    Abstract The adult-onset focal dystonias are a group of clinically heterogeneous disorders that affect different regions of the body. Although they affect different regions with different clinical manifestations, there is evidence that etiopathogenesis is shared at the anatomical, physiological, and genetic levels. However, there is also evidence that etiopathogenesis varies. This chapter summarizes the evidence for lumping or splitting these apparently different clinical phenotypes. It also includes some potential explanations to explain the similarities and differences.

    Abstract Many cardiovascular diseases and comorbidities increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) and further complications. Identifying and managing these conditions is critical for the prevention and control of AF, contributing to optimal patient management. We describe the case of a 74-year-old patient suffering from arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus, with HCV related liver disease evolved into liver cirrhosis. The patient received aorto-coronary bypass for ischemic heart disease and PTCA for unstable angina. After six months paroxysmal episodes of AF developed and therapy with sotalol and edoxaban was started. Following an increase in the severity of paroxysmal AF, with the occurrence of an episode requiring cardiovertion, we opted to control the frequency with a pharmacological strategy. Due to the marked deterioration of liver function, severe anemia, thrombocytopenia and Grade I esophageal varices, edoxaban was discontinued and therapy with fondaparinux was initiated. After treatment with corticosteroids and antibiotics, the patient was discharged and reintroduction of NOAC therpy was evaluated. After consulting with a liver disease specialist, it was decided to start therapy with dabigatran. Since then the patient is asymptomatic and in stable clinical conditions. The management of AF in complex patients requires an integrated approach that takes into account individual diseases as well as the overall risk profile. In this context, NOACs in general and dabigatran in particular represent a therapeutic option that allows to ensure adequate prevention of thromboembolic risk and to limit the risk of bleeding (Cardiology)

    Abstract In this paper, we discuss the possible influences on the final results due to faith or nonfaith of researchers which study the Linen of Turin. Moreover, we show the state of confusion generated by self-styled scientists through interventions in modest reviews and web censor articles published in peer-reviewed International Journals. In addition, in order to avoid future inextricable confusion (so-called Babel's Tower), we remember the simple rules that must be adopted with the aim to solve the still open “Shroud questions”.

    Abstract Ecological sustainability has recently risen to prominence in scientific research and management applications. Approaches to measuring ecological connectivity and their application to optimize ecological network (EN) design are powerful tools against landscape fragmentation and biodiversity loss. We focused on building an EN by identifying the most sensitive areas for ecological connectivity within the Reggio Calabria (Italy) metropolitan area. We also proposed a defragmentation scenario to improve the obtained EN. The CORINE Land Cover and the Urban Atlas 2018 were used to obtain a fine-scale representation of the study area. Ten terrestrial mammal species were used to model connectivity following a multi-species approach. Dispersal distance, patch size, and resistance to species movement were used to identify patches and corridors. Vegetational fractional coverage based on three years time series of Sentinel-2 red-edge normalized difference vegetation index was used to discriminate areas with higher naturalness. We used graph theory and connectivity metrics to test the EN's robustness and identify locations for restoration in a defragmentation scenario. The obtained EN, formed by three separate components, was composed of 724 arcs and 300 nodes with an average patch area of 27.04 ha. After the defragmentation hypothesis, the EN, formed by only one component, was composed of 771 arcs and 328 nodes with an average patch area of 26.82 ha. It was possible to analyze an EN's connectivity and evaluate the impact of a scenario intended to enhance multi-species connectivity. By comparing several connectivity metrics, we highlighted the potential of land interventions as a planning tool to enhance future ecological sustainability and biodiversity conservation.

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the change of white blood cell count, serum concentration of cortisol, C-reactive protein, albumin and globulin fractions in horse after road transport, and to assess the linkage among hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and inflammatory reaction. From 10 horses blood samples were collected at rest, before road transport (218 km) (BT); after unloaded (AT), 30 and 60 min after unloaded (AT30 and AT60) in order to assess white blood cell count (WBC), serum cortisol, C-reactive protein (CRP), total proteins, albumin, α1-, α-2, β1-, β2- and γ-globulins. WBC, cortisol, CRP, α1-, α-2 and β2-globulins values increased after road transport than rest condition (p < 0.001). Albumin and A/G ratio showed lower values after road transport than rest (p < 0.001). Pearson's test showed a negative correlation between cortisol and the values of WBC, CRP, α1-, α2-, β1-, β2- globulins, and a positive correlation between WBC and serum concentration of CRP, α1- and α2-, β1-, β2-globulins at AT and AT30. The results showed that road transport evokes an inflammatory like-status in horses. Moreover, the activation of HPA and the onset of acute phase reaction in response to road transport seem to be interconnected with effects on horse's immune status.
