    Abstract Disease classification of complex and heterogenous diseases, such as acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), is continuously updated to define diagnoses, appropriate treatments, and assist research and education. Recent availability of molecular profiling techniques further benefits the classification of AML. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of haematolymphoid tumours and the International Consensus Classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukaemia from 2022 are two updated versions of the WHO 2016 classification. As a consequence, the European LeukemiaNet 2022 recommendations on the diagnosis and management of AML in adults have been also updated. The current review provides a practical interpretation of these guidelines to facilitate the diagnosis of AML and discusses genetic testing, disease genetic heterogeneity, and FLT3 mutations. We propose a practical algorithm for the speedy diagnosis of AML. Future classifications may need to incorporate gene mutation combinations to enable personalised treatment regimens in the management of patients with AML.

    Abstract Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), is a hematologic malignancy characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of mature B lymphocytes. CLL is the most prevalent leukemia in Western countries. Its presentation can range from asymptomatic with the incidental finding of absolute lymphocytosis on a routine blood test, to symptomatic disease requiring immediate intervention. Prognosis of the disease is defined by the presence or absence of specific mutations such as TP53, chromosomal abnormalities such as del(17p), a type of IGHV mutational status, and elevation of B2M and LDH. Treatment of CLL in the United States and Europe has evolved over the recent years thanks to the development of targeted therapies. The standard of care has shifted from traditional chemoimmunotherapy approaches to targeted therapies including Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors (BTKis) and BCL2 inhibitors, administered either as monotherapy or in combination with CD20 monoclonal antibodies. Several clinical trials have also recently evaluated combinations of BTKi and venetoclax and showed the combination to be well tolerated and able to induce deep remissions. Targeted therapies have a good safety profile overall; however, they also have unique toxicities that are important to recognize. Diarrhea, fatigue, arthralgia, infections, cytopenias, bleeding, and cardiovascular toxicities (including atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, and hypertension) are the adverse events (AEs) commonly associated with BTKis. Initiation of therapy with venetoclax requires close monitoring because of the risk for tumor lysis syndrome associated with this agent, particularly in patients with a high disease burden. Development of newer target therapies is ongoing and the therapeutic landscape in CLL is expanding rapidly.

    Abstract Neutropenia and febrile neutropenia are common and potentially life-threating events associated with chemotherapy treatment in Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Neutropenia-related infectious events could be an issue both for direct clinical consequences and for delay in treatment delivery, affecting final outcomes in a potentially highly curable disease. Pegfilgrastim is the pegylated form of filgrastim, the recombinant form of human G-CSF, capable of prevent and mitigate neutropenic effects of chemotherapy, when adopted as primary prophylaxis in several hematological malignancies. No updated version of major international guidelines provides clear indication on prophylaxis use of pegfilgrastim in HL to prevent febrile neutropenia episodes in HL. Moreover, to date, scarce and non-uniform clinical experiences evaluating pegfilgrastim as prophylaxis in HL are present in the literature. Herein, we propose a brief summary of the literature data about efficacy and safety of the use of pegfilgrastim as primary prophylaxis in HL during chemotherapy treatment.

    Abstract Objective: Italian residential facilities (RFs) aim to promote human rights and recovery for individuals with severe mental disorders. Italian RFs can be distinguished into five main types: high-intensity rehabilitation (RF1), medium-intensity rehabilitation (RF2), medium-level support (RF3.1), high-level support (RF3.2), low-level support (RF3.3). This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Italian RFs in achieving functional autonomy while upholding human rights and recovery.
    Methods: Data on socio-demographics, clinical information, patient and staff assessments of functional autonomy, types of interventions, and RF performance in various domains were collected in a pilot study with a cross-sectional design. Descriptive and inferential analyses were conducted.
    Results: Twelve RFs and 113 patients participated, with varying proportions in each RF type. RF1 patients were the oldest (
    Conclusions: This pilot study suggests that Italian RFs generally aligne with their mission and human rights principles, but personalizing interventions and implementing recovery-oriented practices face challenges.

    Abstract Abstract At this pandemic time, each person is experimenting with the feeling of being at risk of a sudden and invincible attack of an invisible enemy. Users with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) of mental health supported accommodation services in Verona have reacted differently to the pandemic lockdown, depending on the specific mental health disorder they suffer. Severe psychotic patients after the first two weeks of relaxation had relapsed, people with DOC was helpful for services cleaning common spaces, patients with psychotic personality disorders felt released of not being obliged to have external relationships, persons with borderline disorders self-contained or 'dare' the virus, manic users had difficulties in respecting rules and patients with depression and anxiety worsen. Overall, the staff adapted interventions according to each user-specific reaction to the lockdown, the level of solidarity grew up among users who have shown a higher than the expected capacity of resilience. The overall impact of the pandemic state arose consciousness on the importance of the well-know and developed daily rehabilitation interventions for SMI. Probably this experience might be a model for the general population.

    Abstract Introduction: Personal recovery is associated with socio-demographic and clinical factors, and gender seems to influence the recovery process. This study aimed to investigate: i) differences in the recovery goals of men and women users of a community mental health service in Italy; ii) any differences by gender in recovery over six months using the Mental Health Recovery Star (MHRS).
    Methods: Service users and staff completed the MHRS together at recruitment and six months later to agree the recovery goals they wished to focus on. Socio-demographic and clinical characteristics and ratings of symptoms (BPRS), needs (CAN), functioning (FPS), and functional autonomy (MPR) were collected at recruitment and six months follow-up. Comparisons between men and women were made using t-tests.
    Results: Ten women and 15 men completed the MHRS with 19 mental health professionals. Other than gender, men and women had similar socio-demographic, and clinical characteristics at recruitment. Women tended to choose recovery goals that focused on relationships whereas men tended to focus on work related goals. At follow-up, both men and women showed improvement in their recovery (MHRS) and women were less likely to focus on relationship related goals, perhaps because some had found romantic partners. There were also gains for both men and women in engagement with work related activities. Ratings of functional autonomy (MPR) improved for both men and women, and men also showed improvement in symptoms (BPRS) and functioning (FPS).
    Conclusions: Our findings suggest that collaborative care planning tools such as the MHRS can assist in identifying individualized recovery goals for men and women with severe mental health problems as part of their rehabilitation.

    Abstract Introduction: The introduction of target molecules and immunological therapies is changing the treatment landscape of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
    Areas covered: We recapitulate the biological therapies that can be employed in the treatment of elderly patients with AML. Alongside small molecules inhibitors that target specific gene mutations, antibodies, tumor microenvironment modulators, and cellular therapies are being developed for the cure of the disease. Here, we report the biological activities, the efficacy and toxicities of humanized antibodies and antibody-drug conjugates that targets surface antigens as CD33 (gemtuzumab ozogamicine) or CD123 (pivekimab sunirine). We further explore mechanisms and effectiveness of medications that modify the microenvironment, such as glasdegib, or that harness the immune system against leukemia, such as CD47 antibody magrolimab, PD1/PDL1 inhibitors pembrolizumab and nivolumab, TIM3 inhibitor sabatolimab, T-cell and NK-cell engagers. Cellular therapies are considered, even if a large trial is still pending for the feasibility of the approach. In this scenario, a brief overview of the mechanism of action of target agents is provided, particularly with respect to their biological mechanisms.
    Expert opinion: Overall, this therapeutic armamentarium will constitute the basis for multimodal and personalized combinations that, in the idea of precision medicine, will enormously benefit elderly AML patients.
