    Abstract Car pooling is expected to significantly help in reducing traffic congestion and pollution in cities by enabling drivers to share their cars with travellers with similar itineraries and time schedules. A number of car pooling matching services have been designed in order to efficiently find successful ride matches in a given pool of drivers and potential passengers. However, it is now recognised that many non-monetary aspects and social considerations, besides simple mobility needs, may influence the individual willingness of sharing a ride, which are difficult to predict. To address this problem, in this study we propose GoTogether, a recommender system for car pooling services that leverages on learning-to-rank techniques to automatically derive the personalised ranking model of each user from the history of her choices (i.e., the type of accepted or rejected shared rides). Then, GoTogether builds the list of recommended rides in order to maximise the success rate of the offered matches. To test the performance of our scheme we use real data from Twitter and Foursquare sources in order to generate a dataset of plausible mobility patterns and ride requests in a metropolitan area. The results show that the proposed solution quickly obtain an accurate prediction of the personalised user's choice model both in static and dynamic conditions.

    Abstract The incidence of long COVID in a cohort of patients with cancer with or without previous treatment with early therapies anti-SARS-CoV-2 in an out-of-hospital setting have to be elucidated. We prospectively enrolled all patients treated for a solid tumor at the department of Medical Oncology of the Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo with a positive SARS-CoV-2 antigen or polymerase chain reaction test from January to September 2022 (Omicron surge). Ninety-seven patients answered the survey questions by telephone at least 12 weeks after COVID-19 diagnosis in order to evaluate the incidence of long COVID symptoms. Only twelve patients (12.4%) reported long COVID. No significant difference between early therapies anti-SARS-CoV-2 31 and long COVID (

    Abstract Intravenous drug users (IVDUs) face heightened susceptibility to life-threatening gram-positive bacterial infections, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). While the standard antibiotic dosing strategies for special patients, such as obese or critically ill individuals, are known to be inadequate, raising concerns about treatment efficacy, a similar sort of understanding has not been assessed for IVDUs yet. With this in mind, this review examines the pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic characteristics of antibiotics commonly used against gram-positive bacteria in IVDUs. Focusing on daptomycin, vancomycin, teicoplanin, aminoglycosides, and the novel lipoglycopeptide dalbavancin, the study reveals significant pharmacokinetic variations in IVDUs, suggesting the need for personalized dosing. Concomitant opioid substitution therapy and other factors, such as malnutrition, contribute to altered pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics, emphasizing the importance of targeted therapeutic drug monitoring. Overall, our study calls for increased awareness among clinicians regarding the unique pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic challenges in IVDUs and advocates for tailored antibiotic dosing strategies to enhance treatment outcomes in this marginalized population.

    Abstract Background: The aim of our survey was to analyze the current attitudes toward antimicrobial prophylaxis in heart transplanting centers worldwide.
    Methods: The survey was composed of a total of 50 questions, it consisted of four different sections as follows. The first section collected physicians' personal data and centers' general characteristics, second assessed the approach to patients colonized with multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), while the third consisted of the infection risk related to cardiovascular devices, and antimicrobial treatment data, the last focused on donor's colonization.
    Results: A total of 56 answers from 26 different countries were collected, mostly from Europe (n = 30) and the USA (n = 16). A first-generation cephalosporin (58.9%) or a combination therapy with vancomycin (10.7%) were the most frequently prescribed antimicrobial prophylaxis. Roughly 30% of the centers used different antimicrobial prophylaxis,mostly including Gram negative bacteria coverage. The frequency of screening for multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria was higher in Europe, where the percentage of centers providing screening for extended spectrum beta-lactamase (46.7%) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) (53.3%) was higher than in other geographic area (p = .019; p = .013, respectively).
    Conclusion: This survey highlights a heterogeneity of clinical practice concerning antimicrobial prophylaxis at transplant. The concern for potential Gram-negative bacteria infection was responsible for broader antimicrobial coverage in 30% of centers.

    Title translation Infections and antimicrobial stewardship in cirrhotic patients.
    Abstract The aim of this review is to focus on the recent knowledge on antibiotic stewardship and empiric antibiotic treatment in cirrhotic patients. The application of antimicrobial stewardship (AS) rules appears to be the most appropriate strategy to globally manage cirrhotic patients with infectious complications: indeed they represent a unique way to provide both early diagnosis and appropriate therapy in order to avoid not only antibiotic over-prescription but, more importantly, selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance. Moreover, cirrhotic patients must be considered "frail" and susceptible to healthcare associated infections: applying AS policies would assure a cost reduction and thus contribute to the improvement of public health strategies.
