    Abstract Introduction: Up to one-third of ischemic strokes remained cryptogenic despite extensive investigations. Atrial fibrillation may be detected in a significant proportion of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source, particularly after the introduction of implantable loop recorder in clinical practice.
    Methods: We retrospectively included all the consecutive patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source referred to our units in the period November 2013 to December 2018 and in which an implantable loop recorder was positioned within 6 months from stroke event. Prevalence and predictors of atrial fibrillation were investigated.
    Results: One hundred thirty-eight patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source fulfilling inclusion criteria were identified. The crude prevalence of atrial fibrillation at the end of observation period was of 45.7%. Incidence rates at 6, 12, 18, 24, and 36 months resulted, respectively, 31.8% (95% CI, 30.4-46.7), 38.0% (95% CI, 30.4-46.9), 42.6% (95% CI, 34.5-51.6), 46.6% (95% CI, 38.2-55.8), and 50.4% (95% CI, 41.6-59.9). On multivariate analysis, only excessive supraventricular electric activity and left atrial enlargement resulted to be significant predictors of atrial fibrillation (p = 0.037 and p < 0.0001, respectively).
    Conclusions: Atrial fibrillation may be detected in a relevant proportion (up to 50%) of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source if a careful and extensive diagnostic work-up is employed. Excessive supraventricular electric activity and left atrial enlargement are significant predictors of the occurrence of atrial fibrillation in these patients.

    Abstract Genetic polymorphisms influencing muscle structure and metabolism may affect the phenotype of metabolic myopathies. We here analyze the possible influence of a wide panel of "exercise genes" on the severity and progression of respiratory dysfunction in late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD). We stratified patients with comparable age and disease duration according to the severity of their respiratory phenotype, assessed by both upright FVC% and postural drop in FVC%. We included 43 patients with LOPD (25 males, age 50.8 ± 13.6 yr) with a 2-yr follow-up since the beginning of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Twenty-two patients showed a postural drop >25% T0, seven other patients developed it during the follow-up. We analyzed the relationship between the progression of respiratory dysfunction and genetic polymorphisms affecting muscle function and structure [angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), α-actinin 3 (ACTN3), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPR-α), angiotensin (AGT)], glycogen metabolism [glycogen synthase (GYS), glycogen synthase kinase-3 isoform β (GSK3β)], and autophagy [sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), autophagy-related gene 7 (ATG7)]. Individuals carrying two copies of the ACE D-allele shared a 24-fold increase in the risk of severe respiratory dysfunction and progression during the 2-yr follow-up. ACTN3-XX polymorphism was also associated with worse respiratory outcome. The study of exercise genes is of particular interest in respiratory muscles, due to their peculiar features, that is, continuous, low-intensity contraction and prominent recruitment of type I fibers. In line with previous observations on skeletal muscles, ACE-DD and ACTN3-XX genotypes were associated with indirect evidence of more severe respiratory phenotypes. On the contrary, polymorphisms related to autophagy and glycogen metabolism did not seem to influence respiratory muscles.

    Abstract Background: This study analyzed the presence of awareness of movement disorders (dyskinesias and hypokinesias) in 25 patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and motor fluctuations (dyskinesias, wearing off, on-off fluctuations). Of the few studies that have dealt with this topic, none have analyzed the differences in the awareness of motor deficits by comparing the on and off states using motor scales and an extensive battery of tests to assess cognitive and behavioral functioning.
    Methods: PD patients were compared on three different scales that we have devised to measure awareness of movement disorders: Global Awareness of Movement (GAM) Disorders, dyskinesia/hypo-bradykinesia rating scales.
    Results: Data showed that PD patients had greater awareness and psychological suffering in the off state than in the on state. In particular, they were troubled by motor disabilities related to hypokinesias and had mood-related symptoms and a perception of disability in activities of daily living. Interestingly, patients only showed a selective reduction of awareness of movement disorders associated with executive functions and related to dyskinesias in the on state, compared to a preserved awareness of hypokinesias in the off state. On the contrary, no association with executive functions was found in the off state.
    Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the dopaminergic overstimulation of mesocorticolimbic pathways may cause a dysfunction of prefrontal-subcortical connections related to the impaired insight.

    Abstract A liquid chromatographic method has been applied for the analysis of two antibiotics widely used in the veterinary field, oxytetracycline dihydrate and chlortetracycline hydrochloride in premixes for medicated feeding stuffs for veterinary use. In particular, the validated method was employed to study the releasing profile of each drug from two formulations, a commercially available and a new formulation, having different excipient composition. The dissolution profiles obtained from the chromatographic analysis allowed to verify the in vitro bio-equivalence of the commercial and the new formulations for oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline.

    Abstract Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare aggressive disease of early childhood. Driver mutations in the Ras signaling pathways are a key feature of JMML patients. Mutations in SETBP1 and JAK3 were recently identified in a subset of JMML patients characterized by poor prognosis and progression of disease. In this study, we report the results of a screening for mutations in SETBP1 and JAK3 of a cohort of seventy Italian patients with JMML, identifying 11.4% of them harboring secondary mutations in these two genes and discovering two new mutations in the SKI domain of SETBP1.JMML xenotransplantation and colony assay provide an initial understanding of the secondary nature of these events occurring in early precursor cells and suggest a different propagating capacity of clones harboring particular mutations.
