    Abstract High-grade gliomas (HGGs) constitute the most common malignant primary brain tumor with a poor prognosis despite the standard multimodal therapy. In recent years, immunotherapy has changed the prognosis of many cancers, increasing the hope for HGG therapy. We conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science databases to include relevant studies. This study was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Fifty-two papers were finally included (44 phase II and eight phase III clinical trials) and further divided into four different subgroups: 14 peptide vaccine trials, 15 dendritic cell vaccination (DCV) trials, six immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) trials, and 17 miscellaneous group trials that included both "active" and "passive" immunotherapies. In the last decade, immunotherapy created great hope to increase the survival of patients affected by HGGs; however, it has yielded mostly dismal results in the setting of phase III clinical trials. An in-depth analysis of these clinical results provides clues about common patterns that have led to failures at the clinical level and helps shape the perspective for the next generation of immunotherapies in neuro-oncology.

    Abstract Background: Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is defined as a transient episode of neurologic dysfunction, without acute infarction or tissue injury lasting less than 24 h. Previous data suggest TIA precedes 15% of ischemic strokes, with a higher risk in the first week. Current practice guidelines advise evaluation through rapid neurological visit or admission to hospital. We provide data on TIA incidence in Trieste, and we compare three different types of assessment: day hospital (DH), stroke unit (SU), and emergency department/outpatients (ED).
    Methods: This is a 5-year retrospective study of transient cerebrovascular events admitted in the University Hospital of Trieste (230.623 inhabitants), between 2016 and 2020. We calculated TIA prevalence in Trieste district's general population. Our primary endpoint is ischemic recurrences within 90 days, and we evaluate the possible association between different types of management.
    Results: TIA incidence rate was 0.54/1000 inhabitants. In the multivariate analysis remained significantly associated with primary endpoint: ABCD2 (OR 1.625, CI 95% 1.114-2.369, p = 0.012) and DH evaluation (OR 0.260, CI 95% 0.082-0.819, p = 0.021).
    Conclusions: Incidence of TIA in Trieste district is in line with previous data. We demonstrate the crucial role of DH evaluation over the outpatient/ED in reducing overall mortality and recurrence rate. Prompt recognition of patients at high risk for cerebrovascular events and specialist follow-up may reduce the incidence of major vascular events and death.

    Abstract Background: Neutropenia is an infrequent complication of treatment with CD20 depleting agents and may require the administration of granulocyte-colony stimulating factors (G-CSF), which have been associated with an increased relapse risk in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). The management of this side effect is still matter of debate.
    Methods: Aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical features and the management of neutropenia occurring in anti-CD20 treated PwMS through a single-center case series and a systematic review of the literature, performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
    Results: A total of 19 patients were included (3 from our clinical experience, 16 from the systematic review). Median age was 38 years-old (25-69) and nearly 70% were female, most of these patients had already received a median of 3 (0-4) previous treatments. Neutropenia occurred in 11 patients treated with ocrelizumab and 8 with rituximab, after a median of 2 (1-7) infusions and 9.5 (1-42) months from the first infusion. Most of these patients had late-onset neutropenia, that occurred after a median time of 90 days (2-156). About 70% of patients were symptomatic and most were treated with G-CSF or antibiotics. No relapses after G-CSF were reported. In those who did not suspend anti-CD20 (68.8%), neutropenia reoccurred in 18.2% of cases. Finally, switching between rituximab and ocrelizumab seem not to affect the occurrence of neutropenia.
    Conclusion: Our data provides practical evidence regarding the occurrence and the management of neutropenia during treatment with anti-CD20 in PwMS.

    Abstract Brain fog can be described as a constellation of new-onset neuropsychiatric sequelae in the post-acute phase of COVID-19 (long COVID). The symptoms include inattention, short-term memory loss, and reduced mental acuity, which may undermine cognition, concentration, and sleep. This cognitive impairment, persisting for weeks or months after the acute phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection, can significantly impact on daily activities and the quality of life. An important role for the complement system (C) in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 has emerged since the beginning of pandemic outbreak. A number of pathophysiological characteristics including microangiopathy and myocarditis have been attributed to dysregulated C activation due to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Mannan-binding lectin (MBL), the first recognition subcomponent of the C lectin pathway, has been shown to bind to glycosylated SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, genetic variants of

    Abstract Whole-exome sequencing (WES) in families with an unexplained tendency for venous thromboembolism (VTE) may favor detection of low-frequency variants in genes with known contribution to hemostasis or associated with VTE-related phenotypes. WES analysis in six family members, three of whom affected by documented VTE, filtered for MAF < 0.04 in 192 candidate genes, revealed 22 heterozygous (16 missense and six synonymous) variants in patients. Functional prediction by multi-component bioinformatics tools, implemented by a database/literature search, including ClinVar annotation and QTL analysis, prioritized 12 missense variants, three of which (
