    Abstract Dear Editor, The sudden and unexpected loss of an infant in the first months of life is a heartbreaking and devastating experience for any parent. Understandably, it can be an extremely distressing time for the mother, who may often find herself unfairly burdened with guilt. When this tragic event occurs, a thorough investigation becomes necessary to determine the cause of death and also absolve the mother of any responsibility. [.]

    Abstract Like all RNA viruses, SARS-CoV-2 shows a high mutation rate, which has led to the emergence of new variants. Among them, Gamma and Delta developed at the turn of 2020–2021 in Amazonas and India, two ecoregions characterized by hot-humid weather, very similar to that of the summer season in Italy due to climate change, the first Western country to be hit hard by COVID-19 and to experience lockdown restrictions in a democratic framework of 58.85 million people. The aim of our research has been to evaluate the impact of climate on the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy during the summers of 2020 (before mass vaccination), 2021 (after primary mass vaccination) and 2022 (after booster mass vaccination), also taking into account the emergence of these two variants. Methods: During the state of national health emergency and the Draghi government, the Civil Defense Department released the aggregate data coming from the Ministry of Health, the Higher Institute of Health, the Independent Provinces and the Italian Regions daily, in order to inform about the pandemic situation in Italy. Among these data there were the number of deaths, hospitalizations in intensive care units (ICU), non-ICU patients, contagions and performed swabs. By means of a team effort, we have collected and elaborated all these data, comparing the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy during the summers of 2020 (following the nationwide lockdown), 2021 and 2022. Results: from the summer of 2020 to the summers of 2021 and 2022 all pandemic trend indicators have shown a sharp worsening in Italy. COVID-19 deaths increased by ≈298% and ≈834%, ICU hospitalizations by ≈386% and ≈310%, non-ICU hospitalizations by ≈224% and ≈600%, contagions by ≈627% and ≈6850% (i.e., ≈68.50 times), swabs by ≈354% and ≈370%, and the mean positivity rate passed from ≈1% to ≈2% and ≈20%, respectively. Conclusions: SARS-CoV-2 can be transmitted in any climate, including areas with hot and humid weather, and the emergence of variants adapted to hot-humid climates may result in summer COVID-19 ...

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the most dramatic pandemic of the new millennium; to counteract it, specific vaccines have been launched in record time under emergency use authorization or conditional marketing authorization by virtue of a favorable risk/benefit balance. Among the various technological platforms, there is that exploiting a nucleoside-modified messenger RNA (modRNA), such as Comirnaty ® , and that which is adenoviral vector-based. In the ongoing pharmacovigilance, the product information of the latter has been updated about the risk of thrombotic thrombocytopenia, venous thromboembolism without thrombocytopenia and immune thrombocytopenia without thrombosis. However, from an in-depth literature review, the same adverse events can rarely occur with modRNA vaccines too. In support of this, we here report a three-case series of thrombotic deaths in patients over 50 with comorbidities temporally after Comirnaty ® , investigated by means of post-mortem histopathology and immunohistochemistry. In two out of three cases, the cause of death is traced back to pulmonary microthromboses rich in activated platelets, quite similar morphologically to those described in patients who died from severe COVID-19. Even if remote in the face of millions of administered doses, clinicians should be aware of the possible thrombotic risk also after Comirnaty ® , in order to avoid a misdiagnosis with potentially lethal consequences. Since COVID-19 vaccines are inoculated in subjects to be protected, maximum attention must be paid to their safety, and prophylactic measures to increase it are always welcome. In light of the evidence, the product information of modRNA COVID-19 vaccines should be updated about the thrombotic risk, as happened for adenoviral vector-based vaccines.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the most dramatic pandemic of the new millennium. To counter it, specific vaccines have been launched in record time under emergency use authorization or conditional marketing authorization and have been subjected to additional monitoring. The European Medicines Agency recommend reporting any suspected adverse reactions during this additional monitoring phase. For the first time in the available medical literature, we report a left cubital tunnel syndrome in a 28-year-old right-handed healthy male after seven days from the first dose of Spikevax ® (formerly Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine). Histochemistry for Alcian Blue performed on the tissue harvested from the cubital site reveals myxoid degeneration of the small nerve collaterals, a clear sign of nerve injury. It still remains unclear why the syndrome occurs in a localized and not generalized form to all osteofibrous tunnels. Today, modified messenger ribonucleic acid vaccines as Spikevax ® represent an avantgarde technological platform with a lot of potential, but one which needs careful monitoring in order to identify in advance those patients who may experience adverse events after their administration.

    Abstract Objective: Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a neuropsychiatric syndrome caused by liver failure and by an impaired neurotransmission and neurological function caused by hyperammonemia (HA). HE, in turn, decreases the phosphorylation of protein kinase C epsilon (PKCε), contributing to the impairment of neuronal functions. Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) exerts a neuroprotective effect by increasing the GABAergic tone through GABAA receptor stimulation. Therefore, we investigated the protective effect of DHEA in an animal model of HE, and the possible modulation of PKCε expression in different brain area.Methods: Fulminant hepatic failure was induced in 18 male, Sprague–Dawley rats by i.p. administration of 3 g/kg D-galactosamine, and after 30 min, a group of animals received a subcutaneous injection of 25 mg/kg (DHEA) repeated twice a day (3 days). Exploratory behavior and general activity were evaluated 24 h and 48 h after the treatments by the open field test. Then, brain cortex and cerebellum were used for immunoblotting analysis of PKCε level.Results: DHEA administration showed a significant improvement of locomotor activity both 24 and 48 h after D-galactosamine treatment (****p < 0.0001) but did not ameliorate liver parenchymal degeneration. Western blot analysis revealed a reduced immunoreactivity of PKCε (*p < 0.05) following D-galactosamine treatment in rat cortex and cerebellum. After the addition of DHEA, PKCε increased in the cortex in comparison with the D-galactosamine-treated (***p < 0.001) and control group (*p < 0.05), but decreased in the cerebellum (*p < 0.05) with respect to the control group. PKCε decreased after treatment with NH4Cl alone and in combination with DHEA in both cerebellum and cortex (****p < 0.0001). MTS assay demonstrated the synergistic neurotoxic action of NH4Cl and glutamate pretreatment in cerebellum and cortex along with an increased cell survival after DHEA pretreatment, which was significant only in the cerebellum (*p < 0.05).Conclusion: An association ...
