    Abstract We present an unusual case of a fatal respiratory failure in a young woman developed two weeks after she gave birth at home. Circumstantial and clinical features of the case were strongly suggestive for a 'classical' septic origin of the respiratory symptoms. Autopsy, together with histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses allowed demonstrating a massive calcium redistribution consisting of an important osteolysis, especially from cranial bones and abnormal accumulation in lungs and other organs. Such physiopathology was driven by a primary hyperparathyroidism secondary to a parathyroid carcinoma as demonstrated by immunohistochemistry. This very rare case is furthermore characterised by a regular pregnancy course, ended with the birth of a healthy new-born. A complex interaction between pregnancy physiology and hyperparathyroidism might be hypothesised, determining the discrepancy between the relative long period of wellness and the tumultuous cascade occurred in the puerperium.

    Abstract Introduction: Due to its peculiar anatomy and physiology, the pericardial fluid is a biological matrix of particular interest in the forensic field. Despite this, the available literature has mainly focused on post-mortem biochemistry and forensic toxicology, while to the best of authors' knowledge post-mortem metabolomics has never been applied. Similarly, estimation of the time since death or post-mortem interval based on pericardial fluids has still rarely been attempted.
    Objectives: We applied a metabolomic approach based on
    Methods: Pericardial fluid samples were collected in 24 consecutive judicial autopsies, in a time frame ranging from 16 to 170 h after death. The only exclusion criterion was the quantitative and/or qualitative alteration of the sample. Two different extraction protocols were applied for low molecular weight metabolites selection, namely ultrafiltration and liquid-liquid extraction. Our metabolomic approach was based on the use of
    Results: The pericardial fluid samples treated with the two experimental protocols did not show significant differences in the distribution of the metabolites detected. A post-mortem interval estimation model based on 18 pericardial fluid samples was validated with an independent set of 6 samples, giving a prediction error of 33-34 h depending on the experimental protocol used. By narrowing the window to post-mortem intervals below 100 h, the prediction power of the model was significantly improved with an error of 13-15 h depending on the extraction protocol. Choline, glycine, ethanolamine, and hypoxanthine were the most relevant metabolites in the prediction model.
    Conclusion: The present study, although preliminary, shows that PF samples collected from a real forensic scenario represent a biofluid of interest for post-mortem metabolomics, with particular regard to the estimation of the time since death.

    Abstract Objectives: Claims management is critical to ensure the safe and high-quality medical care for which liability insurers and/or hospitals are responsible. The aim of this research is to determine whether increasing hospital malpractice risk exposure, with increasing deductibles, has an impact on malpractice claims and payouts.
    Methods: The study was conducted at a single tertiary hospital, the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy. Payouts on closed reported and registered claims were analyzed during 4-study periods, which ranged from 1.5 million euro annual aggregate deductibles entirely managed by the insurance company to 5 million euro annual aggregate deductibles entirely managed by the hospital. We retrospectively analyzed 2034 medical malpractice claims submitted between January 1, 2007, and August 31, 2021. Four periods were examined depending on the claims management model adopted, ranging from total outsourcing to the insurer (period A) to an almost total hospital assumption of risk method (period D).
    Results: We found that progressive hospital assumption of risk is associated with a decrease in the incidence of medical malpractice claims (average variation per year: -3.7%; P = 0.0029 if the 2 initial periods and the 2 last periods-characterized by the highest risk retention-are respectively aggregated and compared), an initial decrease in the mean claims cost followed by an increase that is still lower than the national increase (-5.4% on average), and an increase in the total claims cost (when compared with the period where the insurer solely managed claims). We also found that the rate of increase in payouts was less than the national average.
    Conclusions: The assumption of more malpractice risk by the hospital was associated with the adoption of numerous patient safety and risk management initiatives. The decrease in claims incidence could be due to the implementation of patient safety policies, while the cost increase could be attributed to inflation and rising costs of healthcare services and claims. Notably, only the hospital assumption of risk model with a high-deductible insurance coverage is sustainable for the studied hospital, while also being profitable for the insurer. In conclusion, as hospitals progressively assumed more risk and management responsibility of malpractice claims, there was a progressive decrease in the total number of claims, and a less rapid rise in claim payouts as compared with the national average. Even a small assumption of risk appeared to elicit meaningful changes in claim filings and payouts.

    Abstract Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the visual cortex can induce phosphenes as participants look at a visual target. So can non-diagnostic ultrasound (nDU), delivered in a transcranial fashion, while participants have closed their eyes during stimulation. Here, we sought to determine if DU, aimed at the visual cortex, could alter the perception of a visual target. We applied a randomized series of actual or sham DU, transcranially and towards the visual cortex of healthy participants while they stared at a visual target (a white crosshair on a light-blue background), with the ultrasound device placed where TMS elicited phosphenes. These participants observed percepts seven out of ten times, which consisted of extra or extensions of lines relative to the original crosshair, and additional colors, an average of 53.7 ± 2.6% of the time over the course of the experiment. Seven out of ten different participants exposed to
