    Abstract I Centri di Permanenza per il Rimpatrio (CPR) sono luoghi che hanno ricevuto poca attenzione da parte delle scienze sociali. Questo contributo si focalizza sul tema delle condotte autolesionistiche, unanimemente riferite come assai frequenti dagli osservatori, e si propone d’individuare le condizioni che permettano di metterne in risalto la politicità. Tali condizioni saranno delineate, da un lato, tramite l’analisi del sistema CPR, e, dall’altro, per mezzo di un riesame critico dei concetti di “campo” e “agency”, con riferimento obbligato ai lavori di Giorgio Agamben e Michel Foucault. Se questi luoghi – quanto mai “d’eccezione” – sembrano costringere massimamente le possibilità delle persone che vi sono trattenute, abolendo in apparenza il campo del politico, la condotta autolesionistica, qualunque siano le motivazioni che soggettivamente la sostengono, individua il cuore biopolitico di tali istituzioni, rivelando così la propria intrinseca e “oggettiva” politicità.

    Abstract Nanofluidics has a very promising future owing to its numerous applications in many domains. It remains, however, very difficult to understand the basic physico-chemical principles that control the behavior of solvents confined in nanometric channels. Here, water and ion transport in carbon nanotubes is investigated using classical force field molecular dynamics simulations. By combining one single walled carbon nanotube (uniformly charged or not) with two perforated graphene sheets, we mimic single nanopore devices similar to experimental ones. The graphitic edges delimit two reservoirs of water and ions in the simulation cell from which a voltage is imposed through the application of an external electric field. By analyzing the evolution of the electrolyte conductivity, the role of the carbon nanotube geometric parameters (radius and chirality) and of the functionalization of the carbon nanotube entrances with OH or COO

    Abstract We performed a longitudinal shotgun metagenomic investigation of the plaque microbiome associated with peri-implant diseases in a cohort of 91 subjects with 320 quality-controlled metagenomes. Through recently improved taxonomic profiling methods, we identified the most discriminative species between healthy and diseased subjects at baseline, evaluated their change over time, and provided evidence that clinical treatment had a positive effect on plaque microbiome composition in patients affected by mucositis and peri-implantitis.

    Abstract Viruses are an abundant and crucial component of the human microbiome, but accurately discovering them via metagenomics is still challenging. Currently, the available viral reference genomes poorly represent the diversity in microbiome samples, and expanding such a set of viral references is difficult. As a result, many viruses are still undetectable through metagenomics even when considering the power of

    Abstract Summary: Background: Neuroblastoma is the most frequent extracranial solid tumour in children, accounting for ∼15% of deaths due to cancer in childhood. The most common clinical presentation are abdominal tumours. An altered gut microbiome composition has been linked to multiple cancer types, and reported in murine models of neuroblastoma. Whether children with neuroblastoma display alterations in gut microbiome composition remains unexplored. Methods: We assessed gut microbiome composition by shotgun metagenomic profiling in an observational cross-sectional study on 288 individuals, consisting of patients with a diagnosis of neuroblastoma at disease onset (N = 63), healthy controls matching the patients on the main covariates of microbiome composition (N = 94), healthy siblings of the patients (N = 13), mothers of patients (N = 59), and mothers of the controls (N = 59). We examined taxonomic and functional microbiome composition and mother-infant strain transmission patterns. Findings: Patients with neuroblastoma displayed alterations in gut microbiome composition characterised by reduced microbiome richness, decreased relative abundances of 18 species (including Phocaeicola dorei and Bifidobacterium bifidum), enriched protein fermentation and reduced carbohydrate fermentation potential. Using machine learning, we could successfully discriminate patients from controls (AUC = 82%). Healthy siblings did not display such alterations but resembled the healthy control group. No significant differences in maternal microbiome composition nor mother-to-offspring transmission were detected. Interpretation: Patients with neuroblastoma display alterations in taxonomic and functional gut microbiome composition, which cannot be traced to differential maternal seeding. Follow-up research should include investigating potential causal links.

    Abstract Malignant bile duct obstruction is typically treated by biliary stenting, which however increases the risk of bacterial infections. Here, we analyzed the microbial content of the biliary stents from 56 patients finding widespread microbial colonization. Seventeen of 36 prevalent stent species are common oral microbiome members, associate with disease conditions when present in the gut, and include dozens of biofilm- and antimicrobial resistance-related genes. This work provides an overview of the microbial communities populating the stents.
