation with the possibility of modulating the dose according to the intraprostatic dominant lesions, limiting the dose to the surrounding tissues with improvement in local control and a significant reduction in side effects. I-RT today represents a safe, scientifically established, effective and well-tolerated treatment for patients affected by prostate cancer. Like most special techniques, in order to obtain the best results, it must be performed in centers with a high volume of activity and consolidated experience with an interdisciplinary approach.

    Abstract The frontal aslant tract (FAT) is a white matter tract connecting the superior frontal gyrus (SFG) to the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). Its dorsal origin is identified in humans in the medial wall of the SFG, in the supplementary motor complex (SM-complex). However, empirical observation shows that many FAT fibres appear to originate from the dorsal, rather than medial, portion of the SFG. We quantitatively investigated the actual origin of FAT fibres in the SFG, specifically discriminating between terminations in the medial wall and in the convexity of the SFG. We analysed data from 105 subjects obtained from the Human Connectome Project (HCP) database. We parcelled the cortex of the IFG, dorsal SFG and medial SFG in several regions of interest (ROIs) ordered in a caudal-rostral direction, which served as seed locations for the generation of streamlines. Diffusion imaging data (DWI) was processed using a multi-shell multi-tissue CSD-based algorithm. Results showed that the number of streamlines originating from the dorsal wall of the SFG significantly exceeds those from the medial wall of the SFG. Connectivity patterns between ROIs indicated that FAT sub-bundles are segregated in parallel circuits ordered in a caudal-rostral direction. Such high degree of coherence in the streamline trajectory allows to establish pairs of homologous cortical parcels in the SFG and IFG. We conclude that the frontal origin of the FAT is found in both dorsal and medial surfaces of the superior frontal gyrus.

    Abstract Aim: This study aimed to investigate Italian dentists' knowledge of and attitudes toward obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children.
    Methods: An anonymous questionnaire was prepared using Google Forms and sent to dentists in Italy through private social platforms. The first part of the questionnaire contained basic demographic data questions, and the second part included items about pediatric OSA.
    Results: A total of 125 responses were collected within 1 month. The interviews revealed gaps in undergraduate and post-graduate training on OSA, and consequently, low self-evaluation of knowledge and self-confidence in managing young patients with OSA. Dentists showed unfavorable attitudes and poor knowledge of the general findings, risk factors, and consequences of pediatric OSA but demonstrated good knowledge of the beneficial effects of rapid maxillary expansion. Orthodontists showed a more favorable attitude and better recognition of the craniofacial features associated with OSA. In addition, a comparison was made between dentists who had graduated more than 5 years ago and new graduates, and differences were found in undergraduate education, which was better for new graduates, and a small number of questions were better answered by experienced dentists.
    Conclusion: This study showed a lack of knowledge about pediatric OSA and its management among Italian dentists, revealing the need to update the dentistry curriculum and organize educational interventions.

    Abstract Oxaliplatin (L-OHP), a diaminocyclohexane platinum derivative, is an active and well tolerated anticancer drug which is presently used in the treatment of gastrointestinal tumours. Since the efficacy of L-OHP in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) has not yet been evaluated, we studied the antiproliferative activity of this compound in vitro in a panel of MM cell lines (XG1, XG1a, U266 and IM-9). We found that L-OHP inhibited the growth of MM cells at therapeutically achievable concentrations (IC(50): 5-10 microM after 24 h of exposure) and was more active than Cisplatin (CDDP) or Carboplatin (CBDCA). The activity of L-OHP was apparently not affected by interleukin-6 (IL-6), the major growth and survival factor of MM cells. We also found that L-OHP induced apoptotic cell death. We demonstrated that the combination of L-OHP with Dexamethasone (Dex) resulted in the enhancement of the anti-myeloma effects. L-OHP and Dex both induced poly adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) cleavage and this induction was enhanced by the combined treatment. L-OHP-induced apoptosis correlated with caspase-3 cleavage, but this correlation could not be demonstrated in Dex-treated cells. Taken together, these in vitro results provide a rationale for the experimental use of L-OHP in the treatment of MM patients and suggest therapeutic combinations of potential value.

    Abstract Predictive and reactive behaviors represent two mutually exclusive strategies in a sensorimotor task. Predictive behavior consists in internally estimating timing and features of a target stimulus and relies on a cortical medial frontal system [superior frontal gyrus (SFG)]. Reactive behavior consists in waiting for actual perception of the target stimulus and relies on the lateral frontal cortex [inferior frontal gyrus (IFG)]. We investigated whether SFG-IFG connections by the frontal aslant tract (FAT) can mediate predictive/reactive interactions. In 19 healthy human volunteers, we applied online transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to six spots along the medial and lateral terminations of the FAT, during the set period of a delayed reaction task. Such scenario can be solved using either predictive or reactive strategies. TMS increased the propensity toward reactive behavior if applied to a specific portion of the IFG and increased predictive behavior when applied to a specific SFG spot. The two active spots in the SFG and IFG were directly connected by a sub-bundle of FAT fibers as indicated by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) tractography. Since FAT connectivity identifies two distant cortical nodes with opposite functions, we propose that the FAT mediates mutually inhibitory interactions between SFG and IFG to implement a "winner takes all" decisional process. We hypothesize such role of the FAT to be domain-general, whenever competition occurs between internal predictive and external reactive behaviors. Finally, we also show that anatomic connectivity is a powerful factor to explain and predict the spatial distribution of brain stimulation effects.
