    Abstract Families in Ireland often wait over 1 year to see a genetic counselor (GC). This qualitative study aimed to explore the views of families who received a diagnosis of 22q11DS in Ireland regarding the need for timely access to genetic counseling at the point of diagnosis. Twenty participants were recruited through the '22q Ireland' support group, giving a response rate of approximately 10% of the total support group members. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online and by telephone which explored experiences of receiving diagnoses, medical care, genetic counseling, mental health, and coping with the diagnosis. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using thematic analysis. The experiences of 20 participants were classified into five main themes: Receiving Diagnosis, Interactions with Healthcare Professionals (HCPs, excluding GCs), Medical Care, Information, and Impact of Condition. Participants reported receiving diagnoses for their children in a sub-optimal manner due to inappropriate settings and insufficient information, support, and pre-test counseling. Parents reported feeling responsible for managing their child's complex and fragmented medical care. Participants reported insufficient empathy and little awareness of 22q11DS among HCPs. Participants perceived genetic counseling to be associated with family planning and reported delayed, if any, access to services. Mental health was a particular worry among participants. Conferences about 22q11DS are the main source of information for parents. Participants reported a range of emotions after diagnosis and described the family impact. The findings suggest both an association between HCPs' poor understanding of 22q11DS and the perceived lack of empathy from HCPs and fragmented medical care. There is an identified need for advocacy of the GC profession in Ireland to support these families. Increased awareness of 22q11DS among HCPs and the development of a coordinated care pathway for 22q11DS, with timely access to genetic counseling, may improve care and lead to better outcomes.

    Abstract An efficient host immune response is crucial in controlling viral infections. Despite most studies focused on the implication of T and B cell response in COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-19) patients or in their activation after vaccination against SARS-CoV-2, host innate immune response has raised even more interest as well. In fact, innate immunity, including Natural Killer (NK) cells, monocytes/macrophages and neutrophils, represent the first line of defense against the virus and it is essential to determine the correct activation of an efficient and specific acquired immune response. In this perspective, we will report an overview on the main findings concerning SARS-CoV-2 interaction with innate host immune system, in correlation with pathogenesis and viral immune escape mechanisms.

    Abstract Human herpesviruses 6A (HHV-6A) and human herpesvirus 6B (HHV-6B)-collectively, HHV-6A/B-are recently-discovered but ancient human viruses. The vast majority of people acquire one or both viruses, typically very early in life, producing an ineradicable lifelong infection. The viruses have been linked to several neurological, pulmonary and hematological diseases. In early human history, the viruses on multiple occasions infected a germ cell, and integrated their DNA into a human chromosome. As a result, about 1% of humans are born with the full viral genome present in every cell, with uncertain consequences for health. HHV-6A may play a role in 43% of cases of primary unexplained infertility. Both the inherited and acquired viruses may occasionally trigger several of the factors that are important in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Transplacental infection occurs in 1-2% of pregnancies, with some evidence suggesting adverse health consequences for the child. While emerging knowledge about these viruses in reproductive diseases is not sufficient to suggest any changes in current practice, we write this review to indicate the need for further research that could prove practice-changing.

    Abstract Background: Moxifloxacin is a bactericidal methoxyquinolone used for the treatment of conjunctivitis and prophylactic therapy in cataract and refractive surgeries. Chloramphenicol is a bacteriostatic organochlorine introduced into clinical practice in 1948 and used mainly in topical preparations because of its known toxicity.
    Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial effect and the ocular cytotoxicity of these broad-spectrum antibiotics.
    Methods: Antimicrobic activity was tested on 4 bacteria strains (
    Results: Cytotoxicity of antibiotics was evaluated on human epithelial corneal cells after 4 hours treatment by viability assay. Results showed that corneal cell viability was significantly higher after moxifloxacin treatment compared with chloramphenicol (
    Conclusions: The lower corneal cell toxicity and the broader spectrum of antibacterial activity observed with moxifloxacin suggests its use in ophthalmic solution for the treatment of bacterial eye infections.

    Abstract (1) Background: Otitis externa (OE) is a common inflammatory disease of the external ear canal. Given the numerous manifestations of OE, the high rate of recurrence of the disease, as well as the emergence of resistance to antibiotics, therapeutic strategies are numerous and still not well standardized. The aim of this study was to investigate the patient journey of Italian patients suffering from OE, paying greater attention to new therapeutic options. (2) Methods: We conducted a national survey to evaluate the characteristics of patients affected by OE and to analyze the most-prescribed treatments. (3) Results: OE is a common, often relapsing disease that has several clinical manifestations. Prior to observation, the combination of corticosteroids and topical antibiotics was the most common therapeutic strategy. At the time of observation, new liposomal ozone-based preparations were the most-prescribed treatment. (4) Conclusions: This multi-center study investigated key aspects of the OE patient journey, highlighting the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. Restoring a correct ear microbiome is the therapeutic goal. In this context, new liposomal ozone-based drugs represent a promising therapeutic strategy.
