    Abstract Multidimensional optical spectroscopies are powerful techniques to investigate energy transfer pathways in natural and artificial systems. Because of the high information content of the spectra, numerical simulations of the optical response are of primary importance to assist the interpretation of spectral features. However, the increasing complexity of the investigated systems and their quantum dynamics call for the development of novel simulation strategies. In this work, we consider using digital quantum computers. By combining quantum dynamical simulation and nonlinear response theory, we present a quantum algorithm for computing the optical response of molecular systems. The quantum advantage stems from the efficient quantum simulation of the dynamics governed by the molecular Hamiltonian, and it is demonstrated by explicitly considering exciton-vibrational coupling. The protocol is tested on a near-term quantum device, providing the digital quantum simulation of the linear and nonlinear response of simple molecular models.

    Abstract Action-detection has expanded the scope and applicability of 2D electronic spectroscopy, while posing new challenges for the unambiguous interpretation of spectral features. In this context, identifying the origin of cross-peaks at early waiting times is not trivial, and incoherent mixing is often invoked as an unwanted contribution masking the nonlinear signal. In this work, we elaborate on the relation between the nonlinear response and the incoherent mixing contribution by analyzing the action signal in terms of one- and two-particle observables. Considering a weakly interacting molecular dimer, we show how cross-peaks at early waiting times, reflecting exciton-exciton annihilation dynamics, can be equivalently interpreted as arising from incoherent mixing. This equivalence, on the one hand, highlights the information content of spectral features related to incoherent mixing and, on the other hand, provides an efficient numerical scheme to simulate the action response of weakly interacting systems.

    Abstract Action-2D electronic spectroscopy is emerging as a powerful technique to investigate exciton dynamics in molecular aggregates and nanostructures. While maintaining the power of highlighting coherent evolution between the laser pulses, action detection is based on measuring the incoherent signal proportional to the excited-state populations generated by an additional laser pulse. Numerical simulations of the action signal play a crucial role in aiding the interpretation of the spectral features, which may differ from those of the analog coherent technique in a non-trivial way. We present a numerical investigation of the action response of a model of quantum dot as a case study to unravel the exciton and biexciton contributions in the 2D-spectra of nanostructures. The simulation protocol is based on a non-perturbative treatment of the light-matter interaction by solving the Lindblad quantum master equation and the different contributions to the non-linear response are disentangled using a phase-modulation scheme. We analyze how the relative weights of the exciton and biexciton signals determine the lineshape of the spectrum, how they depend upon the physical nature of the detected signal,

    Abstract Objective: Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided FNB was not demonstrated to be better than EUS fine-needle aspiration (FNA) to obtain adequate samples for diagnosis of pancreatic tumors. We report our experience using a 22-gauge needle aspiration to obtain both cytologic and histologic samples.
    Patients and methods: In a total of 232 patients (51% men), 22-gauge needles (Cook Medical) were used to obtain a cytological sample (between 2008 and 2016, Cohort A) and a cytologic and a histologic sample (between 2016 and 2019, Cohort B) to evaluate the usability of this needle to collect material for cytologic and histologic examination. MOSE was used.
    Results: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma was diagnosed in 76/113 (68%) patients in Cohort A and in 88/119 (74%) in Cohort B. Non-diagnostic sampling occurred in 30/113 (26%) patients in Cohort A and in 25/119 (21%) in Cohort B. The median number of passages was three in both cohorts. Lesions were in the head/uncinated process 57% vs. 51% and body/tail 43% vs. 49% in Cohorts A and B, respectively; the mean tumor size was 34.5 mm (SD 10.7) in Cohort A and 35.4 mm (SD 14.7) in Cohort B.
    Conclusions: FNA needle (22-gauge) with adequate passes, MOSE determination and adequate processing of specimens, provided FNA and FNB specimen collection.

    Abstract Isolated endobronchial tumors of the left main bronchus are quite rare. They are treated by surgical resection, preferably using lung-sparing techniques, when possible. These procedures are technically challenging and are usually performed through a standard thoracotomy.  This video tutorial shows a left main bronchus sleeve resection with distal lobar carina reconstruction, performed through a uniportal thoracoscopic approach, for a typical carcinoid tumor of the distal left main bronchus.

    Abstract Background: Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has significantly prolonged survival of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, although most patients develop mechanisms of resistance. Recently single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) revealed a huge T-cell phenotypic and (dys)functional state variability. Accordingly, T-cell exhaustion is recognized as a functional adaptation, with a dynamic progression from a long-lived "pre-exhausted stem-like progenitor" to a "terminally exhausted" state. In this scenario it is crucial to understand the complex interplay between co-stimulatory and inhibitory molecules in CD8
    Methods: To gain a baseline landscape of the composition, functional states, and transcriptomic signatures predictive of prognosis, we analyzed CD8
    Results: Despite the increased PD1 levels, an improved PD1
    Conclusions: Our findings identify signatures able to stratify survival of LUAD patients and predict ICB response in advanced NSCLC. CD28 is advocated as a key determinant in the signatures identified, in both periphery and tumor site, thus likely providing feasible biomarkers of ICB response.

    Abstract Background: The prognostic difference among patients affected by NSCLC with hilar metastases only or mediastinal nodes metastases without hilar involvement (skip metastases) is still unclear. Aim of this study is to analyse if prognostic difference are present or if the two groups present the same survival outcome.
    Materials and methods: Data on NSCLC patients from 7 high volume centres (2004-2014) were collected and retrospectively reviewed. Histology different from adenocarcinoma(ADC) or squamous cell carcinoma(SCC), patients without data on lymphadenectomy, who underwent neoadjuvant treatment, with distant metastases or incomplete resection were excluded, selecting patients with hilar involvement or with skip metastases. Different prognostic factors such as Tstage, histology, pathological stage, nodal characteristics and adjuvant therapy administration were correlated to overall survival (OS) by the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. The log-rank test was used to assess differences between subgroups. A multivariable Cox proportional hazard model was developed using stepwise regression to compare the prognostic power of different factors.
    Results: The final analysis was conducted on 480 adenocarcinoma/squamous cell carcinoma patients. Five-year OS (5YOS) resulted 53.9%. No significant differences in OS were detected comparing pN1 vs. pN2 patients or stage IIB vs. stage IIIA-B patients. Univariable confirmed as favourable prognostic factors young age (P<.001), T1-2 tumors (P=.030), number of resected nodes≥10 (P=.040), lymph node ratio (P=.026). Multivariable analysis confirmed as independent negative prognostic factors T≥3 (HR:1.385, 95%CI:1.037-1.851, P=.027) and age≥68 years (HR1.637, 95%CI:1.245-2.152).
    Conclusion: Patients with N1 involvement or skip metastases present a similar prognosis, suggesting that N2 involvement in these cases may be related to a direct lymphatic drainage to the mediastinal stations.
