    Abstract This paper introduces VHR-PRO_IT (Very High-Resolution PROjections for ITaly), an open access hourly climate projection with a resolution of ≃2.2 km (i.e., Convection Permitting Scale) up to 2050, covering the Italian peninsula and some neighbouring areas. VHR-PRO_IT is produced within the Highlander project ( https://highlanderproject.eu/ ) by dynamically downscaling the Italy8km-CM climate projection (spatial resolution ≃8 km; output frequency = 6 h; driven CMIP5 GCM = CMCC-CM) with the Regional Climate Model COSMO-CLM under the IPCC RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. It covers the 60-year period 1989-2050. VHR-PRO_IT is intended for research purposes in the field of climate studies. For example, it may be included in the ongoing activities to clarify the added value of running climate simulation at the convection-permitting scale.

    Abstract Background & aims: Sarcopenia is prevalent in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) on hemodialysis (HD), and is associated with poor outcomes, while obesity may be protective. Sarcopenic obesity is associated with increased frailty, morbidity and mortality in the general population. Myosteatosis, i.e., muscle fat infiltration, has major effects on muscle strength and physical performance, but is poorly investigated in the nephrology setting. In the present study we aimed to assess the association between sarcopenic obesity, as diagnosed by abdominal CT, and mortality. Moreover, the relationship between myosteatosis, sarcopenic obesity and mortality was also investigated.
    Methods: This is a retrospective study in which ESKD patients on HD submitted to unenhanced abdominal CT for clinical reasons at least 6 months after dialysis initiation were evaluated for sarcopenic obesity and myosteatosis, defined as intermuscular fat area and low attenuation muscle area. Sarcopenic obesity was diagnosed in cases of low abdominal skeletal muscle area and high total fat area. Receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) analysis with Youden index was used to determine the cut-off for high total fat area. Intermuscular fat area and low attenuation muscle area were evaluated by applying the Hounsfield unit of interest (-190; -30, and -29; +29 respectively). Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between predictors and mortality risk.
    Results: We enrolled 212 patients, aged 68.8 (±14.7) years, 65.5% (139/212) male. Median follow-up was 19.7 (interquartile range [IQR] 2.7-35) months. Sarcopenic obesity was diagnosed in 19.8% of patients and was associated with increased mortality (HR: 3.29 (1.72; 6.27), P < 0.001), and with the presence of myosteatosis. Both intermuscular fat area and low attenuation muscle area were associated with increased mortality in adjusted analyses.
    Conclusions: Patients with sarcopenic obesity have increased myosteatosis. Sarcopenic obesity and myosteatosis are associated with increased mortality in patients on HD.

    Abstract Recent studies have identified some of the mechanisms responsible for protecting the mammalian embryo against the potentially hostile immunological maternal environment. It is also apparent that these mechanisms vary at different stages of reproduction, from fertilisation to implantation and to full development of the fetus. They are also unique since they vary from species to species and result from exceptional genetic and immunological processes. In this review, a few controversial topics have been selected for discussion. They include the role of suppressive factors and cells, the transfer of immunocompetent cells across the placenta, and claims that habitual recurrent abortion may result from the absence of a maternal immune response.

    Abstract Structural characterization of RNAs is a dynamic field, offering many modelling possibilities. RNA secondary structure models are usually characterized by an encoding that depicts structural information of the molecule through string representations or graphs. In this work, we provide a generalization of the BEAR encoding (a context-aware structural encoding we previously developed) by expanding the set of alignments used for the construction of substitution matrices and then applying it to secondary structure encodings ranging from fine-grained to more coarse-grained representations. We also introduce a re-interpretation of the Shannon Information applied on RNA alignments, proposing a new scoring metric, the Relative Information Gain (RIG). The RIG score is available for any position in an alignment, showing how different levels of detail encoded in the RNA representation can contribute differently to convey structural information. The approaches presented in this study can be used alongside state-of-the-art tools to synergistically gain insights into the structural elements that RNAs and RNA families are composed of. This additional information could potentially contribute to their improvement or increase the degree of confidence in the secondary structure of families and any set of aligned RNAs.
