    Abstract Nowadays, the interest in the extraskeletal effects of vitamin D is growing. In the literature, its several possible actions have been confirmed. Vitamin D seems to have a regulatory role in many different fields-inflammation, immunity, and the endocrine system-and many studies would demonstrate a possible correlation between vitamin D and cardiovascular disease. In this paper, we deepened the relationship between vitamin D and dyslipidemia by reviewing the available literature. The results are not entirely clear-cut: on the one hand, numerous observational studies suggest a link between higher serum vitamin D levels and a beneficial lipid profile, while on the other hand, interventional studies do not demonstrate a significant effect. Understanding the possible relationship between vitamin D and dyslipidemia may represent a turning point: another link between vitamin D and the cardiovascular system.

    Abstract Ageing is a multifactorial physiological manifestation that occurs inexorably and gradually in all forms of life. This process is linked to the decay of homeostasis due to the progressive decrease in the reparative and regenerative capacity of tissues and organs, with reduced physiological reserve in response to stress. Ageing is closely related to oxidative damage and involves immunosenescence and tissue impairment or metabolic imbalances that trigger inflammation and inflammasome formation. One of the main ageing-related alterations is the dysregulation of the immune response, which results in chronic low-level, systemic inflammation, termed "inflammaging". Genetic and epigenetic changes, as well as environmental factors, promote and/or modulate the mechanisms of ageing at the molecular, cellular, organ, and system levels. Most of these mechanisms are characterized by time-dependent patterns of variation driven by the biological clock. In this review, we describe the involvement of ageing-related processes with inflammation in relation to the functioning of the biological clock and the mechanisms operating this intricate interaction.

    Abstract The molecular clockwork drives rhythmic oscillations of signaling pathways managing intermediate metabolism; the circadian timing system synchronizes behavioral cycles and anabolic/catabolic processes with environmental cues, mainly represented by light/darkness alternation. Metabolic pathways, bile acid synthesis, and autophagic and immune/inflammatory processes are driven by the biological clock. Proper timing of hormone secretion, metabolism, bile acid turnover, autophagy, and inflammation with behavioral cycles is necessary to avoid dysmetabolism. Disruption of the biological clock and mistiming of body rhythmicity with respect to environmental cues provoke loss of internal synchronization and metabolic derangements, causing liver steatosis, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes mellitus.

    Abstract Orthopaedic manifestations of wild-type transthyretin amyloidosis are frequent and characteristic, including idiopathic bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome, idiopathic lumbar canal stenosis, atraumatic rupture of the brachial biceps tendon, and, more rarely, finger disease and rotator cuff. These manifestations often coexisting in the same patient, frequently male and aged, steadily precede cardiac involvement inducing a rapidly progressive heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Although transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis remains a cardiac relevant disease, these extracardiac localisation may increase diagnostic suspicion and allow for early diagnosis assuming the role of useful diagnostic red flags, especially in light of new therapeutic opportunities that can slow or stop the progression of the disease. For the cardiologist, the recognition of these extracardiac red flags is of considerable importance to reinforce an otherwise less emerging diagnostic suspicion. For orthopedists and rheumatologists, the presence in an old patient with or without clinical manifestations of cardiovascular disease, of an unexpected and inexplicable constellation of musculoskeletal symptoms, can represent a fundamental moment for an early diagnosis and treatment is improving a patient's outcome.

    Abstract A diagnostic algorithm for SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients admitted to the emergency area, based on a combination of rapid antigen and molecular testing, has been evaluated with 3070 nasopharyngeal swabs. Compared to molecular test alone, the proposed algorithm allowed to significantly reduce costs and average time to results.

    Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis (CA), caused by the deposition of insoluble amyloid fibrils, impairs different cardiac structures, altering not only left ventricle (LV) systo-diastolic function but also atrial function and the conduction system. The consequences of the involvement of the cardiac electrical system deserve more attention, as well as the study of the underlying molecular mechanisms. This is an issue of considerable interest, given the conflicting data on the effectiveness of conventional antiarrhythmic strategies. Therefore, this review aims at summarizing the arrhythmic burden related to CA and the available evidence on antiarrhythmic treatment in this population.

    Abstract Heme is a member of the porphyrins family of cyclic tetrapyrroles and influences various cell processes and signalling pathways. Enzyme deficiencies in the heme biosynthetic pathway provoke rare human inherited metabolic diseases called porphyrias. Protein levels and activity of enzymes involved in the heme biosynthetic pathway and especially 5'-Aminolevulinate Synthase 1 are featured by 24-h rhythmic oscillations driven by the biological clock. Heme biosynthesis and circadian pathways intermingle with mutual modulatory roles. Notably, heme is a ligand of important cogs of the molecular clockwork, which upon heme binding recruit co-repressors and inhibit the transcription of numerous genes enriching metabolic pathways and encoding functional proteins bringing on crucial cell processes. Herein, we assessed mRNA levels of circadian genes in patients suffering from porphyrias and found several modifications of core clock genes and clock-controlled genes expression, associated with metabolic and electrolytic changes. Overall, our results show an altered expression of circadian genes accompanying heme biosynthesis disorders and confirm the need to deepen the knowledge of the mechanisms through which the alteration of the circadian clock circuitry could take part in determining signs and symptoms of porphyria patients and then again could represent a target for innovative therapeutic strategies.
