    Abstract The papers in this volume derive from the proceedings of the nineteenth International Bronze Congress, held at the Getty Center and Villa in October 2015 in connection with the exhibition Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World. The study of large-scale ancient bronzes has long focused on aspects of technology and production. Analytical work of materials, processes, and techniques has significantly enriched our understanding of the medium. Most recently, the restoration history of bronzes has established itself as a distinct area of investigation. How does this scholarship bear on the understanding of bronzes within the wider history of ancient art? How do these technical data relate to our ideas of styles and development? How has the material itself affected ancient and modern perceptions of form, value, and status of works of art?

    Abstract The optimal antimicrobial regimen for adults with respiratory failure due to Legionella pneumonia remains controversial. A systematic review was performed to assess the impact on outcomes comparing quinolones versus macrolides. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Cochrane Library and Web of Science between 2012 and 2022. It yielded 124 potentially articles and ten observational studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 4271 patients were included, 2879 (67 %) were male. A total of 1797 (42 %) subjects required intensive care unit (ICU) admission and 942 (52 %) mechanical ventilation. Fluoroquinolones and macrolides alone were administered in 1397 (33 %) and 1500 (35 %) subjects, respectively; combined therapy in 204 (4.8 %) patients. Overall mortality was 7.4 % (319 patients), with no difference between antibiotics. When data from the three studies with severe pneumonia were pooled together, mortality with fluoroquinolones alone was statistically superior to macrolides alone (72.8 % vs 30.8 %, p value 0.027). Hospital length of stay and complications were comparable. Our findings suggest that macrolides and quinolones were comparable for hospitalized Legionella pneumonia. However, in severe pneumonia, a randomized clinical trial is an unmet clinical need. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42023389308.

    Abstract Background: Legionnaires' disease (LD) is a common but under-diagnosed cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), although rapid detection of urine antigen testing (UAT) and advances in molecular testing have improved the diagnosis. LD entails intensive care unit (ICU) admission in almost one-third of cases, and the mortality rate ranges from 4% to 40%. This review aims to discuss recent advances in the study of this condition and to provide an update on the diagnosis, pathogenesis and management of severe LD.
    Results: The overall incidence of LD has increased worldwide in recent years due to the higher number of patients with risk factors, especially immunosuppression, and to improvements in diagnostic methods. Although LD is responsible for only around 5% of all-cause CAP, it is one of the three most common causes of CAP requiring ICU admission. Mortality in ICU patients, immunocompromised patients or patients with a nosocomial source of LD can reach 40% despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Regarding pathogenesis, no Legionella-specific virulence factors have been associated with severity; however, recent reports have found high pulmonary Legionella DNA loads, and impairments in immune response and lung microbiome in the most severe cases. The clinical picture includes severe lung injury requiring respiratory and/or hemodynamic support, extrapulmonary symptoms and non-specific laboratory findings. LD diagnostic methods have improved due to the broad use of UAT and the development of molecular methods allowing the detection of all Lp serogroups. Therapy is currently based on macrolides, quinolones, or a combination of the two, with prolonged treatment in severe cases.
    Conclusions: Numerous factors influence the mortality rate of LD, such as ICU admission, the underlying immune status, and the nosocomial source of the infection. The host immune response (hyperinflammation and/or immunoparalysis) may also be associated with increased severity. Given that the incidence of LD is rising, studies on specific biomarkers of severity may be of great interest. Further assessments comparing different regimens and/or evaluating host-directed therapies are nowadays needed.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The aim was to examine and summarize the most recent published literature in the last years stating the advances for treatment options and adjunctive therapies in patients hospitalized with severe community-acquired pneumonia (sCAP). Search was performed in PubMed, including observational studies, randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and international guidelines.
    Recent findings: Regardless of a large number of published CAP guidelines, most of their recommendations are based on low-level evidence.Viruses have an increasing role as sCAP etiology with an impact on mortality. Accordingly, it is imperative to strengthen the demand for vaccines and newer antivirals. Considering an early monitoring of the immune response in patients with severe Influenza, may help to evaluate a personalized immunomodulatory strategy. Despite growing evidence, the use of corticosteroids as an adjunctive therapy in bacterial sCAP continues to be controversial.
    Summary: Mortality due to sCAP still remains undesirably high. This fact strengthens the need for more high-quality research to increase evidence. It also highlights the need for clinicians to be aware of the level of evidence of the stated recommendations, taking this into consideration before decision making.
