Abstract	With the constant evolution in the role of endoscopy in middle ear surgery, this article presents a technical note on the transcanal endoscopic approach to resection of a cholesteatoma limited to the posterior mesotympanum. We believe that this technique provides a suitable, minimal-invasive alternative to the classic microscopic transmastoid approach.

Abstract	Previous evidence showed significant discrepancies in psychiatric services utilization between migrants and reference populations. Our study aims were to evaluate incidence and characteristics of psychiatric hospitalizations of migrant patients compared with reference populations and to assess how the COVID-19 pandemic affected admissions. All patients admitted to the psychiatric ward "SPDC-Malpighi" of the Bologna Mental Health Department from 01/01/2018 to 31/12/2020 were included. Differences in sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were tested by migrant status. Incidence rate ratios of hospital admissions by migrant status were estimated via Poisson regression considering population-at-risk, gender, and age-group. Migrants had higher hospitalization rates due to any psychiatric disorder (IRR = 1.16). The risk was especially pronounced among women (IRR = 1.25) and within the youngest age-group (IRR = 3.24). Young migrants had also a greater risk of compulsory admission (IRR = 3.77). Regarding admissions due to a specific diagnosis, we found relevant differences in hospitalization rates for psychosis, mood disorders, and personality disorders. Finally, migrants were more likely to be admitted via Emergency Department and less likely to be referred from a specialist. During the year of pandemic (2020) we observed an increase in the proportion of migrants admitted voluntarily or compulsorily. Migrants, especially those from the youngest age-group, had higher hospitalization rates for any disorder. Younger migrants were also at higher risk of compulsory treatment. The distribution of psychiatric admissions during the pandemic period seemed to have further increased discrepancies in mental healthcare needs and provision between migrants and the reference population. Tailored interventions and policies are urgently needed to address this issue.

Abstract	Venous thromboembolism (VTE) constitutes a serious and potentially fatal disease, often complicated by pulmonary embolism and is associated with inherited or acquired factors risk. A series of risk factors are known to predispose to venous thrombosis, and these include mutations in the genes that encode anticoagulant proteins as antithrombin, protein C and protein S, and variants in genes that encode instead pro-coagulant factors as factor V (FV Leiden) and factor II (FII G20210A). However, the molecular causes responsible for thrombotic events in some individuals with evident inherited thrombosis remain unknown. An improved knowledge of risk factors, as well as a clear understanding of their role in the pathophysiology of VTE, are crucial to achieve a better identification of patients at higher risk. Moreover, the identification of genes with rare variants but a large effect size may pave the way for studies addressing new antithrombotic agents in order to improve the management of VTE patients. Over the past 20 years, qualitative or quantitative genetic risk factors such as inhibitor proteins of the hemostasis and of the fibrinolytic system, including fibrinogen, thrombomodulin, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and elevated concentrations of factors II, FV, VIII, IX, XI, have been associated with thrombotic events, often with conflicting results. The aim of this review is to evaluate available data in literature on these genetic variations to give a contribution to our understanding of the complex molecular mechanisms involved in physiologic and pathophysiologic clot formation and their role in clinical practice.

Abstract	The pathogenesis of migraine, as well as cluster headache (CH), is yet a debated question. In this review, we discuss the possible role of tyrosine and tryptophan metabolism in the pathogenesis of primary headaches, including the abnormalities in the synthesis of neurotransmitters. High level of dopamine, low level of norepinephrine, and very elevated levels of octopamine and synephrine were found in the plasma of episodic migraine without aura. We hypothesize that the imbalance between the levels of neurotransmitters and elusive amines synthesis is due to a metabolic shift directing tyrosine toward increased decarboxylase and reduced hydroxylase enzyme activities, favored by a state of neuronal hyperexcitability and a reduced mitochondrial activity. In addition, we present biochemical studies performed in chronic migraine (CM) and chronic tension-type headache patients (CTTH) to verify if the same anomalies are present in these primary headaches and, if so, their possible role in the chronicity process of CM and CTTH. The results show that important abnormalities of tyrosine-related metabolites are present only in CM patients while tryptamine plasma levels were found significantly lower in both CM and CTTH patients. Because of this, we propose that migraine and, possibly, CH attacks derive from neurotransmitter and neuromodulator metabolic abnormalities in a hyperexcitable and hypoenergetic brain that spread from the frontal lobe, downstream, resulting in abnormally activated nuclei of the pain matrix. The low tryptamine plasma levels found in CM and CTTH patients suggest that these two primary chronic headaches are characterized by a common insufficient serotoninergic control of the pain threshold.

Abstract	Objectives: Tinnitus can induce disabling psychological suffering, requiring an integrative multimodal approach, combining neuromodulation and psychotherapeutic methods. We sought to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and acceptability of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in tinnitus. Materials and methods: This was a single-center prospective non-comparative study. Inclusion criteria comprised: adult patient, with chronic tinnitus, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) score>17, causing psychological distress motivating active treatment after ineffective "classic" treatment (combining advice, sound therapy and first-line drug treatment), and agreement to EMDR therapy. Therapeutic efficacy was defined by a decrease in THI or Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores. Treatment acceptability was defined by the rate of included patients who completed therapy. Results: Thirty-eight patients were included. There was a significant reduction of 53.5% in THI score in 78.9% of patients (P<0.0001; 64.8±20.8 before versus 31.8±24.7 after treatment), and of 51% in VAS score in 76.3% of patients (P<0.0001; 7.24±2.12 before versus 3.58±2.03 after treatment). The treatment acceptability was 86.8%. Conclusion: EMDR appeared to be an effective alternative that was acceptable to the majority of patients, after failure of "classic" first-line treatment, improving quality of life in tinnitus patients and thus relieving disability.

Abstract	Hippocrates, a Greek physician during the fifth century BC., is often considered the father of medicine. The Corpus Hippocraticum comprising of 58 volumes was writing between 450 and 150 BC. The objective of our study was to detail the management of nasal polyps during this period. We read and analyzed all volumes of the Corpus Hippocraticum in French translation and extracted all passages dealing with nasal polyps (n = 6). Surgical procedures in the Corpus Hippocraticum are described in great detail. The first surgical strategy for the removal of nasal polyps was by mini-invasive nasal approach: the lopping method and the sponge method. We explain the two mini-invasive nasal approaches with drawings. The meticulously detailed observations of the corpus give us a precious insight into the early perception of diseases, their progression and early attempts of treatment.

Abstract	A growing incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has been reported in most developed countries, corresponding mainly to incidentally discovered small papillary thyroid carcinomas. Given the excellent prognosis of most patients with DTC, optimal therapeutic management, minimizing complications, and preserving patient quality of life are essential. Thyroid surgery has a central role in both the diagnosis, staging, and treatment of patients with DTC. Thyroid surgery should be integrated into the global and multidisciplinary management of patients with DTC. However, the optimal surgical management of DTC patients is still controversial. In this review article, we discuss the recent advances and current debates in DTC surgery, including preoperative molecular testing, risk stratification, the extent of thyroid surgery, innovative surgical tools, and new surgical approaches.

Title translation	Special Requests Analysis Committee: a key initiative in the context of health judicialization.
Abstract	Objectives: To describe and analyze the work of a Special Commission, which technically evaluates litigations in a municipality in the regional area of São Paulo, in Brazil. Method: Qualitative study, in which seven semi-structured interviews were carried out following the snowball technique. The discursive data was analyzed taking as reference some elements of the thematic analysis. Results: The members of the Special Commission interviewed, answered questions related to four pre-established thematic axes: the work experience in the judicialization, the health-disease process, the responsibility of the health system regarding the user's well-being, and the right to health. In the first axis, they shared their work routine, exposed the tools they use to issue technical opinions, and recognized the relevance of the Commission to qualify the demands, rationalize public spending and approximate the areas of Health and Law. In the second axis, they highlighted the association between several constraints and determinants to be healthy or to develop a disease. In the third, they emphasized the relevance of integral care to promote well-being and reduce worsening. In the fourth, they affirmed that the right to health is not restricted to access to health care, but to the individual and collective elements that conform people, families and communities, and that the realization of the right to health is not a unilateral process. Conclusion: According to the empirical material, recognizing the different issues, perspectives, conditions and opinions related to the judicialization can help in its global comprehension and offer more just and rational possibilities for the realization of the right to health through the judicial process.
