Abstract	Three searches for direct top squark pair production are presented. They target different decay modes, each with two leptons (electrons or muons) in the final state. The searches use 20.3 fb−1of pp collision data at √s = 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. No excesses over Standard Model expectations are observed, and the results are interpreted under the separate assumptions that the light top squark decays to a b-quark and the lightest chargino, or to a t-quark and the lightest neutralino.

Abstract	In these days of 2020, tests for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2, and their use in the context of health surveillance of workers, are becoming popular. Nevertheless, their sensitivity and specificity could vary on the basis of the type of test used and on the moment of infection of the subject tested. The aim of this viewpoint paper is to make employers, workers, occupational physicians, and public health specialists think about the limits of diagnostic tests currently available, and the possible implication related to the erroneous and incautious assignment of "immunity passports" or "risk-free certificates" to workers during screening campaigns in workplaces.

Abstract	Breast cancer is one of the most common diseases worldwide, mainly affecting the female gender. Considering the increase of breast cancer incidence and the decrease of mortality due to news diagnostic and therapeutic tools, the return to work issue after treatment is going to be very common in the next years. Occupational physicians therefore need to face the return to work and the fitness for work of workers previously diagnosed with breast cancer with a sufficient cultural and technical background. In addition to individual characteristics preceding the diagnosis, clinical outcome, lifestyles and occupational variables are the most impactful factors on return to work that need to be taken into account. The aim of this work is to analyze these factors and discuss the central role of occupational physicians in the decision-making process of returning to work in breast cancer survivors.

Abstract	An increasing number of pathologies correlates with both toxic and essential metal ions dyshomeostasis. Next to known genetic disorders (e.g., Wilson's Disease and β-Thalassemia) other pathological states such as neurodegeneration and diabetes are characterized by an imbalance of essential metal ions. Metal ions can enter the human body from the surrounding environment in the form of free metal ions or metal-nanoparticles, and successively translocate to different tissues, where they are accumulated and develop distinct pathologies. There are no characteristic symptoms of metal intoxication, and the exact diagnosis is still difficult. In this review, we present metal-related pathologies with the most common onsets, biomarkers of metal intoxication, and proper techniques of metal qualitative and quantitative analysis. We discuss the possible role of drugs with metal-chelating ability in metal dyshomeostasis, and present recent advances in therapies of metal-related diseases.

Abstract	The causes of the peculiar time trend in the incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in most parts of the world and of its geographic distribution are still unknown. We used the data base of 1974-2003 incident cases of hematological malignancies to explore the time trend of NHL incidence in the region of Sardinia, Italy, and we used Bayesian methods to plot the probability of NHL incidence by residential unit on the regional map. In 1974-2003, 4109 NHL cases were diagnosed among resident adults in Sardinia, with an incidence rate of 13.38 x 10-5 (95% CI 12.97-13.80). NHL incidence showed an upward trend along the study period with an average annual percent change (APC) of 4.94 (95% CI -5.39-16.4), which did not vary by gender or by age-group. Cancer registry data, covering part of the region starting from 1993, suggest that the increasing trend did not persist in the subsequent years. Areas with the highest probability of an excess incidence tended to cluster in the north-eastern part of the region and in two major urban centers, with the low incidence areas located in the south, confirming previous observations. Prevalence of viral infections, environmental and occupational exposures, or socio-economic deprivation would not explain the peculiar geographic distribution we observed. These findings provide convincing arguments for extending the coverage of routine cancer registration over the whole Sardinian population, while prompting further research on the genetic and environmental determinants of NHL in the risk areas.

Abstract	A few studies suggested that female nightshift workers suffer more frequently from sleep deprivation and insomnia. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in two different occupational settings to address gender-related differences in nightshift work adaptation. We used the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaires to quantify daytime sleepiness and sleep quality among 156 workers, 91 from a ceramic tile factory and 65 healthcare workers, including hospital doctors, nurses, and nurse assistants. Seventy-three percent of participants (40 women and 74 men) were engaged in nightshift work. We used logistic regression analysis to predict daytime sleepiness and poor sleep quality as a function of personal and lifestyle variables and nightshift work. The female gender showed a strong association with both daytime sleepiness and poor sleep quality. Results were also suggestive of an increase in the risk of daytime sleepiness associated with nightshift work and being married. Our results confirm that women are especially vulnerable to sleep disruption. Promoting adaptation to nightshift work requires special attention towards gender issues.

Abstract	Background: The evidence linking the use of household pesticides and the risk of lymphoma is scanty. Methods: We explored the hypothesis in a population-based case-control study on lymphoma conducted in Sardinia, Italy, in 1998-2004, including 325 cases and 465 population controls and data on lifetime frequency, seasonality, and years of use of household insecticides and potential confounders. We calculated the risk of lymphoma (all subtypes) and its major subtypes associated with using household insecticides in three time windows (up to 1978, from 1979-2001, and 2002 onwards) with unconditional logistic regression adjusting by age, sex, education, and occupational exposure to pesticides. Results: Household insecticides did not increase risk of lymphoma (all subtypes), Hodgkin's lymphoma, B-cell lymphoma, and the major B-cell lymphoma subtypes. The risk of multiple myeloma (MM) but not the other subtypes showed a non-significant upward trend ( Conclusions: Our results suggest no association between the household use of insecticides and the risk of lymphoma. Further studies are warranted to confirm or discard an association between MM risk and the use of propoxur.

Abstract	The present review focuses on REM sleep without atonia (RSWA) scoring methods. In consideration of the numerous papers published in the last decade, that used different methods for the quantification of RSWA, their systematic revision is an emerging need. We made a search using the PubMed, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science Databases, from 2010 until December 2021, combining the search term "RSWA" with "scoring methods", "IRBD", "alfasyn disease", and "neurodegenerative disease", and with each of the specific sleep disorders, diagnosed according to current criteria, with the identification of the references of interest for the topic. Furthermore, a Meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of RSWA scoring methods, in terms of sensitivity and specificity, was carried out. The comparison of the hierarchical summary receiver-operating characteristic curves obtained for visual methods and that obtained for the automated REM sleep atonia index (RAI), shows substantially similar prediction areas indicating a comparable performance. This systematic review and meta-analysis support the validity of a series of visual methods and of the automated RAI in the quantification of RSWA with the purpose to guide clinicians in the interpretation of their results and their correct and efficient use within the diagnostic work-up for REM sleep behavior disorder.

Abstract	Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the third generation quarks with masses not too far from those of their Standard Model counterparts. Top or bottom scalar quarks (or squarks) with masses less than a few hundred GeV can give rise to direct pair production rates at the LHC that can be observed in the data sample recorded by the ATLAS detector. This proceeding summarises the latest results of a search for top squark pair production in final states with one isolated lepton, jets, and missing transverse momentum in √s = 8 TeV pp collisions at the LHC, using 20.7 fb−1 of ATLAS data. Two top squark (t˜$\tilde t$) decay scenarios are considered: the decay to a top quark and a stable undetected neutral particle (χ˜0${\tilde \chi ^0}$), and the decay to a bottom quark and a chargino, where the chargino decays via an on- or off-shell W boson to the χ˜0${\tilde \chi ^0}$. The data are found to be consistent with Standard Model expectations and have been reinterpreted in terms of various SUSY scenarios.
