Abstract	Vaccination plays a pivotal role in the control of infectious disease outbreaks. Hesitancy/refusal of the vaccine by immigrants poses a serious threat to their and society's health. We reviewed studies regarding COVID-19 vaccine uptake in Europe by first-generation immigrants. A systematic review (PROSPERO: CRD42023432142), conducted until 31 October 2023 using Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus, identified 295 potential articles. Of these, 16 conducted on 2,009,820 immigrants in nine European countries met the eligibility criteria. Most studies were of medium/high quality according to the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale adapted for observational studies. Factors that affected the uptake or hesitancy/refusal to vaccinate, with particular regard to gender, age, and country of origin, were examined. The meta-analysis of eight studies revealed that the pooled estimated prevalence of COVID-19 vaccine uptake in first-generation immigrants was 71.3% (95% CI: 70.0-72.5%), corresponding to 13.3% less than the host country population (95% CI: 10.2-16.4%). Limitations of included studies and this review were deeply discussed, highlighting the need for further research on the effect of acculturation on second-generation immigrants. European governments need to ensure equal availability of COVID-19 and other health-saving vaccines to all immigrants in the future by overcoming cultural barriers, building trust in institutions, and improving communication.

Abstract	Biomarkers are defined as objectively measurable variables of a biologic process, either physiologic or pathologic, that provide reliable information on the status of that specific process in a specific moment. Validated biomarkers in epilepsy research represent an urgent unmet need being essential to improve research quality; as an example, biomarkers in epileptogenesis identifying these subjects at risk to develop epilepsy after an initial insult definitively would lead to an improvement in clinical studies to find antiepileptogenic drugs. The gut microbiota (GM) has recently encountered the interest of neuroscience which confirmed its clear involvement in several neurological disorders. GM's role in epilepsy has only recently been studied, however, interesting results are already available. Besides the interest in GM as a suitable therapeutic target and a few preclinical and clinical studies indicating the potential antiseizure effects of GM manipulation, microbiota composition has been found altered in patients with epilepsy as well as some animal models. Only few studies have tried to analyse GM composition as a suitable biomarker and, despite very promising, several drawbacks limit our understanding. On the other hand, GM composition may be useful in discriminating drug-resistant from drug-responsive patients at any stage or patients at risk of developing epilepsy after an insult. The main limitation in the area is the lack of large studies in homogeneous patients and standardization is a must for a proper understanding. Finally, considering the number of variables coming both from epilepsy and GM, big data analysis as in the case of genetics should be considered.

Abstract	Concerns about body image may affect athletes, mainly because of specific sports models to achieve successful performance. This systematic review reports on body image dissatisfaction (BID) in athletes following the guidelines for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. From a total of 887 articles identified through a systematic search of electronic databases, 15 articles conducted on 2412 athletes were included in this review. To be eligible for inclusion, the studies must have been published in the last ten years up until September 2022 and analyze body image perception using body figure drawings and anthropometric profiles. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the adapted Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for observational studies. These studies were compared through thematic analysis of BID to develop four general issues, including gender, sport type and level, and weight status. According to the meta-analyses, the significant medium and small effect sizes found for gender and weight status, respectively, indicated that male athletes had lower BID than females and that, among the latter, normal-weight athletes had a higher BID than underweight ones. The implications and limitations of the included studies are discussed extensively in this review, highlighting the need for further research on BID examined both in the social and the sports contexts. Sports activity should be carried out following healthy lifestyles, and promoting positive BI.

Abstract	Heatwaves, defined as extended periods of excessive heat, are one of the most hazardous weather events, with important implications for human health, the economy and infrastructure. The time needed to prepare for an extreme weather event is often on the order of several weeks to months, well beyond the current reliability of short-term weather predictions. In this project, we aim to enhance the predictability of heatwaves at lead times of weeks to months by allowing for an improved understanding of their fundamental drivers. This will be achieved by building a model hierarchy of increasing complexity of the general circulation model ICON. The hierarchy includes model versions starting from the ICON dry dynamical core to the full model physics, to investigate specific mechanisms of potential relevance for the representation of heatwaves at the different steps of the hierarchy. Here we present the preliminary results of the project. These include a set of experiments with the dry dynamical model core, showing that mountains located along the midlatitude jet axis have the largest impact on heatwaves and that changes in surface roughness length affect the intensity and the position of the jet, with important consequences for the occurrence of heatwaves, particularly over the mid-to-high latitudes. Additionally, we present a series of experiments testing the effect of local changes to different features of a Mixed-Layer Ocean, as well as an evaluation of the ability of the ICON version with full model physics in reproducing heatwave events as derived from reanalysis data.

Abstract	A persistent high-pressure ridge in the upper troposphere is a vital ingredient for mid-latitude temperature extremes. Changes in the basic state for stationary synoptic-scale waves are, therefore, commonly discussed to understand the response of dynamical heatwave drivers to global warming. However, the relationship between upper-tropospheric Rossby wave phase speed and surface extremes is not fully resolved. Combining a complex principal component analysis of reanalysis data with idealized model experiments, we relate Rossby wave phase speed to baroclinic wave amplitudes and differences in the basic state. Specifically, we find an equatorward shift for both synoptic-scale wave amplitude and the zonal-mean westerly jet during low-phase speed episodes, but an enhanced Atlantic storm track and a broadened zonal-mean jet during high-phase speed episodes. This analysis allows us to understand how the occurrence and location of large monthly-mean meridional wind anomalies and increased frequencies of surface extremes depend on the dominant synoptic-scale wave phase speed.

Abstract	The purpose of this study was to compare the three-dimensional (3D) operating exoscope (OE) with the conventional operating microscope (OM) in head and neck reconstruction. A retrospective cohort study was performed including 50 consecutive patients with no history of previous surgery or irradiation (32 male, 18 female; mean age 59.2 ± 13.3 years), who underwent free flap head and neck reconstruction using a 3D OE (n = 25; OE group) or conventional OM (n = 25; OM group). The mean total operative time was 8.0 ± 1.53 h in the OE group and 7.6 ± 1.52 h in the OM group (P = 0.86). The median (interquartile range) anastomosis time was 78.0 (63.0-91.5) minutes in the OE group and 90.0 (75.5-115.0) minutes in the OM group (P = 0.06). The final free flap survival rate was 100%. Only seven patients experienced a free flap reconstruction-related complication, and they were similarly distributed between the two groups (four in the OE group, three in the OM group; P = 0.68). Secondary outcomes (length of hospital stay, tracheostomy dependence, feeding tube dependence) were comparable in the two groups (P > 0.05). The 3D OE is a viable alternative to the conventional OM for performing standard head and neck free flap reconstructive procedures.

Abstract	Objective: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a complex and multifactorial syndrome associated with urinary frequency, urgency and incontinence. The menopause-associated hormonal changes play a role in the development of this condition. Vaginal estrogens are effective in improving OAB in postmenopausal women (PMW) with vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA). Ospemifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator licensed for the treatment of VVA. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ospemifene on OAB symptoms in PMW with VVA. Methods: Forty PMW suffering from OAB and VVA received oral ospemifene (60 mg/day) for 12 weeks. All patients were assessed with a urodynamic study, a 3-day bladder diary and validated questionnaires (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Urinary Incontinence Short Form [ICIQ-UI SF] and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Overactive Bladder [ICIQ-OAB]) at enrollment and at the end of the study. Results: Cytometric capacity, bladder compliance and verbal sensory threshold responses during bladder filling were improved after treatment. The voiding diary showed a significant reduction of daily voids, urge urinary incontinence episodes and nocturnal events. The median overall scores of the ICIQ-UI and ICIQ-OAB were also significantly improved. Conclusions: Our study suggest that treatment with ospemifene in PMW suffering from OAB is associated with a reduction of OAB symptoms due to a decreased bladder sensitivity and with an improvement in quality of life.

Abstract	Insects possess an effective immune system, which has been extensively characterized in several model species, revealing a plethora of conserved genes involved in recognition, signaling, and responses to pathogens and parasites. However, some taxonomic groups, characterized by peculiar trophic niches, such as plant-sap feeders, which are often important pests of crops and forestry ecosystems, have been largely overlooked regarding their immune gene repertoire. Here we annotated the immune genes of soft scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccidae) for which omics data are publicly available. By using immune genes of aphids and
